Three Generations Of Experience

Burcon Renovations is a family-driven residential renovation company built on generations of hands-on construction experience in London, Ontario. Backed by four decades of commercial and residential construction through a separate, established business, we bring higher standards, better planning, and a more organized approach into every home, all while keeping the process personal and straightforward.

That commercial background influences how we approach residential work, from early planning and communication to final execution.

About the Owner

Founder Liam Buren grew up immersed in the construction industry. Raised by parents Rick and Liisa, owners of a successful London-based commercial construction company in business for over 40 years. Liam was exposed early to all sides of construction, including business operations, project management, and hands-on building.

After over a decade of active experience he developed a systematic, detail-oriented approach to renovations which led to the creation of Burcon Renovations — where proven general contracting principles are applied to residential projects.

Purposeful Renovations That Serve Real Needs

In recent years, there has been a growing demand for rental housing in London alongside a shortage of safe, well-built options. Basement apartments and secondary suites provide a practical way to address this need while also helping homeowners make better use of their space.

At the same time, not every project is about rental units. Many clients come to us for basement renovations and bathroom renovations that improve how their home functions day to day.

Our focus is always on creating spaces that are:

  • safe and code compliant

  • well planned and thoughtfully built

  • designed for daily use

  • appropriate for the home as a whole

A Professional, Start-to-Finish Approach

Every renovation is managed with the same level of care and organization.

Our process is defined by:

  • professional, informative consultation sessions

  • clear scopes of work and realistic timelines

  • fully permitted, code-compliant construction

  • clean, organized job sites

  • fewer surprises during construction

The majority of the work is completed by our in-house team, with trusted specialty trades brought in when required. This allows for consistent workmanship and better communication throughout the project.
