WHAT
WE
DO
We Provide A Full
Service Approach
We offer the best-in-class Construction and Building Services. From generic inquires on building methods, to Design and Construction, we’re here for you. Our goal is to help inform our clients on all possible options, empowering them to make the most educated decision on how to move their projects forward.
PRE-CONSTRUCTION & DESIGN
GENERAL CONTRACTING
This is the traditional construction structure. Under this model, the design team is chosen first to complete the working drawings and specifications. Based on the drawings, General Contractors will then provide a Stipulated Sum or Fixed Sum quote to cover the total cost of Construction, including overhead, general conditions, materials, equipment, as well as the cost of labour.
DESIGN TO BUILD
This delivery model offers a single point of contact for the entire construction project. With the Design-Build option, the Contractor takes over responsibility of the Design team, and will submit a lump sum contract price to provide Construction Drawings, Permits, and to Construct the project based upon a set of agreed-upon criteria.
CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT
Construction Management allows the owner to take a significant role in the project. In this model, the owner pays a management fee to the Construction Manager to act as their representative. The fee excludes all labour, subcontractor and consultant fees, as well as material costs, which are passed on to the owner on an at-cost basis from the Construction Manager. Decisions on which subtrades are hired are made collaboratively, in an effort to get the best total value for the project and not just the lowest possible price.

WHO
WE
ARE
Our clients often comment about the “old school” feeling about doing business with Bertram Construction. This is due to the personal attention, respect and honesty with which we treat their business – before, during and after the project. It is part of the culture at Bertram Construction and part of what separates us from other companies.
