About Stonescape Contracting

A committment to quality inspired James Nantais to form his own company, Stonescape Contracting, in 1994. At the time, he'd worked on masonry and stone work projects for several years in Ontario and then continued his career when he moved to Nanaimo in 1991. By 1994 he was ready to start his own company, where he could control how the work was done.

"I wanted to do the jobs my way - do the type of quality work and complete the projects the way they should be done," he explained. His goal was to do high quality installations and complete projects on time and on budget.

This required developing excellent customer relations, hiring the right people, implementing the right management systems, and acquiring the right equipment.

The company started with one employee and now employs between seven and 10 people, depending on the time of year. Linda Nantais also works for the family-run business, handling accounting and payroll.

"Every year we've expanded. We built our business in a recession and now we're getting even busier," James said.

James has also taken courses in construction law, project management.. All of the company's foremen have their first aid ticket.

Stonescape Contracting Ltd. is a member of the Canadian Home Builders Association, the Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce, and the Mid-Island Construction Association. James is a past director of CHBA-Nanaimo.
