Economic Forecast: The Alberta and B.C. economies continue to grow at a steady pace. Inflation of material and labour costs in Alberta are beginning to temper commercial development in Calgary. Ontario’s economic growth is expected to flatten and the major construction private sector work continues to be condominiums. Public sector spending is focused on transportation, energy, hospitals and post secondary education. The major commercial property owners and managers continue to be active in acquisitions, small development, and redevelopment.
Corporate Profile: Pivotal Projects Incorporated is one of Canada’s leading Project Management companies with offices in Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, Calgary and Vancouver. Pivotal currently has close to $2 Billion in construction value under management. Our project managers have pooled their collective knowledge to develop several proprietary systems that we use to control cost, scope and schedule. This enables the best possible decisions to be made based on all relevant information. Pivotal’s approach contains risk, and maximizes project control. Pivotal has a core value of team success. To us, this means that every stakeholder in a project must succeed in order for a project to be considered a success. We are committed to finding solutions that balance the needs of all project participants.
