This is why in 2010, I also came to terms with the fact that I could not fit into a conventional box, gave up the security of a greatly paid 9-5 corporate job, and decided to finally start with my wife our very first joint business venture—BCF Contracting Group Corporation. We made this big decision just as we made all of our life’s choices—hand in hand, empowered by our mutual trust in each other and our abilities to never give up on anything we dream of.

The beginning of our family-owned and operated business was not even remotely easy. We started literally from the bottom of a few basement remodeling projects and moved up to higher assignments through a lot of hard work, motivation, inspiration, and dedication. Cornelia was always the heart of customer support, accounting, and human resources, while I dealt with the project management and all the technical, legal, and on-site logistics of the business. We never took anything for granted. Every small contract we got awarded was a celebration for us. Every time we got a first project with a new client, it was a big win. A couple of years later, when we moved into our main office, we knew that our true vision for BCF Contracting Group was finally coming to life.

Building a business from scratch is hard, but not impossible. There is no secret “standard” way of starting a venture from nothing. If you’d ask Cornelia for the main ingredient in our “recipe” for success, she will most likely tell you that it is my leadership (a leader always on board, an innovative project manager, and a visionary who believes in the success of the project). If you’d ask me, I would say that the main ingredients were and always will be Cornelia’s everlasting hope for greatness and our joint vision of building something beautiful that is changing lives. Together we are firm believers in quality because quality is what remains long after the dust settles. We truly built our reputation on the quality we always provide to our clients.

For Cornelia and me, as business owners, it’s always been about the freedom of being able to chase big dreams, the thrill of building a personal empire, and the joy of making a mark on the world by doing something that could benefit another human being. Probably, if we are to choose only one best part of being entrepreneurs, we would first and foremost value the customer’s satisfaction. With every project, we are building something new that enriches someone’s life. With every family or organization we reach and help, BCF Contracting Group is teaching us a valuable life lesson for which we are deeply thankful.

BCF Contracting Group has been serving Toronto since 2010 and is driven to provide our customers with exceptional quality service and to give you the experience of a lifetime. You can be assured that should you be choosing us for your new home or remodeling project, our excellence in building, customizing, and redesigning will allow you to soon recharge in a modern, soothing, fresh, sleek design. We are true believers that the sky is the limit when it comes to your personal dreams and achievements.

Some people still say that we were lucky not only to find each other in this big world but also to have built a successful business together. We would honestly tell you that while some good luck helps, the key to succeeding boils down to putting in the time and effort after you’ve figured out what it is that you love and forming a business around it. You’ll put so much into it that it’ll be difficult to fail.
