“We are so happy we had Rick Mettler and his crew build our home at Nicola Lake. Every time we go up there, we have to pinch ourselves to realize its not a dream. From our very basic plans, he created a place of beauty. It was a pleasure to work with him through every stage of the project, and all his crew are pleasant, knowledgable, and professional.
The worksite was always immaculate, and now, seven years later, it’s a happy, lived-in home, but still looks and feels brand new. Rick always delivered exactly what he said he would do in a timely fashion, and has continued to be available for any minor details that crop up. We would highly recommend Mettler Construction and if you would like more details, feel free to contact us.”

“I highly recommend Mettler Construction for quality work done in a timely and cost effective manner. Having built four homes, I can honestly say Rick Mettler is as reliable as contractors come.”
Colin Rothery
“Rick and his team are true craftsmen who do high quality work and focus on all the details from start to finish. Rick guided us through the building process and made the whole experience a real pleasure. Our home was finished on time, on budget and the quality of finish exceeded expectations. Do yourself a favour and choose Rick!”
Simon Koch
“Being from outside the country, we had no contacts in the Merritt area and thus when introduced to Mettler Construction as the “Best builders in the World” we were naturally sceptical. Dealing with Rick Mettler, his crew and all of the sub contractors was an absolute pleasure from beginning to end and exceeded all our expectations. We are eternally grateful for their hard work, dedication, friendliness and absolute professionalism. A frequent comment we get from visitors is “ Wow, this house is beautifully built!”

“We first met Rick Mettler approximately 10 years ago while planning the building of our cabin on Nicola Lake. Rick worked tirelessly with us and with our architect to ensure that the building process was seamless. Rick and his crew are hard working, keep a clean safe work site and are always available to answer any questions. Rick has an amazing sense of design and has an innate ability to understand what will fit with the homeowner’s lifestyle.
We love our home and are so thankful to have had Rick build it. Rick has also helped us design and build subsequent projects at our Nicola Lake cabin. These projects were also completed with the same care and attention to detail for which Mettler Construction is known. Thank you Rick Mettler for building us a home to be proud of!”
Rob and Krys Hunter
“We are fortunate to have had Rick Mettler/Mettler Construction build our retirement home during 2014/2015.
Rick is very organized and managed the process from the initial arranging of the building permit through to completion and the issuance of the occupancy certificate. He did all this while we continued to reside in Edmonton.
We were kept up to date on the progress via email, pictures, and telephone calls with Rick coordinating the timeliness of our visits to the site with introductions to suppliers and key trades ensuring both a productive and meaningful use of time.
Qualities we appreciated ranged from a realistic budget; to timely delivery of building supplies and on site work by the trades; good rapport and discussions with the engineering firm and our architect; and the fact that Rick offered opinions and suggestions which proved helpful.
The home is everything we hoped for and we never fail to comment how pleased we are with Rick and his key employees who did a great job throughout, including the finishing carpentry.
Thanks Rick to you and your first rate crew.”
