Our Story
Established in 1987 in Thunder Bay, Ontario and incorporated in British Columbia in 2001, Tikal Construction Ltd. has grown into a trusted name across Western Canada — delivering institutional, commercial, and industrial projects for municipalities, health authorities, school districts, national chains, and private clients.
Our company name comes from the jungles of northern Guatemala where the Mayan temples of Tikal were constructed a thousand years ago. Today, those temples still stand — the same lasting quality we build into every project. We are committed to a value added, efficient, cooperative way of building lasting value for the communities of tomorrow.
Every site, every project, zero compromise on safety.
Active across Western Canada with national emergency response capability.
Constructing green for communities and future generations.
Trusted by leading organizations across Canada
Giving Back
Tikal Construction Ltd. is dedicated to the improvement of the community. We are proud to support the Mission Environmental Stewardship Society's Adopt-a-Block program in our office's neighbourhood.
By committing time and resources to regularly clean neighbourhood streets and public spaces, our team helps reduce litter and protect the natural beauty that makes Mission such a special place to live and work.
At Tikal, we believe that building great structures also means building a great community — one block at a time.
Tikal also supports the Mission Youth House (MY House) — a safe drop-in centre providing meals, support, and care for vulnerable youth in Mission — and the work of Youth Unlimited across Metro Vancouver.
Expanding Our Reach — International Projects Tikal Construction is working with CFHI — Canadian Food for the Hungry International on a new project in Kibwezi West, Makueni County, Kenya. We are proud to bring our construction expertise to communities far beyond Western Canada.

“Their management was among ‘best of class’ in quality control, scheduling, cost management and overall project administration. Tikal met all of our requirements on time and on budget. The site was always organized and tidy, and the crew was very helpful when we ran into those inevitable challenges. I have no reservations whatsoever recommending Tikal Construction.”
“The renovation was executed with the highest level of professionalism. The Tikal team helped the project run smoothly, on time, and on budget. I was especially impressed with their commitment to quality and attention to detail while coordinating all aspects of the work. Vancouver Community College would not hesitate to work with them on any future projects.”
“We consider Tikal Construction Ltd. to be a professionally managed company with the necessary resources to successfully complete any project undertaken. Their surety facility — supported by Intact Insurance for a work program in excess of $2,500,000 — reflects the financial strength and reliability clients can count on. We have no hesitation in recommending Tikal Construction Ltd.”
“Tikal Construction was hardworking, well organized, and pleasant to deal with. The quality of work from the sub-contractors was excellent and Tikal coordinated all their work well. Safety and quality control were important to them — from the start of the project to its completion, they showed a conscientious attitude. I would not hesitate to recommend Tikal Construction.”
“Across two renovation projects at UBC, Tikal was well organized and pleasant to deal with. The quality of their subtrades was good and they coordinated their work well. Quality control was clearly a priority, and the site superintendent always showed a conscientious attitude towards finer details at completion. Change orders were fairly priced. I would not hesitate to recommend them.”
