Govan Brown & Associates

Having worked hand-in-glove this past year to deliver impactful spaces, there’s snow better clients and partners we could ask for! From our team to yours, happy holidays! #HappyHolidays #TisTheSeason #Construction #WeBuildDifferently

Dashing through KW, with a twenty-person team, over the SW Ontario fields we go, building all the way. #HappyHolidays #Construction #WeBuildDifferently

The weather outside may be frightful, but these Edmonton offices our team delivered? So delightful. #HappyHolidays #Construction #WeBuildDifferently

You know Blakes and Sandvik and Cushman & Wakefield, 510 West Hastings and numerous other projects, but do you recall the strongest partnership of all? #HappyHolidays #Construction #WeBuildDIfferently

Our Calgary team made a (quality) list and checked it twice. 2024 was a year where they built spaces that were QA/QCed and ensured they were precise. #HappyHolidays #Construction #WeBuildDifferently

T’was the twentieth of December, and all throughout Ottawa, our office has been stirring, busy building spaces to learn, play, and work. #HappyHolidays #Construction #WeBuildDifferently

To wrap up the year, Govan Brown is doing a little unwrapping of our own… and this year, we decked our clients’ Toronto halls with more than boughs of holly. #HappyHolidays #Construction #WeBuildDifferently

Twelve years ago, Jason Pereira joined Govan Brown, fresh from George Brown College. Today we are proud to announce his appointment to Senior Vice President, Operations. Jason has contributed to GB in a number of ways – as a Project Management Assistant to SVP, Operations. Jason began at Govan Brown as part of a team renovating an 11,200sf yoga studio and recently led the largest TI project in Canada, CIBC SQUARE. Jason joined Govan Brown with a work ethic that has become his signature. Jason has made each role his own, continuously growing his technical and operational acumen. Over the course of his decade-plus at Govan Brown, Jason has grown to embody our organization’s values while also helping to shape them. And while he’s led many of our landmark projects, it’s his championing of his teammates that has ensured we embody our promise to build differently. Consistent across his twelve years at Govan Brown is his dedication to operational efficiency, a strong sense of camaraderie amongst team members, and offering an outside the box perspective. We’re thrilled by Jason’s growth and cannot wait to see how he makes his new role his own. Congratulations, Jason! #GovanBrown #WeBuildDifferently #Construction #GBPromotions

Today, Govan Brown Building Group (GBBG) joined Toronto city leaders to celebrate and kick off construction of 11 Brock, the newest supportive housing project meant to help alleviate homelessness in the city. The first ground up build of this housing initiative, GBBG has worked alongside our partners—SvN Architects + Planners and Parkdale Activity-Recreation Centre (PARC)—to create a mass timber, all-electric building that achieves net zero and low embodied carbon goals. The four-storey development will provide 42 homes and support services for health, wellbeing, and housing stability. #SupportiveHousing #Community #Toronto #WeBuildDifferently

When Cushman & Wakefield partnered with our Vancouver team in transitioning their local office’s footprint from two floors to one, a history of collaboration guided our approach. As their original lease was expiring, schedule was key and our experience working hand-in-hand over the years proved essential to meeting their project’s hard deadline. Our team was honoured to support the Cushman & Wakefield Vancouver team create their new HQ and home, which they do for so many others.
