Construction & Procurement
Taza is in progress
Something wondrous is coming—and it’s already begun. The Taza team is overseeing the construction management and land development of three community villages on 1,200 acres of Tsuut’ina Nation. We’re building communities, and we’re also aiming to build lasting positive change and a legacy to be proud of. Next time you drive down Tsuut’ina Trail, have a look at what we’re creating.
Our design and construction team
From the early stages of master planning through to construction completion, Taza’s in-house design and construction team makes sure we’re meeting targets and realizing our design intent.
Design
The team develops our master plan vision and village development plan, and provides site study plans and concept design for a number of projects that are in the development, schematic and design phases. The team sometimes works with third-party consultants, depending on a project’s complexity.
Construction
The team manages land and vertical projects from the pre-construction/feasibility phases through design, construction and post-construction. To execute the work, we engage consultants and contractors through a competitive process involving tenders or requests for proposal (RFPs).
Construction updates
Construction can cause disruption, but we minimize impact through responsible management and communication. For regular updates on traffic routes and any construction-related impacts, call 1-877-287-4731 or download a PDF.

We’re always seeking quality materials, equipment, contractors and resources that can bring our development to life. We identify scope, receive bids and evaluate them fairly using a scoring matrix.
