  • "We worked with Terry, Holly, & Greg from Vigilant on our project with Bird Construction on our new East Coast Lifestyle Headquarters. They were a huge help along the way to help us understand all stages of the project. Without them helping to bring us some peace of mind & understanding of an industry that was new to us, I don't know how we would've done it without them."

    - Alex MacLean, CEO & Founder of East Coast Lifestyle

  • “Rebuilding and recreating the aging Majestic Theatre in the heart of St. John's was a daunting project for Terra Bruce Productions. We had to maintain a historic facade while turning a badly degraded building back into a functional theatre, all while navigating a Byzantine regulatory process that did not contemplate a renovation as extensive as ours. Vigilant pulled together an amazing team of contractors and trades-people, who brought enthusiasm, skill, and most of all pride, to their job. Vigilant did exemplary work keeping the project on time and on budget, and bridging the very large gap between the creative culture of a theatre company and the more prosaic world of builders, electricians and plumbers.”

    - Bob Hallett, Chief Operating Officer, Terra Bruce

  • “Working with the Vigilant Team has been a genuine pleasure. They are professional, practical, but most of all flexible as our project invariably takes turns in the road. Vigilant approaches its work with the highest ethical standards, which for a mission driven nonprofit like ours, allows us to align our efforts.”

    - Miia Suokonautio, Executive Director, YWCA Halifax

  • “Vigilant have proven themselves as a dependable partner during numerous construction projects over the past five years with the Capital Automotive Group. They have been able to substantially reduce the time and effort required by our management team to deal with the day to day headaches that come along with all construction projects. To have a partner who has our best interest in mind and represents our organization has been a breath of fresh air compared to more traditional project management structures”
