Curatist Studio has worked on designing 3 projects over the last 2 years with ANR – 2 salons and a large bowling alley.

ANR’s code knowledge greatly helped during our design phase meetings with the clients. Restaurant clients always want to maximize seating in the smallest space possible. During our initial space planning meeting ANR made note of a new code changing egress paths to 1500mm from the 1200mm in the previous code. Thankfully this was done early in the planning, so the client did not have the expectations of a higher occupant load.

On the smaller salon projects ANR was able to aid on the building permit applications. This made our job much easier. After the plan review ANR returned the drawings to use so we could update the, into IFC drawings. Many GC’s overlook this step and when the final is called on a project there are outstanding issues.

Working with ANR has proven to be an asset to the design process with industry knowledge that aids in the execution of a well designed project – I look forward to working with them again in the future.

ANR Construction Ltd based in Kelowna, B.C. were engaged in September 2019 to undertake the build out of a franchise beauty boutique in Saskatoon, SK. The work was completed on time and on budget and was always professionally managed. They engaged local sub-contractors to perform most of the construction work and utilized local business when required. They interacted wit h myself, as owner, in a professional manner and kept me up to date with progress on the project. I was encouraged to be “involved” in the day to day progress so that issues could be settled promptly without incurring any delays. A final inspection was per formed with ANR’s onsite Project Supervisor at the conclusion of the build out and any sub-standard or incomplete work was promptly attended to so that the project was completed to a high standard. A few minor design and finishing issues that were only noted after the final inspection were also brought to ANR’s attention after completion and they were promptly remedied to ensure my satisfaction. I would thoroughly recommend ANR Construction Limited as a trusted and professional Contractor who are focused on providing a high standard of work as well as ensuring complete customer satisfaction.

Hillman AV has worked on over 50 different projects with ANR Construction across 2 different types of clients, retail and restaurants.

Their ability to plan and execute fast paced, demanding projects like restaurants is an example of their management skills. Our common clients had evolving brands which always kept us inventing ways to maintain timelines.

Our experience with ANR has been positive. They take feedback and listen to our needs so we can make quick work of our scope. We have been hired through the client and not directly by ANR, but they always made us part of the team. ANR held weekly site projection meetings and kept in contact even when we were not on the site.

ANR’s site supervisors have always been knowledgeable of our scope of work which I’m sure is translated down from their PM’s. When we need something rushed, they try their best to accommodate even though we are not one of their subtrade’s. Always a treat working with their staff.
