History

Tolkun Consulting Services in was formed in 2018 by Rick Tolkunow, P.Eng. a seasoned construction industry professional with over 35 years of progressive and varied experience in management, engineering and construction/project management, involving hundreds of projects, to provide services to the public and private sectors. Construction and project delivery has become increasingly complex with an ever changing regulatory, technological, political and organizational landscape. Many corporations and organizations simply do not have the full breadth of knowledge and historical understanding of many of these issues. Without this knowledge, critical missteps can occur. Tolkun Consulting Services was formed, in part, to address this need. Everyone knows that mistakes found early in the process are tens/hundreds/thousands of times more cost effectively addressed than during actual implementation. Tolkun Consulting Services is able to assist you from the very beginning of your initiative, through implementation to conclusion by bringing a seasoned industry professional into your discussions to help identify critical issues and assist with identifying options to deal with these issues and risks to your initiative. We exist to help our clients with cost effective, value added services tailored to your needs.
