“We apply the same technical expertise to every project. We treat our clients respectfully and take pride in the work we do,” Korell says. Barnes & Duncan participates in the whole process from start to finish — from the initial design of subdivisions for developers all the way through to the homeowner moving in and needing subsequent surveys for prop- erty upgrades, such as landscaping, fencing or additional grading. “New home buyers can have confidence knowing we verify that your house is being built in the right place, ensuring zoning conformity and that plans have been correctly followed, and we do this for each client — not only for their own peace of mind but to ensure a harmo- nious community for all residents,” Korell says. Barnes & Duncan offers these valu- able builder support services across Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario. Interestingly, their expertise extends beyond urban development, with a significant portion of their work taking place in cottage country as well. Deploying cutting-edge technologies such as the use of drones to capture large amounts of data for planning and development use, hydrones (remote control boats) for bathy- metric (underwater) surveys and 3D laser scanning ensures all clients are well-served in Manitoba and Northwest Ontario. From developers to homebuilders to homeowners, Barnes & Duncan ensures seamless project service delivery throughout the entire land development journey.
