In 1970 Stephen G. Revay and a few selected colleagues from a heavy civil contracting firm which was closing its doors, founded a small consulting company in Montreal. Initially, their aim was to provide typical construction management services. Their contractor clients, however, had other ideas. Over time, more and more clients engaged Revay and Associates Limited to assist them in seeking redress for perceived injustices on construction projects. This new line of work was a challenge, enthusiastically regarded as an opportunity that needed to be addressed.
From its modest beginnings, the firm has grown and evolved to include a staff of over fifty construction professionals, operating from five offices across Canada and one in the United States. It has successfully completed assignments on five continents, and enhanced its reputation as an industry leader in construction dispute resolution. Moreover, it has expanded and diversified its service offerings, which now include a broad range of project management services.
The firm’s client base now embraces the full spectrum of the construction industry including private sector owners, all levels of government, general contractors, trade contractors, architects, engineers, legal firms, financial institutions, as well as a variety of industry associations. Its senior professionals are frequently in demand as speakers at industry conferences and training seminars, and continue to promote the original objectives of advocating fairness in construction contracting procedures. Although the year 2004 marked the passing of the founder, Stephen G. Revay, and the end of an era, the torch has been passed to a new generation of management and staff within Revay and Associates Limited. These professionals look forward, individually and collectively, to continuing the development of business relationships with past and present associates as well as the evolution and growth of the present range of services to an even wider client base, while continuing to build on the goals and legacy established by the founder.
