The history of Commonwealth projects is a reflection of adaptation to changing markets.

Starting as an architectural and commercial contractor, Commonwealth was very successful in building hotels, large commercial enterprises and related commercial buildings. As the Canadian West grew and particularly after the Second World War, there was rapid expansion in mining, pulp and paper and related resource industries. To take advantage of these new opportunities, Commonwealth bought several companies and expanded its own skill set to become a full-service industrial contractor.

In the past 30 years, Commonwealth has worked all over the world delivering numerous pulp and paper, mining, power generation, heavy industrial manufacturing and refinery projects. With its move into the CH2M HILL suite of companies in 2007, the capacity to take on larger projects was significantly expanded making Commonwealth one of the premier construction companies in Western Canada.

Backed by the global resources and the financial capabilities of the CH2M HILL, Commonwealth is fully equipped to successfully deliver projects either with CH2M HILL in an EPC arrangement or in a variety of arrangements on its own.
