“We have great staff,” he says. “We have great staff who have a ton of experience in the industrial and the commercial marketplace. They’re seasoned; they have lots of projects under their belt. On the estimating side, they’re able to anticipate not just what the costs are today, but also some of the hiccups that we’re bound to run into. And you always run into hiccups. No project is without them, but being ready for them financially and staffing wise is critical – and so we are.” “We also work with the same sub trade partners on a regular basis,” he continues. “We’ve got two or three per trade, two or three per division that we work with on a regular basis that we trust, that we know can deliver, and we’ve been working with them for 20 years.” “We have a philosophy that we like to work with people we like, both clients and trades,” he reiterates. “That makes the projects go better, because we can turn to our partners, our friends, and say ‘I need a favour. We need to expedite a schedule. We need some additional work done.’ And they almost always give us that cooperation, which makes all the difference.” As previously mentioned, Dancor enjoys a particularly strong relationship with Coreydale Contracting Co., which is the fourth-largest earthmoving company in the province. According to Sean, having Coreydale as a close partner gives Dancor a “pretty strong advantage over others” in the industry. “They’re able to get us off the ground, which is usually the biggest worry on a project,” he explains. “Earth always has a bit of mystery to it. There are a lot of questions when you start a project that you don’t have answers to until you start working. ‘How much topsoil do we have? What are the conditions underneath? What are the things that we’re going to run into? What about water?’ But when you’ve got an earthwork company like Coreydale, you know that when you start the project you’re going to be okay, you are in great, trusted hands.” THE CONSTRUCTION SOURCE CANADA
