Simplified Process from Initial Concept to Completion A one-stop shop for prelease, design, and build services
get in touchAs a full-service design-build company, we don’t just build great spaces, we build trusting relationships throughout Greater Vancouver and Western Canada. In our 30+ years we have perfected what it takes to be your single point of contact for your project:
• A team approach
• Efficient processes
• Use of technology
Our in-house designers and construction project managers make it easy for clients to stay informed about their tenant improvement projects. This method allows us to complete projects on time, on budget with the highest standards and quality.
We are one of the few firms in Vancouver with a complete in-house team, from designers to construction managers. We streamline the entire process with efficient client communication, high-tech interior design tools, and construction schedule & budget management.
We use state of the art technology, including 3D renderings and virtual reality software allowing you to ‘walk through’ your space before we even build it! If you can dream it, we can build it. Not every client would want an airplane in their space, but we made that happen! Dare to dream big, and then bring that dream to us.
By offering pre-lease services like zoning assessments and space planning, we plan for your company's long term growth. We build the space with quality at the forefront. Great design is visually interesting, thoughtful, functional, and built to last.
30+ years and 1200+ clients tells its own story. It is a wealth of experience in the industry, experience you can trust to complete your space on time and on budget.
We are so proud of the composition of our team and the quality of education of each member. Mostly local talent, with some talent from other parts of the world, they really understand both local and international aesthetics.
