The CDCR Special Feature
Edmonton based Fillmore Construc-
tion began more than 25 years ago as
a one-man operation. Today, the com-
pany works in a variety of sectors, de-
livers its expertise to large national
chains, and has developed a reputation
for being able to deliver on tight dead-
lines for even the most challenging
projects. Chris Fillmore, president, says the
company his father Brent founded
grew by leaps and bounds over the lst
decade, both in its scope and size. The
company’s projects range from con-
struction of grocery stores and car
dealerships to apartments, schools
and seniors’ facilities. Its services in-
clude new construction, building ex-
pansion, facility maintenance, and
tenant improvement. The company’s
staff numbers more than 100 and in-
cludes 10 project managers, 25 office
staff and 30 site supervisors.

While the company has grown, it
has maintained its core value of
‘doing it right’ that Brent founded the
company on. “Part of our success in
meeting the tight deadlines we work
under comes from identifying poten-
tial issues before they happen, fixing
things before there is a problem if
you will. This advance work means
that things in the field happen the
way we want them to and helps us
deliver faster.”
Fillmore Construction works for sev-
eral national companies including
Loblaw, Shoppers Drug Mart, CIBC,
RBC, TD, Sobey’s, Liquor Depot, Mc-
Donald’s, and Sherritt. One example of
the company’s ability to meet dead-
lines he says, is a 90,000 sq. ft. Loblaw
the team took from a dirt field to grand
opening day in seven months plus four
days from being awarded the contract.
“We understand that these clients
are held to strict schedule require-
ments, that the owner's project man-
ager is under pressure to open on
time, so we focus on achieving what
they need.”
