About Defence Construction Canada

Who We Are

Defence Construction Canada (DCC) is a Crown corporation that provides innovative and cost-effective contracting, construction contract management, infrastructure and environmental services, and lifecycle support for Canada's defence requirements.

Our Client-Partners are the Assistant Deputy Minister Infrastructure and Environment (ADM IE) Group at the Department of National Defence (DND) and the Communications Security Establishment (CSE).

What We Do

When DND decides to initiate a project, it contacts DCC to procure and manage the associated project contracts on its behalf. These projects range from innovative to traditional: from control towers to dockyards, from hangars to tank maintenance facilities, from community centres to accommodation facilities, and from roads to sewer and water systems. Some projects may simply involve everyday maintenance work. Others are more complex with very high security requirements.
