Why clients choose MEK
British Columbia fabrication for resilient exteriors — extended with wood-fired ovens and commercial fire lines
We design and fabricate bespoke fences, gates, and façades with a sustainable materials mindset — the same rigour clients trusted on legacy MEK programmes — then layer in ovens, grills, smokers, and kitchen fire systems so homeowners, operators, and project teams have one accountable partner from drawings to start-up.
Wood-fired ovens & grills
Refractory cores, precision insulation, and decks engineered past 500°C for even bakes — paired with cladding and service-flow planning so the open flame becomes a magnet on the line. Optional accessories (mobility kits, shelving, height-adjusted spits, custom grates) and on-site assembly where the architecture demands it.
Delivery & support
One project contact, transparent milestones, install coordination, commissioning, and pragmatic guidance for architects, builders, and operators.
Exteriors & metalwork
Structured phases for gates, façades, and perimeter metal — zero catalogue kits.
Perimeter metal that survives the coast.
- Discover & measure — property lines, gates, façade loads, and brand cues for storefront and perimeter systems — captured up front.
- Engineer & prototype — CAD, material specs, coatings, and optional mock-ups before production locks.
- Fabricate & certify — controlled welding environments, documented QC, export-ready crating.
- Launch & support — install coordination, documented handovers, and responsive aftercare for residential, retail, and commercial exteriors.
Built for the site — and the set-out
Exterior hardware tolerances, coating systems, and install sequencing — tuned to BC coastal weather, rushes, and inspections, not brochure renders.
Ovens, grills & fire lines
Ovens that hold their temperature story. Grills, smokers, and pass-through fire — from kitchen drawings to start-up.
From a single BC property to a multi-unit rollout, we obsess over thermal mass, heat zones, fuel strategy, and the details people notice at the pass and the counter — kitchen flows, landing heights, and service aisles, not one-size-fits-all kits.
- Discover & measure — kitchen flows, fuel strategy, and brand cues for oven and grill programs — captured up front.
- Engineer & prototype — deck and chamber targets, material specs, insulation, coatings, and optional mock-ups before production locks.
- Fabricate & certify — controlled build environments, documented QC, and export-ready crating for equipment packages.
- Launch & support — commissioning, staff coaching, and responsive aftercare for homes and high-traffic venues.
