Services · Advisory and delivery
Independent cost advisor and commercial general contractor.
Two ways to work with Xenofan: an independent cost opinion on your capital projects, anywhere in Canada, or delivery of your commercial projects in Québec, through design-build or construction management.
For real estate directors, CFOs and project leaders at professional firms, financial institutions and organizations of 200 employees or more.

Xenofan, since 2026
Two services. Each with its own role.
Before you commit capital, you need a number you can defend. Once the decision is made, you need a team that delivers to that number. We do both, never on the same project.
Advisory · Across Canada
Independent cost opinion
For real estate directors, CFOs and asset managers who need a budget approved.
- Pre-design budget opinion
- Budget review
- Bid reconciliation
- Options analysis
- Capital renewal planning
Delivery · Québec
Commercial renovations and fit-outs
For organizations that can’t stop while their space changes, in Greater Montréal and on the North Shore.
- Design-build
- Progressive design-build
- Construction management
- Monthly cost report, changes priced before approval
One project. One role. Never both.
If Xenofan gives the cost opinion on a project, we don’t bid on it, build it or manage it. If we deliver it, we don’t also review our own price. Your opinion stays independent, and our price stays open to scrutiny.
Every mandate is overseen by Martial Youadjeu, ing., PMP, Principal. Full background →
Delivery · Québec
Which delivery method fits your project?
The delivery method decides who designs, when the price is set and how many decisions come back to you. We recommend the right one at the needs-analysis stage.
| Design-build | Progressive design-build | Construction management | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Contract | One contract with Xenofan, covering design and construction. | One contract in two phases: design, then construction. | You sign with the trade contractors. Xenofan coordinates them and represents you. |
| Design | Led by our design team and checked against cost before work starts. | Developed with you, with cost tracked at every step. | By your architect or designer, coordinated by us. |
| When the price is set | Once the scope is defined. | At the end of the design phase, when you know enough to commit. | Package by package, as contracts are awarded. |
| Your involvement | Low to moderate. | High during design. | High: you approve each contract. |
| Best when… | The scope is clear and the move-in date is fixed. | The scope is still moving, but the budget must be set early. | You have an in-house team and phased work in occupied space. |
