Construction context
Richmond's construction market is shaped by its active commercial retail corridors, significant food service industry, and a mix of newer residential construction and older single-family renovation work. The City of Richmond permit office has been one of the more efficient in Metro Vancouver for turnaround. Residential renovation work is strong across Steveston, Broadmoor, and the west side, while commercial build-out demand is concentrated in the Aberdeen and City Centre retail and restaurant corridors.
