General contractors and tenant improvements
Restaurant fit-outs, retail builds and tenant improvements across Metro Vancouver. One subcontractor covering both the mechanical and the refrigeration, which is one less trade to coordinate and one less handoff to go wrong.
Where mechanical costs you schedule
-
Two subs, one ceiling
Refrigeration piping and HVAC ductwork competing for the same space, coordinated after the fact. Cheaper to have one party doing both.
-
Equipment that arrives late
Lead times on condensing units and boxes decide the critical path more often than labour does. Worth knowing early.
-
Commissioning that slips
A box that will not hold temperature at handover. Pull-down and proving take time that nobody allowed for.
-
Handover documents missing
Service records, equipment data and warranty paperwork chased after the fact.

Why contractors use us
- One sub, two trades. Mechanical and refrigeration under one scope, one schedule and one set of RFIs.
- Honest lead times. We will tell you when equipment is the critical path rather than discovering it at install.
- Commissioning allowed for. Pull-down and proving are scheduled, not assumed.
- Handover paperwork. Equipment data and service records delivered with the job, not chased afterwards.
Sizing before you price it
Running a budget on a box before the design is fixed? The load estimator publishes its coefficients so you can sanity-check a supplier figure.

Questions we get asked
Can you quote from drawings?
Yes. Call 672-762-7877 and tell us what you have — drawings, a spec, or just the equipment schedule — and we will tell you what we need to price it properly.
Do you handle equipment supply as well as install?
Usually, and on a fit-out it is often better that we do, because lead times tie directly to the schedule. Tell us what is specified.
Can you coordinate with our other trades?
Yes. Having the mechanical and refrigeration in one scope is precisely what removes the worst of the coordination.
Are you insured and WorkSafeBC registered?
Yes. Licensed and insured, WorkSafeBC registered, commercial general liability insurance. Certificates on request for prequalification.
