We specialize in complete residential, commercial, and industrial demolition projects. Our team uses WorkSafeBC-certified equipment with Falling Object Protection and Roll Over Protection systems. With over 900 completed demolitions, we ensure safe, efficient removals while managing hazardous materials abatement and recycling programs that diverted 4.5 million metric tons of waste from landfills.
Excavation
Our excavation services cover foundations, subdivisions, and utility installations. We provide precise site grading, test-pitting, and underground sewer connections using modern machinery. Projects range from small residential digs to large municipal infrastructure developments, all executed with strict adherence to safety regulations and environmental protection standards.
Hazardous Material Clean-up
We handle asbestos, lead, vermiculite, and mold detection/removal as mandated by WorkSafeBC. Our certified professionals conduct pre-demolition surveys and compile hazardous material reports. This service ensures regulatory compliance while protecting workers and the environment during demolition and renovation projects across the Okanagan Valley.
Road Construction
Our road construction and site clearing services include grading, drainage installation, and aggregate base preparation. We work on both private and municipal properties, delivering durable infrastructure solutions. Projects often follow demolition phases, allowing seamless transition from site clearance to new construction development.
Environmental Management
We implement comprehensive recycling programs that reuse crushed concrete as structural ground coverage. Our environmental professionals prepare pre-demolition reports and coordinate with client-hired consultants. This approach reduces landfill waste while supporting sustainable construction practices throughout British Columbia's Okanagan region.
