Keltic Canada Development

KELTIC and in other parts of the world,” he explains. “Keltic is a relatively new company, but most of the faces here have been working in the industry for a long time.” In addition to their experience, Keltic is also set apart by their speed. They are able to deliver projects quickly, but without compromising quality or safety. Mike credits that ability to the relationships they have formed with their contractors. He says the companies they work with enforce “very strict schedules,” and they are open to working with Keltic to accelerate those schedules whenever possible. For example, Mike explains that they encourage their contractors to pre-fabricate as much as they can – on The Paramount, for instance, their mechanical subcontractor has prefabricated the entire district energy hub in their yard, and they will be bringing it onto site almost completely constructed. Also on The Paramount, Keltic rented an adjacent yard for the rebar contractor to use as a prefabrication space. They realized that there was no room to fabricate those products on site, so they went ahead and paid for a yard so the contractor could prefabricate them close by in order to save time. “So we will certainly work with a contractor to find means to accelerate the schedule, and in many instances we’ll contribute to the costs,” Mike says. “That’s not something a lot of developers will do, or even think to do.” Keltic also uses products and technologies – particularly environmental technologies – that other developers do not.
