Our
Our Past
Adam Heath and Stephen Jungaro met in 1995 while working together at a civil construction company. They shared a vision to one day build something of their own.
In 2002, that vision became reality with the incorporation of Matcon Excavation & Shoring Ltd. as the founding partners of Matcon Civil Constructors.
Originally specializing in excavation and shotcrete shoring, the company quickly adapted to meet industry demands. In 2004, we introduced jet grouting to handle complex soil conditions.
By 2006, Adam and Stephen became sole owners, setting Matcon on a trajectory of growth and innovation.
From our head office in Coquitlam, British Columbia, we’ve grown to serve clients across Canada. Our services now span excavation and shoring, civil infrastructure, demolition, environmental remediation, and rock stabilization.
In 2025, Matcon took another major step forward merging with Knappett Industries Inc., a trusted name on Vancouver Island with more than 30 years of industry leadership. This merger united two complementary companies with aligned values, expanded our capabilities, and extended our geographic footprint across Western Canada.
Together, we are stronger combining deep local expertise with shared resources and a unified vision for the future.
As a privately held and family-oriented business, our people remain our greatest asset.
We are deeply committed to the safety of our workers, the stewardship of the environments we work in, and the long-term success of our partners.
The future of Matcon, now strengthened by the legacy and talent of Knappett, is about building smarter, working safer, and growing together.
