What Align Construction Ltd does

Align Construction Ltd is a privately held commercial general contractor and construction manager headquartered in New Westminster, British Columbia, serving the Greater Vancouver and BC Lower Mainland market. Founded in 2013 by Anthony Duhs (originally from Australia, with a construction management degree from the University of New South Wales and prior commercial construction experience in Australia) and Scott Lussier (a BC local with 30+ years of commercial construction experience and Red Seal Carpentry credentials), the company delivers three core service lines: General Contracting, Design & Build, and Construction Management. These are applied across five industry verticals: Grocery, Café & Restaurant, Commercial & Industrial, Retail, and New Build Construction. Notable enterprise project work spans 25,000 to 130,000 square feet and includes grocery chains (No Frills, Real Canadian Superstore, FreshCo, Safeway, T&T Supermarket, City Market), food service (Starbucks, Burgoo, Bento Sushi), industrial (Sunrise Soya tofu facility, Fraser Street tilt-up warehouse), retail (Leon's Furniture, Joe Fresh), fitness (Altea Active), and specialty facilities (Unilia hydrogen fuel cell lab, Rothewood Academy childcare).

The business operates a relationship-driven, direct client engagement model with no external institutional investors, public listing, or disclosed funding. Revenue is generated on a project-by-project basis through negotiated or bid general contracting and construction management engagements. GTM motion is enterprise field sales anchored on direct client relationships, repeat-client referrals, and an extensive portfolio of completed work; marketing is minimal, relying primarily on the company website as a portfolio showcase. The firm differentiates on its 24-hour active-store construction capability for grocery retailers, a custom OH&S program exceeding regulatory requirements, and a stated customer-oriented approach focused on minimizing operational disruption during construction. Pricing is project-specific and not publicly disclosed.

The organization is structured as a privately held founder-led firm with no parent company, no subsidiaries, no disclosed M&A activity, and no formal partnerships or alliances. The in-house leadership spans co-founders, a Controller (CPA/CGA), a Director of Construction, an Operations Manager, an HR Manager, project managers, estimators, senior site superintendents, and accounting/administrative staff. The company is actively operating with ongoing projects, has not raised institutional capital, and shows no exposure to AI/ML-based differentiation — its competitive position rests on personnel experience, vertical specialization (notably grocery and food production), and regional reputation in the BC Lower Mainland commercial construction market.
