Another thing clients appreciate about the company, Jon believes, is that they are “truthful and honest,” and they keep “open lines of communication.” “If there’s a challenge on a project, we bring it up right away,” he says. “We let the client know what the challenge is and what the path forward is to finding a solution. And we’re collaborative when we walk that path. We involve the client in the decision-making process. We work with them, we don’t just tell them how it’s going to be.” Caribou Mountain Construction is also highly committed to the health and safety of their employees, subcontractors, and clients. Jon believes that’s one more thing clients appreciate. Jon explains how that commitment to safety is reflected in the company’s COR certification – COR being a nationally recognized health and safety certification program for employers in the construction and related industries. To obtain COR certification, a company must achieve an 80 per cent score on a certification audit by an external auditor, and to retain certification they must repeat that feat every two years. Over the past couple years, Caribou Mountain Construction has actually increased their COR score from 80 to 97 per cent – which demonstrates their dedication to continuous improvement and to ensuring that “everyone goes home to their families at the end of the day,” Jon says. Relatedly, Caribou Mountain Construction is also committed to the health and protection of the environment. According to Jon, “environmental protection is always top of mind – we recognize we are stewards of mother earth and must protect the environment for future generations.” One more point of difference is the company’s membership in the larger Little Red River Group of Companies – which is a diversified group with a wide range of expertise that Caribou Mountain Construction can access and leverage as needed. In addition, between their various divisions, the group maintains a wide variety of equipment, which Caribou Mountain Construction can also access when needs arise. The group’s diverse fleet includes: cable/conduit plows, excavators, mini excavators, bulldozers, graders, packers, mulchers, skid steers, a marine dredging barge, rock trucks, gravel trucks, and a 100 ton allterrain crane.
