Right for the Job

Great communication is crucial to how we operate.

On every project, we work closely with all partners, suppliers and stakeholders from start to finish to ensure that you’re getting the best possible results. Our inclusive and cooperative approach allows us to meet your needs while maintaining a budget and schedule that everyone can set their clock to. These are the principles that guide our work, that hold us to a higher standard, and push us to go above and beyond for you.

1. Collaboration

When you collaborate, you communicate—something we consider a must at Silex Canada. Our collaboration process ensures that we work with you every step of the way. We keep you up to date and address any issues immediately with solutions that work best for you:

  • We involve property owners and consultants early on in our process to nail down the project schedule. We then outline the course of construction, answer occupant questions and address any concerns.
  • We work closely with all partners, suppliers and stakeholders from the very start to make sure everyone’s needs are met, especially yours.
  • We make use of Request for Information and Contemplated Change Order processes so you and our partners know of any inquiries involving project changes and any costs associated with them.

Our inclusive and cooperative approach allows us to deliver the results you want while maintaining a budget and construction schedule that everyone can set their clock to.

2. Attention to Detail

In everything we do, one thing is always clear: our attention to detail. We believe that your project deserves our very best, so from day one we sweat the big stuff and the small stuff:

  • We work closely with our suppliers and sub-trades throughout the course of construction to maintain quality control and make sure all deadlines are being met.
  • We use rigorous inspection processes to ensure that all regulations are being met and the quality of our work never drops.

Our attention to detail is what makes for successful projects. Whether the job is big or small, we make sure we don’t miss a thing and deliver great results, every time.

Our group of companies has contracted with Silex Canada on numerous projects for over 30 years. Our projects are mainly infrastructure projects; complex, large, delivery must meet highest quality standards in the shortest durations. In addition, our safety and environment standards are the highest in the industry. Silex has continuously met all these requirements in execution of all of their contract work for SCI. I fully recommend Silex as your contractor for the future and welcome any questions you may have.

3. Meticulous Planning

Before we even think about setting foot on the job site, we make sure everyone involved knows exactly what to expect, even when the unexpected happens. We meticulously plan and map out every detail of your project so that you and everyone involved is on the same page from day one.

  • Each project starts with a preconstruction meeting between property owners and consultants to get everyone aligned with the project schedule.
  • We update the project schedule every month and any alterations are reviewed with suppliers, sub-trades and you.
  • If any cost challenges come up, we address them with property owners and their advisors right away and offer solutions that work for all parties.
  • We communicate directly with individual occupants in residential and office buildings to keep them advised about construction in their building and in-suite work.

We approach every project with a meticulous planning process that minimizes delays and saves you valuable time.

Testimonial

We built a spa! On time and on budget and we’re still smiling. I cannot overstate my appreciation for Silex Canada; immediately solving every problem I brought, the daily advice and guidance through this process, and for somehow managing to keep it fun. Every day, Silex went above and beyond, and I am writing to express my gratitude. I realize, in hindsight, that what I asked for was close to impossible but the dedicated team at Silex was as invested in reaching my deadline as I was, and somehow got it done! You are the best of the best, and it was a pleasure working with you.

5. Environmental Responsibility

At Silex Canada, environmental responsibility isn’t just an afterthought; it’s something that’s always kept top of mind. It’s an integral part of our work, and we demand the same level of commitment to our environment from everyone working with us:

  • Our recycling programs are implemented both on and off-site.
  • We guarantee that both we, and our sub-trades, meet all municipal and provincial guidelines at all times.

We do our best to think of everything before we set foot on the job site so when we leave, our impact is a positive one.
