The Constructo Group Story

Constructo Group team at work

In 2003, Stephen Lentz, a seasoned construction expert, established Constructo Group. This general contracting company specializes in a wide spectrum of home renovations and additions in Victoria, BC Canada.

Now, Constructo Group is officially a Licensed Residential Builder (#55931). After collaborating on three garden suites with Owner-Builders - and thoroughly enjoying the process - we decided to take the next step. We completed the required training, submitted our experience credentials, and passed the exam.

From minor repairs to major additions and upscale renovations, and now garden suites, your project is carried out with competence and care. Our versatility stems from our commitment to meeting our customer's diverse needs.

Our Commitment

We are dedicated to bringing your vision to life, providing considered insights on how to best accomplish your objectives - in addition to constructing it. Our method includes:

  • Respecting the fact that our esteemed customers are crucial to our success.
  • Hiring individuals who are fervent about their work.
  • Constantly improving our process of delivery.

Testimonials

What our clients say

"Your attention to detail is exemplary."

Derek Crawford
Architect

"Stephen and his team at Constructo Group have been a pleasure to work with, from the first phone call to the last walk-through. The quality of the work is excellent — the basement looks fantastic and they nimbly solved some tricky head-room problems — but we were equally impressed with how easy and pleasant the team were to work with — good-hearted and respectful. Stephen emphasizes good communication, and it shows, and it makes a difference."

"Many thanks and appreciation for all the excellent work your team did to our new home!"

Philip Symons & Marya Nijland

"Thank you again for the lovely work installing our rental suite. The tenant (and us) loves how it came out!"

Mike Russo
Secondary suite

"From my perspective, The Constructo Group is the dream team when renovations of any sort are planned. There are reasons I am a Constructo Group repeat client—several of them, in fact! The first is that Stephen Lentz is a man of integrity, as are all the members of his crew, so there‘s no fear of shoddy workmanship, unexplained extra costs, or being left in the lurch with a job half done. Both Stephen and Geoff are resourceful men of imagination, capable of finding solutions for the problems that crop up in construction; both keep up-to-date with current construction laws and with the latest home décor trends. Planning is a strong point: required permits are obtained, inspections arranged; materials are ordered in a timely fashion so projects aren‘t delayed. The crew arrives punctually, members communicate with civility, work well together. The work site is cleaned on a daily basis. Billing is detailed. Renovations Stephen undertook in 2020, including the installation of a barrier-less shower in our ensuite bathroom, enabled my husband to remain in our home; Stephen‘s experience installing aids for the disabled was a blessing for us both. Constructo Group remains my go-to renovation team, and I recommend them with confidence."

Repeat client

"Thank you for accommodating our needs, meeting our timelines and making costs doable. You have done everything possible to enable a high quality job."

Board of Directors of VSIE
Commercial renovation

"As a renovation contractor they cover the range of Great Vision, Intent Listening and Crisis Management; sometimes one aspect is needed, often two and rarely three. No matter the case, it's great to have Constructo Group to work with."

FUCV Worship Committee
Commercial client

"Competent, Creative, Connected. Master crafter are words to describe every person involved in every Constructo Group project. Constructo Group is creative in the approach to each opportunity presented because Stephen Lentz understands that renovations are a unique aspect in the construction industry. Constructo Group values the connection to each person in each project. A vast array of communication tools are used to engage and connect to each living thing. Constructo Group is a valuable option when one is embarking on the journey of a renovation."

Lou Lentz

"The new bathroom layout and level entry shower are perfect. The barrier free design permits Gerry to shower himself. Without it, I could not have had him home as the old access was impossible for his wheelchair. With appreciation, gratitude, and warmest regards."

"Stephen and his team did a fantastic job. Very easy to communicate with and very professional."

Caitlin Rielly

"After a negative experience with a shady contractor in 2020, I searched high and low for a general contractor that I could trust when I was ready to resume installing a suite in the basement of my home. I chose Constructo for their integrity and ability to put my worries at ease. I was completely happy working with them throughout the whole project. Stephen is a clear communicator and I was informed of every step along the way, with no surprises. I have many future home renovation projects in mind, and I hope to work with Constructo on all of them."

Roseanne Harvey
Basement suite

"I have referred Stephen and Constructo Group to 2 of my clients recently. He was the renovation contractor for my clients to help them get their homes ready to sell. In both cases the clients were very happy with the work that Stephen and his team did. They were professional and did exactly what the clients needed. I would recommend Constructo Group as the general contractor to my clients in the future."

Diana Zinck

"Considering the renovation stories I hear at work and the fact that you built us an addition, renovated our kitchen, our master bedroom and bathroom, all while we lived in our house, I just do not feel like I have suffered enough."

Mike Pascoe

"Thank you for your careful assistance and guidance. Best wishes and thank you all for doing such a great job."

Simon Williams
Addition over garage

"We appreciate Stephen's work and assistance. Our renos were a rather substantial undertaking for us - two kids, two cats and dog in the background! At all times, Stephen was meticulous and transparent about budget and timeline. It has been a pleasure to have had him (and Geoff) tend to our renos. Having a trusting relationship is something we value. He's honest, patient, a good listener and was attentive to our specific needs and lifestyle. Very much appreciate his expert guidance and the pride taken to get things right. Very highly recommended!"
