Our History
In 1986, the Aquino brothers founded Aquicon, starting small as a general contractor, building schools while establishing strong relationships with sub-trades and earning a reputation for excellence. Over the years, our company has expanded to serve a wide range of sectors, including recreation centers, multi-story residential facilities, operation centers, and post-secondary institutions. Despite our growth, we have made it a point of pride to retain the same hands-on approach from our earliest days to the present. Every single project, regardless of size, continues to benefit from the direct involvement of our most senior people. Every build is treated as high-priority, and every client receives the full advantage of decades of technical knowledge and practical experience.

Customer Service Issues
The company has received several complaints regarding poor customer service. One reviewer, Lorne McAleer, had a negative experience when asking a driver not to block a customer parking spot. The driver responded rudely and unprofessionally, telling McAleer to call a tow truck. McAleer also reported the incident, including the date, time, and license plate of the vehicle, suggesting that the company should be concerned about how they are being represented.
Another reviewer, John MacLeod, had a similar experience, almost being crushed by a pickup truck driving recklessly in a traffic lane. MacLeod reported the incident, including the license plate number and dash cam video.
Inconsistencies in Review Comments
A stark contrast to these negative reviews is the glowing review from Daniel Guida, who praised the company for being professional, polite, and outstanding to work with.
Site Operations and Site Superintendents
Viral King's review highlights another issue with the company: the behavior of site superintendents. King's friend lost his drone on a site where the company was working, and the site superintendent was reportedly rude and stopped answering the friend's calls.
