General Construction
A full general contractor, wherever BC builds.
From commercial renovations in the Lower Mainland to ground-up builds in coastal and remote interior communities, with our own HVAC, carpentry and finishing crews on site.
What we do
Lower Mainland and remote BC
Groen is a full general contractor in the Lower Mainland, but most of our GC work is in coastal and remote interior communities, where planning, logistics and a self-reliant crew make the difference.
We work on many BC Housing job sites and with government and public-sector clients, and many of our community projects are delivered in collaboration with BC Housing and First Nations housing authorities.
Ground-up new builds
Community buildings, housing, childcare and emergency services facilities.
Renovations & revitalization
Commercial renovations and bringing older homes back into service.
Clean room build-outs
Controlled environments built out together with their mechanical systems.
Our own trades
HVAC, carpentry and finishing, windows and doors, done by our crews.
Our remote specialty
We handle the logistics.
Remote work is won or lost before the first crew arrives. Groen arranges the barging, trucking, material handling, flights, ferries and crew housing so the project stays on schedule.
Logistics
Barging, trucking, air freight and material handling, timed to keep the site supplied.
Flights & ferries
Crew travel planned around site needs and weather.
Crew housing
Accommodation arranged within the community.
Hiring
Skilled trades recruited Canada-wide, working alongside local community members on their own community's projects.
