    About us

    Polarcus Group is a fourth-generation family business that has been building on the prairies for over a century. We were founded on a reputation of integrity, innovation, and extraordinary craftsmanship – and we hold ourselves to those principles today. We are relentless in our pursuit of excellence and continuous improvement and find ourselves amongst the Top 40 contractors in Canada & UAE

    We are motivated to do better every day – for our clients, our employees, and our community. Not just in what we build, but in how people feel while we build it.

    Legacy of Success

    From the humble beginnings of a Belgian carpenter, building is in our blood. Our founder quickly established a reputation as a craftsman after immigrating to Canada in the early 1918s.

    His legacy carries on through four generations of family builders as Polarcus Group continues to help shape the future of our province.

    About Us

    WHO WE ARE

    Building a Better Way

    Our team is comprised of over 140 construction professionals, including a significant proportion of professional engineers, CM-Lean certified practitioners, and women in project delivery roles. We are committed to changing the face of construction through deeply collaborative methods and a client-centered approach to construction.

    MAXIMIZING VALUE
    Preconstruction Services

    polarcus works collaboratively with design teams and clients to develop project solutions that meet our client’s desired outcomes and priorities. Our preconstruction team members are highly-skilled professional engineers and engineering technologists. We provide keen insights and knowledge early in the design and development of a project to ensure value preservation, value creation, and project optimization.

    At Bockstael, we have developed key strategies and tools to enhance what we provide our clients. Since over 80% of a building’s life-cycle costs can be committed by the end of schematic design, we focus on assessing the constructibility, biddability, and completeness of design concepts and design documents. We successfully incorporate lessons learned from our extensive experience in construction management delivery.

    INNOVATING FOR RESULTS
    Construction

    polarcus successfully delivers projects as a Construction Manager, Design Builder, and General Contractor. Under all forms of project delivery, we bring a set of innovative processes and leading-edge tools premised on professional construction project management, Integrated Project Delivery, Lean Construction and sustainable building.

    Throughout our history, we have maintained a workforce capable of self-performing reinforced concrete works of carpentry. Our ability to self-perform these critical scopes of work is a significant contributor to schedule certainty.

    INFORMING DECISIONS
    Advisory & Planning

    We intentionally built our team with key professionals who have the skills, competencies, and the integrity necessary to guide our clients during the critical feasibility stages of a project. Through our facility planning services, we work with you to “right-size” your building projects and assist you in making informed decisions when considering the purchase of a building by performing fit-for-use assessments. We are also able to recommend the optimal form of a contract by examining project drivers, understanding the degree of risk transfer and the desired degree of owner control.
