Building Metro Vancouver, from tenant improvements to multifamily.
One accountable general contractor for multifamily and townhouse construction, residential and commercial renovations, and tenant improvements, from the first site visit to handover.
One accountable contractor, whatever you’re building
Metrotech Construction Ltd. is a Vancouver-based general contractor serving developers, property owners, landlords and property managers across Metro Vancouver.
We build multifamily and townhouse projects, renovate residential and commercial buildings and deliver tenant improvements. That includes work in occupied and heritage buildings, where every step has to be planned around the people who use them.
Developers
Multifamily and townhouse construction with pre-construction planning, cost control and one accountable team through to handover.
Owners & landlords
Renovations, spec suites and lease-expiry restorations that get your space ready to use, lease or sell.
Property managers
One contractor for suite turnovers, common areas and building upgrades, scheduled around tenants and building rules.
Businesses
Tenant improvements that turn raw or dated space into a finished workplace, ready for your move-in date.
We build inside occupied offices, tenanted floors and Vancouver’s heritage towers.
Many projects happen in buildings that can’t close. We plan the work around tenants, access, noise restrictions and operating hours, and protect heritage fabric along the way.

Why Metrotech
What you get with Metrotech
Your project is not handed down after award.
The engineer who prices your project manages it through construction, deficiencies and closeout.
Engineer-led, start to finish
Every project is led by a professional engineer (P.Eng.) and certified Project Management Professional (PMP), directly involved from estimating and subcontractor selection through coordination, changes, deficiencies and closeout.
Built for occupied buildings
Work planned around tenants, access, noise restrictions and operating hours, so your building keeps running while we build.
Cost & change control
Constructability review, scope clarification and documented pricing before any additional work proceeds, so you approve costs before they’re committed.
Heritage know-how
Experience in heritage-designated towers and century-old warehouses, protecting original fabric and structure while upgrading systems and finishes.
Large-project discipline
Planning, scheduling and cost-control practices from major commercial developments, applied to every project, from a single suite to a multifamily building.
Complete closeout
Deficiencies, warranties and closeout documentation are treated as part of the project, not an afterthought.
How we deliver
A clear process from site visit to handover
01
Site visit & scope
We walk the site with you, confirm what you need and flag constraints early: access, occupants or neighbours, building rules and any heritage elements.
02
Estimate & pricing
A constructability review and a clearly defined scope, followed by documented pricing, so you know what’s included before work starts.
03
Trades & schedule
Qualified subtrades selected and scheduled around your site, the people using it and your target completion date.
04
Build & coordinate
Hands-on coordination on site, with any change priced in writing and approved before it proceeds.
05
Closeout & handover
Deficiencies completed, warranties and closeout documents delivered, and the space handed over ready to use.

FAQ
Questions we often hear
Don’t see your question? Call 604-353-3168 or send us a note.
Multifamily and townhouse construction, residential and commercial renovations, and tenant improvements, from a single suite to a complete building. We also take on building and common-area upgrades, and electrical, plumbing and mechanical work.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, it’s our specialty. We plan the work around tenants, access, noise restrictions and operating hours. Every project in our portfolio was delivered in a building that stayed open and tenanted.
Do you work in heritage buildings?
Yes. Recent projects include a City of Vancouver heritage-designated tower and a 1905 Gastown warehouse, where we protected heritage fabric and retained the original heavy-timber structure.
Can you work to a fixed completion date?
Yes. Fixed dates are common in our work, from tenant turnovers and lease expiries to move-ins. We plan trades, deliveries and approvals around your date from the start.
How do you handle changes and extra costs?
Any additional work goes through a constructability review and is priced in writing before it proceeds, so you approve costs before they’re committed.
Do you handle electrical, plumbing, mechanical and sprinkler work?
Yes. We deliver electrical, plumbing and mechanical upgrades or modifications, including sprinkler modifications, as part of a larger project or on their own.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Metrotech holds a City of Vancouver licence (CGC #26-218256), carries $5M commercial general liability insurance, and is registered with WorkSafeBC and in good standing.
