What We Do

Remarkable Renovations.
Award-Winning Service.

A Whistler-based boutique renovation and construction management firm. Principal-led, Red Seal–supported, and built on a foundation of disciplined craftsmanship and transparent communication.

Our Services

Every Project. Every Detail.

From full home renovations and structural additions to precision finish carpentry and exterior waterproofing, we manage every stage of the build — so the result reflects the vision, not the compromises.

What Can Be Included

Every Home Is Different. Every Renovation Is Too.

One of the advantages of working with ACW is the flexibility to combine multiple improvements into a single, well-coordinated project. Depending on your goals, your renovation may include any combination of the following.

Rather than managing multiple contractors, you'll have one experienced renovation partner coordinating every stage of your project.

How We Work

The ACW Approach

Design

Design is a collaborative process at ACW. We work closely with a trusted network of interior designers and architects throughout the Sea to Sky, and are equally comfortable working alongside a designer the client has already chosen.

Matt Hyatt provides constructability feedback, early budgeting insight, and practical guidance on materials, layout, and sequencing as part of every project engagement. We also coordinate with local engineering firms and the RMOW Building and Planning Departments to confirm structural feasibility, building code compliance, and permitting requirements.

Project Management

Matt Hyatt leads every ACW project from initial planning through final completion — supported by PMP-certified project management professionals with two decades of construction experience behind every decision.

Every two weeks during construction, clients receive a structured update package:

  • Progress Report — work completed, upcoming tasks, and items requiring client input, with progress photos
  • Updated Cost Breakdown — live budget showing original estimate, changes to date, and current projected total
  • Progress Invoice — transparent accounting of ACW labour, contractor costs, and materials

Scope changes and unforeseen conditions are documented clearly before being reflected in the budget. Nothing moves quietly.

Construction

Our work spans the full scope of a project — from structural framing and home additions through to the finest finish details. Every build is executed by an experienced team of Red Seal tradespeople who understand how all of it connects.

The Woodworks in our name reflects something deliberate. A deep understanding of finish carpentry and millwork informs how we approach every project — we read drawings differently, hold tighter tolerances, and catch conflicts before they become problems on site.

We coordinate a trusted network of trades, contractors, and consultants who share our standards, allowing projects to move efficiently without compromising on the result.

A Better Renovation Experience

The success of a renovation isn't measured only by the finished product. It's measured by how well the entire journey is managed — from the first conversation to the final walkthrough.

Principal-Led Projects

Matt Hyatt, ACW's owner and principal, is involved from your first conversation through final completion. You won't be handed off to a site supervisor you've never met — experienced leadership is present and accountable throughout your renovation.

Exceptional Communication

Consistent updates, responsive communication, and complete transparency throughout construction. We set clear expectations at every stage and keep you informed before you need to ask.

Detailed Financial Management

Accurate budgeting, detailed cost tracking, and regular financial reporting throughout your project. You'll always know where your investment stands — with no surprises at the end.

Boutique Service

We intentionally limit the number of projects we take on at any one time. That decision isn't about exclusivity — it's about ensuring every client and every home receives the attention it deserves.

Built for Whistler Homes

Whistler's mountain climate creates challenges that contractors from outside the corridor rarely anticipate — snowloads, freeze-thaw cycles, building envelope complexity, and the specific permitting environment of the RMOW. We've been building and renovating here for over 15 years. We understand what this place demands.

Red Seal Certified Craftsmanship

Matt holds dual Red Seal certifications in both Carpentry and Joinery — among the highest trade credentials in Canada. That standard of craft runs through every project ACW touches, from structural framing to finish millwork.
