AMB Construction Ltd.

electrical contracting company is also an important partnership for AMB. Developing strong relationships with design and architecture firms, such as Frederick McRae Ltd., is another critical part of the process for AMB Construction. Although AMB is not involved in the initial design phases, they keep the lines of communication open, working to ensure they are meeting all expectations throughout the job, while offering as much flexibility as possible when changes are required. Not taking part in the design phase means that any green initiatives or sustainability upgrades are decided prior to AMB becoming part of the project. “Typically, in this industry, we are driven by the designers and the owners’ desires. So that is not one of the things that we will usually get involved in. It’s really done at the design stage, which we are not a part of,” says Kerry. “We may see this come into play at certain homes, there are a few complexes that are engaged in renewable energy, for instance, but we don’t necessarily see it in the other areas of the work we are work currently engaged in, which is more commercial. There is more of that renewable aspect on the residential side of things.” The recent completion of a 65,000 square foot, four-story fit out for the law firm Maples Group was a successful project for AMB, although there were challenges along the way. “It was quite a lengthy project. We were affected by COVID in the midst of it and we ended up shutting it down for a while,” reports Kerry. As soon as they were able, AMB got back to the job, proceeding with their high-quality work. He adds, “Once everything was back up and running, we not only resumed ongoing works prior to COVID lockdown, but we were then able to engage in a second contract with them. So, we have a very well-maintained relationship there as well, with them as a client.” Slow and steady growth has been the direction of AMB from the beginning. Looking to the coming years, Arnold sees this pattern continuing for the company. He shares, “We have been constantly increasing business, right across the board. I can see once the borders open it will be the same. We keep moving up and up.” Rommel adds his thoughts on the future of the company he started over 16 years ago, “I’m the founder, and the uncle. Arnold, Kerry and I, we are the three musketeers.” Planning to eventually step back, Rommel is confident his nephews will continue to build and grow AMB Construction. As far as what happens next, he adds, “I’d say things will just keep going. The sky is the limit.” AMB CONSTRUCT ION LTD .
