HR Pacific Construction Management Ltd.

What HR Pacific Construction Management Ltd. does

HR Pacific Construction Management Ltd. is a privately held, family-owned custom home builder and construction management firm headquartered in Golden, British Columbia, with satellite offices in Vancouver, Victoria, Revelstoke, and Invermere. Founded in 1998 by David Ratzlaff and now led by his four sons (Michael, Andrew, Chris, and Geoff), the company specializes in architecturally ambitious custom residences, boutique resort homes, and select commercial and multi-family projects across British Columbia's most demanding mountain and coastal environments. The firm's client base is concentrated in high-net-worth homeowners, resort property owners, and commercial developers engaged via direct relationships with leading architects and designers.

The company's core technology platform integrates Building Information Modeling (BIM), Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) Build, 3D modeling, mass timber construction (CLT, glulam, timber frame), off-site/modular fabrication, and just-in-time construction sequencing — capabilities developed over nearly two decades of model-based project delivery. These technologies enable precision execution in challenging sites with steep terrain, heavy snow loads, and short building seasons, and support award-winning projects such as the Kicking Horse Residence (AIA, CHBA Georgie, Wood Design awards) and the Blenheim Residence (Canada Wood Council Wood Works! Design Award).

HR Pacific generates revenue through construction management fees and general contractor margins on bespoke custom builds (one-time project contracts), supplemented by recurring post-construction home stewardship services for vacation and remote properties (digital documentation, warranty support, seasonal maintenance, remote oversight). Pricing is entirely custom and quote-based, with a 30-minute consultation as the primary sales touchpoint. The go-to-market is relationship-led and portfolio-driven, leveraging an award-winning project archive featured in Architectural Record, Dwell, Dezeen, ArchDaily, and Western Living, and partnerships with architectural firms such as Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple, DPO Architecture, North Architecture Studio, BattersbyHowat, and Oberto Oberti Architecture.
