Amson Group

AMSON GROUP “We’ve been in the construction industry for quite some time, and we’ve built some long- lasting relationships with subcontractors,” Hardeep says. “We have a regular team that we use over and over again. They’re well aware of the high standards that we expect, and they’re well prepared to meet those expectations. They know how important quality is at Amson.” “Some of our subcontractors have grown alongside us,” he adds. “We were working with them when we were doing single family homes 15 years ago. Now that we’re taking on larger projects, so are they.” Hardeep also credits Amson’s success to the designers and architects theyworkwith, whom tend to share their values. “What we try to create with all our projects a sense of luxury,” Hardeep explains. “But at the same time, we know that it’s quite difficult to afford a home here in B.C. So one of the key things we look for in our architectural firms is an ability to balance luxury with affordability.” On Amson Square, for example, Amson Group worked with DF Architecture, a vibrant Vancouver firm known for their large urban design projects. Amson partnered with them in 2016, when they were an up- and-coming firm with a rising reputation. “We knew they would create something striking and contemporary,” Hardeep says. “That’s what they’ve done. They’ve done a wonderful job.” In particular, Hardeep praises the project’s namesake ‘squares,’ which DF Architecture designed. Those are large frames that cantilever off the side of the building, which will be built with ACM panels. Hardeep says that element will really help the building to stand out in the region. “It’s going to be a pretty unique building,” he says. “You won’t see too many buildings like this south of the Fraser River.”
