About Us

Our approach today is the same as it was 35 years ago: quality, commitment and integrity creates projects and partnerships that last decades. This was the mindset of our founders who started our company all those years ago, and it continues to drive how we work decades later.

From humble builder to forward-thinking construction partner, we’ve always been focused on moving our legacy forward through hands-on mentorship and, more recently, our Bosa Construction Legacy Scholarship to support future leaders in the trades.

Today, Bosa Construction collaborates with owners, consultants, and trades to construct residential, commercial, and institutional developments throughout the Lower Mainland, always with safety top of mind and backed by our COR safety certification. Some of our notable projects include Tesoro, North Harbour, Emerson, Axis – and many more to come.
