Pre-Construction Planning

Target Value Design

At Metro-Can Construction, Target Value Design (TVD) ensures cost efficiency, quality, and schedule alignment from the start. Unlike traditional methods that address budget overruns late in the process, this method integrates cost management into the design phase, ensuring every decision maximizes value and achieves project goals.

By engaging project teams, consultants, and trade partners early, we create a collaborative environment that optimizes design, controls costs, and minimizes risk. Regular cost evaluations keep projects on track, allowing for strategic cost-saving alternatives without compromising scope or functionality.

Throughout the project, our focus is on:

Budget-Driven Design – Establishing not-to-exceed budgets from day one.
Continuous Cost Tracking – Regular evaluations to prevent overruns.
Proactive Budget Management – Data-driven insights to optimize spending.
Collaborative Problem-Solving – Exploring solutions that maintain project vision without cutting scope.

Construction

General Contracting

Metro-Can Construction brings over six decades of experience to every project, earning a reputation as one of Canada’s top general contractors. From concept to completion, we manage all aspects of construction with precision and professionalism, ensuring every project is delivered on time, on budget, and to the highest quality standards.

At the heart of our work is a simple principle: build with purpose, integrity, and care. As a full-service general contractor, we believe that every project—whether a modest retrofit or a complex, multi-phase development—deserves the same level of attention, precision, and respect.

We take pride in being partners, not just builders. That means showing up early, standing by our word, and navigating challenges with transparency and accountability. We believe that trust is earned in the details—in the way we manage timelines, steward budgets, and collaborate with clients, consultants, and trades.

Construction Management

At Metro-Can, our proactive Construction Management approach ensures projects are delivered efficiently, on time, and within budget. By being brought in early in project planning, we are solving project challenges before they arise, minimizing risks, preventing costly delays, and delivering the highest standards of building quality.
