Who We Are ()

Being one of the larger privately-owned construction companies in North America, Reliance offers general contracting services in all aspects of project planning, execution and delivery.

Over the last year, we've grown continuously due to our employees' performance, but mostly through their passion, focus, and determination.

This expansion however has not let us forget that we are still a family-owned company established in 1948.

Our presence in the construction industry over more than half a century has led us to an unparalleled understanding of the industry, allowing us to provide our clients with a sense of complete trust and confidence.

They rely on us to complete a project they've envisioned, and we accept that responsibility to make it a reality.
