Maxim delivers its services in a number of different ways, each dependent on the needs of the client. Regardless of the service provided, clients can be assured of the quality and professionalism of Maxim’s staff and extensive in-house resources that are available to our project team. We believe that every client is different and the successful completion of any project requires the ability to tailor the delivery method accordingly. Whether it’s a turnkey method or a more collaborative team approach, our employees have the experience and knowledge required.
In today’s construction environment, there is a major emphasis on energy conservation and environmental awareness. At Maxim, we have become proficient in both as we see this as paramount for the construction industry moving forward.
Our experience in health care facilities, both active and extended care, has given us a high level of expertise in infection control procedures and implementation of the same. Stringent control of the building environment is necessary to eliminate conditions that might support growth of mould and bacteria. The measures necessary to achieve complete compliance and the health and welfare of the end users are given the highest priority.
We understand the need to balance future needs with ongoing operations through the numerous renovations and upgrade projects we have completed. Examples of our ability to balance these sometimes two conflicting goals is evident in the success outlined in our completed projects (ie. Hotel renovation projects).
Maxim is committed to ensuring strict quality control on every aspect of our construction projects, from the initial document preparation, through to final commissioning. In this regard, our employees have the certification and training that is an important part of this industry. We believe that training from an administrative, technological, and best building practice point of view is essential to keeping our employees well versed in our ever-evolving industry.
Safety is of paramount importance in every aspect of our construction projects. Maxim has a stringent Safety Program in place and is certified by the Construction Safety Association. Making sure that everyone involved in our projects goes home safely at the end of the day is top of mind for us all.
