MAJEED NIAZI

DIRECTOR OF CONSTRUCTION

For me, oversight is more than a responsibility—it’s a promise. Every decision we make, from the first stone laid in a hardscape to the strategy behind our latest marketing initiative, is guided by a single principle: the customer is at the center. It’s not enough to complete a project; I want every interaction, every detail, every moment to elevate your experience.

I’ve always believed that true craftsmanship isn’t just about building—it’s about creating experiences. That means strategically blending the latest methodologies with hands-on expertise, whether we’re designing a backyard oasis, installing a patio, or shaping the story of our brand. Every element is intentional, every choice purposeful, and every step is guided by a desire to create something exceptional.

My journey has taken me far and wide, shaping the way I lead and think about building. I founded and operated one of the largest colleges in Kabul, Afghanistan, fostering education and community on a grand scale. Later, I ran a hardscape business in Toronto, perfecting the craft of creating outdoor spaces that transform the way people live. These experiences taught me the power of vision, discipline, and putting people first—principles I bring to ElevationBuild every single day.

Yet, my life outside the office is just as important. I love spending time with my three incredible kids, whether we’re gliding across the ice skating rink or sharing quiet moments at home. Their laughter and curiosity remind me why every decision, every project, is worth pursuing with excellence and care.

Three amazing facts about me:

  • I founded and operated one of the largest colleges in Kabul, Afghanistan
  • My favorite way to spend time is ice skating with my three incredible children
  • Before ElevationBuild, I operated a hardscape business in Toronto, perfecting outdoor living experiences

MAX LEE

CHIEF FOREMaN

For Max, every day starts with the same pull—the chance to turn raw wood and open space into something that feels finished, intentional, and alive. Painting on a canvas built from wooden frames isn’t just work; it’s the craft that gets him out of bed each morning.

He leads a team of installers known for precision and pride—true craftsmen who believe sharp tools matter, both in hand and in mindset. No shortcuts. No dull edges. Every project is approached with the same care as the first one they ever took on.

Max believes a job isn’t complete when the contract is signed—it’s complete when the final nail is set and the homeowner steps back, surprised by how different their space feels. Expectations don’t end on paper, and neither does the effort.

There are no rigid job titles on his sites—only a shared commitment to do whatever it takes to make clients fall in love with their homes again. Transformation is the goal, and exceeding expectations is the standard.

“We don’t leave the job site until you’re fully satisfied with our work.”

ANDREW HILL

jv partner / TECHNOLOGY ARCHITECT

For Andrew, the drive begins with the challenge of converting complex data and fragmented processes into systems that are efficient, intuitive, and powerful. Building intelligent frameworks isn't just about the code; it’s about the craft of translating ambitious AI goals into operational realities that move the needle for large-scale organizations.

He leads a team focused on high-performance enterprise systems—architects of change who believe that precision in logic and strategy is the only way to build. No technical debt. No aimless experimentation. Every system is engineered with the same rigor required for mission-critical infrastructure.

Andrew believes a project isn't finished when the software is deployed—it’s finished when a leadership team sees measurable productivity gains and a clear competitive advantage. Success isn't found in a list of features, but in the moment a complex workflow finally feels seamless.

On his team, the focus is entirely on the objective: removing friction and driving nonlinear performance. Whether it is digitizing a field delivery cycle or deploying autonomous agent platforms, the standard is always a material business outcome that exceeds the original vision.

“We don’t just deploy technology; we partner with you to ensure AI becomes a sustainable part of your operational DNA.”
