What Zgemi does

Zgemi Inc. is a privately held, full-service general contracting and construction management firm headquartered in Brampton, Ontario, with 20+ years of operating history and 1,000+ completed projects. The firm delivers design, development, renovation, restoration and remodeling services for residential, commercial, industrial, hospitality, retail, institutional and international buildings, organized across seven market-facing service categories (New Development, Hospitality, Commercial, Retail, Residential, Institutional, International) and underpinned by 15+ in-house sub-trade divisions ranging from site construction, concrete, masonry and metals through wood/plastics, thermal/moisture protection, doors/windows, finishes, specialties, conveying systems, mechanical and electrical.

The business is a project-based general contractor that prices and delivers each engagement as a design-build, renovation, restoration or remodeling contract, with an additional supplementary line in construction equipment sales, leasing, rentals and repairs. Delivery is executed by in-house project managers and construction crews, supplemented by a filtered subcontractor network onboarded via a dedicated intake portal (verified for WSIB and insurance) and a careers pipeline for full-time hiring. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales across Canada with a content-led corporate website featuring portfolio galleries segmented by category, plus organic social presence on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn, with on-site contact and subcontractor/careers forms as the primary lead-conversion mechanisms.

Zgemi operates from six Canadian offices spanning Ontario (Brampton, Belleville, Ottawa), Quebec (Montreal), Alberta (Edmonton) and British Columbia (Burnaby/Vancouver), serving enterprise and institutional clients that include Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, Fairmont, Delta, W Hotel, Embassy Suites, Four Points, Hennick Bridgepoint Hospital, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Toys R Us, Rogers Canada and the Turkish Consulate, alongside an international design-and-build arm exemplified by the Kackar Hotel project. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the firm holds memberships in OGCA, TCA, CCI Grand River, Canadian Construction Association, FRPO, Ontario Construction Association and ComplyWorks, and operates without a disclosed parent company, subsidiaries or outside investors.

Core offering

Zgemi is a full-service general contractor and construction management firm providing design, development, renovation, restoration and remodeling for residential, commercial, industrial, hospitality, retail, institutional and international buildings across Canada. Every step of a project is handled by its in-house Project Managers and Construction Team to ensure on-time, on-budget delivery, supported by a vetted subcontractor network and an equipment sales/leasing/rental line.

Product overview

Zgemi operates as a single, unified construction services firm rather than a modular software platform; its "products" are trade-service categories bundled under a full-service general contracting and construction management offering. The core offering (General Contracting and Construction Management) is delivered across seven market-facing project categories — New Development, Hospitality, Commercial, Retail, Residential, Institutional, and International — which in turn draw on more than fifteen internal sub-trade service lines ranging from Site Construction, Concrete, and Masonry through Metals, Wood and Plastics, Thermal and Moisture Protection, Doors and Windows, Finishes, Specialties, Special Construction, Conveying Systems, Mechanical, and Electrical. Together, these project categories and trade divisions form an integrated design-build-renovate-restore portfolio managed by Zgemi's in-house Project Managers and Construction Team.
