Testimonials
“Phoenix Made Our Dream a Reality”
– Sebastian Hutchings, The Radiant, Banff AB
El Patio | Banff Hospitality Collective | 2017
Jeff Christou & his team at Phoenix Construction bring a strong dedication to ensuring projects are completed on time and on budget. The Phoenix team is capable of addressing any challenge in difficult renovation projects with creative solutions and by working closely with the client and consultants.
During the Magpie & Stump (El Patio) and Chuck's renovation projects we were faced with difficult, constrained site conditions in historic buildings and extreme weather events. Phoenix went above and beyond to ensure our existing operations were impacted as little as possible while providing the expertise and manpower to successfully open these amazing patios. During torrential downpours the Phoenix team ensured the dining rooms were maintained operationally even assisting beyond their scope in the middle of the night out of concern for the project's success. True commitment!

The Bison Restaurant | Banff Hospitality Collective | 2017/18
The Bison Restaurant & Terrace renovation designed by Frank Architecture and executed with the highest level of care and quality by Phoenix Construction showcases their ability to create incredible spaces. The Bison project was completed under budget and 10 days ahead of schedule. In addition to complete demolition and carpentry, Phoenix coordinated the installation of complex millwork, flooring, stone, masonry and equipment resulting in one of Banff's most beautiful dining facilities. Phoenix adhered to an aggressive schedule and worked hand in hand with the BHC to execute the Bison project.
I would highly recommend Phoenix Construction and Jeff Christou as all the Banff Hospitality Collective projects with them have been a resounding success.

The Rose & Crown | Banff, AB
The Rose and Crown of Banff has had the opportunity to work with Phoenix Construction on many renovation and construction jobs over the last several years, and we could not be happier with the results. Jeff and his team have always been professional to the core and their work is of the finest quality. A trait of Jeff’s that I am particularly appreciative of is his constant and direct communication with us on all matters of the project at hand. His oversight of all aspects of the job and his handling of the sub-contractors is always communicated in detail, resulting in a far less stressful situation for the client. Key when dealing with time sensitive and potentially expensive enterprises.
I highly recommend Phoenix Construction to anyone looking for quality workmanship and attention to detail and budget. I personally look forward to our next project together.

The Radiant | Banff, AB | 2019/20
Setting out to create The Radiant, we had a grand aesthetic vision that brought an Old World feel to Banff Avenue. We needed a contractor with exacting standards and an ability to work on budget within a given timeline. To make matters more complicated, the systems in the building we were renovating in had not been updated since the 1950’s and required a significant upgrade to accommodate a modern commercial kitchen. Jeff Christou & his team met all of these challenges and did so while maintaining a professional, positive and upbeat job site. He made all of our ownership group feel welcome and included in the process. The trades he contracted brought a level of excellence to their work that ensured our project was successful. Jeff & his sons care deeply about their work and made the entire renovation process as stress free as possible. We are so happy with the way The Radiant turned out and Jeff & the Phoenix crew made a huge contribution to it becoming the place that it is. We are forever grateful!
