Uday Singh arrived in Burnaby in 1991 with a set of hand tools, a trade ticket from Punjab, and a work ethic that would define everything that came after. He spent his first three years as a framing carpenter on residential sites across Metro Vancouver, learning the Lower Mainland's building codes, its rain, its clay soil, and its people.
In 1994, he earned his BC general contractor licence and registered Uday's Construction as a one-man operation. The first contract was a basement renovation in Coquitlam. The client referred him to three more families. Those families did the same. No advertising — just work that spoke for itself.
Today, with his son Rajan managing day-to-day operations and a crew of 25 tradespeople, Uday's Construction serves hundreds of clients annually across Metro Vancouver. The founder is still on-site several times a week. Some things don't change.
