About US
Talbot Construction

Talbot Construction began in 1972 when Max and Tom Talbot combined their strengths to form a construction business rooted in family values and craftsmanship. Max led the sales effort while Tom managed every construction detail. With no budget for a bookkeeper, Max’s wife stepped in to handle the books. That decision kept operations tight and personal—an approach still reflected in the company today.

By 1977, steady growth led to full incorporation and the hiring of a dedicated office manager, who remained part of the team until she decided to retire in 2018. Before the office manager retired we hired Sabrina to take her place and has filled the position better than we could have ever expected. 1993, Tom brought in his son Joe to continue the family commitment to quality and care. Tom decided to retire in 2017 but stayed close to the company and has always been there for consulting. Now it was time for the fourth generation to step into the company to continue the family practice and quality. Joes son Cole has really filled the roll of onsite supervision and Construction. Over the decades, Talbot Construction has remained focused, keeping the business intentionally small to maintain oversight and ensure consistent results.

We treat each project with respect, managing it as if we were building our own homes. Every home tells a story—and we aim to help clients write the next chapter with spaces that feel purposeful and long-lasting.

Talbot Construction has served Vancouver for over 50 years with the same mission: to deliver exceptional craftsmanship, use high-quality materials, and ensure homeowners feel confident every step of the way.
