One Contractor. Start to Finish.
Industrial buildings bring a lot of moving parts: engineered slabs, heavy doors, specific mechanical and electrical requirements, and coordination with your operations.
Pre-construction planning and budgeting
Steel suppliers and erectors
Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing subtrades
Coordination with designers and engineers
Concrete, sitework, and scheduling
Inspections, deficiencies, and final close-out
You get one contractor responsible for sequencing the work and keeping the project moving, instead of trying to manage separate companies for every piece of the build.
Our Industrial Process
Discovery Call & Operational Needs
01
We start with a conversation about your operation—what you’re storing, moving, repairing, or producing—and your site, building size, door requirements, and height.
Concept, Layout & Pre-construction
02
We help align the steel building system with your layout: clear spans, bay spacing, overhead door locations, office/mechanical areas, and potential future expansion. At this stage, we coordinate with designers/engineers and develop a preliminary scope and cost breakdown.
Permits, Engineering, Procurement
03
We support you in gathering what’s required for permits, coordinate with the our suppliers, and line up key trades. This reduces delays once permits are issued and construction begins.
Construction & Coordination
04
Bellcore manages site prep, foundations, steel erection, rough-ins, insulation, interior builds, and yard-related work. We handle trade scheduling, inspections, and communication so you’re not juggling everyone yourself.
Turnover & Closeout
05
We walk the project with you, address deficiencies, and complete handover so you can focus on opening, moving in, or expanding operations.
Why Steel
FLEXIBLE
You can design for tall overhead doors, bridge cranes, mezzanines, and high racking as needed.
DURABLE
Steel handles Canadian weather, snow loads, and temperature swings with minimal upkeep.
EXPANDABLE
Pre-engineered structures can be extended in the future if you need more space.
FAST
Pre-engineered systems allow faster assembly and interior work compared to conventional builds.
Bellcore helps you capture these benefits while making sure the slab, services, and layout match what happens in your building day-to-day.
Building Advantage
Building Package + Interiors Together
We plan the structure and the interior as one project so you don’t end up with surprises between the building shell and the fit-out.
Northern Ontario Focus
Our projects are built around rugged weather considerations and solutions that keep maintenance costs low.
Transparent Proposals
We use clearly defined allowances and exclusions so you know what is included in your contract before we start.
Hands-On General Contracting
We coordinate the steel erector and all subtrades so you’re not stuck managing everyone yourself.
We combine GC oversight with self-performing construction, so the same company coordinating your project is also responsible for a large part of the work on site.
Where We Build
We serve clients across:
-
Greater Sudbury
-
Manitoulin Island
-
North Bay
-
Thunder Bay
-
Sault Ste. Marie
-
Timmins
-
All of Northern Ontario
For remote and out of town projects, we plan around travel, accommodations, and delivery logistics as part of our pre-construction process.
