Our Expertise at Work
Discover the projects that have benefited from our team's expertise and Dalton's legacy knowledge, developed through leading construction teams across Ontario for over 85 years.
Services
Dalton's professional construction management services provide comprehensive leadership and oversight of a project’s schedule, budget, quality, and safety - from conception to completion - to ensure a project is successfully delivered according to our clients' Definition of Success.
In any construction project, there are inherent risks that must be managed effectively. At Dalton, we understand that while we can't entirely shield every project from the impact of fluctuating market conditions and a challenging economy, we have a proven track record - spanning over 85 years - of successfully mitigating these risks through a collaborative approach and a balanced contract with risks appropriately shared between the Project Owner, Dalton (Construction Manager) and Consultants.
The Dalton Difference
What sets us apart from our competitors is our exclusive commitment to the Construction Manager-at-Risk delivery method. This approach represents a significant advantage for our clients, as we bring all stakeholders together at the beginning of the project to set timelines, identify risks, responsibilities and costs, among other issues, to create value.
As a Construction Manager-at-Risk, Dalton assumes complete responsibility for engaging trade contractors and ensuring their performance aligns with the project's goals and standards. This approach not only enhances project accountability but also provides you with peace of mind, knowing that we are fully dedicated to delivering a successful project outcome.

Dalton boasts an in-house Professional Quantity Surveying (PQS) & Cost Consulting team that will work with you and the broader team to establish a budget aligned with your organization’s Definition of Success for a project. Members of our PQS and cost consulting team—all of whom are members of the Canadian Institute of Quantity Surveyors—are involved early in the pre-construction phase to evaluate and offer recommendations to enhance constructability and sequencing.
Leveraging years of experience, a comprehensive database and Dalton’s vast network of trades and suppliers, our PQS & Cost Consulting team will generate accurate budgets based on the current marketplace. They will act as your trusted advisors, balancing your project goals with design, budgetary and scheduling requirements to ensure project success.
Assessing the viability of a project is, at times, a crucial first step before work begins.
Our experience leading the feasibility study process will ensure your organization has all the information required to understand the design schematics, budget, schedule and the logistics involved with construction implementation.
Leveraging our expertise and experience, we lead an initial, in-depth analysis assessing a project's viability, covering technical, economic, legal, operational, and scheduling factors. Once complete, the feasibility study can determine if a project is "go" or "no-go" by analyzing potential risks, required resources, and expected returns. As many of our clients will agree, a properly executed feasibility study prevents costly mistakes by validating ideas before full investment.
When a broader, more comprehensive plan is required for a project.
Dalton’s master planning services can help your organization develop a long-term plan that aligns with your future development goals. Acting as your trusted advisor, Dalton will leverage our experience and extensive network of specialty consultants to help your organization gather and evaluate accurate information so you can make well-informed decisions.
Our team will help you establish the broader goals and actionable objectives of your project, assemble and lead a multi-disciplinary project team, investigate existing conditions, evaluate best options and write and present a plan that will achieve approvals from key stakeholders.
Dalton offers development management services across various sectors, fostering the advancement of a project from initial ideas through to completion. In our role as Development Manager, we will act as your trusted advisor to minimize your risks, lead the development process, integrate the broader project team, and help you gather and analyze information to make well-informed decisions.
Our experienced project team members can perform a variety of services to support your needs. This includes leading and coordinating strategy development, feasibility studies, zoning and permitting approvals, consultant selection and oversight, budget and scheduling.
