Testimonials

Petrela, Winter & Associates have proven to be valued business partners to us for over 12 years. The construction business is full of opportunities and challenges, and we appreciate having specialists like PWA in our corner. While their competence and competitiveness in surety and construction insurance have been outstanding, it is their constant willingness to roll up their sleeves and offer their perspective, guidance, effort and assistance that makes them stand out. They are an invaluable part of our team, and contributor to our success. We highly recommend PWA.

—Raymondo Mollica, Sitting Chair, OGCA, & President, REMO General Contracting Ltd.

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)

As a leading National Construction Management and Development firm delivering custom and complex large scale projects for a discriminating client base, we have sophisticated risk management needs, and that’s why we have engaged Petrela Winter to be our surety and insurance advisors for the past 15+ years. PWA understands the construction business, and consistently finds innovative and pragmatic solutions to our evolving surety and insurance requirements. PWA is one of our trusted advisors and we consider them to be one of our important value-added partners. We recommend them without hesitation.

—Marco Mancini, Chairman, Urbacon

We are very proud to be associated with Petrela Winter for the last 13 years. Having Petrela Winter as our bonding experts, the company has grown steadily since. They have continuously supported us with our institutional contracts and have helped us to reach new heights in our business.

Our being in Ottawa-Gatineau and they’re being in Toronto has never been an obstacle, and we always feel they are on our side in every situation as required. Their expertise is extremely helpful in many aspects of our business. I like to think of Petrela Winter being more than our bonding experts, but as real partners!

—Raymond Brunet, Past Chair, CCA & President, Brunet & Associés Canada

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

When it comes to construction insurance and bonding, and general industry advisory expertise, we highly recommend the PWA team. Their knowledgeable, professional, and in-tune team members provide a rock-solid service and are there when you need them the most. Their sole focus on construction makes them stand out – they understand the industry and are up to date on all of the current issues.

—Mark Enright, President, Bonnechere Excavating Inc.
