Michael Manning

Michael graduated from a three-year diploma course in Architectural Technology from Algonquin College in Ottawa in 1979. Shortly after, he moved to Calgary where he worked for three years in condominium development, reaching the level of Site Superintendent. Eventually, he moved to a division of the commercial construction giant PCL as a Site Foreman. In 1983, he began to do renovations on single-family residences in addition to his commercial work.

In 1986, he relocated to Toronto, received his carpenter's licence, and rejoined PCL working on very large commercial developments including Scotia Plaza and Waterfront Place.

In 1991 he decided to focus on finish carpentry and started Suntech Renovations. Over time, the size and scale of Suntech’s projects have increased. In 2007, Mike began building custom homes in the $2 million range.

In 2008 Michael co-founded Greenbilt Homes as a sister company to Suntech in order to fulfill his dream of working in the best interests of the environment while helping people to build a comfortable home that expresses their values. Through his experience in Greenbilt, Suntech now offers green renovations and energy efficient home retrofits.

Mike is a native of Timmins, Ontario.
