ABOUT BOUWEN CONSTRUCTION INC.
We believe in doing construction right, the first time. Our approach? Simple: total transparency from beginning to end. We will keep you in the loop every step of the way, and ensure we do not gloss over any important information from materials to process to scope and everything in between.
Our mission is to help you craft a space that you love from every angle; whether that is an office space that makes going to work enjoyable, or a bathroom that enhances your nighttime routine – we are here to turn your construction dreams into reality.
We get it— the construction industry has a bit of a bad rap sometimes. But we are motivated to change people’s perceptions with each project we undertake. We believe construction can be done with honesty and integrity, and we are dedicated to proving that to our clients.
Basically? We want to ensure that your construction journey is enjoyable from beginning to end. Here is how we do it...
WHAT SETS US APART
EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION
When we entered the industry, we recognized a significant communication gap within the contracting sector. Our clients often shared their frustrations about poor communication they experienced with previous contractors, which is precisely why we prioritize and emphasize strong communication practices at Bouwen Construction.
TRANSPARENCY
While honest and transparent pricing may not seem flashy at the project’s outset, it is the most vital. We genuinely have our client’s best interests in mind, providing a clear understanding of all costs and potential over-runs before breaking ground. We value education to ensure you have enough information to make informed decisions before those decisions become… irreversible.
ATTENTION TO DETAIL
We believe that the magic lies in the details. From understanding the impact of the selection of materials and finishes to the precision of measurements and craftsmanship, we obsess over the details to ensure high-quality results.
ACCOUNTABILITY
We take full responsibility for our work, holding ourselves accountable to deliver on our promises. We adhere to project timelines, manage budgets diligently, and maintain the highest standards of professionalism and integrity. If any challenges arise along the way, we proactively address them, keep you informed and work towards timely solutions.

Project consulting is the right choice when:
→ You need assistance in setting goals, developing project plans, and making informed decisions in the early stages of planning
→ You're seeking creative construction solutions, recommendations for materials, or specialized knowledge when it comes to your specific project
→ You have some previous experience in carrying out home renovation or construction projects
-
→ You're seeking expertise in day-to-day project management, including scheduling, budgeting, and quality control
→ Your project requires physical construction tasks such as framing, electrical work, plumbing, and finishing
→ You want the assurance of warranties on labor and materials for peace of mind and quality assurance
-
Consider scheduling the project during the time away from home or designate a specific "safe zone" area. Additionally, consider moving out and ensure you have set realistic expectations because renovations and construction do cause disruption.

Select materials appropriate for intended use, consider maintenance and budget, prioritize functionality, and consult with a professional contractor for expert advice.
