The Courage to Build Better Means…
Makwa-Dewar is an Indigenous-led partnership between Makwa Development Corporation and Dewar Industrial Services Inc. delivering civil-construction and industrial services across complex project environments.
From nuclear facilities to industrial infrastructure, our team combines experienced trades, disciplined project execution, and a First Nations perspective grounded in responsibility, preparation, and longterm thinking. Every project is approached with a commitment to safety, collaboration, and accountability—on the jobsite and beyond.
Building with Purpose Beyond Profitability
Every project connects to the communities and environments where the work takes place.

By working closely with clients, partners, and communities, Makwa-Dewar contributes to infrastructure, employment, and development that reflect a broader standard—one that considers both immediate outcomes and future impact.
