Mick Graham | Growth. Adventure. Infill.

Starting as a labourer during the summer in high school, Mick Graham has always believed that construction was his calling. From working as a framing carpenter to building with heavy timbers to managing multiple multi-family sites for production builders, Mick's experience is vast and varied. Mick Graham started Singletree Builders in 2012 because he realized that many of Edmonton's mature neighbourhoods needed rejuvenation.  Over the years he has discovered the challenges of negotiating the City's complicated andfrustrating zoning bylaws and of managing neighbours who don't necessarily welcome new construction on their street. He joined the Infill Development in Edmonton Association (IDEA) to help the City create better legislation in order to make mature neighbourhoods healthier and more diverse.Mick has recently joined Hibco Construction as the General Manager of their Residential Division.
