Our Story
As fate should have it Brian Jansen and Tyler Burslem met as humble ski coaches for the Apex Mountain freestyle ski team in 2003. A friendship quickly forged over their shared passion for outdoor pursuits and athletic performance. Warmer months were spent working together in the construction sector, translating coaching skills into managing successful building projects. In 2009, the relationship evolved into a business partnership and the creation of New Leaf Contracting (NLC) based in Pemberton and Whistler, BC.
Brian and Tyler have built NLC on a solid foundation by consistently applying its core values of:
• Professionalism
