Committed to Safety and Excellence

Darwin is proud to be COR® Certified by WorkSafeBC, a nationally recognized accreditation that reflects our commitment to the highest standards of workplace health and safety.

The Certificate of Recognition (COR®) is awarded to employers who implement and maintain a comprehensive Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) that goes beyond regulatory requirements. Built on a continuous “Plan, Do, Check, Act” cycle, COR® certification demonstrates our dedication to creating safe and healthy work environments for our teams, partners and communities.

Achieving COR® reinforces our belief that a safe workplace is a strong workplace, and allows us to:

Demonstrate leadership and accountability in protecting the wellbeing of every person on our sites.
Strengthen our competitive edge, meeting prequalification requirements for major projects and attracting top talent.
Deliver tangible results, including safer job sites, fewer incidents and potential financial savings through reduced injury claims and WorkSafeBC premium incentives.

This certification underscores Darwin’s proactive approach to safety, not just meeting standards, but exceeding them. It’s one more way we’re committed to building for tomorrow.

Founders

From Darwin's roots as a construction company founded by David Webbe in 1987, we've grown into a company that also develops new communities under the direction of Oliver Webbe, the family’s second generation. Our unique mix of construction and development expertise makes us a valued partner in residential and commercial projects of every kind. Since the beginning, the story of Darwin has been told through the integrity of our actions, our straightforward approach to business, and our relationships with the communities in which we work. We are committed to being a valued member of communities and to playing our part in making them stronger now and for future generations.

From the founders

"When I started Darwin, my goal was to create a company which treated both its employees and its clients in a manner which reflected how I would like to be treated.

Since 1987, we have successfully built homes, community centres, shopping centres, libraries, office buildings, schools, restaurants and hotels in municipalities throughout British Columbia. Along the way, we have been able to achieve our original goal, building countless long-term client relationships and a reputation for being able to deliver excellent quality, in a fair and reliable manner."

- David Webbe

"I love the North Shore and I am proud to call it home. We have been personally and financially invested in the North Shore community since our company was founded here in 1987. We care about retaining and enhancing the lifestyle that makes it so special.

Our expertise in both Construction and Development, and our ability to develop and build exceptional projects, gives us the ability to delivery on this."
