General Contractors
Richmond construction and development company on No. 5 Road, handling commercial projects alongside residential builds. A long-standing Richmond Chamber and Canadian Home Builders' Association member working mainly in Richmond and the Lower Mainland.
No. 5 Road runs down the eastern side of Richmond, past the row of temples, churches and mosques people call the Highway to Heaven, and on into industrial and agricultural land. Contractors, suppliers and trades cluster along that edge because the yards and the units are there and the land still costs less than anything near the corridor. Sandhill Development works from an address on that road, handling commercial projects alongside residential builds across Richmond and the wider Lower Mainland.
Choosing a contractor is mostly an exercise in confirming that a company is real, insured, and likely to still exist when the warranty period matters. Trade association membership guarantees nothing on its own. What it does indicate is a registered business that other businesses can find and complain to, which is a lower bar than it sounds and one a surprising number of operators fail to clear. Check the license, check the insurance, and ask for references on projects of comparable size and type.
Local experience counts for more in this city than it does in most. Richmond sits on delta silt, the water table is high, and the ground rules for foundations, drainage and seismic requirements here are not the rules that apply on the North Shore. A builder who works Richmond regularly knows what the city's building department will ask for and has already had the preload and settlement conversation a dozen times. That shortens permitting, and permitting time is money in a way that surprises people the first time they build here.
In the Ironwood neighbourhood of Richmond.

Longer reads from the editor, with the places worth a detour linked inside them.
The Night Market's final season is the loud story. The quieter one: free admission at the Cannery ends Monday, Britannia keeps summer hours through Sunday, and Steveston does sunsets better than anyone.

Nothing on Alexandra Road is a secret. It is just in a strip mall with bad signage and no patio, which is why visitors never find it. Here is how I actually use Richmond's plazas and food courts, which specialists are worth the drive, and when not to bother.

The West Dyke Trail is about five and a half kilometres of flat gravel between Terra Nova Rural Park and Garry Point, and I ride it most mornings. Here is what is actually at the north end, which way to walk so the wind is on your side, and why winter is the better season for it.
