What Groupe Atwill-Morin does
Groupe Atwill-Morin is a privately held, family-controlled specialty contractor headquartered in Montreal that delivers masonry restoration, concrete repair, waterproofing, scaffolding, heritage metalwork, refractory/anti-corrosive work, and rope-access building-envelope services across Eastern Canada. The company was founded in 1959 and now operates from regional offices in Montreal, Quebec City, Ottawa, Toronto/Etobicoke, and Joliette with approximately 1,000 trades professionals; under three brothers—Matthew (CEO), Jonathan (EVP), and Mark—it has assembled a portfolio that includes the Canadian Parliament towers, the National War Memorial, McGill's Strathcona Building, and the Sainte-Thérèse-d'Avila Cathedral.
The technical stack is trade-based rather than software-based. Service delivery relies on in-house masonry, concrete, and scaffolding crews; specialized rope-access ("cordistes") technicians supported by a green-sticker facade-mapping system; a fleet of roughly a dozen exoskeletons; custom frame, rosette, and hydraulic mast-climbing scaffolding; and structural reinforcement using CFRP and FRCM composite technologies. Vertical integration is reinforced by the wholly owned quarry subsidiary Les Carrières Ducharme (acquired 2022) for heritage stone supply, and the recently acquired SoluBéton (2025) for concrete waterproofing and injection.
Revenue is generated on a project-by-project basis via competitive bids, negotiated contracts, and cost-plus arrangements with government agencies, institutional property owners, developers, and managers. The customer base is anchored by landmark heritage and institutional work (federal government, hospitals, universities, religious and civic buildings) complemented by commercial and multi-residential envelope restoration in Quebec, Ontario, and increasingly the Greater Toronto Area. Growth has been delivered through organic regional expansion, new service lines such as Atwill-Morin LCM (lead, copper, and metal roofing), a $2M scaffolding equipment build-out, and three acquisitions since 2022. Recognition includes Canada's Best Managed Companies Platinum Club status for over eight consecutive years and consecutive Montreal's Top Employers awards.
