CGI Constructors
WHO WE ARE
CGI is a people focused builder with a passion for
the contributions we make to our community, the
legacies of our clients, and to future generations.
We know the excitement and anxiety that comes with the possibilities when
considering a construction project. CGI came into being because friends and
colleagues needed help with their building needs. Since that time, our focus has
remained on supporting our clients through construction. To us, how we build is
equally important to what we build.
More than 80% of our clients are repeat clients, their ongoing trust in our abilities
is a testament to our dedicated staff, our 1200 plus suppliers and subtrades, our
dependable systems, our financial stability, and our commitment to our community
and environment.
Our clients, both new and longstanding, can vouch for our purpose and values. This
is what they say about us:
“CGI management and staff represents itself through the construction
process professionally, following best in class processes, safety
management and construction quality.”
- HOK
“They helped guide us through the entire process.”
- Canadian Bank PM
“They keep me informed, down to the last penny.”
- Clean Energy Executive
“Efficiency? Yeah, they’ve got that mastered.”
- CBRE PM

Buildings are designed and built through collaboration with the people
who will use them. The role of the CGI Team is to understand needs
and engage our client, the consultants, and trades to work together to
achieve those needs. CGI takes the time to understand your priorities
and champions them throughout the build. It is important the people
who start the project finish the project. Our Team remains engaged and
committed to projects from start to finish.
Shake hands. Make friends. Get to know one
another. We are building for someone. Get to know
them. Make sure what we are building is what they
wanted when they started down this road.

Renovation to 4 out of 6 Floors of Government

temporary swing space and a complete re&re
of electrical, mechanical and all new modular

Georgia Street in Vancouver, BC.
The project included complete demolition and
all new services. This included 60 heat pumps,
electrical seismic upgrades, and elevator lobby
upgrades including an interconnected stair.
Complex interior millwork, natural stone wall,
and glass panels required a precise layout.
An aggressive construction schedule of 13

Toronto City Hall
East Tower Modernization
Location: Toronto, ON
Completion: April 2022
Project Value:
$4.1M
Owner: City of Toronto
Consultant: Straticom
CGI took on modernizing the workspaces of
all 19 floors of the iconic Toronto City Hall East
Tower. The work included reorganization of
floor space, HVAC, controls, electrical, AV,
flooring, and an overall refresh of the tower.
The work was scheduled by stratifying the
floors into phases of work so that City personnel
could continue working as we moved through
the tower. CGI was tasked with finding
sustainable solutions and the right price for
work in the market, as well as careful control
of the publicly-funded budget to ensure value
for taxpayers. We worked closely with the City
and Straticom to value engineer the design
and find efficiencies in the build.
