Let's take it back to the beginning.
When our co-founders launched Chandos construction, they had a vision to build a company that would lead change in the Canadian construction industry. And, be a business that balances both profits and people.
From Chandos Lake
Our founders wanted to create something different. They even steered away from using a traditional construction company name. Instead, they opted to title the business after Chandos Lake – a body of water belonging to Ontario’s Kawartha Highlands - a place that had a history in both of their upbringings.
To National Presence
What started out as a company with a single office, turned into one with 700 employees in seven locations across Canada: Edmonton, Calgary, Red Deer, Kelowna, Vancouver, Toronto, and Ottawa. Chandos is 100 per cent employee owned and the first and largest B Corp certified national technical builder in North America.
Building Together
Chandos’ co-founder, Dan O'Brien, and Executive Chair, Tom Redl, visit Chandos Lake to talk past, present, and future.
They also share the meaning behind our values - inclusion, collaboration, innovation, and courage- and the secret to our steady growth.
