In British Columbia’s fast-moving commercial and industrial construction market, choosing the right general contractor is essential to delivering a successful project. Prism Construction has been at the forefront of general contracting in BC for more than 25 years, providing expert oversight, reliable coordination, and exceptional quality from ground breaking to final turnover.
As a partner of choice for hundreds of commercial developments, Prism Construction brings together the people, processes, and performance needed to meet today’s demands. In this article we explore how our general contracting services deliver peace of mind, on-time results, and long-term value for developers and business owners throughout BC.
A general contractor (GC) is responsible for managing the overall construction process on behalf of the project owner. This includes supervising subcontractors, managing materials, scheduling, ensuring safety compliance, and maintaining quality throughout each phase of the build.
When Prism Construction acts as a general contractor, we are the central point of contact between the client, design team, suppliers, and trade partners. Our role is to ensure that every part of the construction process is aligned, coordinated, and executed to the highest standard.
Construction methods are evolving, but general contracting remains a cornerstone of successful project delivery. In British Columbia, where zoning, permitting, and weather conditions can vary greatly between regions, a local and experienced GC like Prism brings key advantages.
Local Knowledge: Familiarity with municipal building departments and regional construction challenges.
Established Trade Networks: Strong relationships with qualified subcontractors ensure competitive pricing and skilled execution.
Risk Mitigation: Effective contract administration and problem-solving reduce the risk of delays and cost overruns.
Dedicated site supervision maintains consistent workmanship and adherence to code.
With over two billion dollars in construction completed across BC, Prism Construction offers general contracting services that meet the unique demands of the province’s diverse industries and geographies.
The right general contractor does more than manage trades. At Prism Construction, we build long-term value by focusing on durable materials and efficient methods. We protect your budget with transparent accounting and early cost certainty. We maintain your reputation by ensuring work is professional and code-compliant. We deliver peace of mind with experienced leadership and a proven track record.
Prism has completed over 600 projects, with many repeat clients. Our experience spans a wide range of sectors, including self-storage facilities, automotive dealerships, warehouse and logistics centers, food processing and storage, multi-tenant business parks, hotel and hospitality developments, and mixed-use and multi-unit buildings.
Each project type requires a tailored approach to scheduling, permitting, and construction. As a GC, Prism adapts to the project’s unique requirements while maintaining firm control over cost and timeline.
Every project we manage is built on trust, transparency, and technical excellence. Our approach includes pre-construction coordination, where we review drawings, budgets, and timelines, identifying potential challenges and proposing practical solutions.
We handle subcontractor management by pre-qualifying all trade partners and negotiating competitive, scope-aligned contracts.
Site supervision and quality assurance are key to our process. Our site supervisors ensure construction activities are performed safely, efficiently, and to spec.
We also emphasize schedule and cost control, maintaining clear timelines and proactively managing cost reporting to avoid surprises.
By integrating advanced project management software and open communication, we keep clients informed and confident throughout the build.
Prism Construction is COR-certified by the BC Construction Safety Alliance. We maintain a safety-first culture across every job site with dedicated health and safety supervisors, daily site inspections and compliance reporting, and full adherence to Occupational Health and Safety Regulations.
