Matcon Group and Knappett Industries announced they have officially merged, effective April 2, 2025. This combination creates a more diversified and strategically positioned construction entity poised to serve Western Canada more broadly.

This merger brings together two trusted industry leaders with shared values, complementary strengths, and a deep commitment to delivering excellence.

While both Matcon and Knappett will continue operating as they have for the past 20+ and 30+ years, this partnership brings increased capacity, broader expertise, and greater resources to meet all project needs.

The merger will allow for a wider geographic reach to serve a larger footprint across the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, and Northern B.C. — while continuing to work in all established regions and municipalities.

“Our commitment to quality, safety, and client satisfaction remains unchanged. You’ll continue working with the same people you know and trust, now backed by even more capability,” according to the release.

Matcon focuses on excavation and shoring to the residential, commercial and industrial market as well as infrastructure construction, demolition, environmental contracting and deep foundations.

Founded in 1983, Knappett, an employee-owned general contractor with offices across Vancouver Island and Northern B.C., concentrates on civil infrastructure such as road building, paving and maintenance, utility installation (electrical, water, sewer), site development, and pipeline work. The company has completed  hundreds of projects throughout British Columbia and have established a tradition of excellence in construction.
