Industrial Construction Done Right: Prism’s Scalable Solutions Across BC

Industrial construction is the backbone of British Columbia’s economy. From manufacturing plants and processing facilities to distribution centres and service yards, these projects demand precision, scale, and compliance at every level. Prism Construction has built a reputation as one of BC’s most reliable industrial construction contractors, delivering large-scale, high-performance facilities for more than 25 years.

With over 600 completed projects and $2 billion in total construction value, Prism supports industrial clients across the province with end-to-end construction services tailored to operational and regulatory requirements.

The Unique Demands of Industrial Construction

Industrial projects are not just large, they are complex. Every component must be designed for load, access, process flow, and long-term reliability.

Common Requirements in Industrial Builds

  • Reinforced concrete slabs for heavy equipment 
  • High-clearance ceilings and clear spans 
  • Heavy-duty mechanical and electrical systems 
  • Fire suppression and ventilation 
  • High-capacity loading and unloading areas 
  • Secure perimeters and access control 
  • Environmental compliance and zoning approval 

These factors make industrial construction a discipline that requires technical expertise and a contractor who can manage schedule, cost, and compliance in unison.

  • Warehouses and distribution centers 
  • Food processing and cold storage facilities
