Akela Construction

General information

In April 1985, Kim Johnson started Akela Construction Ltd . in order to meet the needs of clientele looking to build small to mid-sized projects. The thinking back then was simple – work with a select group of trusted sub-trades, service clients one project at a time, build on past performance with repeat customers. Akela Construction has grown into a family business, based on same philosophy.

Akela is an ambitious general contracting firm that specializes in unique and challenging projects in the commercial and industrial sectors in and around the Calgary area. Over the years Akela has grown and now has a range of clients and projects.

As the local economy grows, we will continue to grow with and meet the needs of the community. Our goal is to continue doing quality small to mid-sized projects, and continue to service clients one project at a time

Akela Construction has the flexibility to meet a project’s needs, no matter the requirements. As a General Contractor, Akela works well within a traditional Design-Bid-Build system for a project, however we also have experience as a Construction Manager- for both public and private clients.

We can provide:

Budgeting and cost-analysis on projects at any stage from project infancy to full design completion.
Akela Construction has performed projects as the Project Manager.
We can service the project from concept and design management, right through construction and completion.
A perfect safety record with no lost-time accidents over the past 20 years. We utilize a current Workplace Health and Safety program that exceeds OH&S standards. We actively engage each one of the workers on our sites in identifying risks, ensuring safe practices, and watching out for the safety of those around the site as well.
Akela Construction is in good standing with the Workers’ Compensation Board. In addition, we currently carry $5,000,000 general liability insurance which extends to our subcontractors and the project owner if need be. Akela is also fully bondable if the project requires.
We can assist with design and have a number of engineers who we can refer back to if required.
Akela can schedule out your projects and work with you to ensure all works are completed within a timely fashion.
