Contempora Construction Inc was incorporated in 1986 and is run by Jim Schmidt in partnership with Brad Braaten. We serve Medicine Hat and the surrounding areas. During the initial years, Contempora Construction Inc worked on both residential and commercial construction projects. However, the company moved away from custom housing in the early ’90s to specialize in commercial and industrial construction. Since then, we have been working on various small to large-scale projects for businesses and public organizations in Medicine Hat and the surrounding areas.
As the demand grew over the years, so did the complexity of building designs, and this provided us with the experience and knowledge to construct special builds. We specialize in steel and pre-engineered steel buildings with the functional use of a garage/shop and office facilities.
Our main office and only headquarters have always stayed in the city that has provided us with much success. It is now located in the Light Industrial Park at 1614 32nd Street SW.
