What Tektum does

Tektum is a Canadian roof and building envelope consulting firm headquartered in Stoney Creek, Ontario, with additional offices in Calgary, Vancouver, and Saskatoon. Founded in 2017 by Kevin Voorberg and joined by Vice President Jason Hogan in 2020, the firm provides nine integrated consulting services for flat and low-slope roofing systems: roof condition analysis, thermographic infrared imaging investigation, roof asset management, contract document preparation and tendering, contract administration, quality assurance and inspection, 24/7 leak management systems, warranty management, and expert witness services. The company differentiates through an independent third-party model with no affiliations to manufacturers, suppliers, or contractors, combined with a team whose 60+ combined years of practical contractor-side experience is atypical for a consulting firm.

The firm's underlying technology stack is conventional rather than proprietary: thermographic infrared cameras for moisture detection, AutoCAD for keyplan drawings, and structured assessment methodologies that produce comprehensive reports with capital planning budgets. Services are project-based and quoted per engagement scope, delivered through a consultative enterprise sales motion reliant on referrals, industry association networks (CRCA, IIBEC, CCA, CCI, CSC, ICSC, OACETT, CHES, Hamilton Halton Construction Association), and detailed case studies. Tektum sells to five primary customer segments: building owners/operators/managers (primary persona), government and institutional facilities, industrial and manufacturing, healthcare and long-term care, and residential condominiums and multi-family housing. Documented engagements span retail complexes, municipal offices, long-term care facilities, industrial plants, automotive manufacturing, hotels, public works service centers, and condominium complexes across Canada.

Tektum is privately held, founder-owned, and operates with 1-10 employees. There is no external capital raised, no parent company, and no disclosed financial data. The firm's revenue mechanics rely on multi-phase, multi-year engagement programs (e.g., 4-phase hospital roof replacements, 5-year industrial programs, phased municipal work) that provide partial recurring visibility, though the underlying pricing model is quote-based and scope-dependent rather than subscription-based.
