About Us

Our Story

We organize, schedule, and mobilize equipment, materials, and personnel to manage construction projects and material supply. Our legacy is the schools, burn units, energy efficiency renovations, modular/packaged builds, and homes that were built while using as much local talent as possible. High quality construction in northern and first nation communities requires a high level of experience and communication. We have developed our team and process over the last 8 years to work seamlessly with governments and businesses in remote locations, and dynamic job sites. CTI specializes in project management and unique building packages tailored for performance in the north.

Why CTI

Your construction project is more than just bricks and concrete, it is the image and structure of our community. Working directly with 1800 manufacturers, we expedite access to a massive and competitive selection of building materials. Our commitment is working hand-in-hand with Owners, Architects, Engineers, Sub-Trades, and Government to fasten ideas into reality. We connect unique build projects like RTMs, and Home Packages with northern construction knowledge and professionals. This approach is an in-depth construction documentation and cost verification process that ensures quality control. We keep you informed on the progress of your project on a weekly basis. Coordinated site and safety meetings with project managers and site personnel are orchestrated to maintain daily records of every aspect of your project. Paper work is digitized and PDF copies are sent out to all involved parties. Let us prove that this is the best way to manage any construction site, large or small. We have a strong, result focused team that understands performance, timeframes and accountability.

Teamwork

Success is the result of dedication and communication. We enable professionals to focus on the end results while we drive them there. Our field management team utilizes experience and technology to execute high quality projects with support from our squad in Saskatoon. CTI is a diverse team of local experts coming together to build communities. Daily communication is channelled through project specific threads, so our entire company is utilized to execute detail oriented and responsive operations.
