HIBCO Merges With Encore Constructions Modular Operations

We Have An Exciting Announcement To Make!

For the past 8 years, we have collaborated with Encore Construction on multiple construction projects across Canada. We are beyond thrilled to announce, after years of operating as strategic partners, that we have successfully merged our Commercial Division with Encore Construction’s industry-leading modular operations.

Specializing in mid to large-scale residential, commercial, and institutional modular installations, Encore Construction has been at the forefront of the modular construction industry, successfully executing projects in 6 provinces and territories over the last 11 years.

Their impressive resume spans from the shores of Hudson’s Bay to the Pacific West Coast, including the installation and structural complexing of the first 6-story wood-framed modular building in Canada and the Veterans Village in our hometown Edmonton. They are proven specialists in their field and bring a group of results-driven individuals to join our growing team.

Along with Encore Constructions’ staff, we would like to welcome their president, Michel Hetu, as our newly appointed Commercial and Modular Division Manager.


Michel is a proven leader and brings exceptional experience and construction know-how to help navigate our commercial team down this new path.

Michel had this to say; “The merger officially formalizes an already strong partnership. Working with HIBCO’s team over the last number of years has been instrumental to our growth and continued success.


As two companies committed to innovation and pushing the boundaries of typical construction practice, this merger will undoubtedly increase our capacity and expand our reach across the Canadian modular and commercial sector.

Adding to Michel’s comments, our president and CEO Hani Barzagar had this to say; “Michel and his team at Encore Construction have been at the forefront of modular construction for years. They bring a fresh, innovative perspective to the industry, similar to our team here at HIBCO. Seeing as both our companies’ values aligned with one another almost seamlessly, along with the passionate and skilled individuals on our teams, it was an easy decision to take this next step. I’m excited to see where this new partnership takes us!”
