A REPUTATION BASED ON A REPUTATION BASED ON A HISTORY OF SERVICEA HISTORY OF SERVICE GovanBrown is a full service general contractor,
construction manager and an established leader
in the industry. Since 1994, we’ve completed
thousands of projects across Canada ranging from
5,000 to 800,000 square feet.
Our growth is based on consistent and dependable
quality of service. In-house training programs give
our staff the depth and resources to expertly man-
age each project.
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE: CLIENT COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE: CLIENT ACCESS TO REAL-TIME UPDATESACCESS TO REAL-TIME UPDATES
GovanBrown has always embraced technology to
set ourselves apart from the competition. Once
again, we lead the way with CMiC, a secure web-
based, integrated Project Management/Accounting/
CRM platform which allows our clients to log into
their projects to review workfl ow, budgets, change
orders, meeting minutes and relevant documents.
Futhermore, CMiC completely and effi ciently inte-
grates Project Management and Accounting.
MEASURE TWICE, MEASURE TWICE, CUT ONCECUT ONCE
GovanBrown believes that every project should
open with a meticulously defi ned Planning Phase.
During this critical stage, we conduct preliminary
site inspections, create cost estimates, and prepare
bid packages and tenders tailored specifi cally to
your project requirements. This sets the founda-
tion on which a successful project is built and then
we assign a team of construction professionals to
manage each detail of the project from inception
to completion.

MEETING THE MILESTONESMEETING THE MILESTONES
GovanBrown’s focus during the construction phase
is cost and schedule control, along with the coordi-
nation of trades via weekly site meetings. All critical
information is entered into CMiC, allowing key par-
ticipants to review the project schedule at any time.
CLOSE SMARTLYCLOSE SMARTLY
We know the challenges of closing a job. To im-
prove this experience, we’ve created dedicated
closeout teams who will complete a defi ciency in-
spection with the project’s architect/designer, pre-
pare a report and manage all outstanding issues.
An operational record of the project is provided to
the client at closeout.
SAFETY FIRSTSAFETY FIRST
Safety is always paramount to any construction site,
which is why we provide health and safety training
for all our personnel and also why we employ a full
time safety supervisor. Our safety supervisor devel-
ops a detailed site-specifi c safety program for each
project which deals with all aspects of the project
from stakeholder training to public safety.
During the construction phase, he inspects the
project site on a regular basis to ensure that work
is being carried out in a safe manner for all stake-
holders.

It’s always nice to be acknowledged when you’ve
done a good job. We’ve had our share of accolades
and we’d be remiss if we didn’t thank our clients,
partners, trades and of course our dedicated staff
for helping turn visions into reality with style and
grace.

“Thanks to GovanBrown team for doing an excellent
job in the construction of our offi ce at 130 Adelaide
St. West. We are delighted that the project stayed
within our budget and was completed on time.
As is usually the case with large projects such as
ours, some unexpected challenges arose and we
were impressed with the way the site supervisor and
project manager guided us through those areas.”

“The project managers were the backbone of the
builds, as they were highly effective in all areas of
planning, execution and risk management. They
displayed an innate ability to limit any uncertainty
throughout the stages of planning and building.
This created a fl uid process that produced the de-
sired results.
We continue to work alongside GovanBrown on sev-
eral CIBC projects and look forward to working with
them for several years to come.”

“I am writing to thank you and your team for com-
pleting our offi ce renovation on budget and ahead
of time. It was a pleasure to work with you and
your project team. As with any project there are
always changes required and time lines that must
be maintained.
The on-site manager did a fantastic job of being
sure that all details were being handled to keep the
project on track. Please pass on my “Thank you” to
your team for doing such a fi ne job.”

tant area. We understand the processes required to
reach specifi c levels of LEED certifi cation, we have
the systems in place to manage these processes
and we have the resources at hand to carry out the
job effi ciently.

ous LEED projects and is a front-runner in the
management of environmentally viable construc-
tion practices. We are committed, along with our
subtrade partners, to achieving and demonstrating
sustainability in the facilities we help to build.

include Google, Fidelity Investments, Toronto Fed-
eral Judicial Courts, Kasian, Haworth, RBC Dexia,
