About BRICON Contracting Corporation
BRICON Contracting Corporation is a Kitchener-based general contractor serving homeowners across Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph, and the surrounding region. With over 75 years of combined experience in residential and commercial renovation, we bring the knowledge of a large firm and the care of a family business to every project we take on.
Founded in 2002 by Brian Walls, BRICON has built its reputation one project at a time — through word of mouth, through neighbours calling neighbours, through homeowners who drove by a job site, liked what they saw, and picked up the phone. We don’t advertise results we can’t deliver. We let the work speak.
From full home additions and second storey builds to kitchen renovations, bathroom transformations, and exterior facelifts — there is no project we haven’t seen and no challenge we haven’t taken on. At BRICON, the answer is never can’t. It’s how.
Brian Walls - Founder & owner
Brian started his career fresh out of high school in 1980, having enrolled in architectural design at Conestoga College — until the recession hit and architectural design grads were struggling to find work. A self-starter, Brian pivoted to the contracting field instead and never looked back.
He spent the next 20 years at Chicopee Craftsman, working his way up from general labour carpenter to running crews. By the time he’d reached the ceiling of what was possible there, he knew exactly what he wanted to build next. In 2002, Brian founded BRICON Contracting Corporation.
Twenty-four years later, he still meets every client himself. He still goes to every job site regularly. He still reviews every estimate looking for a better price for his customer. And he still feels the same thing at the end of every project — what he calls “the pat on the back.” That moment when a homeowner walks through their finished space and the look on their face tells you everything.
“I love meeting people,” Brian says. “It’s not just about getting a job — it’s about creating friendships and relationships. I have a real passion for what I do.”
Brian brings 45 years of hands-on experience to every project — including a design background that lets him see possibilities in a space that most homeowners never imagined. He personally handles the initial consultation, the site drawings, and the design process, staying involved from the first meeting to the final walkthrough.
“Every project starts with a conversation, and ends with a handshake.” – Brian Walls
years of hands-on experience
BRICON renovated our home from top to bottom in 2015. The house was transformed into our dream home. The project was substantial and they completed the work one week ahead of schedule and on budget. We love our home and would highly recommend BRICON to anyone.

Our Values
Honesty Above All
We do our very best to ensure that all costs are included in your estimate and curb any surprises. If an issue does arise, we discuss and treat this with full transparency before continuing so you understand fully.
No Such Thing as Can't
We love the challenge. Whether it’s a front facade, a second-storey addition, or a full home
transformation — we don’t turn
away from complexity. We think
outside the box so you don’t have to.
Your Home. Our Standard.
Every BRICON crew member treats
your home the way they’d treat their own — clean, respectful, punctual, and professional from day one to the final walkthrough.
Nancy Hoodless - Office Manager & Client Coordinator
Every BRICON project begins with a conversation, and Nancy Hoodless is the voice that starts it. Nancy is the calm centre of every project’s early stages. The one who makes sure nothing falls through the cracks between your first call and the day construction begins.
Nancy fields incoming calls, gathers project details and answers questions, then guides you through the next steps. She coordinates the initial consultation, manages scheduling, processes start-up documentation, and keeps communication flowing between you and the team throughout the build.
With a 45% repeat customer rate, it’s clear that feeling stays well beyond the first phone call.
Meet the team
Bryan Klomp - Construction Manager
Bryan Klomp has been building things his entire career, and he has never settled for good enough. A Red Seal Certified General Carpenter with more than two decades in the trades, he ran his own renovation company for 12 years before joining BRICON in 2021.
As Construction Manager, Bryan is the person you’ll see most on site — coordinating trades, managing the build schedule, and making sure every phase is executed to the BRICON standard. He keeps homeowners, sub-trades, building departments and the design team talking to one another, so no question goes unanswered.
For Bryan, the best moment is the last one: handing the finished home back to the client, knowing the whole team did something they’re proud of.
Olayemi Adesina - Project Estimator & Coordinator
Between the initial design and the day a project breaks ground, Olayemi Adesina makes sure the numbers are right. She holds a Bachelor of Technology in Architecture and a Distinction in Construction Management, and is completing her CAPM certification.
Working closely with Brian, Olayemi builds project budgets from the ground up — reviewing scope and drawings, obtaining pricing from trusted suppliers and sub-trades, and finding better value without compromising quality. Every estimate goes through an internal review before it reaches you.
What she likes most about the role is turning ideas and drawings into budgets a homeowner can act on with confidence.

Giving Back
When a renovation involves removing perfectly good kitchen cabinets, countertops, or fixtures, BRICON doesn’t send them to the landfill. We call Habitat for Humanity. If they can use it, their team comes out, removes it, and gives it a second life in a home that needs it. It’s a small thing — but it’s the right thing.
