Much has been written about
value engineering, constructability
and collaboration in
the early stages of a project.
At Keller Canada, we live it.
“We are looking for ways to save our
clients’ money, not spend it,” said Shaun
Arnault, regional manager at Keller
Foundations. “Our in-house engineers
offer cost-effective design-build services
for safe, high quality, constructible solutions.
The result? Keller offers the lowest
installed cost and optimal value to our
clients at the same time.”
Our mission, vision and competitive
advantage have always focused on
value for money. As Keller holds expertise
in all piling, earth retention and
ground improvement techniques and
technologies, we seek to optimize value
by offering truly unbiased technical
recommendations; made possible by
evaluating all available options and relying
on proven load tests, experience and
prior performance.
Collaboration and trust –
building on our strengths
Construction owners need to carefully
evaluate a contractor’s record of proven
results on similar projects to gain confidence
with solutions they may not be
familiar with.
“Open and honest communication
early on helps establish trust, allowing
our clients to identify opportunities to
build on our past successes. Hiring Keller
to collaborate with your construction,
geo-technical, civil and structural engineering
teams in the pre-design stages
will be key to your project’s success,”
said Stephen Olney, director of business
development at Keller Canada.
Collaborative models that aim to
maximize value engineering often
draw on contracting methods that may
differ from the traditional “three bids
and a buy” approach that can hamper
innovation. Although Keller is awarded
