Brandon Farrell 2026 Finalist

Director at M3 Development Management

M3 Development Management

Brandon Farrell has built his reputation on a simple formula: show up, communicate clearly, solve problems fast, and own the outcome. A big part of that story is what he’s done in B.C. Brandon essentially launched M3’s Vancouver office from scratch, then grew it into a trusted operation managing complex work across public and private sectors. Colleagues credit him with expanding both the project management and quantity surveying sides of the business, while building the relationships that make hard projects run smoother — owners, consultants, contractors, all pulling in the same direction. One of his most meaningful moves has been creating M3’s dedicated non-profit housing team, giving affordable housing providers practical support through early planning, funding, and approvals — the parts that often stall good projects before they even start.

What voters said

"He essentially launched the Vancouver M3 office on his own. He personally led its growth from the ground up, building the team, the client base, and the reputation the office has today."
