About Us

About Rolling Tides Construction.

Rolling Tides Construction Inc. is a locally owned construction and development company serving coastal British Columbia. We specialize in single-family homes, residential construction, Missing Middle housing development, and commercial projects, delivering well-built spaces through a clear, professional, and accountable process.

Public-sector experience

In addition to private residential and commercial work, we have experience working within the public sector. Our team has delivered projects for government and institutional clients, including Defence Construction Canada, municipalities, and schools — requiring high levels of coordination, compliance, and documentation.

What we do

Our work includes custom single-family homes, renovations, small-scale residential development, and full construction project management. From early planning and permitting through active construction and final handover, we take a hands-on, detail-driven approach focused on clarity, quality, and long-term value.

How we work

Rooted in our coastal community, Rolling Tides Construction is committed to building spaces that serve people well — homes, facilities, and developments that are durable, functional, and thoughtfully executed.

Meet the Founders
behind Rolling Tides

Rolling Tides Construction Inc. was founded on a shared commitment to craftsmanship, people, and long-term vision.

Rolling Tides Construction Inc. was founded on a shared commitment to craftsmanship, people, and long-term vision.

More than 20 years into his entrepreneurial journey, founder Matt Rasmussen brings the same ambition, drive, and passion to the business as he did on day one. A natural team builder and culture crafter, Matt approaches construction the same way he approaches life outside of work — bringing people together around a common goal and building something meaningful through trust and collaboration.

Matt began his apprenticeship with Farmer Construction in his teens and is a Red Seal Carpenter, spending years on the tools in the residential sector. In the early days of Rolling Tides, he was deeply hands-on in every aspect of the work. While that foundation shaped how the company operates, his vision extended beyond individual projects. From the start, he saw the opportunity to build a company grounded in strong process, leadership, and long-term impact — not just construction.

That broader vision is where Lea Hazenboom has played a critical role. As a co-founder and early integrator of the business, Lea wore nearly every hat required to build Rolling Tides from the ground up — from administration, bookkeeping, and HR to working in the field as a labourer. Her deep understanding of the business formed the operational backbone that allowed the company to grow with intention.

While Rolling Tides began as a founder-led operation, it has since grown into a company supported by a dedicated team who carry these values forward. Today, Matt and Lea remain focused on leadership, direction, and stewardship of the business — ensuring the same standards, culture, and commitment that shaped the early years continue to guide the company as it evolves.
