In 2021, Ben Gaudry, Ken Woelders, and a group of partners opened Norcon Construction Services in Edmonton Alberta. The team’s vision was to create a small, service-oriented construction company that provided clients with exemplary service and value-adds at a cost-effective price. They hoped the idea would gain traction. Instead, it took off like a racecar. It started with word-of-mouth. “Potential clients were reaching out to us giving us opportunity to bid and execute projects,” Ken Woelders, COO, says. “We landed our first projects in that first year and immediately started hiring some amazing staff and craft along with purchasing our first pieces of equipment.” Fast forward to today: Norcon has grown to a team of 13 staff, with over 75 craft in the field and an equipment fleet of over 40 pieces. Revenues have increase year over year—a staggering 450 per cent increase in 2022 and an estimated 80 per cent increase in 2023—with projects though out Alberta and BC in the oil & gas, renewables, infrastructure and mining sectors. 45 AUG 2023 | BUSINESS ELITE CANADA
