Meet Zenon Build
We are a full-service, self-performing Integrated Design Build contractor, specializing in designing and installing all aspects of mechanical and electrical systems. Our capabilities include design build, design assist and pre-construction.
By integrating the design and build portions of the construction process, our innovative approach allows for increased design and construction efficiency, reduced costs, and enhanced project resilience.
Our Story
Based out of the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island, and with over 100 cumulative years of design and installation experience, we partner with industry leaders to provide the highest quality of mechanical and electrical design build services for a wide range of project types.
Our work is rooted in trust, guided by a commitment to nurture people and partnerships, and driven by a desire to inspire meaningful change across the industry. Ultimately, we aim to touch, move, and inspire people — through the way we build, the way we lead, and the way we collaborate.
Our Values
01
Trust
The foundation of every relationship. We do what we say we will do — with integrity, transparency, and accountability. Trust connects our teams, strengthens our partnerships, and drives long-term success. It’s the invisible structure behind every building we complete - and the emotion that allows our work to truly touch and move people.
02
Nurture
We grow people as we grow buildings. Progress begins with care — for our people, our partners, and our planet. We invest in mentorship, shared learning, and well-being across every level of our organization. Our shared services model ensures that when one company or individual grows, we all grow together - moving people forward through shared purpose.
03
Inspire
We build to make a difference. We challenge convention, embrace change, and lead through creativity and curiosity. From digital innovation to sustainable design, we push boundaries to create environments that improve lives and inspire those who experience them — in both function and feeling.
