Construction trades and labour for Vancouver developments

JF West Coast supplies construction manpower to developers and general contractors across Metro Vancouver. We provide carpenters, equipment operators, skilled labourers, concrete crews, renovation crews and painters, booked for a day, a phase or the full build.

One call for every trade on the schedule

Most building schedules have a moment when a trade comes up short. A framing crew loses two carpenters, a pour needs four more hands, or the painters fall behind with handover booked. Each of those costs days if you have to find people yourself.

We keep a workforce of experienced trades and labourers ready for exactly those moments. Tell us what you need and when. We match people who have done that work before, confirm names with you and get them to your site ready to start.

Our crews work on multi-family, podium, commercial and renovation projects across Metro Vancouver. They take direction from your superintendent and follow your safety program, and they stay as long as the work lasts.

Trades at every stage of the build

From excavation and concrete through framing, finishing and handover, our crews cover each phase of a development, so you work with one supplier the whole way.

How a crew request works

One call or one form. Here is what happens after you send it.

  1. Step 01

    Send the request

    Trade, headcount, site address, start date and how long you need them. A call or the online form both work.

  2. Step 02

    We match the crew

    We pick workers who have done that work before and hold the tickets your site requires, then confirm names with you.

  3. Step 03

    Crew shows up ready

    Workers arrive on time with PPE, check in with your super and start on your scope.

  4. Step 04

    Adjust as you go

    Add hands for a pour, drop down when a phase ends or swap a worker. One call to the office handles it.
