What Matcon does

Matcon Construction is a privately held, family-oriented commercial contractor headquartered in Coquitlam, British Columbia, founded in 2002 and operating across Western Canada, the Yukon, and the Northwest Territories. The company delivers integrated ground-based construction services through seven in-house divisions covering civil infrastructure, deep foundations, demolition, environmental remediation, excavation and shoring, landfill management, and rock stabilization. With 375+ employees and 918+ completed projects totaling more than $1.3B in cumulative contract value over 22 years, Matcon serves enterprise and government clients in the energy, real estate development, industrial, institutional, and residential sectors through a direct enterprise field sales motion built on competitive project bidding.

Matcon's service portfolio is built around geotechnical and earthworks capabilities, including proprietary techniques such as jet grouting, secant pile shoring walls, slurry trenches, ground anchors, micropiles, and rockfall barrier installation (GeoBrugg GBE and T35 systems). The firm was the first stabilization company to certify technicians in Rope Rescue Operations for worker evacuation in difficult terrain. Its Landfills Division manages over 1,000,000 cubic meters of soil placement annually under an Environment Canada Disposal at Sea permit, and the Environmental Division integrates remedial technologies with traditional civil construction methods for contaminated site work. COR, ISO 14001, and OHSAS 18001 certifications support bidding on government and institutional projects.

The company generates revenue through project-based construction contracts bid per project on scope, complexity, and specifications, with no public pricing and no recurring subscription or long-term disclosed master service agreements. Customer concentration spans marquee names such as BC Hydro (Site C Dam, W.A.C. Bennett Dam), Quad Real Property Group (Oakridge Park), Woodfibre LNG (via the NC-Matcon JV with Squamish Nation), Fisheries & Oceans Canada, Beedie, Ledcor, Axiom Builders, ATCO Pipelines, Graymont, Core Group, and multiple Indigenous communities including Sumas First Nations. On April 2, 2025, Matcon Group merged with Knappett Group of Companies to form a larger, more diversified Western Canadian construction entity.
