With over 23 years in the construction industry, Chad brings a rare combination of versatility and precision to Southall’s Construction. From custom home builds to complex renovations, he’s spent decades refining his skills as a Red Seal Carpenter—whether that’s on fine interior finishes or behind the controls of heavy machinery shaping the land.

Chad’s attention to detail shows in everything he does. He’s just as comfortable operating an excavator as he is crafting cabinetry, and he’s recently added photography and videography to his toolkit—helping capture the work Southall’s is proud to share. No matter the task, he brings a consistent philosophy: do it right, do it honestly, and always aim to be better than yesterday.

Off the job site, Chad is at home in the backcountry or in his woodworking shop, designing pieces that are just waiting to come to life. Whether it’s riding trails, road-tripping with his family, or creating something by hand, his curiosity and craftsmanship never really clock out.

With over 12 years in the construction industry, Aiden brings deep expertise in wood-frame construction and concrete foundations to every Southall’s project. His background spans everything from custom homes to large-scale commercial and condo builds—always with an eye for precision and quality.

As a Red Seal Certified Carpenter and Site Supervisor, Aiden ensures the crew is aligned, equipped, and building to the highest possible standard. Known for his calm, attentive leadership, he helps maintain job sites where clear communication and accountability are part of the daily rhythm.

Outside of work, Aiden makes the most of island life—whether it’s golfing, skiing, camping, or spending time with friends and family. His personal values of integrity and craftsmanship aren’t just part of the job; they show up in how he works, how he leads, and how he lives.

Austin may be early in his career, but he’s already proven to be a quick study with a sharp eye for detail. With a background in leadership, entrepreneurship, and hands-on problem solving—from managing a watersports facility to building wakeboarding obstacles—he brings a rare mix of precision, energy, and curiosity to every job site.

As a first-year apprentice, Austin supports journeymen and senior crew members throughout the build process, always eager to learn and ready to contribute. His mindset is simple: be thorough, work safely, and take pride in every cut. That mentality earned him early trust on a custom home build, where he took on precise soffit cuts with care, focus, and great results.

When he’s not on site, you’ll find Austin exploring the ancient world through books and documentaries, out wakeskating, practicing martial arts, or deep in a board game. A true learner at heart, he brings curiosity and enthusiasm into everything he does—on and off the tools.

Keri-Lyn has been part of Southall’s Construction since day one. With over 30 years of experience handling the company’s finances—everything from payroll and invoicing to GST returns and year-end reporting—she’s helped shape the operational foundation that allows the build teams to do what they do best.

Her background in banking made for a natural transition into managing the books, and her steady, team-focused mindset has made her a key part of the company’s evolution over the decades. Now stepping into an employee role after years of ownership, her commitment remains unchanged: do the job right, work well with others, and take pride in the work—whatever it is. Outside the office, Keri-Lyn enjoys tending her garden, sharing the harvest, and connecting with neighbors on her walks through the community (especially the four-legged ones). Her approach to life and work is the same—care, consistency, and a sense of connection

Al’s journey into construction started in high school, building a 1,200 sq ft rancher as part of a Grade 12 woodwork program. The experience stuck with him—but after graduation, he took a detour into banking before returning to the trade that first captured his attention. He began his carpentry apprenticeship in 1988, went out on his own by 1993, and has been building ever since.

With over 37 years in the industry, Al brings a wealth of knowledge across all areas of construction. He’s a Red Seal Journeyman Carpenter known for his ability to visualize complex builds, solve problems on the fly, and deliver work that’s honest, organized, and built to last. His strong faith and work ethic guide every project—treating each home as if it were his own.Outside of work, Al’s most at home on the water or in the mountains—waterskiing, ATVing, playing hockey, and spending time with family. Friendly, focused, and grounded in his values, he’s the kind of builder who leads by doing—and does it right.
