Colony Construction delivers a full spectrum of steel construction services across the United States, combining more than 40 years of field experience with the engineering depth, fabrication capacity, and single-source accountability that US industrial projects demand. Since 1985, we have completed over 700 projects spanning remote mining sites, hydroelectric powerhouses, oil and gas facilities, sawmills, manufacturing plants, and aviation infrastructure. In the US market, Colony focuses on 12 target states – Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, California, and Texas – and the Mountain West region, serving major US mining operators, Permian Basin producers, Pacific Northwest sawmill operators, Boeing-adjacent aviation clients, and hyperscale data-center developers.
Our nine services are designed as complementary capabilities rather than siloed offerings. Pre-engineered steel buildings deliver speed and cost certainty for predictable rectangular envelopes. Conventional steel construction handles heavy cranes, irregular geometry, and architecturally exposed framing. Hybrid steel solutions combine both approaches where part of the building needs PEB economy and part needs conventional capacity. Behind every build, our in-house engineering and Tekla detailing team produces stamped drawings, connection designs, and fabrication-ready models coordinated with licensed US PEs for state-by-state permit stamping.

Our Approach
Colony delivers every US project to AISC 360-22 structural design, AISC 303 Code of Standard Practice for fabrication tolerances, AWS D1.1:2020 for welded joints, and ASCE 7 for wind, snow, and seismic loads. We apply AISC 341 seismic provisions on Seismic Design Category D and E sites across California, Alaska, and the Wasatch Front, and coordinate state-by-state permit stamping through a network of licensed US PE partners. Field execution runs under OSHA 29 CFR 1926, with MSHA compliance layered in for mining sites and FAA / NFPA 409 integration for aviation projects. Every service is available under single-source delivery – one contract, one schedule, one accountable team from concept through commissioning.
Frequently Asked Questions
What construction services does Colony Construction offer US owners?
Colony offers eleven services to US clients: pre-engineered steel buildings, conventional steel construction, hybrid steel solutions, engineering & detailing, open-web steel joists, cladding & roofing systems, structural components, doors / glazing / hangar doors, design-build, self-perform steel erection, and mechanical system work. All work adheres to AISC steel standards and AWS D1.1 welding specifications.
What US industries does Colony's service catalog cover?
Mining (gold, copper, oil-sands, diamond), energy (hydro, oil & gas, biomass), data centers, aviation (hangars for operators like Conair), forestry and integrated lumber mills, agriculture (controlled-environment greenhouses, cold storage), manufacturing plants, and institutional sports / recreation facilities.
Does Colony handle cold-climate and remote-site US projects?
Yes. Colony has delivered in Arctic conditions (Kupol, Diavik), Yukon hydroelectric sites (Mayo B), and mountain-west / Pacific Northwest industrial. Cold-weather CVN testing, heated enclosure strategies, and remote-site material staging are standard operating practices, not project-specific learning curves.
How does Colony compare to US-only general contractors?
Colony's advantage is depth of heavy-industrial repetition - 700+ projects across 40 years, with a concentrated track record in mining, energy, and extreme-climate work. US-only GCs may have local permitting speed, but Colony's in-house engineering + fabrication + erection stack eliminates the layered subcontractor risk that drives cost overruns on complex industrial builds.
