Pickard Construction

THE CONSTRUCTION SOURCE CANADA Between their six branches, Pickard Construction can com- plete work all across Ontario. They take on contracts of all siz- es, from projects that will take a couple of hours, to projects that can last multiple years. Accord- ing to Colin, they have the team and equipment to handle virtu- ally anything. The company’s fleet includes trucks, backhoes, large and small excavators, large and small direction drills, and large and small cable plows, and their staff typically numbers around 175 people. So no job is too large – but at the same time, no job is too small, and that’s on purpose. Colin says that flexibil- ity has been the key to the com- pany’s longevity. “The thing that sets us apart from the rest is that we are small enough to be flexible when re- quired,” he explains. “That has got us through the good and bad times, and what will keep us moving forward for years to come.” The other thing that sets Pick- ard apart, Colin adds – and the other major factor behind their enduring success – is the rela- tionships they form with clients. “We work to create quality work relationships,” he says. “We do that by listening to their needs and tailoring how we work with them on an individual basis. One size does not fit all. That ap- proach has gained us many cus- tomers and created some very longstanding relationships.” Everybody benefits
