hey, we’re Martennial

Cody Martens, our founder, often says, “We are stronger together.” This philosophy drives us to foster a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered.

About Us

At Martennial, we’re more than a framing company—we’re builders of trust, quality, and community.

Founded with 18 years of construction expertise, we’ve brought our specialized multi-family framing solutions to Calgary since 2022. Our work spans luxury condos, custom homes, and large-scale developments—all built on three unwavering principles:

1. Precision Engineering

Every frame optimized for safety and durability.

2. Seamless Collaboration

Integrated workflows with developers and trades.

3. Community Focus

Spaces designed to elevate Calgary’s neighborhoods.

What Sets Us Apart

1. Uncompromising Quality

We deliver precision framing through rigorous processes, working with trusted Canadian lumber suppliers and utilizing autonomous layout technology to ensure builds match architectural designs. Our thorough inspections verify structural integrity, code compliance, and design accuracy at every stage, producing reliable results that meet industry standards and client expectations.

2. Innovative Solutions

Our prefabrication shop transforms construction efficiency through precision-built wall panels, merging advanced CNC technology with skilled craftsmanship. By digitally optimizing every component in our controlled facility, we reduce onsite labor by 30% and material waste to near-zero while ensuring perfect fits and energy-efficient performance. The result? Faster timelines, fewer surprises, and consistent quality—regardless of weather or site conditions.

3. Client-Centered Approach

Your vision is our priority. We work closely with you at every stage, ensuring transparency, communication, and a seamless experience.

4. Commitment to Community

We’re proud to contribute to Calgary’s growth, building spaces where people live, work, and thrive.

Our Milestones

2016: Martennial is Founded

After years of growing other companies, Cody Martens founded Martennial Contracting Ltd., channeling his lifelong passion for carpentry into a new venture. Starting with renovations, decks, and fences, we rapidly expanded to 18 employees from 13 countries in our first year—building both structures and a diverse, collaborative culture. That inaugural year closed with record sales and a clear mission: to redefine quality construction through unity and craftsmanship.

2017–2018 — Growth Through Diversification

As demand increased, Martennial evolved strategically—launching a transportation division for material logistics while expanding into acreage homes and custom arenas. This growth demonstrated our adaptability and commitment to meeting clients' diverse needs with the same precision and professionalism.

2019–2020 — A Well-Oiled Machine

Through refined systems and disciplined processes, Martennial earned recognition for consistent, high-quality execution. Our success stems from three pillars: trusted client relationships, streamlined operations, and dedicated crews—the foundation that continues to drive our growth today.

2021 — Strategic Shift & New Chapter

Cody's move to Vancouver Island and hands-on property renovation reignited his passion for real estate, sparking an evolution in vision. This pivotal year marked a transition - from contractor to creator - as he refocused Martennial's expertise on framing excellence and lasting community impact through strategic development.

2022 — Full Commitment to Framing

Martennial strategically launched its framing division upon establishing operations in Calgary, bringing disciplined systems and years of expertise to the multifamily market. With rapid scaling to 25 skilled employees, we built a collaborative team culture designed for sustainable growth and exceptional project delivery.

2023–2024 — Building Excellence

Martennial rapidly grew into a premier multifamily framing specialist, expanding to 50+ skilled professionals while establishing ourselves as a trusted leader in Calgary's competitive market. Our reputation rests on three unwavering commitments: exceptional project execution, transparent communication, and core values that guide every decision.

2025–Present — Prefabrication Facility & Innovating for the Future

Martennial's new 18,000 sq. ft. prefabrication facility marks a strategic leap forward in serving Calgary's construction demands. This state-of-the-art operation enables high-volume production of precision wall panels and framing components, enhancing our capacity to deliver large-scale projects with:
• Unmatched efficiency gains
• Millimeter-perfect accuracy
• Tighter schedule reliability

From our beginnings in 2016 as a small renovation company to becoming Calgary’s trusted multifamily framing specialist, Martennial’s growth has been driven by innovation and excellence. Key milestones include expanding to 50+ skilled professionals, launching our dedicated framing division in 2022, and establishing an 18,000 sq. ft. prefabrication facility in 2025. Each step reflects our commitment to advancing construction through precision, efficiency, and strong values—building not just structures, but lasting industry relationships.

This is our story, and we are happy to build Calgary’s future.
