KW regional GC exemplars (use as reference, not prospects): Pioneer Craftsmen, Melloul-Blamey, CHART Home

Three KW-region exemplars Candid should reference (not pursue):

• Pioneer Craftsmen (pioneercraftsmen.com) — Webflow build, clean and modern. WRHBA SAM awards, 148+ reviews, 5-year warranty. CTA: "Project Planning Questionnaire" — a paid discovery step that doubles as qualification filter. Publishes "design fee is 5% of project budget; we don't give free quotes." Rare in residential and worth showing prospects as a reference. (Caveat: no HCRA # or Tarion # visible.)
• Melloul-Blamey (melloul.com) — custom build. Project portfolio categorized by sector and location. COR™ certification date stated explicitly (since 2013). LEED Platinum. Strong fit-out content for ICI buyers. Weakness: autoplay YouTube hero video taxes mobile bandwidth.
• CHART Home (charthome.ca) — Statamic-based, fast, content-driven. 5-year warranty surfaced. Cleanest post-rebrand execution in regional residential.

Pattern: the regional exemplars all run on modern lightweight platforms (Webflow, Statamic, custom) — exactly the stack RULE: Default stack for new marketing-site work is Astro 5/6 + Tailwind v4 on Cloudflare Pages advocates against page-builders for.

Use: build a Candid reference page "Three KW GC sites that get trust signals right, and what we learned from each." Mentioning competitors honestly builds credibility faster than self-promotion.
