“There is no doubt in my mind that the Britco-built accommodations in the Whistler Athletes’ Village are a designed and made-in-BC product that will make all Canadians proud. When VANOC sought a way to deliver an innovative Olympic Legacy Affordable Housing project, we turned to Britco. From start to finish, the flexibility and creativity of the Britco team was key to making this extraordinary legacy project a reality. Throughout both of these landmark projects, Britco not only consistently met important project milestones, but also, during one of the most challenging construction pricing environments in a generation, delivered the final product under budget. Britco’s modular manufacturing approach to building construction incorporates sustainable and environmentally-friendly construction techniques which helped VANOC build a sustainable legacy well beyond the 2010 Games.”

“The specifications for this facility called for 20 bedrooms to be soundproof and the building had to be constructed on an extremely tight timeline. The building was opened on time and completed within budget which is extremely significant as a number of unexpected site challenges, most notably ground stability, had to be overcome. I must say that through their diligence, the Britco staff came up with very efficient, feasible solutions and they were in constant communication so everyone involved knew the status of the project at all times. Most importantly, the workmanship is beyond reproach.”

“The people at Britco made the project seem effortless allowing me to spend more time away from the job site.” Gene Lamoureux Better By Design “Even though the building is temporary, it has a permanent look and feel to it.

“Skyway utilizes Britco office trailers in many remote areas of the Alberta Oil Sands. Logistics of delivery and the harsh climate in which these trailers operate in can present challenges. Every unit we have ordered has been delivered to oursites accurately and on schedule. Additionally, the performance of the site trailers has exceeded that of other models we have tried.”
Paul Chiasson

“Thanks for all your help with the purchase of the washcar and trailers to provide temporary dressing rooms for our new hockey arena. We are extremely pleased with your willingness to negotiate and provide what we were searching for. Your input and patience was very much appreciated. The installation crew was very professional and I was also very pleased with the speed and simplicity of the placing and securing of the trailers.”
Tom Sprado

“Thanks a lot for all the work you did for us to get the additional trailer delivered. Sorry for the short notice but you pulled it off for us, good thing with the snow coming. I really appreciate the extra effort you have put in to keep us in office space and we look forward to doing business with you in the future.”

“Our engineering staff is delighted with new office and the space functions very well for our group of fourteen staff members. The skylights over the central meeting area were an excellent suggestion for providing natural light in the interior space. We find the HVAC system is efficient and very quiet. It is so quiet that one of our engineers complained that the fan on his hard drive was too noisy – he had never heard it before!”
Ellen Specht

“We placed an order for a temporary Office Complex with a very aggressive delivery schedule. The complex was built to our specifications and delivered in less than four months. Britco was there at every turn to ensure the unit was built to our satisfaction and the quality of work and attention to detail was very impressive. The professionalism, high standards and work ethics of the final assembly staff was commendable as well.”
Bryce Short

“The Britco double modular worked better than we had expected in providing us with temporary office space to work from but, more importantly, it was the timely and professional effort you and your crew put in to help put the office in place as well as take it away. As you well know, we worked under very tight time constraints and I am pleased to say you were able to do everything we asked of you.”

“This sales centre was designed to be used at another site after this development is complete. The relocatability and reusability is a great benefit to us.”
