Working as a Warranty Manager for this company has been an incredibly rewarding experience. Managing warranty operations across many sites in multiple provinces has allowed me to grow both professionally and personally while working alongside a knowledgeable and hardworking team.

A typical day involves coordinating with homeowners, trades, site teams, and property management to ensure deficiencies and warranty-related concerns are addressed efficiently and professionally. Every day is different — from reviewing reports and scheduling repairs to navigating complex homeowner concerns and ensuring service standards are maintained across several active communities.

One of the biggest things I’ve learned in this role is how important communication, organization, and problem-solving are in the construction industry. Managing multiple projects across different provinces has strengthened my ability to prioritize, adapt quickly, and build strong working relationships with both internal teams and homeowners.

Management has always encouraged accountability, teamwork, and professional growth. There is a strong sense of support throughout the company, and leadership recognizes the importance of maintaining quality workmanship and positive homeowner experiences.

The workplace culture is fast-paced, collaborative, and team-oriented. One of the best parts of working here is the people. My coworkers truly make the job enjoyable — they are lovely, fun, and incredibly helpful people who are always smiling and always willing to lend a hand whenever needed. You develop genuine friendships here, which makes even the busiest days more enjoyable and rewarding.

The hardest part of the job is balancing urgent homeowner concerns, tight timelines, and the coordination of multiple trades across different regions. It can be demanding at times, but it has taught me resilience, patience, and how to stay solution-focused under pressure.

The most enjoyable part of the job is seeing issues resolved successfully and knowing homeowners feel heard and supported. It’s rewarding to play a role in protecting the homeowner experience long after occupancy and to contribute to the overall reputation and success of the company.

Interesting work mix that is not just the traditional accounting & financial reporting role. Projects are in various stages of development and staff are encouraged to pursue individual growth and excellence and keep up with updates to the real estate industry and how it impacts their projects. Group lunch & learns to cover real estate topics, from planning legislation updates to podcasts with industry leaders. ELM is a small team (approx team of 20 on site) so there is a lot of collaboration between the departments; able to ask questions and receive support from different members of the team and everyone is friendly. Management is in office and approachable.

Given the nature and time sensitivity of the industry, the work is fast paced with several ad hoc items on top of the monthly scheduled tasks, dependent on live updates from the projects. Work is challenging and there's always something new. Hours are slightly longer than 9-5 during peak (i.e. month-end & year-end close) but reasonable (40 - 50hrs/ week). 

 Overall, a good place to work.

ELM gave me my first chance to prove what I could achieve after graduating. Days are never easy but they are usually fun and casual with support from team members every step of the way. Management is driven and expectations are high. Learning curves are inevitable but good results are mandatory at the end of any challenge. Nobody is going to micro manage you and you should know that there is always something that needs to be followed up with.

The office is fast paced, organized, clean, and can be loud. The office has a lounge that is always full of snacks and drinks for staff and very nice coffee machines. Management is tough but fair. Everyone looks after each other. It is a place where you can challenge yourself and learn something new every day, while also having fun with team members and dress casually. No project is ever the same, the work is never stale. Overall, a good place to work.  

Every day is a blend of commitment, accountability/responsibility, and genuine fun. The bar is set high and we have a small, flat team so everyone matters. I've touched projects across the country, learned more in months than elsewhere in years, and am empowered to innovate, improve processes, and collaborate across departments. We're working to scale up and improve how we operate so this is absolutely the place to be if you have an eye for detail, love personal development, and want to join a close-knit team.

Started at ELM in 2013 because of an interest in property management. Learned lifelong skills and made lifelong friends. As property management, I was on a mission to keep tenants happy and building expenses down. Flat organization with lots of opportunities to talk to senior leadership. Would still be there but had to leave to support my family business. Best of luck to anyone here. 

I truly loved working here.  Wonderful work environment.  Super collaborative teams. Learned a lot! Had many opportunities to work cross-functionally. 
It's a second family to me, and will always be!

Thank you for everything. 

Hanging ceiling, cutting and rolling paint.
Hanging doors and cabinetry.
Dapping, mudding and sanding.
General clean up of the construction site.

Everything was straight forward never had any problems and everyday was a great place to work.

The hardest part is processing everything on time, there is always a lot to do and oftentimes I have to do extra hours. However the environment is very friendly and colleagues are helpful. 

ELM is a highly inclusive work environment that pushes me to grow and develop, not only professionally, but personally as well. Management successfully retains and fosters top notch talent.

Not worth it at all. I do no enjoy it. They are a family-based company and are racist. They are very strong in their culture and do not welcome anyone on board.
