Grounded in Culture.
Built for Business.

Shewálh was founded on a simple belief: Indigenous peoples deserve a seat at the table in construction and infrastructure — not as subcontractors, but as owners, operators, and leaders.

We are a British Columbia-based, 100% Indigenous-owned company delivering civil contracting services across the province. From site preparation to underground utilities, roadwork to traffic control — we bring certified field crews, rigorous safety standards, and a deep sense of responsibility to every project we take on.

Safety Above All

Zero-incident operations. COR-certified safety management system applied across every job site.

Indigenous Employment

We actively hire from Indigenous communities and create pathways to meaningful, long-term employment in the trades.

Long-Term Client Relationships

We don't chase one-time contracts — we build multi-year partnerships with GCs, developers, and municipalities.

Excellence in Execution

Professional. Punctual. Prepared. Every deployment reflects our commitment to quality, reliability, and finish.

Subcontracting to Shewálh
Works for Your Bottom Line

Many GCs and project owners carry Indigenous procurement reporting obligations — provincial contracts, federal projects, or corporate ESG commitments. Subcontracting to Shewálh doesn't just get you a qualified, certified crew. It counts toward your Indigenous spend targets.

Federal Procurement Targets

The federal government requires departments to direct a minimum of 5% of contract value to Indigenous businesses. Shewálh qualifies — we're registered on the Indigenous Business Directory (IBD).

BC Government Projects

The Province of BC actively co-develops Indigenous supply arrangements. Shewálh is listed on BC Bid as a qualified Indigenous supplier for infrastructure and civil contracts province-wide.

Corporate Supplier Diversity

Major GCs and developers track Indigenous supplier spend for ESG and procurement reporting. Our CCIB certification provides verifiable Indigenous business status for your supplier diversity commitments.

Territory Projects

For work on or near First Nations territories, Shewálh brings cultural competency, community relationships, and FPIC expertise that non-Indigenous firms cannot offer — reducing risk and smoothing delivery.

Your Indigenous procurement partner — in the ground.

We're not a checkbox. We're a fully certified, multi-discipline field team that helps your project hit Indigenous spend targets while keeping your schedule, safety record, and quality standard intact. One call. Covered.

Discuss Your Project

Community at the Core

Shewálh exists because we believe infrastructure work should lift the communities it passes through. Our impact is measured beyond projects completed and contracts signed.

Indigenous Employment

We prioritize hiring from local Indigenous communities, creating real employment opportunities with fair wages, training support, and paths to advancement in the trades.

Training & Mentorship

We invest in our crew — TCP certification, equipment training, career development. Senior team members actively mentor new hires, building skills and confidence on every site.

Youth Pathways

Shewálh supports programs connecting Indigenous youth to trades, construction pathways, and skilled labour — building careers before they're old enough to need one.

Charitable Giving

A portion of our earnings supports children's hospitals, Indigenous cultural organizations, and youth programs across British Columbia.

Cultural Respect

We operate with deep respect for the lands and territories we work on. Community consultation, not assumption — on every project, in every region.

Economic Sovereignty

Every dollar earned by Shewálh stays in Indigenous hands — building generational wealth and long-term economic sovereignty for our communities.

Building a Better Future — Together

Our community impact isn't a footnote. It's the reason we started. Every crew deployed, every young person trained, every job filled is a step toward a stronger, more self-sufficient community.
