Founded in 1987, Gafcon is a family-founded firm delivering complex projects that strengthen and empower communities. We are a project and construction management consulting firm, acting as Owner’s Representatives to guide and advocate for our clients throughout every phase of their projects.

In 2024, our family-owned company joined GISI (Global Infrastructure Solutions Inc.), a global network of industry leaders.

We work hard, celebrate together, and strive to make a lasting, positive impact in everything we do.
