Testimonials


  • "From May 2016 to December 2017, on behalf of PWGSC's client department Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), I managed a construction contract with FCNQ Construction inc. The project involved the design build delivery of a Wildlife Field Research Station in the community of Pond Inlet, Nunavut. This project is considered a success by both myself as well as the project leader at ECCC.

    Apart from the typical logistical challenges involved in construction in the High Arctic, this project presented one exceptional challenge. The construction contract to FCNQ was awarded in May 2016, allowing only 3 months: 1) to design the facility, 2) obtain client sign-off, and 3) order and deliver all materials to Montreal to meet the 2016 sea-lift to Pond Inlet. The FCNQ team, led by Carl-Anthony Duguay, met this challenge.

    The project was certified as substantially complete in December 2016, 3 months ahead of schedule. The entire FCNQ team was professional and co-operative. This included the consultant team of Blouin Orzes Architectes and Équation groupe conseil inc. (engineering). The site superintendent, Michel Gaudry, demonstrated a commitment to quality workmanship and was responsive in addressing deficiencies."
