Meet Joel Davie 

Joel Davie is the Director and Founder of Better Under Construction.

With a Red Seal in Carpentry and a Project Management Certificate, Joel understands the importance of quality workmanship and attention to detail. His commitment towards precision and accuracy ensures desirable outcomes, surpassing client expectations. During his apprenticeship, he spent the first 6 years of his professional career working on a variety of reputable commercial redevelopment projects including : Vancouver International Airport, Canada Post Office (Amazon Hub), Vancouver General & Surrey Memorial Hospital, BC Hydro Offices, Abbotsford Law Courts and various malls including Oakridge, Brentwood and Lougheed. After completing his apprenticeship Joel moved to the Sunshine Coast for 2 years to build custom homes and during that time, developed a dream of building a self-sufficient house of his own. Ever since he has been building what is now "Better Under Construction" and is enjoying every minute of it.

Joel advocates for longevity and encourages sustainable construction, energy-efficient housing, resource-friendly practices and cultivating resilient communities. His strategy towards being intentional as for how he creates, along with his objective to build purposefully, generates support for various community-driven foundations.

When Joel clocks out at the end of the day, he enjoys decompressing and embracing life’s simple pleasures — playing the custom guitars he built, taking his rescued golden retriever swimming and taking advantage of the health benefits that come with cold plunging and using saunas.
