About Us
Delivering places that help people and businesses thrive.
CW2 is a dynamic business built on partnerships and handshakes. In fact, that is how the whole shebang started, a handshake between business and industry experts that formed the foundation of CW2. Our people specialize in Construction Management, Design-Build, Project Management and General Contracting.
We’re already building for tomorrow.
We view every project through a future-focused lens. This approach challenges us to redefine the way we see, think and work to bring your project to life. We’re here to be your partner. We start off by being good listeners and then find ways to create the most value for your investment.

CW2 Construction and Design Ltd. offers our clients end-to-end project fulfillment. Our people bring their technical knowledge, experience, and resourcefulness to the delivery of our construction services. Driven by a commitment to continuous improvement, CW2 embraces innovative and current construction methods to improve efficiency and enhance client value.

We are equipped and experienced in providing guidance from initiation through close out.
Construction Management
We work alongside our client’s architect/engineer and advise on the feasibility of the chosen design, provide pricing information throughout the design phase, hire and manage all of the subcontractors that will be involved in the project, as well as inspect the work during the construction phase. Construction Management stresses quality over lowest price, but we work hard to get the best value for our clients.
Design-Build
One entity – one contract – one unified flow of work
Our design-build projects integrate the roles of designer and constructor from initial concept through construction. We do this while working under a single contract with you, the project owner, to provide design and construction services.
General Contracting
As your General Contractor we take charge of the complete process of your construction project. We work in commercial, industrial, and residential construction, overseeing projects from tenant infills to complete builds. We provide oversight performance management of the project, our team, and our subcontractors, making sure benchmarks are met and you, our client, is kept informed.
Owner Representation
As the owner’s representative we are engaged at the very beginning of the process. We work alongside you, the owner, to identify a budget and your objectives, a realistic schedule based on the project’s goals, and a clear understanding of what success looks like to you, and us. We also identify potential issues and constraints, or value engineering options. We have an experienced team of design, construction, and specialty consultants to deliver on your vision.
Project Management
We use our knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to manage the project requirements. No two projects are the same and often a project team includes people who may not usually work together – sometimes from different trades and across multiple geographies. We stickhandle all of those team nuances and communication channels for you. Our project management approach includes clearly understanding scope, budgeting, scheduling, and performance requirements. In addition we can coordinate the procurement of labour, materials, and equipment, according to the agreed upon schedule and plan.

Phinn
Chief Cat
Meet Phinn, named after our friend and colleague that left us in the summer of 2019, Scott Phinney, who also had a deep affection for cats. Phinn was living at the Brandon Pound and we believe he was a street cat so we were happy to give him a job in our shop as Chief Mouser. He spends more time in the office sleeping on a chair, or at the front door than he does mousing, but we appreciate his lack of effort. The team has really taken to Phinn, not to mention some clients and vendors who make special trips to just to see him. He has had some adventures like when he got locked in the closet with his food for an entire night…oh the mess. Phinn has been a great addition to our team, getting into mild and manageable trouble mostly with mud and mice, or the odd skunk. We are grateful for Phinn.
Penny
Chief Cat
After our beloved Phinn passed in July of 2025, we didn’t think we would be getting another cat, but Penny had other plans. She hopped in the engine of a car and travelled to our office from Carroll; there was no way we could resist her. She’s a little skittish at first but once you gain her trust, she’s yours. When you come into our office you can find Penny checking you out from the back counter, snoozing in her office, or supervising Raegan at the front desk.
