Build North Construction Inc. was established May 15th, 1985.

Build North Construction has been helping to build the north for past quarter century. In particular, it has been constructing key education and other municipal and institutional buildings that are so important to the communities in which they are situated.

Build North has also built effective, harmonious partnerships with architects, engineers, contractors, sub-trades and of course clients. The depth and success of these working relationships could only be possible with a northern company, one that began and evolved here in the North.

Build North’s northern character has also made the company’s management team keenly aware of the rigors of working during the winter months and the impact that can have on any construction project. As an experienced northern builder, Build North understands how extreme cold and inclement weather can affect equipment, materials and workers and uses this knowledge to avoid problems that can easily increase costs or cause scheduling delays and cost increases that could impact the Owner.

When a client desires a construction management arrangement, Build North will also provide preliminary planning stage and design stage services including:

• Development of a detailed Work Safe Program to ensure that the work site is organized
• Coordinated and safe at all times throughout construction stage
• Development of a Performance Schedule outlining all phases of construction including overall scope
• Specific tasks
• Scheduling and detailed budgets
• Use of Microsoft Project Software to assist in establishing an effective construction schedule
• Preparation and implementation a Cost Analysis Process (CAP) based on a preliminary assessment of costs to assist the management team in determining design options for larger projects

• Arranging Energy Analysis by accredited consultants to support sustainable design and construction decisions on the way to providing the most energy-efficient building possible
