Our Clients Say It Best“Dowland Contracting Ltd. Completed the construction of the Aurora Campus building in 2004. We remain very satisfied with the construction and are pleased that Dowland is currently building our new single student residence. Good communication is exceedingly important to us as a client and we find them to be readily approachable and action oriented. After construction of the new campus, any requested follow-up was appropriately dealt with, proving that they live up to their commitment and guarantees for quality workmanship.”

Miki O’Kane, Campus Director

“The North Slope Borough contracted Dowland Construction Inc. for the Simon Paneak Museum Project. They finished the job within budget and on time as proposed in the bid documents. I give Dowland high marks not just for the job well done. Dowland Construction employees went as far as helping Seniors Housing doing fix up and weatherization at no cost to the homeowners. Dowland construction is a very capable contractor and they do a very good job. ”

William Hopson, Project Administrator NSB CIPM

With respect to financial and schedule planning, their project staff are honest and very capable. It is a pleasure working with such a competent and professional team.”

“N53 Architecture Inc. has worked with Dowland Contracting Ltd. on two projects. Their most recent is Holy Trinity Academy, a new $12M high school in Drayton Valley, AB. We have found working with Dowland to be a positive working experience. The take a very professional approach to the process of consultant and client relations, and are consistent in their claims of being a part of the “team” . Whenever site issues arise, their approach is to have a solution in mind before the call is made. Pricing for construction changes are fair and reasonable. I have no hesitation in recommending Dowland Contracting Ltd. For any project that your organization may have in mind.”
