Govan Brown, a member of the STO Building Group, says it has launched a new dedicated Core & Shell construction division.
Govan Brown Building Group, the company’s new division, will focus on the delivery of new construction and base building redevelopment and repositioning projects, the company says in a statement.
“This launch builds on the strengths we have brought to the marketplace in our ability to focus and build dedicated teams that directly respond to the needs being expressed by our clients,” says Govan Brown president Joseph Kirk. “The same degree of attention and specialization we are known for informs this important evolution which will enhance and support our interiors division. The Building Group offers an opportunity to diversify our business while providing our team members broader opportunities to advance in their careers. This is an important evolution for our business and we couldn’t be more excited to take this bold step forward.”
The division will be led by Jeff McKinnon, senior director of Corporate Development, and Rik Dittmer, senior director of construction.
The statement says “the division’s focus will be to expand Govan Brown’s range of construction services to include new construction, adaptive re-use of existing assets, sustainably focused mass timber construction, light industrial, redevelopment projects, and select special projects.”
