Overview
Pagnotta builds high-rise, residential and commercial projects for developers and building owners across Western Canada. Its concrete division designs, forms, places and finishes structural concrete, while its general construction team manages projects from early planning through completion. The company combines building work with a separate equipment business that rents tower cranes and hoists and supplies maintenance, parts and on-site technical support. It earns revenue from contracted building and concrete work and from equipment rentals and the services that keep cranes and hoists operating on customer sites. Family-owned Pagnotta was founded in 1992 and is headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta.
