Philosophy of Business

Our aim is to approach all projects, regardless of size, value, nature or customer with methodical execution and professionalism in order to ensure timely completion, quality of work and profitability. We believe that these are key elements of ongoing relationships that have built our firm and will continue to forge our future.

Our management team recognizes that with any large scale project, changes to the scope of work are a normal occurrence and that our flexibility to accommodate these changes is essential to maintain sufficient schedule demands. We also welcome extra work and force account items as the work facilitates additional revenue to the company. We do not however, buy into the widespread theory of “first get on the job, and then make it on the extras” as many contractors seem to attempt today.

An integral part of our strategic plan is that a professional and non-confrontational attitude towards the stakeholders on all of our projects furthers our goals outlined above. We also strongly believe that all parties involved in a project should be respected for their specific areas of expertise and are a valuable resource to be utilized to enhance project fluidity.

Competitive Advantages

A vast majority of our projects within the Industrial Site Works and some of the Forestry related projects are done through the bid process. This means that bids are submitted and through this public tendering process the most competitive (ie: lowest price) is typically the successful contractor, therefore indicating that our company is indeed competitive within this field of work. Most of these projects require Bid Bonds and Consent of Surety in order to be eligible, Lake Excavating Ltd., maintains a strong bonding capacity.

 

Lake Excavating Ltd., has both a full time Professional Engineer and Surveyor on staff . Having these two services in house provides us with a very distinct competitive advantage and provides for timely turnaround of construction and design/build projects for our customers.

Lake Excavating Ltd., owns a Navajo 310 airplane (7 Passengers) which enables us to facilitate supervision, supply of materials, and mobility of experienced operators to job sites which may be either inaccessible in some cases by normal modes of transportation, or they are remote locations that would otherwise take a substantial effort to get to otherwise.

Lake Excavating Ltd. has the expertise as well as the necessary equipment to work in various industries such as Forestry, Mining, Road Building, Industrial and Residential Works, therefore providing our clients and prospective clients with the diversification that sets us apart from our competition.
