AEC Contracting & Renovations is a general contracting and construction management company based in Kelowna, BC. Since forming almost 15 years as an estimating and consulting company, they have continuously grown and evolved in terms of both size and service offering. Today, they provide a wide range of construction services and take on a variety of projects – but no matter what they are building, they take the same relationship-centred approach. “We’re a company based on building relationships,” says Brandon Knorr, owner and operator. “Creating a bond and long lasting confidence with our client is key. We choose a personal approach. Getting to know our clients’ values is important, and it’s equally important that our client know our values.” AEC’s values include integrity, trust, and community. According to Brandon, that means the company is committed to upholding “the highest level of personal morals and professional ethics,” to building relationships “through honesty and respect,” and to helping build their communities – both by physically contributing to structures, and by giving back through sports sponsorships and charitable donations. Brandon says that these values have been motivating the company from the start. Actually, he says they predate AEC Contracting & Renovations – he’s actually a third generation contractor in the Okanagan, and these are the values that were passed down from his grandfather and father. “I come from a family of builders,” he says. “When our family decided to settle here in Kelowna, many of them got into residential construction, and the majority of their sons entered the industry.” Brandon, for his part, was “born and raised in construction,” and has been working on homes APRIL 2024
