About Solaris

Quality homes from a quality team.

History

building better since 1986.

Ross Manning founded the Solaris Group of Companies in 2014. Rocky Los joined shortly after. Their experienced team provides a full suite of construction services to commercial and residential clients. But that’s not where it all started.

When you work with Solaris, you work with industry veterans and expert builders. For 35 years Ross and Rocky have worked together on a number of residential and commercial projects. Ross worked in the commercial and industrial sectors until moving to the Okanagan in 2007 to focus on custom homes. Rocky also moved to British Columbia so the two could focus their efforts on providing quality custom homes to the interior B.C. area.

In 2018 Solaris garnered critical acclaim for the renovation of Time Winery in Penticton. The Winery won both the Award for Excellence in Wood (a Solaris specialty), as well as the Award of Merit for Winery Excellence at the 10th Annual Thompson Okanagan Kootenay Commercial Building Awards.
