A lifetime dedicated to metal building installation. As a business owner and contractor, Frank Melo brings over 25 years of experience from his construction, civil engineering and technology background. A key partner of the Summit Steel Buildings leadership team, Frank is both the visionary and strategist who leads engineers and can be replied upon to execute pre-engineered building projects to perfection.

Engineer, father, adventurer, gastronome. Frank Melo loves to experience as much of what the world has to offer. From the work ethic he learned from his father to cooking in the kitchen with his family, his Portuguese background has influenced how he views the world, the value of strong relationships and the passion to enjoy the bounty of his hard work.

Frank fondly remembers the soul-warming aroma of freshly baked breads and stewing meats. Growing up, he spent his early childhood on the island of São Miguel in the Azores, an archipelago made up of nine volcanic islands in the Macaronesia region of the North Atlantic Ocean, about 1,400 km (870 mi) west of Lisbon.

Although Frank was only two when his family immigrated to Canada, memories are not the only thing that remain of those early days. Frank still speaks Portuguese and chooses to order fresh fish whenever he can. He will tell you he is an introvert, yet his love of athletics (cycling, squash and lifting weights) will draw out his adventurous side. Frank admits he is always the first to volunteer to go rock climbing or explore other adrenalin-pumping activities.
