First Nations Partnerships
Real participation through real technical work
Major projects increasingly require meaningful Indigenous procurement. Project owners want more than a name in a proposal — they want genuine Indigenous ownership performing clearly defined work that can be measured, delivered and documented. That is exactly what PCI provides.
The PCI Difference
Not a paper participant
PCI Surveys is a First Nations-owned company providing specialized field services — construction surveying, private utility locating, GPR, drone mapping, photogrammetry and LiDAR — that can be assigned as a clearly defined subcontracted scope on your project.
When PCI joins a project team, we are there to perform meaningful work. Our participation shows up as completed layout, delivered locates, processed LiDAR, and field records your project can rely on — line items with real contract value, staffed by real crews.
For contractors and proponents, that means Indigenous participation commitments you can meet with confidence and document without difficulty. For project owners and communities, it means procurement targets translating into genuine Indigenous business activity.
What PCI Brings to a Project Team
Five things you can count on
01
First Nations Ownership
PCI Surveys is First Nations-owned. We can provide appropriate company and ownership documentation when required for procurement, proposal or compliance review.
02
Defined Technical Scope
PCI takes responsibility for surveying, layout, locating, GPR, drone mapping or LiDAR packages — with identifiable personnel, deliverables and contract value that can be measured and reported.
03
Experienced Field Services
Professional survey, locating and drone equipment producing field information and deliverables that project managers, engineers and construction teams actually use.
04
Geographic Coverage
PCI supports projects throughout British Columbia, Alberta and the Yukon — including industrial, mining, infrastructure and remote sites.
05
Flexible Engagement
Engage PCI as a subcontractor, specialist service provider, bid team member, project partner, or part of a defined Indigenous participation plan — whatever structure fits the project.
How Partnering Works
Three steps to a working partnership
01
Connect Early
Involve PCI during the RFQ, RFP or tender stage so the required services, schedule and participation plan can be properly defined — before commitments are made on paper.
02
Establish the Scope
Together we identify the services PCI can realistically perform, the expected contract value, project schedule, deliverables and site requirements.
03
Perform and Document
PCI performs the agreed work and provides the field records, deliverables and reporting information the project requires — participation you can point to, not just reference.
Who this page is for: general contractors, project managers, engineering firms, procurement teams, Indigenous communities, Crown corporations, utilities, mining companies and public-sector owners preparing bids or building project teams in British Columbia, Alberta and the Yukon.
