Benefit from our Specialization

Bonding

 

Bonding expertise is one of our strongest differentiators, and we are proud of our reputation as surety leaders. We specialize in providing market leading bonding solutions for construction contractors of every shape and size across Canada. Our objective is to contribute to the long term success of the companies we serve by consistently delivering superior bonding service, terms and advice.

Bonding Services

Construction Insurance

Construction insurance is a specialized field, and a perfect complement to our bonding services. Being immersed in construction gives us an elevated understanding of the unique insurance needs of contractors, and enables us to deliver complete and cost-effective solutions. As a top construction insurance broker in Canada, we have access to every insurance market and privileged relationships with the leading construction insurers.

Insurance Services

Advisory

 

Our long history of working closely with leading contractors, developers and industry stakeholders has given us exposure to the breadth of business issues faced in construction, and solutions to those issues.  Our accumulated experience and contacts are a resource for our clients, and we offer business advisory and strategic referral services, included at no cost for our bonding and insurance customers.

COVID-19 Response

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we would like to provide you with some peace of mind as it relates to business continuity and readiness at Petrela, Winter & Associates.
PWA remains open for business at our regular business hours, and we have taken the necessary measures to ensure our clients continue to receive uninterrupted bonding and insurance service during these uncertain times.

At the same time, we have implemented precautionary measures to help ensure the safety of our staff and community. All PWA staff have been equipped with the capability to work ‘remotely’, and we have greatly reduced our on-site office personnel and implemented a ‘remote office’ structure for employees.
For email correspondence and bond and insurance requests (including our online bond portal, ‘Bondworks’), there is no change in the process and you may reach us as before with all email requests.

To reach us by phone, you may contact our main office line (416.488.2522) for reception assistance, or alternatively, you may contact individual staff directly – below is a directory for all PWA staff that includes direct phone and email contact information.

Given the disruption experienced by most businesses, including the bonding and insurance markets we deal with on your behalf, we would ask for as much lead time as possible on all service requests. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we strive to provide clients with a seamless service experience through the challenging circumstances.

Testimonials

Over the past 30 years, Pennecon has grown from regional roadbuilder to a leading national heavy civil and industrial contractor, with a vast array of private and public customers from coast to coast. Our projects are continually larger, technically challenging, and contractually complex, and so it is critical for our staff and business partners to be the most knowledgeable and progressive in the industry. Petrela, Winter & Associates’ team of highly skilled bonding professionals have assisted us in many ways, enabling our disciplined growth for over 20 years. Always up to the challenge, their credibility with the Surety community and their continuous support and guidance has been paramount to the success of our business.

—David Mitchell, P.ENG, CEO, Pennecon Limited

I wanted to pause a moment to send Petrela Winter a big thank you for the work you have done over the years. I carry a comfort level working with the Petrela Winter team over the past 15 years or so. Some years have required action and strategic thinking from Petrela Winter, and your team stepped up to the plate and rose to the challenge. PWA has become a deeper part of the brain trust for ZEC, and I am very proud to have them as part of my team, and thank you sincerely for the work that you have done.

—Johannes Ziebarth, President & CEO, Ziebarth Electrical Contractors Ltd.

The team at PWA are true construction experts in the construction insurance, bonding and advisory space.  As industry leaders, Wellington Builders continue to align ourselves with the best partners and resources in the industry to allow for our continued growth and success.

—Jake Wellington, President, Wellington Builders Inc.

PWA and the Univex Group of Companies have worked together and supported each other for many years, and the relationship is now well into the second generation of operations for both companies. PWA supports Univex in their Surety and Corporate as well as personal Insurance needs, but more importantly, PWA has been an important and trusted adviser and confidant for Univex as we navigate the ever changing construction industry.

PWA was a major influence over the Surety underwriters in the early days of the Design/Build form of delivery of projects, securing support for when two major P3 hospitals, each the largest to be constructed in one phase in Canada, were out for RFP at the same time.

Univex is extremely satisfied with the dealings that we have with PWA and are proud to call the group at PWA our friends.

—Michael Caletti, President, Univex Group of Companies

Olympic has been a client of Petrela Winter since Day 1, and we have witnessed the company’s growth from a Regional Surety provider to a National Surety and Construction Insurance leader, while still maintaining their personal hands-on approach, a difficult task magnificently executed. Petrela Winter’s combination of personal approach and National reach is unique to the industry today and they have been a real partner to us for 40 years. We would not be where we are today without their guidance and support.

—Carl Mallam, President, Olympic Construction Limited

RHC continues to push the boundaries of ICI construction, and our collaborative underwriting partner, PWA, has a similar commitment to excellence. The organization’s leadership provides transparent interface with the RHC stakeholders while maintaining a humility and attention to detail that is unsurpassed in the industry. PWA continues to meet our everyday underwriting challenges while progressively assisting RHC in planning for the future; a great partnership.

—Eric R. Schmidt, President, Reid’s Heritage Construction Ltd. (RHC)
