Major multimillion-dollar projects in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba have broken ground across various market sectors, and BTY has been engaged to provide Project Monitoring, Technical Advisory and Project Management services on mandates that are great signs of growth in an economy still recovering from the drop in oil prices.
BTY is currently advising on more than $7.4 billion of real estate and infrastructure projects across the region.
“We have seen clients express the need for more caution and planning during economic times like these,” says Michael Gabert, Director in Charge of the Prairies region. “So we go the extra mile to ensure they always have the timely data they need to make sound decisions every step of the way.”
