Who we are

B.M.I. Construction Co. Limited has a rich history dating back to 1967 when its founder, Ian Watts, arrived in Canada from England. His journey began as a carpentry apprentice in 1973, and over the years, he played a pivotal role in constructing some of Canada's most iconic landmarks, including the CN Tower, Eaton Centre, and West Edmonton Mall. In 1988, Ian joined forces with Kevin Coughlin, a former apprentice, to establish B.M.I. Construction. Since then, as a General Contractor, the company has been committed to delivering professional construction services, from pre-construction to close-out, along with building maintenance. Integrity, Passion, Teamwork, Respect, and Responsibility are the core values that drive us, ensuring our dedication to customer satisfaction and responsible practices in every project.

Client testimonials

  • "Over the past twenty years, we have been working with BMI Construction on various buildings, including Loblaws and No Frills stores, various retail buildings and outlets as well as Turner Fleischer's offices. Their attitude, work ethics, scheduling and construction procedures have been excellent. Their professionalism and dedication was very evident throughout the projects we have worked on and continue to work on together."

  • “Our firm has been working with BMI for more than 2 decades. With many Generals in the market it’s always a pleasure to be working with BMI as they understand client requirements and understand project deliverables in a way many Generals do not. When working with BMI we know that we’re working with a partner who comes to the table with solutions and supports the construction process towards successful completion. From a design partner perspective, having a General who is trying to work with us with a solution accelerates project timelines, and amplifies success.”

    Peter Pignataro, Director of Projects
    Greystone Inc.

  • "BMI have been general contractors and project managers on various food store buildings, that we have been involved with as electrical engineers. They have, over the many years, always been extremely proactive, reliable and responsible contractors with project managers and site staff, who fully understand the nature and scope of the projects they are contracting. Project timelines have always been extremely tight and challenging, with many projects having to be completed in active and operating buildings, requiring added coordination and cooperation.”
