What Our Clients Are Saying

In the senior living business, the proposition of carrying out a major construction project in and around an operating residence brings thoughts of great anxiety and tension. The professionalism and extra mile that the VPAC team took to ensure the safety of our residents during construction made the project go extremely smoothly. VPAC was awarded sprinkler installations and renovations in one of our larger communities in Vancouver. Their attention to detail and expertise coupled with their collaborative and innovative spirit made them the experts for this significant project. They were organized, communicative, detail-oriented, and always open to feedback, making our business relationship both effortless and pleasant. We continue to work as partners with VPAC and I would highly recommend them to anyone who wishes to undergo projects in the future.
Sienna Senior LivingJoe Kappel
Senior Director, Facilities Management
We worked with the VPAC team on our Parc Riviera project, a premium collection of 98 multi-family homes on the Fraser waterfront. By finding creative ways to value engineer that resulted in time savings and reduced costs, their role as construction managers made the build process seamless and effortless. I look forward to working with them again and would recommend them without hesitation.
