We offer years of professional construction experience with projects ranging from industrial manufacturing facilities, offices, and commercial retail centres, to hospitals, schools, and municipal buildings.

STM utilizes its diversified system of construction services to best suit the needs of the customer.

• Design/Build
  A successful project requires a combination of design, construction, and a strong working relationship with the client. STM's Design/Build approach integrates design and construction management into one team. Clients work directly with select Architects, Engineers, Estimators and Project Managers to guarantee quality, timely scheduling, and budget. Costs can be determined sooner, and potential design changes can be better anticipated and corrected. This results in better cost efficiency, comprehensive project coordination and improved problem solving capability. STM's Design/Build process ensure that your project will be designed and constructed by practiced professionals who are devoted to the success of your project from beginning to end.

From excavation and foundations to carpentry and fine millwork, STM mobilizes quality forces that signify the best of the competitive marketplace.

• Construction Management
  STM has an experienced Construction Management Team which will help determine the right construction methods for your necessary budget and schedule. STM oversees all of the project work, trades, and contractors to ensure projects stay within budget and on time.
• Project Management
  STM Project Managers will help clients to achieve goals for any project. All phases of the project are coordinated while ensuring there is communication between all parties involved. STM guarantees budgets, schedules and quality concerns are looked after while oversee the project, including; initiating, planning, and execution through to client handover.
• Estimating
  STM's Estimating Department is a very important part of the Project Team, working to establish project budgets from the conceptual stage through to the final construction document stage. The estimating department arranges the construction schedule, combines the schedule and periodic estimates, and monitors the progress of both until the on site team takes over.
  
  Continuing into the schematic and design development stages, estimating support will be provided in more detail using our in house historical cost data as a cost basis. Our historical costs are a constantly evolving data base of previous and current job costs that are stored in a global unit price form in order to provide very specific line item productivity/cost format. This resource of information allows us to provide pricing at these early stages to assure that budget parameters are met and to obtain effectiveness. It is during these stages that we feel we have the largest impact on the project's overall cost through our value engineering philosophy of cutting costs without hindering the projects integrity.
  
  At the conclusion of the construction documents we will arrange final subcontractor bid packages, generate subcontractor interest in the project and prepare the final project cost estimates. Upon completion of this phase, STM then reviews the project sensitivities, current cost projections and schedules.
• Scheduling
  STM uses Microsoft Project for scheduling all projects, this allows STM to produce and manage projects of all sizes and difficulties. Whether a small project with a handful of activities or an all encompassing project with hundreds of activities and resources the schedule can be closely watched and maintained.
  
  The Schedulers and Project Managers at STM develop simple planning and updating techniques to provide clients with the critical information for their projects, in a way that will be easy for all members of a team to understand.
• Safety
  It is the standard and the requirement at STM Construction Ltd. that employees perform all work safely, and in compliance with the latest edition of the Occupational Health and Safety Act and Regulations for Construction Projects. The absolute safety of our employees, clients and the public is our primary concern.
  
  Over the years STM and its predecessor T.E. Taylor Construction have achieved zero frequency of lost-time injuries. This is an impressive record we are proud of and work to maintain. Safe work practices are followed by STM construction, not simply because it is the law, but because it just makes sense.
