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.

Over the 12 years that we’ve been with Petrela Winter as our bonding agent, Petrela Winter has always been a solid advocate for our firm. Due to PWA’s support, we’ve been able to expand our contracting business and to undertake larger and more complex projects. Petrela Winter has been proactive in obtaining the best rate for bonds available while maintaining strong relationships with bond providers.

We’ve found everyone we’ve worked with to be professional, knowledgeable, and personable. Kenalex is pleased to have this opportunity to express our complete satisfaction with the services of Petrela Winter and to highly recommend this firm.

—Sandy Graham, Past Chair, OGCA & President, Kenalex Construction Company Limited

They provide a great deal of overall value to our business as it relates to cost-effective bonding, insurance, and risk management solutions. We can always rely on their informed construction business perspective.

Ampere’s reputation as leaders in our field is as a result of building the best and most reliable internal and external team in the business, and PWA is a key part of this team.

—Mario Bernardini, President & CEO, Ampere Limited

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.

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
