Koncret is a family construction company based in Quebec, founded by Marc Dugas and built up alongside his daughter Emmanuelle, who officially joined at the end of 2021 after years spent with real estate firms and contractors around Quebec City.

That partnership is a natural continuation of a career shaped by the jobsite, by project management, and by a concrete understanding of how construction actually works.

Over the past 35 years, Marc built his expertise on major commercial, institutional and industrial projects, developing a deep command of planning, technical coordination and jobsite execution. Emmanuelle brings a structured approach to management, a current view of operations, and close attention to the client experience and the quality of follow-ups.

Together they lead a multidisciplinary team with the expertise complex projects require. Project managers, superintendents, specialized professionals and technical partners all work toward the same thing: rigorous, coherent, durable oversight at every stage of the project.

As it has grown, Koncret has surrounded itself with people who share the same standards, the same demand for quality, and the same interest in building lasting relationships of trust with clients.

Our craft has not changed: solid, thoughtful, durable projects, built for the people who occupy and run them every day.

By the numbers
Every project we take on rests on the same approach: tight coordination, an active presence on the ground, and a concrete read on what actually determines whether a jobsite succeeds.
As a general contractor, our role goes well past supervising the work. We keep the professionals, the schedules, the technical constraints and the client's objectives aligned, so execution holds together from the first day to the last.

History

A story built on experience.

Long before Koncret existed, there were decades on jobsites: coordinating complex projects, running multidisciplinary teams, and getting a real feel for commercial, institutional and industrial construction.
Every step of that path shaped the structured, rigorous and human approach that defines the company now.
1995
First plans on the table
Marc Dugas started out as an architectural technologist. The training gave him a quick, precise read on plans, on jobsite constraints, and on everything that decides whether a construction project comes together.
It is a foundation that shaped how he sees the trade to this day.
2000
Solid foundations
Early on, he worked as an assistant project manager for a major institutional client, representing the owner on major office-building work.
He then moved on to some of Quebec's larger contractors, taking part in big commercial and industrial projects as a project manager.
Those years built complete expertise in jobsite coordination, schedule management, supervision of professionals, and control of the day-to-day realities that come with complex projects.
2013
Founding of Dugas inc.
Marc founded Dugas inc., a construction management firm working with major players in the real estate sector across Quebec and Canada.
The firm acted as the owner's representative, coordinating projects from the first plan to final delivery, with an approach centred on control, transparency and the client's interests.
2021
New image: the birth of Koncret
Emmanuelle's arrival opened a new chapter for the company.
With that transition, Dugas inc. took on a new identity and officially became Koncret: a family company that combines field experience, structured management and a current view of construction.
Emmanuelle's modern organizational approach rounds out the technical and operational expertise Marc built over the decades. Together, they are building a construction company that can take on commercial, institutional and industrial projects with the rigour of an established contractor and the closeness of a human-scale team.
Today
A structure in full evolution
As it grows, Koncret keeps consolidating its team, adding strategic resources in construction management, general superintendence, structural engineering and AI-assisted administration.

That lets the company offer an agile, high-performing structure suited to how construction works today, while keeping the closeness, responsiveness and quality of support that built its reputation.
Our process
A structured method to frame every stage of the project.

Every project comes with its own technical, financial and operational constraints.

From first analysis to final delivery, each phase is planned with care so performance, quality, schedule and cost control stay in balance.

General contractor
Pre-project phase
Understand the site before you build.
Every mandate opens with a full preliminary analysis: environmental studies, technical validations, and an honest assessment of the constraints specific to the site.

This step steers the design, supports financing, and flags anything that could affect how the work unfolds.
Cost Optimization
Build smart from the first decisions.
Optimizing a budget is not about cutting costs. It is about making the right call at the right moment.

By digging into the project's needs, the construction methods and the realities of the site, our team proposes coherent technical solutions that get the most out of the investment without giving up quality or durability.
Centralization of quotes
Clear coordination among everyone involved.
A project is only as good as the communication between the professionals working on it.

Koncret centralizes the information, coordinates the suppliers and standardizes the quotes, which cuts down on inconsistencies, simplifies exchanges, and keeps the whole picture in view at every stage.
Work Sequencing
Planning that keeps the jobsite moving.
A jobsite runs on the quality of its planning, plain and simple.

Our team lays out a structured sequence of works that coordinates each intervention, tightens execution timelines and keeps things moving, even when the context is complex or shifting.

Every schedule is built around the concrete realities of the project and adjusted early whenever it needs to be.
Project Completion
The same standard right through to the last step.
You often see the quality of execution in the finishing details, and in whether a project comes in complete, compliant and ready to use.

Before every delivery, our team runs a rigorous check on corrections, final validations and jobsite closeout, so the result is durable, coherent and true to what was agreed at the start.
Careers
Building with us means growing in a solid, human, professional environment.

At Koncret, we believe a project is only as good as the people who build it.

So we put real weight on the well-being, balance and professional growth of our team. A healthy, structured, respectful workplace makes for better collaboration, more rigour on the ground, and durable work at every level of the company. We are convinced of it.

Our human approach is part of how we build, not an afterthought.

With the support of a workplace psychology professional, our team works to recognize each person's strengths, put the right people in the right roles, and keep a work dynamic that is motivating, stable and respectful of the human side of construction.
