- Project Overview
A Big-Box Grocery Renovation in Chilliwack
This project was an interior renovation of a Canadian Superstore location in Chilliwack, delivered for a major BC general contractor. Big-box retail renovations demand fast, well-coordinated work, often around store operations or a tight closure window, with durable assemblies and clean ceilings across a large open footprint.
"One subcontract covered both the drywall and acoustic ceiling scope. Fewer trades for the GC to coordinate, faster delivery for the client."
Paragon Drywall delivered the framing, boarding, finishing, and suspended T-bar ceiling scope. We were selected on competitive pricing and the ability to carry both the drywall and acoustic ceiling scope together, reducing the number of subcontractors the GC had to coordinate on a schedule-driven retail job.
