BCI was founded in 1937 by C.H. Balzer as a Saskatchewan-owned industrial contracting company. Today we operate across Saskatchewan and Alberta with facilities in Emerald Park, SK and Rocky View, AB.
The company began with disciplined workmanship and a practical promise: do the job correctly, stand behind it, and leave the site safer than you found it. That baseline is still enforced—now at industrial scale.
BCI’s story is a straight line: craft to capability to controlled execution.
We’ve built commercial work, then diversified into industrial scopes—water and wastewater systems, generating plants, and other essential infrastructure across Western Canada.
The company is family-owned—and the culture reflects it. Multiple families have three generations working here at the same time. That continuity is not sentimental. It is how standards stay intact.
BCI was built by Carl Balzer, expanded by Rudy Balzer, and modernized under Ron Balzer—without loosening the standard.
Carl Balzer established the baseline: disciplined work, honest pricing, and reliability.
Rudy Balzer expanded the company’s reach and capacity to serve the industrial demands of Western Canada.
Ron Balzer modernized execution—building a company structured for controlled outcomes, audit readiness, and long-term operational responsibility.
Family ownership matters for a simple reason: the consequences of decisions do not get outsourced.
The company’s footprint expanded through specific, recorded steps—facilities, divisions, and infrastructure that support repeatable execution.
Leadership at BCI is structured for delivery — safety, quality, schedule integrity, and documented completion. Execution is driven by the people behind them — in the shop and in the field.
