ABOUT OUR FOUNDER

Wilson B. Santiago, founder and major proprietor of WICON Contractors, started his career in the construction business as a project draftsman in Brazil. In 1986, Mr. Santiago immigrated to Canada and started working as an assistant-carpenter in Toronto. After 6 months of practice and studies of the local construction codes, he ventured into self-employed-carpentry, starting to use the acronym WICON.

After three years of working in that region, he moved to Vancouver in search of new business opportunities and challenges, as well as to enjoy better weather conditions.

Once in Vancouver, Mr. Santiago started working as a framer-carpenter on high rising, single and custom housing, condominiums and commercial buildings projects. After becoming familiar and comfortable with B.C.’s construction bylaws, he founded WICON Contractors.

Since its inception in the year 1989, WICON Contractors has been involved in several projects from foundation to finish, as well as on simple and/or complete home renovations. Beyond his experience in Canada, Wilson Santiago is also skilled in setting up Canadian pre-fabricated houses in San Francisco, CA, in the USA.
