Ross & Anglin

What Ross & Anglin does

Ross & Anglin is a privately held general contractor founded in Montreal in 1934, operating continuously for over 90 years under Thompson family ownership since 1975. The firm delivers industrial, commercial, and institutional construction across Quebec and Eastern Ontario from two offices — its Lachine, Quebec headquarters and a regional office in Ottawa. Core service lines include commercial construction (offices, retail, commercial facility renovation), industrial construction (manufacturing plant upgrades, heavy infrastructure, machine bases, foundation rehabilitation within active operational environments), and institutional construction (educational, healthcare, and government buildings). Specialty offerings span foundation rehabilitation, bridge and dam repair, building upgrades, machine bases, interior finishes, emergency response, and project planning and control.

The company's underlying technology stack is conventional: traditional construction methodologies, heavy equipment, unionized skilled-trade labor, and Procore as its project-management software platform. No proprietary technology, AI/ML systems, or digital products are disclosed. The firm holds no patents, trademarks of note, or external funding; it operates as a relationship-driven, bid-based contractor with a portfolio of high-profile projects (Expo 67, La Cité, Maison Alcan, Canadian Museum of History) and a roster of anchor clients including Bombardier, Pratt & Whitney Canada, Parks Canada, the National Capital Commission, Hydro Ottawa, Parmalat, Domtar, and Kruger.

Revenue is generated through one-time, project-based contracts awarded via competitive bidding and direct client relationships; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is direct sales through the Quebec and Ontario offices with minimal digital marketing presence. The firm is fully unionized, affiliated with major Quebec and Ontario construction associations (AECQ, APECQ, CCA, CCQ, FUCMA, ACQ, OCA), and has remained independently held under family control for nearly five decades with no disclosed institutional investors, subsidiaries, or M&A activity.
