“The biggest thing that we’ve done over
the past five years is develop relationships
at every level of this business,” Gray said.
This includes local and provincial govern-
ments. Oftentimes, these governing bod-
ies charge Baydo with construction proj-
ects meant to enhance the local economy.
For example, the company’s largest con-
struction to date, a rental project called
Baydo Place, was built with incentives and
grants from the government to address
the needs of the community.
“We’ve impacted the community in such a
way that we’ve built a name for ourselves,”
Gray said.
These relationships with clients, contrac-
tors and governing bodies — they are one
of the main things that have kept the com-
pany rooted to its home base of Saska-
toon.
“If you don’t have all these relationships
and if you don’t have that good name for
yourself, the word here travels very, very
fast and because we’ve developed both of
those things, now the whole community
is aware of what we’re capable of and is
willing to work with us,” Gray said.
