OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE
The Heavy North team’s collective knowl-
edge and experience working for and with
large enterprise construction companies
makes them seasoned vets. The team
brings the same “operational excellence”
to a smaller project as it does to a larger
project, and everything in between. Fast
response times, exemplary project man-
agement and laser focus on completing
the jobs on-time has become the compa-
ny’s focus.
Though Heavy North may not necessar-
ily always the lowest contractor when it
comes to price, Bolen admits, clients re-
turn to Heavy North because of the over-
all value they receive. A greater accolade
would be hard to come by. “The bulk of our
work comes from repeat clients that we
do work for,” says Sawh. “We provide our
clients with the same amount of level and
detail with it comes to their bid packages
and project management and the type of
people we have to manage as the biggest
companies in the world—but with much
quicker reaction times and lower costs—
and that separate us from our competi-
tion.”
Blair Addison of Finning Canada, a suppli-
er of CAT equipment, parts and services
for Heavy North echoes this sentiment.
