Office and warehouse. General Contractor - Westmore Construction.
Commercial and industrial construction with steel erection and crane work kept in house, so one company carries the project.
Westmore Construction builds office buildings, retail spaces, commercial facilities, and industrial buildings for production at any scale, working as commercial general contractor, construction manager, and steel erector on projects across Washington and Oregon. The company holds an active Washington contractor license, WESTMCL836OJ, with zero violations in six years, and Oregon CCB 234945 as a Commercial General Contractor Level 1.
Both licenses carry $1 million in liability coverage, and the scope stays commercial and industrial: ground-up buildings, pre-engineered metal buildings erected by Westmore's own crews, and the construction management and preconstruction work that comes before them.
Six services make up the construction division, from the first budget conversation to the crane that sets the last beam.
Full oversight of a commercial build from the first subcontractor call to the final walk-through, with one Westmore team managing the schedule.
Budget, schedule, and subcontractor lineup worked out before Westmore breaks ground on a commercial site.
Westmore manages the trades and the schedule on a job it did not originate, for owners who already have a design in hand.
Ground-up commercial steel construction with exterior finishing included, for offices, warehouses, and production space.
PEMB packages engineered for commercial and industrial use, erected on-site by Westmore's own crew.
Structural steel raised and set with Westmore's own crane fleet, coordinated as part of the same build.
Westmore erects its own structural steel with its own crane fleet and crew, instead of scheduling a separate steel contractor onto the job. The construction division and the crane and rigging division are the same company, so the equipment and the operator are already part of the build team.
Derek Huegel's review describes Westmore self-performing the work on a building over 20,000 square feet, delivered on time and on budget, and credits the model with striking the right balance between cost and what the client gets.
For the scopes Westmore does not self-perform, the company brings in trusted subcontractors and manages them under one schedule, rather than leaving an owner to coordinate separate trades directly.
Zach Boyer-TS's review of a pre-engineered metal building project describes Westmore working well with permitting staff, inspectors, and subcontractors, and keeping the project moving through the entire process because of clear, timely communication.
Westmore holds membership in the Southwest Washington Contractors Association and runs one licensed team on both sides of the Columbia River, so a job in Vancouver and a job in Woodland pull permits from the same crew rather than a second, locally licensed contractor.
Warren Kangas and Wyatt Kangas lead the company from its home base in Battle Ground, Washington.
Budget, schedule, and the subcontractor lineup get set before the first day on-site, using Westmore's own preconstruction service.
Permit applications move alongside the schedule rather than waiting on it, filed as part of the general contracting or construction management service.
Structural steel goes up with Westmore's own crane fleet and crew while trusted subcontractors handle the remaining trades, all on one schedule.
The job ends with final inspection and a walk-through, handing over a finished commercial or industrial building ready for occupancy.

"Westmore Construction is a very honest and trustworthy crew. That is why we selected them as our general contractor and our pre-engineered metal building installer for our commercial project. They worked well with all the permitting staff, inspectors, and subcontractors. They worked hard to keep our project moving through the entire process and they cared about our timeline for completion. Plus, their entire team communicated well and timely. What more could you really ask for in a GC? I would highly recommend Westmore Construction and I would hire them again if we have a chance to develop another property in the future."

"Westmore is that perfect balance of cost vs what you get. They self perform their own work creating value there while delivering the project on time and on budget. These guys hustle, they have a great attitude, they're friendly, they never complain... they just get the job done. I would hire them again in a heart beat. This project scope was a building over 20,000 sq ft. They have the expertise to pull it off."

"Westmore Construction was a delight to work with. I had a concept of a plan for an Art Studio. Warren and Wyatt worked it thru with me. We came up with the plan that worked with all the county and city regulations. From the time they broke ground until the last final inspection was 3 months. They were amazing to work with and had ongoing communication with me as the worked progressed. I must give them kudos for working thru the worst of the rain during the winter. They were a happy workers and I plied them with homeade GF brownies. The crew was happy to work with me and I them.Thank you so much for constructing my dream Art Studio. You guys are the best!"

"We use Westmore Construction for all our crane needs. They are always responsive, on-time & professional. They're fast and efficient when they show up with no down time. They have multiple sized cranes and can pretty much do anything you need. We have also worked with them on the general contracting side and have no complaints. We will continue to work together."

Commercial construction covers buildings businesses use: warehouses, shops, retail space, and industrial facilities, built to commercial code with commercial permitting and inspection. Residential construction covers homes. The codes, the structural systems, the inspection path, and the contractor licensing all differ. Westmore's construction division works commercial and industrial. Homeowners reach the company through the crane division instead, usually to have a spa set into a backyard.
Start with the license, because every state publishes a searchable record of it. Then check the liability coverage, ask which parts of the work the company self-performs and which go to subcontractors, and ask to see finished buildings of the same type. Westmore holds an active Washington registration and an active Oregon license, carries liability coverage in both states, and self-performs its steel erection and crane work.
The commercial general contractor normally files the building permit and schedules the inspections with the city or county that has jurisdiction over the site, while the owner or the architect may carry land use approvals ahead of that. Westmore identifies the jurisdiction in preconstruction, files the application, and keeps sign-offs moving phase by phase so the record closes at final inspection.
Self-performing means the company's own employees and equipment do that part of the job instead of a subcontractor. It changes who is accountable for the work, how the schedule gets set, and how the number is built. Westmore self-performs its steel erection and crane work with its own crews and fleet, and works with trusted subcontractors on the rest of a build under one schedule.
It is commonly subcontracted, which means the erection date waits on an outside crane company's calendar. Westmore is built the other way: the construction division and the crane and rigging division are one company, with 55, 100, and 350 ton capacity in house and NCCCO certified operators on every pick. The lift, the liability, and the erection stay under one contract.
No. Each state licenses separately, so a contractor working both sides of the Columbia River carries a record in each one. Westmore holds WESTMCL836OJ in Washington, with zero violations in six years, and CCB 234945 in Oregon as a Commercial General Contractor Level 1, and pulls the permits and runs the job in either state without a second contractor on the paperwork.
Send the project type, the location, and where things stand today, and Westmore scopes the build before quoting the job. Call for the fastest answer.
