-Required self-isolation for any staff that are showing symptoms consistent with COVID-19.
-All person's entering or remaining on one of Fire Ant Contracting's sites shall wear a mask or face covering which covers the nose, mouth, and chin.  This is required weather the site is outdoors or indoors.
-Enforcing social distancing policies on work sites, meetings and in our office. We have implemented training for enhanced hygiene practices which help limit the potential spread of the virus.
-Increased cleaning and disinfecting of surfaces in our offices, vehicles and work sites especially those which are subject to frequent contact.

COR Certified - What It Means

taduuda 76960


A Certificate of Recognition is given to employers that meet the provincial standards for health and safety. To become COR certified an employer has to put a program in place and have it audited by a qualified specialist. The certification is maintained by repeat audits after the first year and then every three years. Health and safety has always been a major priority for Fire Ant Contracting. We are proud to carry the COR badge as of May, 2017.

COR Certified Companies

Our health and safety management system considers every individual who steps foot on our jobsite. With our sign-in sheets we know who is coming and going and who is still on-site. We keep safety equipment including fire extinguishers on-site at all times and in multiple locations if necessary. Appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) must be used by all employees and any persons visiting the jobsite. Signage is put in place to identify hazards and promote procedural safety measures.


We believe that jobsite safety is facilitated through education. Training and proper supervision within our own team reduces mistakes on every level. We also work with homeowners so that they know what will be happening in their home at all times and what will be expected of them while work is taking place. Another key factor is communication. We maintain open lines at all times for homeowners and building residents. If something appears unusual we want to know about it right away. Our team members are also trained to identify issues and proactively get the word out.


If you have any questions about health and safety during the renovation process please don’t hesitate to ask. In the end safety depends on cooperation on all sides. Our COR certification demonstrates our commitment.

Varisty Home Renovation with Addition

Kraatz

Fire Ant Contracting are very proud to share our latest whole home renovation with an addition, a home for a beautiful family in Calgary's NW community of Varsity.  We transformed this dated family home into a contemporary living space with luxury finishes.  We vastly increased the square footage of this home by extending the garage to the front of the property and adding two bedrooms above.  Beautiful walnut is featured throughout, stunning against the white tones on the walls and countertops.

Thank you for trusting Fire Ant Contracting with your beautiful home transformation!
