About Us

Who We are

History

Arctic Circle Construction Ltd. has been building across the North since 1993. Founded by President Michele Rizzi, the company is guided by a simple but powerful philosophy: client first, quality in everything we do, nothing is impossible, take calculated risks, and give back to the community. These values continue to drive every project we undertake.  For 33 years, Arctic Circle Construction Ltd. has been building in the North.

Over the years, we have built more than structures across Nunavut—we’ve built lasting relationships. Our team is deeply connected to Inuit communities and culture, and we are proud to operate as a truly northern company.

Headquartered in Iqaluit, Arctic Circle Construction provides general contracting services across the Nunavut Territory. Our work spans remote and complex environments, where experience, adaptability, and careful planning are essential to success.

As we continue to grow, we remain focused on what has always set us apart: reinvesting in our business, managing costs responsibly, and delivering reliable, high-quality results for our clients.

Mission

At Arctic Circle Construction Ltd., our mission is to deliver high-quality, reliable construction services across the North while putting our clients first in everything we do. We are committed to building lasting relationships, supporting and respecting the communities we serve, and operating with integrity, resilience, safely and with accountability. Through careful planning, calculated innovation, and continuous reinvestment in our people and processes, we strive to exceed expectations and contribute meaningfully to the long-term growth of Nunavut.

Arctic Circle Construction Ltd. is committed to delivering industry-leading construction services as general contractors and to developing high-quality, marketable rental properties that support long-term housing solutions across Nunavut. We prioritize client satisfaction through disciplined execution, consistently meeting or exceeding established schedules, budgets, and quality expectations.

We are equally committed to strengthening Nunavut’s economy by prioritizing the hiring, training, and development of local workers, ensuring that every project creates lasting value within the communities we serve.

Vision

Arctic Circle Construction Ltd. envisions a stronger, more self-sustaining Nunavut built through excellence in construction, responsible development, and lasting community impact. We strive to be the leading general contractor in the North, recognized for delivering complex, high-quality projects and developing market-ready rental properties that expand access to reliable housing across the territory.

Our vision is rooted in disciplined execution and unwavering accountability—consistently delivering projects on time, within budget, and to the highest standards of quality. We aim to set the benchmark for construction performance in northern Canada.

Beyond building infrastructure, we are committed to building opportunity. By prioritizing the hiring, training, and advancement of local workers, we seek to strengthen Nunavut’s economy and ensure that the benefits of every project remain within the communities we serve.

Through long-term investment, operational excellence, and deep respect for the North, we envision a future where our work contributes not only to development, but to lasting prosperity for Nunavut.

Arctic Circle Construction Ltd.’s vision, grounded in experience and driven by innovation, is to grow its general contracting operations by deepening its involvement in communities across Nunavut. This growth is achieved through strong collaboration with territorial and community stakeholders, including government partners, to support sustainable development throughout the region.

A key component of this vision is the hiring and development of both Inuit and non-Inuit local workers, providing opportunities to build new skills and capabilities that enable the company to meet the complex and evolving needs of its clients.

The company’s growth strategy is supported by a commitment to delivering high-quality products and services, active community engagement, a highly experienced management team, and a broad network of industry relationships and financial resources. Through these strengths, Arctic Circle Construction Ltd. continues to build long-term value for its clients and the communities it serves across Nunavut.
