# RJR Design Build (RJR Construction Group)

RJR Design Build (RJR Construction Group) is an architect in Burnaby. Rated 5.0/5 from 3 public reviews across 1 review source. This is the MyTrustedTraders public-evidence profile for this contractor, with independent reviews, credentials and registry data from named public sources, no ads, and no paid placement.

Trust Score: 26 out of 100, with a caution: only 3 reviews held yet. A small public record keeps the evidence thin, and the score reflects that.

They state they've been established since 1978, but the earliest independent source we can find is 2021. Worth asking them about the gap.

## About
RJR Construction Group has concentrated its efforts on renovations and custom homes over the last 40+ years. RJR was incorporated in 1978 primarily to oversee and manage large commercial projects. In 1979, RJR was contracted to do its first major renovation project, a challenging and rewarding multiple conversion in Kitsilano. RJR is a member of the Greater Vancouver and the Canadian Home Builders’ Association and the North Vancouver Chamber of Commerce. They have been the recipients of both silver and gold provincial “Georgie” awards, national “Sam” awards and Heritage awards. RJR is qualified as a “Certified Renovation” (CR) company with a number of employees qualified as “Registered Renovation Professionals” (RRP’s). RJR offers a complete design build service and has staff on hand to work with clients from concept to completion. RJR is licensed and has worked through the plan checking and zoning systems in nine local municipalities. RJR is truly a “one stop shop” construction business.

## Before you hire an architect
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_
- Trade licensing in Canada is set by each province or territory. Electrical, gas and plumbing are licensed trades almost everywhere (for example ESA for electrical and TSSA for gas in Ontario), so check your provincial regulator that the contractor is certified for the work before you hire.
- A construction lien is a real risk: in every province an unpaid subcontractor or supplier can register a lien against your home even if you already paid the main contractor. Hold back the statutory amount (commonly around 10%) and get signed lien waivers as you pay.
- Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
- Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work, and that they are current.
- Get a written, itemized quote with scope, assumptions and a staged payment schedule.
