“I have known and have worked with Front First Design for over 12 years. I first worked with Cecil Chan around 2008, when Front First was awarded the 18 West Hasting project. A very complicated job which could not have gone smoother. Front First is always on the list of my preferred trades and when I have them on my jobs, I know I don’t have to worry and Cecil and the team will make it happen. Always a pleasure to work with them and always a relief when they are our Millwork Trade. Thanks Front First for giving me such a good experience whenever I have had you on a job.”

“Front First has designed and produced the extensive custom millwork in our River Green Presentation Centres for nearly a decade. Whether it be panelling, casework or intricate structures, we continue to rely on Front First because of their exceptional quality, in-depth product knowledge and professional, timely service.”

“I have been working with Evan and his team at Front First for over five years. Every time I have worked with them or have referred them to a client, they have delivered far and beyond. Their attention to details is what always impresses me. I would always go to them - and recommend them - for top quality millwork.””

“Front First Designs Ltd. provided a complete solution of millwork, washroom partitions and lockers for the International Village Children’s Centre; a state of the art 9000sf daycare facility for 49 kids located in Gastown/Downtown Vancouver in the Firenze Towers complex (Abbott and Expo). It was a pleasure working with Cecil and his guys, as their timely service and high quality product went beyond our expectations. I would recommend Front First without a doubt to be part of your construction team.”
— Camilo Salamanca, Project Manager - Intertech Construction Managers Ltd.
“Maison D’etre Design-Build Inc has been working with Front First since 2005 on various projects which we have designed and built. During this time they have provided us with excellent service and support. In the role of General Contractor it is important that we have the confidence in our sub-contractors to provide us timely and quality product and services.
Front First is able to provide initial estimates based on drawings; meet with clients to refine needs and selections; create detailed drawings for the final cabinetry with updated estimates; create custom stains for wood cabinetry; and finally work with us on timing installations to work with other sub-contractors.
Finally the most important part of a relationship is the warranty - to this end Front First always makes it right – whatever that may be. Therefore in the end I have happy customers and that is the most important goal of all.”
— Rob Capar, Owner - Maison D'etre Design-Build
“We recently completed building a new home. As part of our build, we were introduced to Front First who helped us immensely with the customization. When designing our home, we had a number of ideas in mind that we wanted to incorporate. Wes helped us to define our ideas, identify and select the appropriate materials and make the necessary modifications so that the finished products always exceeded our expectations.
Additionally, although our primary contact was Wes Chan, we came to know several members of the Front First team. All of the individuals associated with Front First that visited our home were exceptional. As a result of their attention to detail, professionalism and desire to go the extra mile, we couldn’t be happier with the end result. We look forward to engaging them in future projects and would highly recommend them. ”
