It is a pleasure to write a letter of recommendation for Argue Construction, regarding the renovation work for the Pembroke Family Medicine Teaching Unit (PFMTU). Gerry and Shawn were a true pleasure to work with: professional, timely and knowledgeable.

The PFMTU renovation took place on the 4th floor of Tower D at the Pembroke Regional Hospital (PRH) in 2021. The setting was complex and challenging, as the work took place above the operating rooms and at the height of covid restrictions, both of which imposed lots of rules and regulations on the project. Argue was exemplary in their communication and collaboration with the maintenance team at PRH, the OR managers and the PFMTU team.

The outcome is a beautiful, new, 7000 square foot family practice, which gets rave reviews from patients and clinicians alike.

As Project Director for the Club, I was very pleased with the professionalism of the Argue Construction team from the President, Shawn Argue, to their Project Manager, Gerry Nault, and Site Superintendent, Ben Brandino.  Their Chief Estimator, Keith Riley, produced a very high quality, detailed proposal which clearly represented 'best value' of the five responses received by the Club. 

It was a pleasure working with Argue Construction and I would not hesitate to recommend them to other Owners in the future. 

The ‘Inukshuk Award’ is a very special award at Robertson.
An Inukshuk is a welcome beacon for travelers in the far north because it says, “You’re on the right path”.

And so it is with our Inukshuk award winning builder. They may not be the largest builder or the builder with the greatest volume, but they are on the right path and embody the full meaning of ‘partnership’.

This year, we are very proud to present the Inukshuk award to:

Argue Construction Ltd.

It is with great pride that I extend my congratulations to you and your staff at Argue Construction, Ltd. on the recent and successful completion of the new Nortrax Ottawa facility near Carp, ON.

All of you did a great job in your responsibilities, starting with design assistance, to laying out the site, including the selection of the team of sub-contractors and skilled tradesmen that worked safely and diligently to complete the newest service centre for Nortrax Canada, Inc.

Bringing on a new team for John Deere can be challenging, but your team handled it with ease. Your desire to work with John Deere and Nortrax was clearly evident, as was your hospitality and willingness to share your boardroom for regular project meetings and also by providing an office space for me when I was in Ottawa for the project. You truly made me feel welcome and part of your family, thank you.

Speaking on the behalf of the entire Nortrax Ottawa team, we are extremely pleased to be operating out of our magnificent new facility, one that will serve us well now and for many years into the future. Thank you for everything.
