PROUD SPONSOR OF ON-SITE’S TOP CONTRACTORS 2025
CONFIDENCE IN CONSTRUCTION
Building a stronger Canada through partnership.
American Global Canada is extremely honoured to be this year’s sponsor of On-Site Magazine’s Top Contractors issue, and to stand alongside the industry leaders that are shaping Canada’s future.
While Canada may face challenges with respect to our economy and our place in the world, one lesson learned from the recent election is that there is a desire for meaningful change and action, and an emerging consensus to remove the barriers to growth, innovation and investment that are needed to ensure our prosperity into the future.
Despite economic headwinds and shifting global dynamics, Canada’s construction industry remains a force of resilience and ingenuity. According to BuildForce Canada, non-residential construction investment is forecast to grow 2.5 per cent annually through 2028, supported by public infrastructure, energy projects and housing-enabling developments. Contractors continue to innovate, investing in people and technology while managing workforce shortages, supply chain challenges and geopolitical uncertainty. One thing we do know for certain is of the need for us all to continue collaborating as an industry, regardless of geography, to continue the progress we’ve made.
At American Global Canada, we’re proud to see that strength in action. Major projects, like the Contrecoeur Terminal Expansion at the Port of Montreal, are transforming Canada’s trade capacity and economic resilience. Whether it’s ports, transit, housing or energy, our nation’s contractors are leading the way in building a better tomorrow.
American Global’s role is to support all those who build — not simply with programs and policies but through partnership. As one of North America’s largest privately held brokerages with a sole focus on construction, we support contractors throughout the entire scope of their projects and across every milestone of their business. We are here, not only to protect clients against the risks and exposures specific to the construction industry, but to help navigate risk, unlock opportunity and make confident, data-driven decisions. Our proprietary project model and advisory platform, C-RISQ, helps provide clarity when it matters most, and our team is your trusted advisor.
While market conditions may shift, our commitment does not. No matter how uncertain the economy, or how divided the world may seem, we believe in the collective power of collaboration. At American Global Canada, we’re proud to work side by side with contractors, carriers and clients to drive progress and prosperity, together.
To all those recognized in this year’s Top 40 Contractors list: Congratulations! Your leadership continues to shape the future of this country, and we’re honoured to build it with you.
Sincerely,
Kent Peters President, American Global Canada

Introducing the 2025 Top Contractors in Canada
Coming off a period of high inflation, followed by a half-year of tariff uncertainty, it will surprise few that 2024 and 2025 are presenting a mix of financial results and expectations amongst Canada’s leading construction firms. While not all companies experienced revenue growth last year, many did –some even hitting historic highs.
Among those who saw their revenues retreat, major projects either wrapping up or getting closer to completion were often cited as reasons.
Overall, On-Site’s survey of readers suggests that Canada’s construction sector continued to climb in 2024. Looking at the Top 10 from our list of the 40 largest companies, by revenue, their cumulative reporting was almost a billion dollars higher than in 2023. That’s very good news.
While 2025 forecasting has a significant number of companies tempering their expectations, results in next year’s list may be tied to which segment, or segments, a company serves. Publicly funded projects appear to be showing stability and growth, and the term cautious optimism is percolating within the sector.
Once again, the team at On-Site would like to thank all of the companies that took the time to participate in our annual survey. Your valuable contributions make this research possible and allow us to share trends and insights with our industry.

STAYING POSITIVE IN UNCERTAIN TIMES
Canada’s construction sector remains cautiously optimistic.
BY ADAM FREILL
With PCL leading this year’s Top 40 Contractors list with a robust $11.3 billion in 2024 revenues, a rise of $1.3 billion, one could assume that Canada’s construction sector is riding a nice wave of growth, but the full picture is quite a bit more complicated than simply pointing an arrow. While some companies saw some significant growth, others experienced a decline in their annual revenue totals.
Based on some of the responses to On-Site Magazine’s annual survey of readers, as well as conversations with several of the industry’s leading companies, the segment, or segments, one plays in is a major factor in reported revenues this year, as is the stage of progress of some major projects. Looking ahead, 2025 expectations are somewhat muted as companies navigate an unusual mix of high need but low demand for new housing in the residential sector, and economic challenges that are impacting both lending rates and project cost certainty, which is putting privately funded projects at risk of pause or cancellation. Publicly funded projects are providing some significant opportunities, however, as are certain pockets of the private sector.

“There’s no question that economic pressures are creating some headwinds. Project delays and cancellations are happening, especially in the private sector, where financing is tighter and clients are more cost-sensitive,” says Omar Rawji, CEO of Prism Construction. “That said, the types of work we specialize in — design-build, commercial and industrial projects, and tenant improvements — are still moving. We’re seeing steady demand in light industrial builds, retrofit projects, and upgrades for existing tenants who are staying put and investing in more efficient or reconfigured spaces rather than relocating.”
Despite facing some economic uncertainty, the fast adoption of new technologies, and an ongoing labour shortage, “cautiously optimistic” remains a common assessment of prospects for the coming 12 months.
TARIFFS TROUBLING BUT MANAGEABLE
Perhaps the most heavily used term of 2025 has been tariffs, but despite the instability, the actual impact of cross-border tariffs on Canada’s construction industry has not been as severe as may have been feared, with contractors using a mix of strategies to mitigate the impact on projects that are moving forward, including some learned navigating price escalations during the pandemic.
“Overall, volatile trade policies have had a dampening effect on the sentiment in the industry and elevated the risk profile of most projects,” says Thomas Strong, senior vice-president of Construction Technology & Innovation at NFP. “For in-flight projects, many general contractors are conducting a detailed review of material origin so that they can get out in front of any issues that they might have. General contractors are expediting the supply of material to the job site where possible, or working to prequalify new alternative suppliers, to minimize disruption and budget impact.”
“When the risk of tariffs first appeared a few months ago, there was a real concern as to the supply chain and cost impact to projects. Since that time, and [looking at] some analysis on the potential tariff impacts,
Although individual corporate performance varies, the survey figures reported for 2024 show no category where the decreases were greater than the increases, indicating that the industry was either holding steady or growing in all surveyed categories last year.
there are solutions that can minimize the impacts, and in some cases create opportunities for the Canadian market,” says Mike Wieninger, COO of Canadian Operations at PCL Construction. “This doesn’t mean there won’t be supply chain and cost impacts, but the impact doesn’t appear to be significant from a cost perspective.”
“Some contractors are now entertaining calls from international suppliers they would’ve never considered,” adds Kent Peters, president of American Global Canada. “One key shift we’ve seen since the pandemic is how inflation risk is being passed upstream. Suppliers, subs, and GCs are building that into contracts, often pushing more of the risk onto the owner.”
Industry associations are also working to help contractors navigate the cost uncertainty that tariffs may present.
“ORBA has been working closely with the Ministry of Transportation to develop contract language and procurement guidance that allows for tariff-related relief,” reports Steven Crombie, senior director of public affairs at the Ontario Road Builders’ Association. “These efforts are helping to stabilize projects and give contractors more confidence in their bids.”
NO TIME TO IGNORE LABOUR
As projects continue to roll forward, so too does the challenge of finding and retaining new workers for the industry. The pressure of replacing an aging workforce that is losing numbers to retirement is real, and will only grow as segments like housing find their feet, which may see the industry looking to government for support.
“According to industry data, around 40 per cent of the construction workforce is over 45 years old, and a significant portion is nearing retirement age. We are seeing those retirements happen, particularly among skilled trades,” states Wieninger. “Construction capacity will be a real issue if there is growth in both private and public development. Governments and industry leaders need to address this issue and promote and attract talent to the construction workforce to meet the expected demands in the coming years.”
“The labour shortage is very real. The projected retirements are happening, and we are seeing them,” says Rawji. “Retention, in our experience, is just as much about culture and purpose as it is about pay. Workers want to feel valued, safe, respected, and part of something bigger.”
THE AI ERA OF CONSTRUCTION
One way the industry is looking to do more with the labour pool that it does have is by embracing of technology. According to this year’s Top Contractors readership survey, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is on the rise in Canada’s construction sector.
“With the global talent shortage impacting all organizations and roles remaining vacant, economists are suggesting that the shortage needs to be addressed through productivity enhancements,” says Wieninger. His company, and many others, are looking at ways to harness AI to reduce the time needed for daily tasks.
“While the adoption of AI in construction is still in its early stages compared to other sectors, its impact is steadily growing,” explains Brandon Milner, chief information officer and senior vice-president at EllisDon. “From optimizing project schedules and enhancing safety through predictive analytics, to streamlining
workflows and enabling real-time decision making, AI is becoming a game-changer.”
“Common use cases targeting general contractors include contract review, quantity takeoff and even earned value reports from reality capture products,” says Strong. “AI, so far, is not replacing knowledge workers, but rather it is improving their productivity as they adapt these products to gather, enhance and enrich information for decision-making.”
“While a lot of the current conversation about AI is high-level or theoretical, we’re starting to see real, tangible applications in construction,” agrees Rawji. “At Prism Construction, we’re not interested in hype for hype’s sake. We are using AI and machine learning tools in estimating, project scheduling, predicting maintenance needs, and many administrative functions. Tools such as generative design and predictive modeling are also starting to make a difference.”
“AI’s real impact today is personal. It’s less about big, complicated systems and more about helping people work smarter every day, whether it’s summarizing notes, generating reports, or brainstorming ideas. That kind of practical, daily integration is what’s pushing the industry forward,” says American Global’s Chris Greene.
Milner adds that AI is not a passing trend. “The construction world is moving toward data-driven decision-making, and AI provides the tools to stay competitive and improve efficiency,” he explains. “Those who embrace AI now will position themselves as leaders in an increasingly digital industry, while those who delay risk falling behind.”
THE ROAD AHEAD
With new technology helping the workers that are in the industry, an expectation of some relief on the financial front, and a new federal government that proclaimed “Build, baby, build” on election night, the industry is navigating a mix of expectations this year but appears to be staying positive in its general outlook.
“With the new federal government’s prioritization of construction and trade diversification, we remain cautiously optimistic that Canada’s construction industry will see greater support and partnership from the federal government, which will help us overcome the challenges our industry is presently facing,” states Rodrigue Gilbert, president of the Canadian Construction Association.
“Industry sentiment across Canada’s construction sector is cautiously optimistic,” confirms Greene. “While challenges like tariffs and labour shortages persist, factors such as declining interest rates, stabilizing material costs, and robust government infrastructure investments are fostering confidence.”
“Contractors in the civil sector are pragmatic,” adds Crombie, saying that companies in his organization are “cautious about project risk and cost volatility, but generally
Along with being cautious with their 2025 forecasts, general contractors are also watching prices more closely this year.
We don’t just build projects, we create futures.
At EllisDon, people are the foundation of everything. From our teams in the field to the communities and partners we work alongside, great relationships are what drive us forward. Driven by our values, we create opportunities to grow, and build a future full of possibility.
Uncertainty in the economy is making it more difficult for some projects to proceed, with some significant privately funded projects already being put on pause. This has contractors concerned about the potential of contract cancellations.
confident that work will remain steady. There’s optimism tied to continued public investment, but also a recognition that smarter procurement and contract risk-sharing will be key to maintaining momentum.”
“Overall, there is a healthy amount of construction in the market today and it appears the industry has the capacity to execute the work,” says Wieninger. “The private sector is in a current lull and will at some point increase the amount of development. The public sector continues to be strong and will likely grow if the federal government holds true to infrastructure development to increase Canada’s trade diversification and economic growth.”
This leads Rawji to say the industry is, “Realistic,” when asked to sum up the mood of the sector. “We understand there’s economic uncertainty, but it’s times like these where good builders shine.”

SMALLER COMPANIES, OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE
Leading big projects with small teams takes collaboration and flexibility.
BY TREENA HEIN
There are hundreds of excellent smaller construction firms in Canada. From coast to coast, these outstanding teams are taking on impressive projects and truly leading the industry in various ways – but only a few are chosen each year as the “Top 5 in Canadian Construction Under 50 Employees.”
Among our 2025 winners, Fillmore Construction of Edmonton tops the list, and not for the first time. Fillmore debuted as in top spot in 2023 and achieved the same honour in 2024 as well. During that span, its revenues have climbed from an impressive $170 million to almost $190 million as it has taken on many innovative projects.
A recent one that stands out is Ever Square in Edmonton, a 5.79-acre development that features a cast-in-place concrete six-storey commercial-professional building. Fillmore Construction president Chris Fillmore describes it as a case study in his firm’s operational approach: listen first, provide detailed and effective feedback, and work with the client to provide an amazing product.
The project presented many challenges, including pricing volatility and a hydrocarbon-soaked brownfield site, but over the span of 12 months of collaborative design assistance, creative problem solving and open-book budgeting with trade partners, Fillmore says his team carved $6 million out of the initial estimate, without any significant alteration to the building’s performance or aesthetics.
Fillmore Construction’s Ever Square project in Edmonton includes a sixstorey office building, a Krispy Kreme Doughnuts (inset), a lube service station, and retail shops. In addition to finding itself at the top of the Top 5 Under 50 Employees list, Fillmore is also on On-Site’s Top 40 Contractors listings this year.
In relation to the project, Sam Narayan, president of Ever Real Estate Developments, praises Fillmore for its detail-driven, collaborative approach in completing this building.
“They involved our team in key decisions, solved problems before we saw them, and delivered exactly what we envisioned,” he says. “With Fillmore, collaboration is at the forefront of what they do. It’s part of
every schedule, every drawing, every discussion and touchpoint.”
The Fillmore team is very proud that Narayan has already awarded them with his follow-up projects as well, Ever @ Mattson and Ever @ Baseline.

development, has similar comments.
“Working with Fillmore isn’t just about getting the job done, it’s about building something great together,” he says. “They treat us like true partners, involving our team early, listening to our insights and making decisions that benefit the whole project. It’s that level of collaboration that makes us value every opportunity to work with them.”
This, however, is likely the last time you’ll see Fillmore in this particular Top Contractors list, as the company will surpass the 50-employee threshold this year. On that note, the company’s vice-president of major projects, Brian Drew, says, “We’ve been very methodical about our growth. We’ve added people where we saw persistent bottlenecks, not where we saw short-term upside. The litmus test is simple: if a hire doesn’t enhance client experience, we don’t make it.”
At the same time, Fillmore’s core values will never change.
“You don’t lose your small-company DNA just by adding more key people into the fold,” says Drew. “What you can lose is focus. So, we are doubling down on what has already made us successful: transparency, early engagement and looking after the people who look after us, clients and trades alike.”
CLOBRACON CONSTRUCTION
Using the unique capabilities and passions of its leadership team and dedicated personnel: that’s what enables Clobracon Construc-
tion in Saint-Laurent, Que., to complete larger commercial, multi-residential and industrial projects than one would expect from a smaller firm.
“We have a lot of repeat clients,” explains company president Michel Tylbor. “We stand out because we are all engineers and professionals. We like technical challenges, and we are excited about construction. Our upper-level management is very involved in every project. We do an enormous amount of planning at all stages, site logistics, and so on. Our goal is to be as organized as possible and have each job go completely smoothly.”
Clobracon can also take on large projects, says Tylbor, because they apply the Lean Construction approach to each project, following the efficiency and innovation system for constant improvement developed at Toyota for manufacturing. This means productivity parameters, and much more, are measured on every project. This helps Clobracon meet the current climate of economic uncertainty.
“We take nothing at face value,” says Tylbor. “We do extensive analytics of all aspects, and we run simulations of cost for various hypothetical delays and different ways of doing a project. We monitor everything in detail, including the budget, as we approach and complete construction.”
Among other recent projects, Clobracon just completed the new Hyatt hotel at Montreal–Trudeau International Airport and is now working on a new Marriott hotel
there as well, along with numerous other large-scale multi-residential projects in Quebec and Ottawa.
MATRA CONSTRUCTION
Matra Construction in Burnaby B.C., stands out “for our ability to function as a true extension of our clients’ teams,” explains Jason Moore, vice-president of operations. “We combine the agility of a smaller firm with the depth of experience and discipline typically found in larger organizations. What sets us apart is our collaborative approach, technical precision and transparent project delivery. We don’t just build. We solve, adapt and partner.”
Among the industry challenges that he and his colleagues look to successfully navigate is balancing rising costs and increased demands without compromising quality or team well-being.
“Another ongoing challenge is retaining skilled professionals who align with company values and can adapt in a fast-moving environment,” he says. “Our advice? Invest in communication and clarity. For small teams, tight collaboration and aligned expectations are everything. Empower people with context, involve them in problem-solving early and build a culture where questions and continuous learning are encouraged. It not only improves project outcomes, it retains good people.”
Matra just finished a 25,000 square-foot space in a Class AAA building in downtown Vancouver for Grant Thornton, a project that’s now competing for the 2025 Tenant Improvement of the Year award with BOMA.

REIMAGINING WHAT’S POSSIBLE: REVITALIZING THE SUNRISE BUILDING
In downtown Edmonton, an aging high-rise is being transformed into a symbol of sustainability, collaboration, and renewal. Chandos Construction, in partnership with Avenue Living, M.O. George Architect, and Claroscuro Architecture, is in the finishing stages of completing a deep energy retrofit of the SunRise Building—formerly Capital Tower. Built in 1970, the 12-storey, 11,400 sq. ft. structure is being reimagined as a modern, mixed-use space focused on affordable housing and environmental performance through decarbonization of GHG emissions.
Chandos took on the project because it aligned with its values. “This was the kind of challenge we thrive on—complex, collaborative, and communityfocused,” says Dustin Tonsi, Project Manager at Chandos. “We saw not only the opportunity to revitalize a neglected space but to help lead a meaningful urban renewal effort.”
The deep energy retrofit includes full mechanical and electrical upgrades, abatement and remediation, a modernized building envelope, redesigned suites with LED lighting, updated kitchens and bathrooms, and new amenity spaces. The building will also feature Canada’s largest array of solar panels integrated into its cladding, which—alongside improvements to the mechanical and electrical systems and building envelope—is projected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 64 per cent. The panels double as public art—an 85-foot mural by Indigenous artist Lance Cardinal, blending Indigenous and Asian influences.
“The SunRise Building shows what’s possible when smart design meets strong partnerships,” says Neal Shannon, EVP, Capital Projects at Avenue Living. “This was a complex retrofit but by collaborating and focusing on sustainability and efficiency, we transformed an underused property into modern, affordable housing. It highlights how smart retrofits can breathe new life into existing structures, and the neighbourhoods around them.”
Chandos emphasized communication throughout, holding 78 weekly meetings,
68 trade-specific sessions, and frequent walkthroughs. This helped the team manage issues common in retrofit projects, such as structural unknowns and material delays.
“Projects like this succeed because of trust,” adds Tonsi. “We weren’t just managing trades—we were building relationships that allowed us to navigate surprises together.”
The architectural team saw the building as more than just a technical challenge. “When I first walked through the building, it was in significant disrepair, and the scope was modest,” says M.O. George, Principal at M.O. George Architect. “But we saw potential—this was an opportunity to transform a neglected structure and reimagine it as a valuable community asset. What began as a straightforward renovation quickly evolved into a deep energy retrofit, complete with a solar façade and upgraded infrastructure. The result is a dramatically more sustainable building, but also one that people are excited to live in.”
Due to the expanded scope, Claroscuro Architecture was brought in for technical support of the extensive interior renovation of all floors during the construction phase. Community feedback shaped the second-floor amenity hub, which includes a yoga room, communal kitchen, games lounge, and golf simulator. Avenue Living co-designed the spaces, and Claroscuro Architecture led the design.
“This project involved a drastic renovation
that required high-quality communication and collaboration between the client, contractor, and architects. This teamwork allowed the entire group to respond to unexpected conditions and evolve the design effectively. Collaborative communication during construction always leads to better buildings, which will hopefully translate into a stronger community in and around the building once the project is in use,” says Tara McCashin, Principal Architect at Claroscuro Architecture.
The Chandos team bridged language barriers, navigating a high number of ESL trade workers by adding Ukrainian subtitles for site orientations and maintained safety, requiring crews to always have a translator onsite when they had non-English speaking workers. They worked diligently and exceeded air tightness targets and achieved partial occupancy, allowing leasing of the building to occur over 3 months ahead of final occupancy.
“We’re proud of the impact this project will have,” says Tonsi. “It’s a reminder that with the right team and mindset, even the most overlooked spaces can be transformed into something meaningful.”
