Burnaby, British Columbia

Growth Partnership · Construction

You built a $3M construction company with your hands. Let's build it to $15M with systems.

For BC general contractors and construction companies ready to scale revenue, land commercial contracts, and build a business that runs without the owner on every site.

A growth partnership for construction company owners who are ready for the next order of magnitude.

This is not a consulting engagement

We embed our team in your Burnaby construction business and execute — performance-aligned.

Most Burnaby construction companies are built on the owner's reputation, relationships, and relentless personal effort. Getting to $2M–$5M in revenue is achievable through hustle. Getting to $10M–$20M requires something fundamentally different: a marketing engine that generates commercial pipeline, an operations system that doesn't require the owner to manage every subcontractor, and a financial infrastructure that supports bonding capacity and contract growth. We partner with Burnaby construction company owners who are ready to make that transition.

Is your Burnaby construction business ready?

We partner selectively with businesses that have genuine growth potential. Here are the signals we look for:

Revenue between $2M and $20M, primarily residential or small commercial, with strong project delivery reputation
Winning work on relationships and referrals alone — no active business development program
No digital presence beyond a basic website — winning commercial bids requires credibility markers you don't currently have
Owner managing estimating, project management, client relationships, and operations personally
Subcontractor relationships strong but supplier terms and bonding capacity constraining growth
Commercial and strata contract opportunities visible but no infrastructure to pursue them

What's holding most Burnaby construction businesses back

These are the patterns we see repeatedly in businesses that have the potential but not yet the systems:

No commercial pipeline — all revenue is residential or repeat referral
No estimating or bid system — everything is manual and owner-dependent
Safety program and certifications not at the level required for larger contracts
Website doesn't establish commercial credibility — no case studies, certifications, or project portfolio
No relationship with architects, developers, or property managers who award commercial work
Financial reporting not structured for bonding applications or LOC negotiations

What transformation looks like

A Burnaby construction business, 12–18 months into a growth partnership

A Burnaby renovation contractor had been at $3.5M in annual revenue for three years — fully booked, fully stressed, fully dependent on the owner for everything. The commercial work they wanted was invisible to them. Eighteen months into a growth partnership: the website was rebuilt with project case studies and safety certifications, a commercial outreach program landed two strata contracts totalling $1.8M, a project manager was hired to take site oversight off the owner, and estimating was systematised with software. Revenue crossed $6.2M. The owner worked fewer hours.

60–90 days to first commercial pipeline movement; 18 months to full commercial division operational

Frequently asked questions

How do you help construction companies win commercial contracts?

We build the credibility infrastructure first: case studies, safety certifications, insurance documentation, and references in the formats commercial owners require. Then we build the pipeline: a target list of Burnaby developers, property managers, and strata corporations, an outreach program, and a systematic follow-up process. Commercial sales cycles are long — 6–18 months — but the contracts are transformational.

Can you help with the operational side, not just marketing?

Yes — this is where we differentiate from marketing agencies. We address project management systems, estimating software, subcontractor management, and financial reporting. Marketing generates the leads; operations delivers them profitably. We work on both.

What certifications do BC construction companies need for commercial work?

In Burnaby and BC, commercial contracts often require COR (Certificate of Recognition) safety certification, Avetta or ISNetworld registration for corporate clients, WCB good standing, and sometimes BC Hydro or BC Infrastructure contractor pre-qualification. We audit your current certification status and build a gap-closure roadmap as part of the engagement.
