From Builder to Visionary Leader
Mani’s leadership journey began in 2002 when he founded Good Earth Builders, a company built on quality, sustainability, and people-first values.
Under his leadership, the company evolved from residential construction to large-scale multi-family and commercial projects, earning recognition for its craftsmanship and community-driven approach.
As his vision expanded, so did his ventures — spanning education, real estate investment, and media production — each guided by the same principles of integrity, innovation, and inclusivity.
Usman Bashir “Mani” begins his professional journey in Canada’s construction industry.
Drawing inspiration from his family’s deep roots in development, he founds Good Earth Builders — a company built on the values of integrity, craftsmanship, and sustainable growth.
From day one, Mani’s vision is clear: to build not just structures, but trust.
Recognizing the potential in diversification, Mani launches U.K. Investors Ltd, a venture designed to explore strategic real estate and business investments.
This marks his first step toward becoming a multi-sector entrepreneur — someone capable of identifying opportunities across industries.
Through consistent quality and ethical business practices, Mani establishes Good Earth Builders as a reliable name in Alberta’s construction scene.
The company earns recognition for completing challenging residential and commercial projects, each reflecting Mani’s personal attention to detail and his belief in doing things the right way.
Driven by a passion for community upliftment, Mani founds TCI Schools & College.
His mission: to make education accessible and skills training relevant to the next generation.
This milestone reflects his evolving vision — from building homes to building futures.
Mani is honored with the Asian Entrepreneur Award for his innovation and leadership in real estate development.
This recognition validates his years of dedication to excellence and reinforces his growing influence across the Canadian business community.
Mani earns the Eco-Friendly Builder Award, celebrating his dedication to green construction and environmentally responsible design.
By this time, Good Earth Builders is recognized for creating homes and communities that blend modern architecture with environmental consciousness.
After two decades of steady growth, Mani expands Good Earth Builders into multi-family residential development — responding to the rising demand for sustainable, community-centered housing.
This year also marks the founding of Valore Realty Investment Co. and Kim’s Media Production, signaling a new phase of entrepreneurial diversity.
“2023 wasn’t just about expansion — it was about evolution. It was about seeing the bigger picture.”
With over 190+ multi-family units under construction, Mani’s focus turns toward urban development and innovation.
He emphasizes designing spaces that connect people and strengthen communities, while maintaining the same commitment to quality that shaped his career from the start.
Today, Usman “Mani” Bashir stands as a symbol of perseverance, vision, and leadership.
His journey — from a young immigrant to a respected builder and mentor — continues to inspire those around him.
Through every venture, Mani’s guiding principle remains the same:
“True success is measured by how many lives you uplift along the way.”
