What is
General Contracting
General Contractors are responsible for providing all of the sub trades, building materials, labour, equipment and services necessary for a construction project.

Buildings are our business and we are constantly improving our processes and expertise. Our customers come from many industries and our past projects introduce other industries with thinking outside the box ideas. With our experience, our customers get the full package for each and every project.
Project management starts well before ground has been broken on site. Our team works with the owner, governing bodies, project engineers / architects to bring the owner’s needs/wants from concept to completion while maintaining the balance between economics and aesthetics.
The construction process can be quite overwhelming from the outside looking in. Getting through the red tape and dealing with the different governing bodies can seem like an uphill challenge that sometimes seems impossible. That is why you leave this process to the people that have the expertise. Please see below for process steps for each project.
