Troy Lorenz
Site Superintendant

Troy was born in Richmond, and shortly thereafter his family moved to the Gulf Islands. There they enjoyed small town living for nearly 10 years before they moved back to Richmond. He is still a Richmond resident.

Troy started his construction career immediately after high school by working for his familes concrete cutting business for 10 years. His career in the building aspect of construction began when he was offered the opportunity to work for a friend, building spec homes on the North Shore. He couldn’t resist the new challenge and switched careers. This is where he discovered a passion for being an integral part of a build team. A few years later he began his own company performing residential and commercial renovations. He serviced the lower mainland for nearly 12 years.

He is a dedicated and passionate NFL football fan. He himself played for 7 years as a child. There are several teams that he supports. However, he is not shy to admit that he has been a Patriots fan since 2001.

When I am not at work you can find me on the local Vancouver trails, rain or shine, with my faithful, furry companion Chloe. Some of my other passion are cooking, snowboarding and skiing, and of course music. I catch as many “rock” shows in the local Vancouver venues as possible, driving as far as Calgary once for a live show.

I have been in and around construction most of my life. For me, the draw to work for the HCG was the great team environment, company ethics and the calibre of projects completed. My passion for working hard in a fast-passed environment, while keeping the atmosphere light and fun, seemed a great fit with the HCG attitude. Upon meeting Todd, the owner, I could see his passion for the projects, and the clients, as well as how important it was to him, to make sure his team had all the necessary tools they needed. Not only to do their best individual jobs, but for the success of the entire project. Meeting the rest of the team, especially Denver, felt very natural. I knew that the HCG was going to be a great fit.
