Smili Dental

2024

This tenant improvement project transformed a retail space in an active mall from a shoe store into a fully functional dental office. The renovation was complex, with precise planning required to accommodate dental suction, water, medical gas lines, and specialized computer and x-ray equipment. This was the client’s second location and has since become a key part of their growing franchise. Marmot Builders worked closely with the client to efficiently manage their material specifications, ensuring cost savings and greater efficiency for future renovations.

Caribou Crossing Landlord Build

2024

Located in a newly developed industrial park, this strip mall was constructed for the landlord as a “for lease” commercial space. The project represented Phase 1A of a five-phase development. Marmot Builders played an integral role in pre-construction planning and design, offering valuable insights to enhance construction efficiency and keep the project within budget. The building features a conventional steel frame, an insulated metal panel envelope, and architectural overlays that give it a visually appealing finish. The project was so successful that three of the five units were leased even before construction was completed.

St. John’s Heritage Church Rehabilitation and Addition

2023

Situated at 125 1st Avenue in Burns Lake BC, the St. John’s Heritage Church holds a rich history. Its inaugural service took place in 1919 within a modest cabin on the premises. Over the subsequent decade, the church underwent a transformation, culminating in the structure we were entrusted to rehabilitate 94 years later.

Spruceland Baptist Church

2021 & 2023

Marmot Builders was initially contracted in 2021 to construct the walk-out foundation for Spruceland Baptist Church, utilizing insulated concrete formwork (ICF) to push the engineering limits of the material. In 2023, we were called back to complete both on-site and off-site work required for the development permit. This included subgrade and drainage work, as well as the construction of the asphalt parking lot and exterior concrete elements. The church was able to complete the remainder of the project through the generous support of donations and volunteers.

The elevator shaft was upgraded with a white faux brick façade and new signage. Despite the complexity of the work, the elevator modernization was expedited, with only four days of downtime required, while the hotel remained fully operational.

St. Thomas Renovation

2020

This comprehensive renovation involved expanding the single-family home with additions at
both the front and back. The project was carefully phased to allow the owners to continue
occupying parts of the home during construction. The additions featured a concrete foundation
at the rear, a single-story wood frame, and a screw-pile foundation at the main entrance,
supporting a grand new foyer. A highlight of the renovation was the custom kitchen, which
included a one-of-a-kind waterfall stone island.

Wendy's Central St. Prince George

We collaborated with the franchisee to meet all Wendy’s-specific standards and guidelines. This fast-tracked renovation involved coordinating multiple subcontractors to complete the project on a tight schedule. To min- imize disruptions, we installed temporary fire-rated partitions, allowing the kitchen and drive-thru to remain operational during the initial phases. The restaurant was only closed for two weeks of the three-month renova- tion, ensuring minimal downtime and maximum client satisfaction.
This 3,100-square-foot project included a complete remodel of the kitchen and dining areas, the addition of a manager’s office, and minor renovations and repairs throughout the interior and exterior.
