The Evolution of Ball Construction,
Kitchener's Premier Construction Firm Since 1923

Ball Brothers General Contractors was founded as a partnership of Harold and Frank Ball in 1923. They incorporated the growing company as Ball Brothers Limited in 1930. After World War II, Frank's son Bill and Harold's eldest son Jack joined the business. Harold's other two sons, Jim and Thom, also joined on. Their current head office on Victoria Street, Kitchener, Ontario was actually designed by Thom and built by Jim in the late 1960's.

Ball continued to develop a reputation for quality, consistency and stability. Their portfolio of work includes many of the largest and most challenging projects built in Ontario over the past seven decades. They have built hospitals, theaters and university buildings, as well as manufacturing plants, warehouses and a wide variety of corporate and commercial buildings.

What began as Ball Brothers General Contractors in 1923, has grown into Ball Construction with two divisions, Main Contracts Division and Special Contracts Division. Jason Ball, President and Cameron Ball,Vice President represent the third generation of owners. After lengthy involvement in estimating, marketing and project management with Ball, they have assumed responsibility for the firm's operation and strategic planning. In 2005, after twenty-five years with Ball, Gary Hauck, Vice President and Estimating Manager of Ball Construction joined Jason and Cameron as a partner. Jack, Jim and Thom Ball remain involved in Ball Brothers Limited's various other corporate efforts and holdings.
