General Contractors
Richmond general contractor headquartered on Horseshoe Way, with a second office in Nanaimo. Project types include new construction, renovations, heritage restoration and work delivered for First Nations clients around British Columbia.
Heritage restoration is the line on this contractor's list that tells you the most. Matching old assemblies, working within conservation requirements, and sequencing a job where you cannot simply demolish whatever is in the way are all specialist disciplines, and firms that take them on are usually set up for institutional and commercial work rather than a kitchen refit. Heatherbrae also covers new construction, renovations, and projects delivered for First Nations clients around British Columbia, with a second office in Nanaimo covering the island.
Set your expectations to that scale before you call. If you want a bathroom redone, a company structured for multi-site delivery is probably not the right fit and a smaller renovation outfit will serve you better. If you are a strata council facing a building envelope job, a church or society planning a rebuild, or an organisation with a heritage structure to deal with, this is the tier you should be talking to.
Ask for references on projects of similar type and size, ask who your day-to-day site contact would be, and get the schedule in writing. Any contractor at this level should have straightforward answers to all three, and the ones who hesitate on the second question are telling you something. Horseshoe Way is a working street in Ironwood, a loop of light-industrial units and contractor yards at the southeast edge of the city where a good share of Richmond's trades are actually based. There is no showroom out there and no reason to drop in on a Saturday. You go to an office like this for a meeting about a project.
In the Ironwood neighbourhood of Richmond.
