The RM of Tecumseh building project has been completed.
PCL’s special projects team was awarded the job and they were happy to do so, as the first job they ever did was completed near Stoughton 116 years ago.
In 1906, Poole Construction was established and founded by Ernie Poole when he erected a farmhouse just north of Stoughton.
When E.E. Poole General Contractor hung a sign on his office in Stoughton, he had no idea how his company would grow to the size it is today.
In 1977, an employee ownership program was implemented, and the company name would now be PCL Construction. They have 30 offices across the globe and employ 9,500 people. It is the largest general contractor in Canada.
The RM of Tecumseh once again returned the builders to their roots with the new construction, which began in August 2021. It is located at the north end of Stoughton on Government Road.
New office space is what PCL Special Projects does the best, but this build was going to hold a lot of history for both the area and PCL.
With 5,000 square feet of office space, the single story, framed building will house offices, a mailroom, meeting rooms, storage space and an archives room.
