We
build
smarter.
Our Purpose
It’s always been in our character. Because for us, smarter stands for so much more than creating innovative new ways to build. It’s about keeping our ear to the ground. Listening to our clients. Answering their needs with smarter solutions. And incorporating their needs and tastes into every decision we make. Smarter is a consistent dedication to quality. It’s about making a big difference through the smallest details. Always seeking new ways to improve and grow. And never saying impossible. It’s how we as a company, a collective of creative thinkers and intelligent builders got to where we are today. Building communities. Reinventing neighbourhoods by unlocking the full potential of our employees, our partners, and our projects. Improving the world we live in, one project at a time.

ESG
Environment, Social and Governance
We build smarter is about building for the next generation.
Doing our part for the planet through sustainable, affordable homes and communities—while responsibly winding down our dependency on fossil fuels. We’re already ahead of the energy-reduction curve with high-performance building techniques such as robust insulation, top-quality windows, and air exchange recuperation systems. Many of our projects include geothermal, high efficiency boilers and heat recovery systems.
Our three fundamental principles at Scalia: Honesty, transparency, and respect.
How a society treats its most vulnerable is always a measure of its humanity."
We take this to heart at Scalia, and since 2011 we have supported numerous social initiatives within the community. Donating almost $3 million to date (2025) –to the Multicaf Community Foodbank in Côte-des-Neiges. And we didn’t stop there. With increasing needs since the COVID-19 crisis, started in 2023 we also organized an annual fundraiser in collaboration with celebrity comedians—as well as local renowned local artists led by Carmelo Blandino.
