About

Founded in 1926, Graham Construction began as a humble railway station builder and has grown into one of North America's leading construction solutions partners with nearly 100 years of experience. The company expanded throughout the decades, building government and social infrastructure in the 1930s, securing major power station contracts in the 1950s, and expanding geographically across Western Canada and the U.S. Pacific Northwest in the 1970s. In 1985, employees purchased the company from the Graham family, establishing the 100% employee-owned structure that remains today. In recent years, Graham has strategically expanded through acquisitions including Quinn Contracting (2017), Moltz Construction (2019), Milender White (2021), and an Energy Operations and Maintenance business (2022). Today, Graham is an employee-owned construction solutions partner with revenues exceeding $4 billion annually and offices throughout North America. Calgary serves as the corporate head office and central hub for North American operations, where senior leadership provides vision and direction for the organization. The company's employee-ownership model fosters an entrepreneurial spirit where employee-owners from all levels of the company have a genuine vested interest in the success of every project. Graham provides comprehensive construction services including general contracting, design-build, construction management, and public-private partnerships across a diverse range of sectors. The company delivers projects in agriculture and forestry, airports and seaports, education, energy and power, hospitals and healthcare, light industrial, maintenance and turnaround, mining and minerals, multi-family residential, parking garages, rail and transit, recreation and community centres, retail and commercial, roads and bridges, and water and environment infrastructure. This breadth of expertise enables Graham to deliver projects of every scale and complexity throughout North America. The company's core values of commitment, integrity, and reliability have been deeply embedded since founding and create concrete business ethics that strengthen their ability to deliver value to clients. Graham's purpose is to build a better world through projects that enable people to live, work, move and grow in a rapidly changing world. The company maintains a culture of caring and collaboration, building strong relationships with clients, trade partners, and communities to ensure each project reflects shared priorities and long-term goals. In Calgary and across Alberta, Graham has delivered iconic projects including the Peace Bridge, West Calgary Ring Road, Bonnybrook Wastewater Treatment Plant upgrades, University District mixed-use developments, and Calgary Downtown Flood Barrier. The company maintains three Calgary offices including the corporate head office, a Buildings office at 115 Quarry Park Road SE, and an Infrastructure office, positioning Graham as a trusted partner in shaping the region's landscape and infrastructure for future generations.
