Simon Druart, Co-Founder
Simon has always been inspired by sustainable initiatives. Growing up between Belgium and France, he was constantly confronted with the population density of Europe and the need for humans to start living sustainably as the population of the earth grows. He studied mechanical engineering and design in university, and worked in manufacturing and systems architecture while still in Europe. His passion for construction began in 2009 while traveling throughout Europe and gaining exposure to new and innovative sustainable building techniques and materials. He combined sustainability and construction by focusing his learning on eco-friendly materials and self-sufficient houses. He moved to Canada in 2016 and worked for a Passive House builder before starting his ambitious adventure with Thomas and Horizon Eco Builders. Since 2023 he is Project Manager Professional certified by PMI.
Thomas DuBoyce, Co-Founder
Born and raised in Montreal, Canada, Thomas arrived on the west coast in his early twenties looking for adventure and direction and quickly found carpentry as an outlet for his creativity and enthusiasm. He started his journey towards sustainable construction while working as a commercial framer in 2015 and getting a first hand view of how much material wastage is the norm in the construction industry. He began immersing himself in alternative building methods, and started working for a high efficiency/Passive House builder based in Vancouver. Thus began his crash course in cutting edge sustainable home construction and design culminating with the founding of Horizon Eco Builders in 2019. On this journey he has learned not to accept the status-quo in the building industry, but to constantly strive for more efficient and better solutions to common problems.
