About MARLICON
Management consultants who build.
MarLi Construction — MARLICON — is a commercial construction management and general contracting firm based in Kitchener, Ontario, run by a group of management consultants. We deliver projects from under $1 million to $20 million as prime contractor, subcontractor or consultant, and run relamping and overnight refresh programs for national retailers.
What we do
Construction first. Maintenance and refreshes alongside.
Construction — core business
Construction management and general contracting
Design-build, construction management and general contracting for retail, grocery, restaurant, pharmacy, bank, office and industrial projects — occupied or vacant.
Maintenance & refreshes
Maintenance and interior refreshes
Relamping, LED retrofits and overnight store refreshes for national retailers — self-performed between close and open, with specialty trades managed through vetted partners, on one invoice.
Why it matters
We build for maintainability.
Because we maintain the buildings and spaces we construct, the details that fail in year three — access panels, transitions, finish specs — get resolved in year zero. And when something does fail later, the firm that built it is the one that answers the call.
How we deliver
Run by management consultants. Built on systems.
MARLICON is a group of management consultants who build. The disciplines of a consultancy — defined scope, measured budgets, controlled change and honest reporting — run every project, so it's delivered on time, on budget and on record.
Budget control
A cost plan set before work starts, tracked against committed and actual cost, and reported to you.
Schedule control
One master schedule across design, permits, procurement and site, with slippage flagged early — not at handover.
Change control
Every change priced and approved before it proceeds. Nothing extra is invoiced after the fact.
Quality and safety
Inspection checklists at each stage, under a documented health and safety program.
One point of contact
Regular progress, cost and schedule reporting from one person who owns the job.
Closeout on record
Deficiencies, warranties, as-builts and handover documents — complete and filed.
Ways to engage us
Prime contractor, subcontractor or consultant.
We fit the contract structure your project already has — or help you choose one.
Prime contractor
We hold the contract with the owner and answer for the whole project — as general contractor, construction manager or design-builder.
Subcontractor
We work under another general contractor, delivering interior and finishing scopes and phased work in occupied buildings — to their schedule and standards.
Consultant
Owner's representative, pre-construction budgeting and constructability reviews, or construction management advisory — on your side of the table.
