Elevating the Standard of Custom Residential Construction
People often say timing is everything in life. Nothing could be more true than the new business venture, Elevate² Builders, developed by two good friends Wayne Dupuis and Paul St. Pierre. Both Wayne and Paul have created a name for themselves with over 35 years of experience in local businesses. Wayne Dupuis is known for his custom work in his company, Wayne’s Custom Woodcraft, and Paul St. Pierre is known for, Landscape Effects Group of Companies. One may wonder, with such successful businesses, why these friends decided to pursue another business venture. The answer is quite simple. The idea of opening a construction company has been a topic of discussion for more than 10 years for both of them. They have been aspiring to do something new, different and very custom. It took years of discussion for this plan to take shape, however, they have now put it into action.
The name of their new business is unique. Wayne explains the word “elevate”. He says, “Because of our close friendship, Paul and I have always encouraged one another to elevate our companies to the best of our abilities.” Paul says, “The number 2, is the power of two coming together.” Not only are two people coming together, but two areas of expertise are collaborating.
When it comes to creativity, this company cannot express enough how the creative process will be unique and offer something they believe their clients deserve. Paul says, “We both have high levels of creativity. We are going to redefine custom. The word ‘custom’ is used all the time, however, this will be different as we will be tying inside and outside together. This applies to all areas of construction, not strictly residential builds.” According to Wayne, the process will start with a team of professionals. He says, “We are going to assemble only the best team possible from the very beginning. Collaboration is essential for us.” Wayne will also bring in his daughters when necessary, to enhance the client experience. Paul says, “We don’t want a particular building style, we want to be creative and different. We want to design something that fits the clients, the building site and the overarching goal in mind.” Their residential projects can also be home renovations as well. Paul promises to bring “creative freedom” to the market in a way that has not been seen before.
Elevate² Builders is ready to begin construction of two homes at Rochester Place. Wayne says, “These are at the drawing stage. These are unique one-of-a-kind homes.” Paul says, “The first builds at Rochester Place are land developments that people haven’t seen. With this being said, Paul says, “We are looking for a client who values creativity and would like to explore all the possibilities.” With the first two lots, they have already proven that there are no limits to their creativity, as both have 8-12 feet grade changes on the North Shore. Wayne and Paul confirm that they will have more lots coming, in various locations.
“Finally” is a word that can be used when discussing Wayne and Paul’s new construction company Elevate² Builders. Paul says, “This company will push boundaries and limits where possible.” Wayne admits that the two friends have always been competing with each other. Their competitive nature has allowed them to want to be better and the best in the business. For this reason, they are confident they have what it takes to take the construction industry to another level. Wayne says, “Get ready!”
