Originally founded by Sean Joyce and Alex Orlov – a pair of construction managers with 30 years of cumulative experience between them – “Sean n’ Alex” Construction was born in 2020, out of a desire to be, do, and inspire something better in the industry. Growing from three employees on our first day to nearly 20 today, we can see that this desire resonates with our clients in a big way.
We started out specializing in general contracting for commercial projects. Thanks to our strong, capable team and our immense prior experience, we’ve been able to branch out and we’re proud to be adding more services to our list: full commercial project management, concrete, drywall, landscaping, and property development. We’ve grown outward from our Calgary HQ and we’ve worked on projects all throughout the prairies, the foothills, and the Rockies themselves. And we can’t wait to see where we go next.
Reputation. Results. Loyalty. Trust. Integrity. These qualities are everything in this industry. That’s why we’re always transparent to our clients, loyal to our employees, and honest about our work and our capabilities. Even if it means taking a hit on the chin, we’ll always do the right thing for the people who count on us. It’s gotten us this far and we know it’ll take us further still.
A 15-year veteran of the Canadian commercial and residential construction industry (with another 6 earned internationally), Sean has extensive experience as a project manager, estimator, and site supervisor. In his role with SNA, he manages project obligations and requirements to ensure all clients are provided with exceptional service throughout all phases of construction. Sean holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Construction Management from Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology (MIT) in Galway, Ireland.
