Corporate Overview

Optimus Building Corporation (formerly known as Opus Building Corporation) has earned an international reputation in office building design and construction since it was founded over 40 plus years ago by Willard E. Olauson (President) and J.J. (Joe) Shannon (Executive Vice President).

Since 1983, Optimus, through various legal entities, has created and overseen the office building plans, design and construction of over 15 million square feet of office, high tech, industrial and retail facilities, custom-built to our clients' specifications. (See our showcase of office building design projects built in the past).

Our Unique "Design-Build" Method of Office Planning and Design Allowed Us to Create Value For Our Canadian Clients at the Time

Over the years, Optimus, through various legal entities, has helped pioneer the field of Design-Build office planning and design. This process eliminates the step-by-step approach used in traditional architect/contractor building modes and replaces it with a unified approach that involves all facets of the project simultaneously. By centrally coordinating all processes and doing them at the same time whenever possible, we avoid the modifications that tend to plague linear-managed projects.

Our method also eliminates conflicts and communication gaps that can lead to scheduling and budget overruns. It ensures a smooth interface among all aspects of office planning and design, right through to construction and completion. It helps achieve maximum quality by guarding the integrity of the original concept throughout the entire project.

And it has ensured our customers' satisfaction for over 40 plus years.
