Services
Design-Build
Our Design-Build service integrates architecture, engineering, and construction under one contract. This method reduces project timelines by 20-30% while maintaining budget control. By centralizing accountability, we foster collaboration between designers, engineers, and contractors to deliver functional, code-compliant structures tailored to client needs. This approach eliminates communication gaps that often lead to costly change orders in traditional models.
General Contracting
For traditional design-bid-build projects, we execute fixed-price contracts after complete design documentation. Our expertise ensures adherence to CCDC2 standards while managing subcontractors for institutional and government projects. Despite potential for adversarial relationships in this model, our transparent processes minimize disputes through rigorous pre-construction verification of design details and cost estimates.
Construction Management
This phased approach combines early contractor involvement with flexible pricing structures. Initially operating under cost-plus agreements, we provide budget transparency and constructability feedback during design. Upon final approval, projects transition to fixed-price contracts while maintaining some collaborative advantages. This method works best for complex developments requiring specialized expertise during the planning stages.
LEED Construction
Certified LEED professionals implement sustainable building practices that meet U.S. Green Building Council standards. Our eco-friendly solutions optimize energy efficiency, water conservation, and material selection while complying with Manitoba's National Energy Code. We balance environmental impact reduction with functional requirements, delivering commercial and institutional buildings that achieve both performance and certification goals.
Pre-Engineered Steel Buildings
Cost-effective pre-engineered steel solutions offer durability and design flexibility for warehouses, industrial facilities, and commercial spaces. As authorized Robertson Building Systems dealers since 1990, we access factory-direct pricing for insulated metal panels and standardized components. These structures provide faster construction timelines while maintaining structural integrity for long-term value.
