🏅CLIENT REVIEW
Rated 5/5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
“Our pharmacy expansion was delayed due to permit issues and poor contractor coordination. Westaim Construction took over, navigated Calgary’s health facility codes effortlessly, and delivered a flawless, inspection-ready pharmacy ahead of schedule. Their expertise saved us time, money, and stress!”

Where Safety Meets Craftsmanship
Pharmacies demand meticulous attention to detail—from antimicrobial surfaces to precise HVAC controls for temperature-sensitive medications. We use healthcare-grade materials, modular casework for flexibility, and rigorous quality checks to ensure your pharmacy meets Alberta College of Pharmacy (ACP) and Health Canada standards. Every build is designed for durability, cleanliness, and seamless workflow.
“Westaim Construction – Trusted by Pharmacists, Built for Patients.”
Meeting Calgary’s Strict Pharmacy Regulations
We ensure all projects adhere to:
- Alberta Building Code (ABC) – Including accessibility (ANSI/B651) and fire safety (NFPA).
- Health Canada’s Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) – For compounding and sterile labs.
- Workplace Hazardous Materials (WHMIS) – Safe storage for pharmaceuticals.
- Municipal Zoning & Permits – Proper licensing for healthcare retail spaces.
- Occupancy Classification & Fire Ratings: Retail units must have proper fire-rated demising walls, exit signage, and access/egress per occupancy limits.
- Barrier-Free Design: Entryways, POS counters, and washrooms must meet accessibility standards including door widths, turning radii, and handrails.
- Ventilation & Energy Efficiency: HVAC upgrades or alterations must meet NECB guidelines and energy modeling requirements if systems are changed.
- Lighting & Electrical Load: Adequate lighting levels and power supply planning are required, especially for stores using high-wattage display fixtures or refrigeration.
- Change of Use Permits: Any space being repurposed (e.g., from office to retail) requires a formal change of use permit to ensure zoning alignment.
Westaim handles all permit applications, coordination with inspectors, and drawing submissions to ensure full compliance and smooth approvals.
