AHC successfully completed a tenant improvement (TI) project for an A&W restaurant located in the food court at The Amazing Brentwood Mall. The location presented several unique construction challenges: the restaurant was situated on the second floor, directly above an operating retail clothing store, requiring careful coordination to avoid disruption to the tenant below.

The project demanded detailed planning to address a range of logistical and technical constraints, including material deliveries through a busy mall environment, restricted working hours, concrete coring, and mechanical requirements. Despite these challenges, AHC successfully navigated the complexities of the site and delivered an excellent finished result.

This project involved a two-storey interior addition featuring a multipurpose classroom and meeting room on the first floor, with dedicated office space and a lounge area on the second floor. The addition was designed to provide functional, versatile spaces supporting the organization’s administrative, educational, and meeting needs.

The scope of work included extensive scanning, cutting, and excavation, along with substantial q-decking, rebar, and structural steel installation. Major framing work was completed to accommodate the new design. A key challenge was the concrete pour: AHC brought the concrete truck inside the building to achieve a smooth, efficient pour. The team also removed the old loading bay, leveled the area, installed new asphalt, and transformed it into a new reception area for building users. Typical electrical work included new lighting fixtures, mechanical upgrades were completed, and skylights were added to bring additional natural light to the mezzanine. A full re-roofing of the entire building rounded out the scope.

Construction included new interior partitions and ceilings, architectural finishes, foodservice areas, millwork and casework, kitchen infrastructure, mechanical and plumbing systems, HVAC modifications, electrical and lighting, equipment rough-ins, and coordination of restaurant-specific fixtures and equipment. Exterior work included modifications to the drive-thru operation, signage and equipment, along with associated site and concrete work at the pickup window and order station.

The scope of work also included new finishes throughout the space, encompassing floor tile, FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastic) wall panels, kitchen equipment, furniture, and updated signage. As GC, AHC coordinated all trades and suppliers to ensure each element aligned with both brands’ operational requirements and design standards, delivering a cohesive dual-branded environment that supports the distinct needs of A&W and Tim Hortons under one roof.

Working in a live, high-traffic international terminal, AHC successfully delivered project management and logistical support for three PRET projects at Vancouver International Airport (YVR), spanning Pier A/B, Pier C, and Pier D, including the first standalone Pret location in B.C. and the first at a Canadian airport. Providing ongoing logistical and coordination support across all three project locations, AHC helped ensure activities progressed in line with established schedules. The team coordinated multiple vendors, equipment suppliers, and stakeholders to ensure the timely delivery, distribution, and availability of all required equipment and materials.
These projects demanded tight coordination between construction activities, vendor deliveries, and airport operations, all while maintaining safety and minimizing disruption to travellers and tenants. AHC’s role in managing equipment logistics and multi-stakeholder coordination was instrumental in keeping each project on track and seamlessly integrated into the active terminal environment.

This project involved the renovation of the steam room at the YMCA Robert Lee facility, requiring specialized installation methods and detailed coordination to achieve a high-quality finished space.
The scope included complex curved wall construction and the installation of a Schluter waterproofing and tile system, requiring precise detailing and workmanship to accommodate the unique geometry and performance requirements of a steam room environment. Successful execution required close coordination among multiple trades and project stakeholders to ensure proper integration of the specialized systems, maintain quality standards, and deliver a durable, watertight finish.

The Bonsor Complex Re-Roofing project involves the complete removal of the existing roof, benches, and organic/irrigation systems, followed by installation of a new, durable roofing system. The scope includes necessary concrete repairs to ensure structural integrity and construction of new stairs for improved accessibility and safety. The project will enhance the building’s weatherproofing, longevity, and functionality while adhering to all local building codes and regulations.

Construction is completed while the Bonsor Complex remains fully operational, with emergency egress maintained throughout.

As Construction Manager, AHC successfully delivered a building addition (1,700 sq ft) and TI renovation (14,300 sq ft) for JD Sports’ first Canadian flagship, a landmark store on Vancouver’s Robson Street and the company’s first street-front location in the country.

The scope of work included structural expansion, full interior buildout, and extensive mechanical and electrical system upgrades tailored for a high-traffic retail environment. Key features included a modernized open retail floor plan, integrated lighting and electrical systems to support advanced merchandising displays, and upgraded mechanical systems designed for energy efficiency and occupant comfort.

Designed to engage and inspire, the space delivers an immersive retail experience — from its double-height shopfront and digital portal entrance to signature shop-in-shops for Nike, New Balance, and Adidas, and a high-energy atmosphere supported by upgraded sound and digital systems throughout. AHC coordinated all phases of construction to align with the client’s branding vision, while ensuring quality, durability, and code compliance throughout the project.

Delivered as part of JD Sports’ broader North American growth strategy (with 17 additional Canadian stores planned by the end of 2026) the flagship stands as a testament to what coordinated, brand-aligned construction management can achieve.

Alfred Horie Construction Co. Ltd. proudly completed a City of Burnaby Public Art Collection project featuring a Coast Salish design by Chase Gray, repeated along the pathway stretching between the Burnaby Art Gallery and Deer Lake. The design is sandblasted along the full length of the walking path, incorporating infrastructure elements such as manholes.

AHC created custom stencils from specialty materials engineered to withstand the sandblasting process, then successfully sandblasted the area to reproduce the Coast Salish design along the full path length, carefully working around and integrating existing infrastructure such as manholes into the finished artwork.

The work also included coordination of existing underground services, requiring AHC to expose and verify the locations and elevations of all existing services prior to construction. Existing lawn drains in the grasscrete were removed, perforated pipes flushed, and grate elevations adjusted to accommodate the new concrete walkway, with barrels replaced and grates and perforated drains retained. Grates were adjusted to 30 mm below finished grade in regraded areas, with concrete troweled for a smooth transition to the lawn basin.

Alfred Horie Construction Co. Ltd. delivered an interior renovation refresh at Coastal Church in New Westminster, working closely with the church and campus pastor Payam Jalali to provide this upgrade.

Located in a historic building, the project refreshed the Sanctuary, multipurpose room, washrooms, and hallway, with fresh paint, new flooring, new plumbing and lighting fixtures, safe railings, and other targeted improvements throughout.
