“Reimar was able to meet the challenges and the many design changes were handled in a timely and efficient manner. The forming part of this project was completed ahead of schedule in spite of one of the coldest winters on record.” — Scott Reitsma, Project Manager at BIRD Construction

Strong Foundation

REIMAR’s story starts with Carlos Reis and his move from a small farm in Portugal to France in the 1960s. Carlos made the move to begin working construction at the young age of 14 and worked in France until he turned 20 when he followed his older brother’s lead and moved to Canada searching for opportunity. He found it in Hamilton Ontario where he continued his work in construction, quickly becoming foreman and moving into the carpenters union as a journeyman carpenter. Having developed a reputation for his skill and high volume, Carlos was sent to the southern United States where he led the condo and high-rise developments for a major forming company over the course of nine years. Carlos returned to Canada working under what eventually became JDR Construction where he met Mike Martins who would apprentice under him as a carpenter. After years working together, Mike approached Carlos with the idea of starting a company of their own.

In August of 2003 they did just that, launching REIMAR with a small team of highly skilled individuals. Mike and Carlos quickly attracted the interests of top carpenters and laborers familiar with their work. The REIMAR team grew, and with it their reputation for quality and efficiency began, establishing themselves as leaders in concrete forming across ICI and high-rise residential sectors. From 2003 to 2009 the company doubled in gross sales every year, leveraging their reputation for quality workmanship, speed of execution, and safety to take on larger projects.
