To this day, Bricon maintains an unequaled reputation among organizations and companies across Quebec. We are always growing; over the years, we have gone from a small family business to a major player widely appreciated for our reliability and the excellence of our work. Discover Bricon’s journey from 1987 to today.

Bricon is committed to becoming the most environmentally conscious contractor in the industry.
2018
In 2018, Bricon is joining forces with Bauval. This action allows the organization to maintain a competitive position in its ever-growing business sectors and thus benefit from the resources of a group such as Bauval.
