Specialties
Crana Construction Inc. is a Vancouver-based, licensed and insured building contractor founded by brothers Michael and John Gill. We specialize in custom homes, full home renovations, and commercial construction — including tenant improvements, heritage home restorations, and structural work like house lifts and additions.
Our portfolio includes projects at Bentall 6, Shaw Tower, and a community housing project completed with Tsleil-Waututh Nation. We're registered with BC Housing and proud members of HAVAN and CHBA.
What sets us apart: we're hands-on and founder-led. Michael and John are personally involved in every project, and we take on a limited number of builds each year so every client gets direct access to the people actually building their home.
History
Established in 2016.
Established in 2016, Crana Construction was founded by brothers Michael and John Gill, who grew up around the trades and built the company on hands-on experience, quality craftsmanship, and honest relationships. What began with residential renovations across Metro Vancouver has grown into a full-service construction company specializing in custom homes, major renovations, structural upgrades, heritage restorations, house lifts, and commercial construction. Over the years, we’ve completed projects for homeowners, developers, and organizations throughout the Lower Mainland, including Bentall 6, Shaw Tower, and a community housing project with the Tsleil-Waututh Nation. Nearly a decade later, Michael and John remain personally involved in every project, ensuring clients receive expert guidance, clear communication, and exceptional workmanship from start to finish.
