OUR APPROACH
Tribuild develops each and every project team around the needs of the client and the specific project. With values focused on integrity, loyalty, accountability and balance, your team will deliver you confidence in your building solution.
We at Tribuild believe in being up front with our price negotiations. All of our construction management work is completely open to review by our clients. Our philosophy is to lay it all out. A fair price for the services rendered. Focusing directly on our areas of expertise and proving our ability to bring projects in on time and on budget, we feel that we can offer our clients a very attractive Total Cost of Ownership.
OUR EXPERIENCE
Tribuild’s first project in 1982 was a commercial office interior in downtown Calgary. From then until now, we have continued to focus on building a reputation for responding to and addressing quickly, our clients’ needs. As such, our client retention including our 37 year history has been and continues to be one of the many reasons that we are a stable and profitable construction management firm.
RISK MANAGEMENT
There are always challenges when working in occupied spaces, these are increased when dealing with critical facilities and sensitive environments. Tribuild works very closely with our clients to ensure that the disruption is minimized and/or taken away completely.
Our team works with our partners and the design team defining procedures to accept, avoid, or minimize the impact of the risks on each project.
Our Team
Tribuild’s management resources are utilized in every project. Built on a mentoring system, Tribuild has maintained a collaborative environment which provides support to each project team.
Matt McCaig
President
Professional Training
With formal training as a Red Seal Carpenter, much of Matt’s learning was on the job experience. Never one to shy away from a task he quickly expanded into Project Management, Estimating, and Corporate Accounting. On those occasions where he has taken courses he is noted to be more suitable to running the classes versus learning from them.
Experience
A claim to fame for Matt at Tribuild results from his highly competitive nature. If something “cannot be done” then that is the job for him. Eager for a challenge he quickly established himself as an invaluable resource for any project. While he has been a Site Supervisor and a Project Manager for each of Tribuild’s Divisions, it was in Critical Facilities that his love of problem solving was truly able to flourish. Whether a theoretical debate on ideas for a build or actually pulling off the impossible, Matt is always keen on pushing his mind to new levels of understanding.
“I’m a problem solver at heart which is why I gravitated towards critical facilities. I take great pride in being able to say that I was part of the team who figured that out, who was able to build that.”
