In April 1985, Kim Johnson started Akela Construction Ltd . in order to meet the needs of clientele looking to build small to mid-sized projects. The thinking back then was simple – work with a select group of trusted sub-trades, service clients one project at a time, build on past performance with repeat customers. Akela Construction has grown into a family business, based on same philosophy.

Akela is an ambitious general contracting firm that specializes in unique and challenging projects in the commercial and industrial sectors in and around the Calgary area. Over the years Akela has grown and now has a range of clients and projects.
