Standards of Construction

Our Core Values

Karvin’s Core Values represent who we are and provide, without question, the standard of behaviour by which we conduct business. These values are the heart, soul, and character of Karvin.

Our Code of Conduct embodies the vision of our company founders and encompasses the values that have been, and will continue to be, vital
to the future success of the company.

Our Core Values represent how we treat our clients and one another, how we respond to our stakeholders, and how we hold one another and ourselves accountable.

This is the legacy we will leave for generations to come.
