Who We Are
When John Canavan founded The Canavan Group in 1987, he brought to the business a very diverse 18-year background in structural engineering experience. He has been involved in numerous types of construction projects from a complete off-shore platform installation in the North Sea to several high rise building projects in the Middle East to various commercial, industrial and residential projects in Southern California. Canavan's work history, project management experience, and education in design, has prepared him perfectly to form a construction management firm, headquartered in Palm Desert, California.
John Canavan is known for his integrity, management skills and exceptionally keen sense of humor. He treasures the personal rapport his business affords and its growth stems from referrals and satisfied, repeat customers. Canavan emphasizes that "working together and listening to every word is the key to a successful relationship".
Along with his wife Sue, John spends his time between his homes in California, Oregon and England.
