Chandos Construction

Building within a development that’s still under construction? That’s a challenge we’re built for. “When you’re working in a site like The Well, navigating access is no small task.” – Jesse Reynolds, P. GSC, VP & District Manager, Toronto. With laneways closed and logistics constantly shifting, Jesse and the project team worked closely with The Well to secure access and keep materials flowing—ensuring the project stayed on track.

This #WomenInConstructionWeek and #InternationalWomensDay, we’re celebrating some of the incredible women on our team who help shape the construction industry every day.  Meet Melissa MacKay GSI NCSO LEED Green Associate, Superintendent in Kelowna, BC. When we asked her why she chose to pursue a career in construction, she said, “I initially chose this profession so I could provide a better life for my daughter. After 20 years, I still like the pay, but the real pay is changing the communities that we live and work in for our families, friends, and neighbours. I’m inspired daily by what we can achieve as a team.”  On the other side of the country in Ottawa, Ontario, Lauren Hall, Virtual Design and Construction Coordinator has been in the constructure and architecture industry for a decade. She told us she was drawn to the industry because it uniquely combines science and engineering with art and design. “My insatiable curiosity and passion for learning new skills sparked my interest in building information modelling (BIM) and design technologies.”  In Calgary, Tabia S., Project Coordinator on the SAIT team and the Cochrane RancheHouse Project has been building her career with Chandos since day one. She’s seen firsthand how teamwork, mentorship, and opportunity can help shape her future.  “Working in construction over the past five years has taught me invaluable lessons, not just about the industry, but about the power of teamwork and effective communication. My growth in project management has been both rewarding and challenging, but it has deepened my understanding of the importance of celebrating successes, mentoring my team, and embracing change. What truly stands out in this role is the sense of fulfillment that comes from seeing a project succeed—knowing that, together with my team, we built something meaningful and impactful.” How are you celebrating Women in Construction Week?🎉 #WIC2025 #WomenInConstruction2025 #IWD2025 #IWD 

Last month, our team braved freezing temperatures to install 15 silos at the Dairy Innovation West Milk Concentration Plant in Blackfalds, Alberta, including a massive 260,000-litre silo. Using a 500-ton crane, the silos were carefully placed, each weighing between 17,000 and 45,000 lbs. Lifting and positioning them with this level of accuracy took skill, planning, and the right equipment.

Our team is completing renovations on the Peter Hemingway Leisure Centre, which has been a gathering place, recreation facility, and architectural icon in the City of Edmonton for more than 50 years.  A key part of this project is replacing the over 12,000 sq. ft. hyperbolic paraboloid copper roof, known for its distinctive double-curved shape.

To facilitate community involvement while building the new Bigstone Cree Nation High School, we collaborated with Nation leaders to identify Indigenous vendors and connected them with our subtrade partners. The team also hosted a job fair, gathering a list of qualified candidates to hire from within the Nation. By project completion, local workers had contributed over 8,000 hours on-site. The 77,500 sq. ft. building features 14 classrooms, a woodshop, and an industrial kitchen for life skills lessons like dressing game meat. The physical design of the school incorporates the Sakaw Cree culture, helping integrate Cree teachings into the curriculum and space.

Earlier this month, the City of West Kelowna Fire and Rescue placed two commemorative coins into the final interior slab pour of their new fire hall. The original building served the community as a volunteer hall for over 50 years.  Our team is delivering the updated fire hall through the design-build approach. Once complete, it will include an adjoining recreation centre with a tennis club and hockey arena. The 16,600 sq. ft. structure is built with precast concrete walls and a hose tower designed for hands-on training including rappelling drills.

Our Special Services Group (SSG) partnered with Covenant House Vancouver to convert a downtown location that included offices into transitional housing. Through renovations, we expanded capacity from 25 to 44, creating bachelor units for vulnerable youth. Inside, we reconfigured the main floor and common areas, installed air conditioning, and upgraded storm and sanitary connections. The exterior also received a refresh with new paint, pressure washing, new balcony guard rails, and refurbishment of the heritage doors and window trims. With this full-scale renovation, Covenant House can continue supporting the community, providing fully furnished private apartments, 24-hour support, life skills training, and employment assistance.

To enhance infection control and patient flow, our Ottawa team delivered a new emergency department. The space connects the existing hospital with an elevator and stairs to manage elevation changes. We also built barrier-free entrances and an ambulance bay with direct access to the trauma decontamination room. Originally built in 1955, the hospital was due for expansion. The new facility addresses critical infrastructure challenges, improves hospital operations, and improves patient experience.
