Central Canada's Commercial Contractor Since 1995

Three decades of commercial construction experience, built on honest work and lasting client relationships.

Built from the Ground Up

Bonafide Construction Solutions was founded in 1995 by Ralph Herlick. With years of experience in the construction industry and a clear vision for how a contractor should operate, Ralph set out to build something different: a company that genuinely kept clients and their customers satisfied.

The company started with maintenance jobs and small remodels for retailers like Sobeys and Safeway. Those early relationships were built on reliability and quality, and they became the foundation for everything that followed.

Over time, Bonafide's client base grew to include national department stores, financial service offices, grocery chains, and a wide range of commercial and retail clients across Manitoba.

Continuity You Can Count On

Founder

Ralph Herlick

Former President & CEO

Ralph founded Bonafide in 1995 after years in the construction industry. His vision was straightforward: build a company that delivered quality work and kept clients satisfied. That vision shaped everything Bonafide became.

"I wanted to bring in my own ideas and visions and create a company that kept our customers and their customers satisfied."
Current Leadership

Jeff Herlick

President & CEO

Jeff started at Bonafide more than 20 years ago as a general labourer. He learned every aspect of the business from the ground up, and that hands-on experience is exactly what makes him effective. Under his leadership, Bonafide has grown into a full-service commercial general contractor.

"I have watched and listened to everything going on around me and have an abundance of knowledge on every process of construction. I have taken Bonafide to the next level with the help of our customers and employees."
