RWC Systems Wins Bid for New Chanel Flagship Boutique at Oakridge Park Mall
RWC Systems is excited to announce that we have secured the bid to construct the new Chanel Flagship Boutique at the upcoming Oakridge Park mall. This latest venture adds to our growing portfolio of high-end luxury retail projects, which includes renowned names such as Holt Renfrew, the previous Nordstrom Downtown, Prada Vancouver, and Yves Saint Laurent Vancouver.
The Chanel Boutique, known for its iconic status in the fashion world, demands nothing short of excellence, and we are honored to be entrusted with this responsibility.
Scope of Work
The project encompasses a substantial 35,000 square feet of drywall framing. Our team at RWC Systems will be executing the installation of drywall and steel studs for the interior walls, drywall ceilings, and acoustical ceilings. In addition, we will be responsible for the application of plywood and intricate metal trimming.
One of the highlights of our scope is the implementation of Level 5 finishes. As a company, we take immense pride in our ability to deliver this top-tier level of finishing, which involves the highest standard of smoothness and uniformity in drywall finishing.
Level 5 finishing is essential in projects of this calibre, where the expectation for flawless surfaces is paramount. Our commitment to achieving this level of perfection aligns perfectly with the luxury and sophistication that the Chanel brand embodies.
Challenges and Special Aspects
The Chanel Boutique project is not just about construction; it’s about creating an environment that mirrors the luxury and elegance of the brand. This requires an extraordinary level of detail and precision throughout the construction process. High-end finishes, meticulous detailing, and a demand for perfection are the standards we must meet.
One of the key challenges we anticipate is the need to seamlessly integrate our work within the constraints of a high-end retail environment. The precision required for metal trimming and the smooth application of Level 5 finishes will be critical to the success of this project. Additionally, the acoustical ceilings must not only meet aesthetic demands but also enhance the boutique’s ambiance, creating a serene and inviting space for customers.
A Legacy of Excellence
Winning the bid for the Chanel Boutique at Oakridge is a significant achievement for RWC Systems and reinforces our reputation as a leader in high-end luxury retail construction. Our portfolio, which already includes some of the most prestigious brands in the world, speaks to our ability to deliver on projects that require the utmost in craftsmanship and attention to detail.
The Chanel Boutique Project will join our portfolio of high end luxury brands such as:

RWC Systems’ Annual Family BBQ: Celebrating 45 Years of Excellence
At RWC Systems, we’ve always prided ourselves on our dedication, craftsmanship, and quality. For 45 years, we’ve specialized in the construction of complex and specialty walls and ceilings, setting ourselves apart in the construction industry.
It feels like just yesterday when, at 19, Garth Robertson, as a 2nd-year apprentice taper, took the bold step to incorporate our company, envisioning a bright future filled with growth and potential. From securing the first drywall contract for a custom home to making the strategic decision to focus solely on commercial projects, our journey has been nothing short of incredible.
Over the years, we’ve achieved significant milestones, such as being awarded contracts for the Vancouver Olympic HQ, the Summit Lodge Boutique Hotel in Whistler, and our recent rebranding to RWC Systems Inc. Today, we’re proud to have a team of 30 dedicated in-office staff and manage over 200 hardworking site workers.
This year’s family BBQ is particularly close to our hearts as it commemorates the 45th anniversary of RWC Systems. Over these 45 years, while our expertise has expanded, our core values have remained unshaken: a dedication to our craft, meticulous attention to detail, and an unwavering commitment to delivering quality.
Our BBQ is more than just a gathering; it’s a day for us to look back on our achievements, celebrate our journey, and envision our future. This year, we were thrilled to share a special video and photos that encapsulate the essence of RWC Systems and our incredible journey over the years.
As we set our sights on the future, we’re confident that this BBQ will remain a beloved tradition, bringing our RWC family together in celebration and gratitude.
Robetson Walls and Ceilings is now RWC Systems Inc. And what better way to announce this new brand than with a great party!
Cake, champaign and new jackets? Yes, please!
Robertson Walls and Ceilings is now RWC Systems Inc

The new RWC Systems brand is meant to further signify our market-leading position in the current construction landscape.
