The Journey of HKC Construction from Humble Beginnings to Industry Leaders

At the heart of HKC Construction lies a story of passion, collaboration, and relentless dedication. Founded in 2013, our journey began when two driven individuals—one with a lifelong love for construction and another with a talent for organization—came together to build something extraordinary.

Rooted in Passion and Partnership
HKC Construction started with a powerful partnership. Co-founder Helen Mentis, a former high school teacher, transitioned to managing operations, while the other, a seasoned tradesperson, brought decades of hands-on expertise in custom home building. What began as a small family-run venture quickly grew into a trusted name across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Within just five years, HKC Construction had serviced over 100 buildings, earning a reputation for exceptional craftsmanship, meticulous attention to detail, and customer-first service.

Quality and Care That Stand the Test of Time
From day one, HKC Construction prioritized delivering work that property managers and clients could rely on. Our commitment to quality and personalized service became the cornerstone of our growth, fostering long-term relationships and repeat business. Even as we expanded, these core values remained unchanged proving that success is built not just on skill, but on trust, integrity, and a relentless focus on client satisfaction.

A Team-Driven Vision
Today, HKC Construction is more than a family business; we’re a dynamic collective of 20+ passionate professionals and a network of partners nationwide. Our founders often emphasize that our team’s dedication and drive are what elevate us to new heights. “We couldn’t do this alone,” they say, highlighting a culture focused on daily improvement, collaboration, and resilience. Every team member is empowered to grow, innovate, and contribute to our shared mission of redefining excellence in construction.
