Alireza Ghafouri has deep admiration, love and connection to the construction industry and all the trades that come with it. His initial experience working for other construction companies showed him there is a void in this stratified sub-contractual industry. There are too many moving parts for the industry to be as effective as it could be. He found this status quo construction business model is not only costly, but left room for stress, confusion, unaccountability and mismanagement. He set forth to revolutionize the construction system to bring more.
In 2016, to address this need for a one-stop-shop business model in the construction industry, he launched his own company with the goal to bring all trades under one mission, one brand, one objective, and ultimately, under one roof. But it doesn’t stop here. Alireza is expanding the concept of one-stop-shop to all aspects of development, mortgage financing, and real estate. So not only will the same company take care of your home building top to bottom, but it will help source the land, get your finances in order, and ultimately sell it for you if that’s the direction you choose.
Alireza came to realize this is the only way to competently, proficiently and resourcefully get the work done for his clients. He wanted to bring a change to a system where complacent piece-meal work has become the norm; where the “buck gets passed” on to the next trade with little accountability when workers clock out. Rather, he wanted to deliver accountability to clients by seeing the whole job through, responsible for and in control of all aspects, from design to finishings, whether moving in or selling.

He saw a need to not only bring the construction trades all under one roof to improve efficiency, cut costs, deliver higher value, improve accountability and job management, and alleviate stress and confusion that comes with dealing with multiple businesses all on one construction site, but to expedite the purchasing, financing, and development aspects of the construction industry too.
The consolidation of trades under one roof will allow for passing on cost-saving and financial gains to the customer. Under this business model, the payment structure would be one where there is a cost for services done, instead of a percentage on top in addition to cost of services.
His goal is to transform the process of purchasing, building, mortgage financing, land sourcing, developing real estate into one that is executed with ease for his clients. Mr Ghafouri wants the process, from beginning to end, to be structured, simple, enjoyable, stress-free and rewarding for his clients. A productive environment is one where the customers feel at ease with the creative design process, and are allowed to change their minds mid-process. For Alireza, the construction and real estate journey begins and ends with his customers’ happiness + satisfaction. Any decision making pertaining to his clients’ financial investments, whether a residential home wherein to build memories, or building to sell, each decision made has to have the stamp of approval from A.A.G. Services customers; our customers are always right.
At A.A.G. the journey is the process and the end goal is high customer satisfaction. Currently, to Mr Alireza’s knowledge, there is no other company in the Lower Mainland that can offer its clients this all-in-one customized approach. Almost all competitors use the traditional model of using various unaffiliated companies to get the job done.
