Whitson Construction: A Legacy of Quality, Family Values and Trust  

For over thirty years, Whitson Construction has been trusted to simplify complex projects through experience, expertise and a commitment to delivering exceptional results. 

Now a second-generation family enterprise, Whitson Construction has grown to support a wide range of industrial and commercial projects, including work in water and wastewater utilities, power utilities, industrial plants, public infrastructure and commercial construction. 

At the heart of the business is a simple but powerful value proposition: quality that reflects their values. For Whitson Construction, that means bringing ingenuity, teamwork, safety, family and quality to every project. In high-stakes construction environments, clients depend on clear communication, practical solutions and a team that knows how to manage complexity. Whitson’s team has earned that trust by turning challenging projects into clear, actionable solutions. 

Growth Driven by People and Performance

Today, the company has completed more than $750 million in construction projects across Alberta and British Columbia. Their impressive 90 per cent employee retention rate, reflects the company’s strong internal culture and commitment to its people. Whitson Construction attributes much of its annual growth to being agile and collaborative, with the goal of delivering simplified solutions to complex challenges. As construction needs continue to evolve across the region, the company has positioned itself as a go-to partner for clients who need dependable service and experienced project leadership.

Whitson Construction recently committed to expanding its office building and industrial location within Pro North Industrial Park, just north of St. Albert.  

“Sturgeon County gives us the space and access we need, while keeping us closely connected to the clients and communities we serve. Expanding here is more than a business decision for Whitson, it reflects our confidence in the County’s future and our long-term commitment to Alberta’s construction industry.” 
– Connor Whitson, Chief Solutions Officer, Whitson Construction 

For local entrepreneurs, Whitson Construction’s story is a reminder that long-term success is built through consistency, relationships and a clear understanding of what customers need. By staying true to its values while adapting to new opportunities, the company continues to build more than infrastructure. It is building a legacy.
