CANADA all , of their projects .
The NCC Warehouses , another project , currently in phase 3 of construction , that consists of several high quality warehouses . These are the some of the most expensive warehouses to rent due to their strength and weather tolerance . In fact , NCC Development uses two for storing temperature sensitive goods as well as our carpentry shop where they do custom millwork for various clients . Phase 3 is expected to be completed this year .
In efforts to help the Inuit community preserve their archives of Inuit footage , a new IBC ( Inuit Broadcasting Corporation ) studio is being constructed . The IBC decided they need a new location to store the footage about 4 years ago but the original drawing was too expensive . That ’ s when NCC Development stepped in and worked out a new solution that still met the needed requirement of the IBC but was within a suitable budget . This project is a great benefit to the entire north because the footage is so rare . Synard explains that only two generations ago people lived on the land so footage of the Inuit ancestors is very limited . NCC Development will be breaking ground on the project this month and is expected to be completed by December .
Though the projects that NCC Development builds may not be the most expensive projects seen today , they hold a significance within the community that leaves employees proud to be a part of it and happy to go to work . Synard states ,

“ I ’ d rather take 3 % less on a project to see it go ahead then to dig my feet into the sand and wait for them to find some money ”
