Services
General Contracting, defined as the provision of a fixed lump sum for a defined scope of work, forms a significant portion of Shurway's business. With this approach, the balance of risk in the contract is placed largely with the Contractor - this approach is well suited to projects where the owner's design team has the time to prepare a complete and coordinated set of tender documentation which reflects all aspects of the required construction.
Selected as the owner's construction advocate, Shurway Contracting serves as the construction professional on the owner's project team.
The construction management approach is well suited to: projects where time is at a premium and an early start is desired - early trade work can be undertaken while the balance of the design is finalized; projects which involve a high degree of uncertainty and risk such as major reconstruction of aging buildings - avoiding the need for a general contractor to price a risk premium; projects which are large and complex where the owner and design team require professional construction advice and possibly early or phased construction work.

Shurway offers a Project Management service for construction projects. This is an added layer of management above the construction contract itself which comprises the expertise and organizational skills to assist owners in assembling the entire construction delivery process. This can include the assembly of the design team and advice regarding procurement approach.
With the trend towards an increasing awareness of the environmental footprint of the construction process, Shurway is able to provide the required services where projects seek LEED accreditation. When working on LEED projects, the selection of appropriate trades and the communication of the requirements of the LEED accreditation process are critical.
Shurway's corporate practice focuses heavily on office tenant improvement and fitout work in Southern Ontario. Our clients include many of Canada's financial institutions and many diverse corporate real estate users and managers from small office renovations to major build-outs of new flagship space in multi-floor projects.

Exceptional service and value from Shurway Contracting! Our projects were completed timely and with competitive pricing. We had frequent and direct communications with the project manager and even the partners attended site meetings from time to time. The site superintendent was professional and skilled throughout the entire project. We will hire this company again confidently for our upcoming projects.

We engaged Shurway Contracting for a small job and while Kevin was helpful and the design work was very professional the individual they sent to do the work - Mike Tucker - was clearly the wrong man for the job. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt but he really wasn't up for the simplest task. The work quality was extremely poor and when I tried to explain this to him and pointed out the shoddy work he tried to laugh it off. Ultimately we resolved the issue but I would not recommend using Shurway again (or at least request someone other than Mike Tucker).
