Borderless Building Solutions for Metal Building Manufacturers
In the competitive pre-engineered metal building (PEB) industry, the quality of installation can make or break a roofing and wall system supplier’s reputation. Whether your manufacturing facility is in Calgary or Chicago, Ontario or Texas, having a reliable installation partner
is crucial to success. Double Black Construction has emerged as the premier cross-border installation specialist serving metal building manufacturers, general contractors, engineering firms and architects throughout North America.
Specialization in PEB Makes the Difference
Founded by industry veterans John Lohan
and Frank Melo, Double Black Construction brings decades of specialized experience to every project. Their leadership has successfully installed over 500 pre-engineered metal buildings across diverse environments and challenging conditions throughout Canada and the United States.
What sets the Double Black Construction team apart is their complete mobility – they aren't just another local contractor with limited capabilities. Their specialized crews can mobilize quickly with all necessary equipment and expertise, regardless of where the project site will be located. They’ve built almost everywhere – from frozen tundra of Nunavut
to sunny deserts of Arizona.

Metal building manufacturers know their proprietary systems often require specialized installation knowledge. Double Black Construction has worked with most of the major manufacturers
and their building systems (usually as one of their preferred and authorized builders), making the team an ideal partner for any supplier. No need to train new contractors or worry about installation quality – Double Black Construction’s experienced skilled tradespeople understand the nuances of different systems to execute with precision.
