About Us

WE BUILD DIFFERENTLY

Govan Brown started with a dream – to do construction better and differently. Over the last quarter century, we have grown from a humble dining room table to become a leader in Canadian construction. In our quest to defeat the trust deficit and drive purposeful change in the construction industry, we are challenging conventions and forging a bold new path. We are delivering a new kind of construction experience, one built upon innovation, thought leadership, and the very best people. We leverage our deep industry experience and national torque to build the highest quality projects in Canada. Large or more modest, east coast to west coast, we will deliver solutions that fit your unique needs. We offer full lifecycle construction services, from pre-lease engagements to services to support your evolving needs. We remain nimble and agile in order to partner according to your specific goals.

We’re guided by a desire to be of service – to both our clients and communities – and work towards the common good. Our company was built on trusting relationships and over two decades later, we continue to make it our priority to form lifelong client relationships. Our organization is invested in continuing to lead the way forward through our socially conscious awareness in building differently on all fronts – for our clients, our people and our communities.

About Us

OUR VISION

Our Vision is to build environments that inspire creativity, spark change and dismantle conventions. We are focused on providing purposeful construction advocacy by leveraging an enterprise data strategy that informs sound decision-making, problem solving and risk mitigation for our clients. We unapologetically challenge conventions by doing things differently to drive a better construction experience. Team member investment, community engagement and diversity are the foundational elements of why we exist.
