J & C Master Contracting INC.

Value as published, not money paid. The federal contract value field includes the ceiling of standing offers and supply arrangements — purchasing capacity a department may never draw on. A large figure here can mean a large ceiling rather than a large payment.

Awards are attached to this record only where the evidence identifies exactly one organisation: a name and postal area that narrow to a single company, or a name unique across the whole national corpus. Proactive publication truncates the vendor postal code to three characters, so anything that could belong to more than one company is left unattached rather than guessed at. Totals are a floor in that direction. The full rules.

Trade and licence class are the publisher’s own words, kept as written rather than mapped onto a vocabulary of this site’s invention — a Calgary “RESTAURANT” and a Montréal “Restaurant service rapide” describe the same thing and are not the same string, and pretending otherwise would put words in a city’s mouth. The industry code is the exception: NAICS is a standard shared across Canada, the United States and Mexico, so it means the same thing wherever it appears. Only some publishers assign one.

Declared project value is not money anyone paid this business. It is the cost of the work as estimated on the permit application, which is what the city collects to set its fee — not revenue, not a contract, and never audited. It is kept well away from the public money on this page for that reason.

Permits are matched to this record by business name alone, and only where that name means exactly one organisation in the whole national corpus. A permit’s address is the property’s, not the builder’s, so it is discarded rather than used to help the match — otherwise a homebuilder would be joined to whichever unrelated company shares a postal area with a lot it once worked on. Where a name is shared, the permit is left unattached rather than guessed at, so these totals are a floor. How this is attached.

Freshness is measured, not implied. “Last captured” is when this project last completed a read of the whole source dataset. “Coverage kept” is how many immutable captures and meaningful capture-to-capture comparisons are available. A missed day remains an explicit gap; a later snapshot cannot tell us what happened inside it. See every source.
