“I have been in the industrial business for

thirty years, and not one company has ever shared

the complete process that evolves from bidding

a job to closing one. I am proud to be involved

with a company that is willing to share all this

information with employees.”

“The course was excellent and taught me a great

deal about what I don’t know. I have a long way to

go, but at least now I have a target.”

“What a phenomenal package of information on

project procedures and the PCL way! Not only will

this help new employees but it will help me mentor

those coming up behind me.”

PCL FAMILY OF COMPANIESOur operations are carried out by a number of independent companies which operate in different construction markets or geographic areas.

Buildings Our full-service buildings operations support the work of project sites across North America. This network of construction professionals rises to the challenges associated with our extensive buildings portfolio, bringing added value to every commercial, institutional, educational, and residential project. While we’re better known for our larger projects, such as airports, sports facilities, and office towers, we also excel at smaller unique projects, such as renovations, restorations, and repairs.

IndustrialOur industrial companies, which are located strategically throughout North America, respond to the unique construction needs of our clients in the petrochemical, oil and gas, refining and oil sands, mining, and power and cogeneration industries. In addition to offering Construction Management services, we offer a full range of general contracting services, specializing in mechanical, civil, and electrical construction; pipe and vessel fabrication and module assembly; and piping and plant shutdowns/turnarounds.

CivilBy nature, civil work is geographically diverse and extremely demanding. This has made us versatile civil builders — equally at home building on land or over water, in busy cities or in remote areas. Our civil teams possess the ingenuity and the experience needed to undertake any civil structure imaginable — from bridges, overpasses, tunnels, and interchanges to water-treatment facilities, pipelines, and light-rail transportation projects.
