McDonald Brothers Construction General Contractor in the Ottawa area servicing the Industrial, Commercial and Institutional Sectors

McDonald Brothers Construction - established in 1988 - is a General Contractor based in the Ottawa area which services primarily the Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional (ICI) sectors. What started out as two brothers with a passion for building has quickly grown into an established construction firm servicing the Ottawa region. We are best known for our extensive work with medical facilities, school additions, recreational facilities and complex renovations. If your children attend an elementary school in the Ottawa region built within the last 5 years, there is a good chance we had a hand in putting it there. More recently, as our operations continue to diversify, our experience in large-scale new construction has been increasing significantly. Our guiding principle is that most effective way to grow our business is to secure lasting relationships with our clients, and build each project with a mind to returning for the next phase or addition. Our Philosophy:
We believe above all else that passion for building is transcendent. Technical knowledge can be developed with experience, but creative ability is contingent on having sincere enthusiasm for each and every project. While we place strong emphasis on superior quality, attentive service, competitive cost and aggressive scheduling, our key to success is in creative problem solving and ingenuity. Moreover, success for MBC is measured not only by the achievements of the past, but also in the understanding that even with two decades in the industry, progress is an ongoing concept.

This week, the MBC team had a wonderful evening at the Purple Tie Gala, supporting Cornerstone Housing for Women and the important work they do in our community.

We were happy to contribute as a sponsor and spend the evening alongside so many people who came together for the same cause. The event raised an incredible $203,000, surpassing its fundraising goal!

Having worked with Cornerstone on several of their projects, it’s especially rewarding for us to continue supporting an organization whose work we’ve seen firsthand.

Congratulations to the entire Cornerstone team on such a successful evening, and thank you for having us! đź’ś

Last night, the MBC team had a wonderful evening at the 10th Anniversary of Soirée Salus, celebrating the work Salus continues to do across our community.

MBC was happy to support the evening as an auction sponsor. Our connection with Salus also extends through the projects we’ve worked on together, including Salus Athlone, 56 Capilano and the Capilano Townhouses, which broke ground this past summer and are scheduled for completion next year.

It was especially nice to catch up with Darryl Hood and Anthony Leaning, Principals at CSV Architects, who we’ve had the pleasure of working with on these projects, and to see so many people come together in support of Salus.

Congratulations to the entire Salus team on 10 years of Soirée Salus and on putting together such an enjoyable evening!

Designed by CSV Architects, Kingston Co-Operative Housing is a 38-unit affordable housing development featuring residential units, common amenity space, outdoor gathering areas, and pedestrian connections to the surrounding neighbourhood.

Accessibility was an important consideration in the design. More than 20% of the units are fully accessible, while the remaining apartments were designed so they can be more easily retrofitted as residents' needs change over time.

It's a thoughtful approach that allows the building to better respond to the needs of its residents, both today and in the future.

There was a great turnout at yesterday's Ottawa Aboriginal Coalition Career Fair, with people from a wide range of backgrounds coming together to learn, connect, and explore different career paths.

It was great to meet so many students and job seekers and hear about their interests, experiences, and plans for the future. We enjoyed sharing some insight into the construction industry and talking about the many paths available within it.

Congratulations to the OAC for organizing such a well-attended event. Between the seminars, exhibitors, and networking opportunities, there was plenty for attendees to take away from the day.

It was also exciting to see the progress of the OAC Inuit VAW Shelter project being showcased. MBC is proud to be working alongside the project team as the Construction Manager for this important development, and it was great to see the interest it generated throughout the event.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth. We appreciated the conversations and enjoyed meeting so many new faces!

Keeping a building operational while renovating it is often one of the biggest challenges in construction.

Designed by PR-TY architects inc., the Surgenor Hyundai Dealership renovation required extensive coordination to ensure business operations could continue safely while construction progressed.

Throughout construction, which included both interior and exterior upgrades, the dealership remained fully operational. A phased approach, alternate work hours, and careful planning allowed work to proceed while minimizing impacts on staff, customers, and daily operations.

One of the most rewarding aspects of this project was seeing the renovation take shape while the dealership continued serving customers each day. It was a true team effort, with everyone working together to keep the project moving forward while maintaining a positive experience for the people using the space.

Built in 1887, Pope House has been part of Ottawa's history for generations. Today, after extensive renovations and a new addition, the building is ready for its next chapter!

Working alongside Two Row Architect and the National Association of Friendship Centres (NAFC), MBC completed the renovation and expansion of this heritage property, including interior and exterior upgrades, accessibility improvements, and a new rear addition.

From preserving historical elements to integrating new spaces and accessibility improvements, a great deal of coordination went into every phase of this project. It has been rewarding to see the transformation take shape, and we look forward to seeing Pope House continue serving the community for many years to come.

It’s a privilege to back organizations that are actively transforming their communities

This addition to the Youville Centre - Ottawa increased the facility's capacity from 55 to 70 children, providing additional space for classrooms, offices, and nurseries.

As a non-profit organization supporting adolescent mothers and their children, they play an important role in the Ottawa community. We were proud to contribute to a project that helps further its mission and creates more opportunities for the families it serves.

Recently, project partners gathered in Kemptville to celebrate the official groundbreaking of the Reuben Crescent Housing Co-operative, a new 109-home co-operative housing near the town's downtown.

MBC is proud to be providing Construction Management services for this important development, working alongside New Commons Development, CSV Architects, the Municipality of North Grenville, the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville, and the entire project team.

We were pleased to see Mayor Nancy Peckford, North Grenville and Steve Clark join the celebration and recognize the significance of expanding housing options within the community.

Our team is already hard at work on site, and we look forward to seeing the project take shape over the coming months. 🏗️ 🏢

Construction is moving ahead at Ellwood House, and we've recently reached a major milestone.

The section of the existing building that will connect to the new addition has now been carefully removed, marking the transition from demolition to construction of the expansion itself, and excavation work is already underway in preparation for the new foundations.

Designed by Colizza Bruni Architecture Inc., this addition will provide 38 affordable and accessible homes for independent seniors.

With the existing facility remaining occupied and located within an established residential neighbourhood, construction requires ongoing coordination with residents, staff, neighbours, and project partners. The goal is simple: keep the project moving forward while being a considerate neighbour throughout the process.
