The Framework of Society

Military bases, courthouses, prisons, municipal buildings, and government offices—they are more than just infrastructure. Alongside health and research facilities and educational institutions, they make up the framework of our society, keeping us safe, productive, and thriving. 

At Pomerleau, we don’t take construction projects lightly. We give them the time, care, and attention they require. From start to finish, we handle everything with purpose, making sure every detail is taken care of and the best results are achieved. 

We take pride in having the technical and electromechanical skills, the proven experience, and the industry credentials to build the government buildings that will shape society now and in the future. 

Institutional Buildings: The Pillars of Society 

Institutional construction is an investment in economic growth and stronger communities. Government buildings create jobs, boost local businesses, promote health and safety, and enhance cultural development, driving long-term prosperity.  

Whether it's strengthening public safety through police stations and military infrastructure or shaping society through courthouses and municipal buildings, institutional buildings impact every sector and corner of society.  

They are not just infrastructure—they are the very fabric of society, guiding economies, safeguarding communities, and empowering future generations.

Successfully Navigating Roadblocks

Institutional construction projects vary widely, each presenting unique priorities, technical requirements, strict sustainability standards, and varying expectations.  

 Seamless coordination is necessary to ensure institutional establishments can be kept open and functional during construction or renovation, as well as to keep noise and dust levels down and manage traffic effectively, minimizing disruptions to the community.  

 Since many governmental buildings are historic landmarks, extensive experience is needed to successfully expand and renovate the infrastructure while still preserving the past.  With these older buildings, unforeseen challenges may also pop up, like hazardous materials such as asbestos and other environmental risks, which must be managed responsibly and thoroughly.   

As industry leaders, our team is equipped with top credentials as well as the know-how to find a creative solution to surpass each obstacle in construction.
