Design & Construction Services

Construction Section

Construction Services falls under Transportation & Public Works.  The role of Construction Services is to administer and inspect most capital projects approved by the Regional Council.

The Construction Services section plays a unique role within the Municipality because of its overall responsibility in translating design and specifications of a significant component of HRM's Capital Budget into final project reality within a high profile and pressured environment.

Construction Services provides the following services:

1. We administer and inspect HRM's capital program. See 2013 HRM Capital Works Projects for an up to date listing. For an explanation of various project types administered by Construction Services see Projects.
2. We also inspect, on HRM's behalf, projects which are the responsibility of those noted below but affect HRM's property.
   
   
   • Halifax Water
   • Halifax Business Parks
   • Hertiage Gas

Construction Services receives numerous requests and inquiries. Many of these are related to information and projects we administer and track regulary. Other requests are of a more specific or complex nature and must be researched before an answer can be given.

To help with the common requests we've outlined what our department is involved with on a daily basis:

• Approved Capital Construction Projects
