A Network Built on Excellence
Double Black Construction's partnership network spans the continent, collaborating with top-tier manufacturers like Summit Steel Buildings, Behlen Steel Buildings, Nucor Building Systems, and Olympia Steel Buildings. These manufacturers, members of the Metal Building Manufacturers Association (MBMA), represent the gold standard in the industry. With long-standing histories, solid financial foundations and impeccable safety records, they produce some of the most reliable and innovative metal building solutions available.

According to the MBMA, authorized builders like Double Black Construction are pivotal in maintaining the integrity and reputation of the metal building industry. The stringent criteria for becoming an authorized builder ensure that only the best firms, those with proven expertise and a commitment to quality, are chosen. This recognition is not just a badge of honor; it is a testament to the company's dedication to excellence in every project.
Expanding Possibilities with Direct Manufacturer Relationships
One of the key advantages of being an authorized builder is the direct relationship with these manufacturers. This connection provides Double Black Construction with access to a broader range of products and designs, allowing them to cater to a wider variety of pre-engineered steel building projects. Whether the goal is to create stunning architectural features like cantilevers or expansive column-free spaces, Double Black Construction has the technical resources and engineering-construction expertise to bring any vision to life.

This direct access to materials and designs makes Double Black Construction the ideal partner for architecture, engineering and general contractor firms. The ability to work closely with manufacturers means that every element of a building can be tailored to meet specific project requirements, ensuring that the final structure is not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing and structurally sound.
Strategic Advantage Through Nationwide Reach
With manufacturers located across North America, Double Black Construction can ensure guaranteed and prompt delivery of materials, reducing logistical costs and minimizing the environmental impact of transportation. This geographic advantage means that wherever a client needs a building installed, Double Black Construction can be the local source, providing a seamless and efficient construction process from start to finish.

Frank Melo, Vice President of Commercial Operations for Double Black Construction, explains: “From the GTA to Killarney to Port Alberni to Brandon and Nunavut, our teams have represented manufacturers by completing incredibly successful and attractive steel structures on their behalf. These projects bring economic value and opportunities to build a sense of community at a local and regional level.” He specifically points to Big Sky Studios in Winnipeg, the Waywayseecappo Community Centre in Brandon and Power Marine in Port Alberni, B.C. “We’re proud of the work we do,” Frank continues. “From the professional tradespeople we employ to the partners we represent everyday on the jobsite, it’s not just the finished building that matters, but also the professionalism of our teams and the way we respectfully partner with the local community.”

Moreover, the company's teams offer complete turnkey solutions, managing every aspect of a project from blueprints to final reality. This allows general contractors to delegate the technical details of building construction to Double Black Construction's skilled tradespeople, freeing them to focus on client relationships and the strategic development of their business.
