Local Suppliers We Love Working With (and you will, too)
At Oakhaven Properties, we know that exceptional construction starts with reliable, high-quality partners—and that includes the suppliers we count on day in and day out. As general contractors proudly located in Langley, BC, we’re lucky to be surrounded by a strong network of local suppliers who help us deliver outstanding results on every project we take on.
Whether we’re managing a custom home build, coordinating a commercial renovation, or completing a multi-phase development, the materials and tools we use matter. The suppliers we work with consistently offer us more than just product—they offer service, accountability, and a shared dedication to excellence. Here are a few of our go-to suppliers in the area and why we love working with them.
1. Dawson-Brill Lumber
Right here in South Langley, Dawson-Brill Lumber has been a trusted name in building materials for decades. For us, they’re a cornerstone supplier when it comes to framing lumber, engineered wood products, and specialty items that are often critical to the early stages of construction.
When our sites need prompt and dependable delivery, Dawson-Brill delivers—literally and figuratively. Their logistics team is on the ball, their stock is reliable, and their knowledge of lumber specs and structural materials is second to none.
As general contractors, we appreciate that they treat us like partners. From quick quotes to complex custom orders, their team handles it all with professionalism and care. Dawson-Brill helps us keep projects moving forward, even when schedules are tight and demands are high.
2. KMS Tools
Ask any of our crew members where they’d want to go on a break, and they might say KMS Tools—because let’s face it, it’s a contractor’s dream store.
KMS is our first stop for power tools, jobsite safety gear, fasteners, and specialty electrical and mechanical tools. Their Langley location is well-stocked, well-staffed, and well-run. When something needs replacing or upgrading, we know we can get it quickly and get back to work without delay.
They carry all the big names—Milwaukee, Makita, DeWalt, Klein—and they stand behind what they sell. We’ve also leaned on their team for advice on tool performance and best-use practices. They know their inventory, and they understand tradespeople.
Whether we’re equipping a new apprentice or replacing a crucial tool mid-project, KMS Tools is a big part of our toolbox—literally.
3. Dick’s Lumber
With a Surrey location that’s just a short drive from many of our job sites, Dick’s Lumber has long been a staple supplier for Oakhaven Properties.
They offer a massive selection of materials—from basic framing supplies to finish-grade trim, sheathing, insulation, fasteners, and even hardware. When we’re managing a project with diverse needs or tight delivery windows, Dick’s is one of the few places that can supply it all—and do it efficiently.
Their contractor desk is excellent. Whether it’s a call-in order or a materials take-off based on plans, the team at Dick’s is quick to respond and knows how to support a busy construction schedule.
They’re also great at keeping track of past purchases and helping us maintain consistency from job to job. That level of service saves time, avoids mistakes, and keeps our crews focused on building, not chasing materials.
4. Langley Home Depot
Sure, it’s a national chain—but our local Langley Home Depot earns its spot on this list for convenience, availability, and dependable service.
We often find ourselves heading to Home Depot when we need a few items in a pinch—whether it’s outlet boxes, zip ties, adhesives, paint, or small tools. Their Pro Desk team is contractor-friendly and understands the fast-paced nature of construction work.
They’ve also been a great resource when clients request certain light fixtures, smart home integrations, or finishes that we can source locally and install the same week. Their extended hours, competitive pricing, and solid inventory make them a key part of our everyday operations.
For those last-minute needs or smaller-scale jobs, Langley Home Depot keeps us rolling.

These local businesses help us build efficiently, source smarter, and deliver exceptional results for our clients. They understand the importance of timelines, precision, and real-time communication—all of which are essential in our line of work.
We’re proud to support companies that employ local workers, contribute to the Fraser Valley economy, and genuinely care about the trades they serve.
