Our Story

About A. Howden Construction

A. Howden Construction Ltd. was created in 1980 by Alex Howden with a focus on quality concrete work. The firm originated in Saskatoon and was among the early adopters of the Duraform forming system.

Following Alex Howden's retirement to farm ownership, Jim Smith assumed leadership in 2018. The organization now operates across western Canada, bringing the same commitment to quality to every project.

Our team brings together varied construction expertise — from foundations and floors to precast and topping — backed by a culture of safety and craftsmanship.
