I hired RDC Fines Homes to build a green platinum certified home, and was impressed with their business practices, customer service and quality craftsmanship. If you want peace of mind, industry leading expertise, and award-winning results, Bob Deeks and his team will deliver in spades.

We were extremely disappointed in RDC Fine Homes and the best advice I can give to anyone considering them for their project is DON'T! We had them \try\ to build what should have been a relatively simple project. They estimated that it would take 6 weeks to complete and the approved budget contract was about 165,000. After 4 months of aggravation and constant oversight, excessive and ongoing cost overruns, some real terrible workmanship and outright mistakes, we parted ways and I am now left to finish it myself or hire another contractor. Far too many issues occurred for me to detail in this review, but some low points include: •\tGross mismanagement of budget and resources. Project cost went well beyond what was agreed to and signed off on. RDC eventually realized this after I expressed concerns and they fired the project manager that was assigned to my job. •\tPoor workmanship and constant excuses. Some I can and will correct, but others are permanent and I will unfortunately have to live with them. •\tLack of supervision. Inexperienced workers were left on their own to \do their best\. There was a constant turnover of different workers along with a constant theme of doing, undoing and redoing work. You're getting billed 75/hr for a 2 year apprentice to learn on your job. Other workers were observed smoking weed at the start of and throughout the day and then operating a 65' man-lift... I'm sure Worksafe would love that! We were very patient and gave RDC many opportunities to make things right. In their defense they met with us and tried to get things back on track... for significantly more money of course. Even then, however, they just didn't have the capacity to meet their own objectives... the lip service simply didn't produce real service. Don't be fooled by their marketing and advertising like we did. There are good and reliable contractors here in Whistler, but based on our experience RDC Fine Homes isn't one of them. Be warned!
As an Architect, we have worked very successfully with RDC on several projects over the last 6 years. We particularly like working with them as they understand the team approach to a project, from the early stages of the design concept to the final details of construction. They are very knowledgeable with regards to new technologies, and energy efficiency. I would highly recommend them to my clients.
We're working with RDC on several projects in Whistler and have nothing but good things to say. Their team is excellent at communication and is always on the lookout for new and inventive solutions. It's refreshing to work with a team who push integrated design and new technologies. Would highly recommend.
For the past decade I've know Bob Deeks and his team at RDC Fine Homes. I've had the pleasure to work with them over the years in Whistler and have never been disappointed. Details, communication, professionals. Thank you for being consistent in a world of inconsistency.. Heather Clifford (KISS Media) Keep It Simple Social Media
