to our new website. Buying and constructing a home
is a major decision. You want to have as much
information as possible regarding who you are dealing
with, what your builder can and can’t do for you and
what to expect during the various stages of
construction. We are introducing both WDS
Construction Ltd. And ourselves to you and hoping to
answer some of the questions all buyers should be
asking when they are considering building a home. You
want to be as comfortable and as well educated as you
can be in order to know you are making the best
choice for you and your family.
David Smith, the President of WDS Construction was
born and raised in Kitchener-Waterloo, is an
engineering graduate from the University of Waterloo
and has been involved with land development and
construction for over 25 years. David has been a
member of both the Ontario and K-W Home Builders
Associations for many years, was elected to the Board
of Directors and subsequently served as President in
1983 and 1985. WDS was formed in 1988 to be a small
volume, "hands on", home building company. David’s
idea is to be involved in the construction of each
house to ensure that the required care and
quality are put into each WDS home.
Lynn Class, owner of L. Class Marketing &
Consulting came on board in 1996 after having
spent a number of years as sales manager with Cook
Homes. Lynn covers off the sales side with the able
assistance of two sales ladies. As well as getting
involved in the home design process she is able to
work directly with the purchasers to help them modify
the plans to best suit their needs. Lynn also assists
at the colour selection stage to help purchasers
co-ordinate the look and feel they want in their new
home.
Lynn is available from the initial contact to the
final inspection and all the stages in between. When
you come to view a WDS model home, you’ll find very
few if any upgrades in them, the price reflects the
"what you see is what you get" sales mandate.
Ralph Van Dyke, our site super, came to Canada from
Holland in 1950. Ralph, a carpenter by trade, went on
to own and operate Van Dyke Construction for over 35
years. Ralph framed all of his own homes and it is the
framing crews that he trained that are with WDS today.
Ralph knows every facet of home construction and is on
site and available to all the trades and more
importantly to our home buyers should any questions
arise during construction of the their home.
WDS builds approximately 20 homes per year and as a
small volume builder know we can offer a more hands-
on relationship-oriented building process. With the
help of our trades and suppliers, we can offer an
exciting and satisfying building experience from
beginning to end.
