Vancouver Commercial Contractors
Commercial Tenant Improvements. Done Better.
Transparent Contracting delivers tenant improvements for retail stores, offices, dental clinics and medical spaces across Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. With most trades handled in-house, we maintain greater control over timelines, quality and every detail of the build.
20+ Years of
Professional Experience
More Trades In-House.
More Control at Every Stage.
Commercial tenant improvements become harder to manage when every stage depends on a different subcontractor. Transparent Contracting keeps most trades in-house, giving us greater control over scheduling, workmanship and communication throughout the project.
Tighter Coordination
Fewer outside contractors means less waiting between trades and a more organized build.
Consistent Quality
One team and one standard of workmanship from the early stages through final finishing.

Client Reviews
What Clients Remember After the Build.
“Our mall manager was on us daily about noise rules and the handover deadline. These guys handled the permits, worked nights when needed, and we actually opened on time. Can’t ask for much more.”
“Nightmare avoided. Our previous contractor had our plumbing trades blaming the drywallers for weeks. Transparent had their own crew on it, sorted the chair lines without issues, and kept the timeline straight.”
“Straight shooters. Quote was accurate, no random invoices halfway through, and they actually showed up every morning instead of disappearing for three days. The boardroom millwork looks sharp.”
“Hard to find trades who actually clean up after themselves and don't tie up the freight elevators all morning. Smooth build-out, passed inspections first pass, zero strata complaints.”

Have a specific build-out in mind?
Send over your floor plans or timeline targets. We’ll review the scope and give you an honest breakdown.
How does having in-house trades benefit our commercial build-out timeline?
Subcontractor delays cause most commercial project slips. Because our key trades are internal, we control daily scheduling, run tasks concurrently, and prevent costly rent-carrying delays.
Do you coordinate with mall management and strata rules?
Yes. We handle tenant criteria manuals, after-hours work permits, elevator bookings, and base-building tie-ins for shopping centres and commercial towers across Metro Vancouver.
Do you manage municipal permits and inspections?
Yes. We coordinate commercial building permits and municipal inspections across Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, and surrounding cities through to your final occupancy permit.
Can you handle specialized dental and medical clinic fit-outs?
Yes. We manage medical gas lines, dental chair utility rough-ins, lead shielding for X-ray rooms, clinical acoustics, and infection-control standards.
How do you keep pricing transparent and prevent cost overruns?
We inspect mechanical, plumbing, and electrical systems during our initial walkthrough to catch hidden issues early. Any requested changes are priced and approved before work begins.
