spot is projects in the $5 million to $40 million range—too big for the small firms, but not big enough for the industry giants. That niche has served us well.” This approach has fostered long-term client relationships, particularly in the school sector, where trust and reliability are paramount. “When we hand over a building, we don’t want to hear from the client again—not in a bad way, but because the building should just work,” Perez says. “Schools are designed for 75-year lifespans. We want them to be durable, efficient, and maintenance-friendly. That’s how you build a reputation.” Building projects isn’t just about engineering and logistics—it’s also an emotional investment; a deep connection to the work has fueled Pro-Can’s success over four decades. “Every project takes a piece of you,” he says. “Years later, when you drive by, you remember all the challenges—and take pride in what you built.” As Pro-Can marks its 40th anniversary, the company isn’t looking to dramatically expand— instead, it’s focused on perfecting its craft and maintaining a healthy work-life balance. “Construction has a constant pressure to grow,” Perez says. “But sometimes, you have to say no to projects to stay true to what you do best. For us, the next 40 years are about refining our expertise, keeping our business lean and efficient, and delivering high-quality projects that stand the test of time.” For more information, please visit www.procangroup.com Leo Perez- Principal & Sara Pou- Partner 73 APR 2025 | BUSINESS ELITE CANADA
