GENERAL CONTRACTOR

Our team provides turnkey solutions to complex construction challenges to mitigate risk and ensure coordination of multiple scopes.

Over the past two decades, Heavy has completed more than 1,000 projects across North America.

By sharing our unique process, knowledge and experience, we ignite bold thinking and amplify the creative process from concept to experience.

“Heavy’s knowledge, quality and patience while working through the design phase allowed us to ensure that the end product was achievable and well executed. We also appreciated how Heavy coordinated their work with both structural and architectural considerations, including related scopes such as glazing and stainless steel. This helped mitigate the risk associated with coordinating trade scopes on such a unique build.”

“In today's construction industry your company clearly stands for making a difference and pushing the design and fabrication envelope to a new level. We experienced this throughout the project in every interaction we had, from concept to the completion, with the installation crew on site."

"Ms. Anholt’s design may be described as simple to execute — it wasn’t. This simplicity required an emotional commitment to the project and attention to every detail to ensure that it was done right. It was done right and looks fantastic! It is also important to note that the project was done on time and on budget. Simply put, Heavy exceeded all of our expectations”. Due to the sensitivity of the archaeology and the extremely high profile nature of the site, it was important that the installation of “Marking and Memory" be executed perfectly. Ms. Anholt recommended Heavy. She had worked with Heavy on many of her installations across Canada and felt that they were the most qualified contractor to execute the work."

AN UNCONVENTIONAL APPROACH CAN LEAD TO BREAKTHROUGH IDEAS.

Engaging us early — before concept development — can bring significant efficiency to the entire creative process.

Why? We have a deep understanding of the constraints you might encounter, and the ways to work through them to turn a bold vision into reality. Over fifteen years of experience has taught us that the bolder the vision, the more complicated the execution. Our PLAN—BUILD™ process helps ensure predictability, so you have the freedom to be bold.
