NGA Construction / Structure

What NGA Construction / Structure does

NGA Construction / Structure is a family-owned general contractor and steel structure manufacturer founded in 1988 by Jean-René Prince in Drummondville, Quebec. The company operates a vertically integrated model that combines engineering, architectural design, steel fabrication, and turnkey construction under one roof, employing nearly 70 multidisciplinary professionals including engineers, detailers, civil engineering technicians, drafters, welder-assemblers, steel erectors, and carpenter-craftsmen. NGA differentiates through its 40,000 square foot CWB-certified fabrication facility and proprietary capability to deliver clear-span roof trusses exceeding 125 feet without interior columns, supported by in-house connection design software, finite element modeling, SDS/2 detailing, and CNC-integrated manufacturing.

The company's revenue model is built on project-based, quote-driven contracts for industrial and commercial clients, delivered as either general contracting services (professional services revenue) or fabricated steel products (hardware sales). NGA serves two primary verticals — Industrial (manufacturing plants, processing facilities, warehouses, mining operations) and Commercial (dealerships, retail, sports/recreation, corporate headquarters) — plus a smaller Specialized Fabrication segment for overhead cranes, bridges, walkways, and custom metal works. Distribution is direct enterprise field sales across Quebec (primary market), with select projects extending into Ontario and New York. Add-on revenue streams include building envelope components (R40 roofing), dock leveler distribution via Pentalift, oversized transport, and building modification services.

NGA's strategic positioning is reinforced by an October 2022 carbon neutral certification (achieved two years ahead of the original 2024 target) through a $750,000 investment in green technologies and a partnership with LCL Environnement and Carbone boréal (UQAC) to offset 380 tonnes of CO2 via reforestation of 2,600+ trees. The company's customer roster spans enterprise clients such as Silicium Bécancour, Polyvert Recyclage, Greenfield Ethanol, QSL, Northbud, Les Terrasses de la Fonderie (365,000 sq ft complex), Deragon Honda, Audi Niquet, SAQ, and Parc Aquatique Mont Saint-Sauveur. No external funding, parent company, or acquisition activity is disclosed; ownership and leadership continuity are maintained within the founding family.
