Top Contractors - On-Site Magazine

On-Site’s Top Contractors report is dedicated to determining the leading Canadian construction contractors, ranked by revenue. It is an invaluable tool based on direct research of the companies involved and is used throughout the industry to research and source leading contractors.

Forty (40) companies make the Top Contractors list; five (5) earn recognition as the biggest with under 50 employees; and all receive a company listing identifying their scope of work to help owners and developers looking for contractors with the proper expertise to take on their next big project.

The 2023 edition of this valuable industry document will happen in June of next year. Watch this page and our digital newsletters for details about the 2023 survey in the spring.

Last year will likely be viewed as one of the more unusual ones in the annals of the Canadian construction industry. While some companies reported slightly lower revenues compared to last year’s survey, overall collective construction volumes were up, and there were more gains than dips among respondents. Our 2022 survey, which is based on 2021 revenue reporting, also has more companies in the billion-dollar club.

As with 2020, Covid was still a factor, but 2021 was also hit with a mix of rising prices, concerns about availability of labour, and ongoing supply chain issues as well. Turning to the first few months this year, fuel prices, inflation and lending rates are all on the rise. That said, most respondents to the survey are forecasting increases in year-over-year volumes in the near-term, which indicates optimism for 2022, although uncertainty still reigns. None of us have a crystal ball, so it will be interesting to see what the rest of 2022 brings, and how that impacts next year’s survey.

Once again this year, the team at On-Site would like to thank all of the contracting firms that took the time to participate in our annual survey. Your valuable contributions make this research possible, and allow us to share trends and insights with our industry.
