With over 1,000 employees and a
15-year track record of successful
projects in British Columbia, Crystal
Consulting Group of Companies (CCI)
is a trusted partner for large complex
projects within British and Alberta
and has established a reputation for
building excellence.
Specializing in high-rise and multi-
unit residential and commercial pro-
jects, the privately held family
company offers drywall, steel stud
framing and waterproofing services,
and it just finished putting the final
touches on the Telus Sky Building in
Calgary, a 761,235 sq. ft. 59-storey of-
fice and mixed-use tower. Crystal is
also working on The Concord tower.
Big projects aren’t anything new to
Crystal. Currently it is in the finishing
stages of work on Vancouver House,
the fourth-tallest building in Vancou-
ver. When completed, Vancouver
House will be a nine-storey podium,
widening into the prominent 515 foot
residential tower.
“Vancouver House itself has been
a very unique job because of the way
the building is designed and struc-
tured. It has posed a lot of chal-
lenges, for sure, but as the project
nears completion, CCI has been
working very closely with all the
trades and the developer to ensure
the project has the highest quality
labour and materials available within
the timelines that were specified.
There are some very unique features
within the building that will stand out
for a long time” says Crystal execu-
tive vice-president Harj Dhaliwal.
Other well-known B.C. projects
Crystal has been a part of include The
Met, the Rogers Arena Tower, Con-
cord Gardens, and The Peak at SFU.
CCI has become a top choice for
developers because the company
offers great quality, very competitive
pricing, fast speeds and solid
reliability. “Once we commit to doing a job in
a timeline, we come in on budget
and on time” says Dhaliwal.
The company’s growth is organic,
and has mainly occurred through
word of mouth from satisfied clients.
According to Dhaliwal, in a few
months the company could even be

bigger, with a larger workforce.
Crystal is proud of its employees,
and the employees have shown a
great deal of trust and loyalty by stay-
ing with the company for the long
term.“People who come to work for
us typically don’t leave. They stay
with us. A number of people who
started with us 15 years ago are still
with us, as evidenced by the 15-year
plaques we gave out at the last
Christmas party.”
