hen you enter the double doors at Westcor Construction Ltd., an air of energy and enthusiasm greets you. Curved walls showcase many of their keynote projects, along with the Gold Seal credentials that management has earned over the years. They are all displayed proudly – it’s a company that has worked hard to earn a respectable position in an industry that’s tough on business. When the founders of Westcor established the company 10 years ago, they set out to service the mid-sized construction market with a mantra that reads: every client should believe their project is the most important one — a lofty goal even by today’s standards but the founders were steadfast as they rolled up their sleeves and went to work. Three colleagues started Westcor: Bob Robinson, Brad Hammond and Val Stordy — all of who had worked together in the industry for many years. Robinson and Hammond came up through the project management side and Stordy worked on the administration side, and as Robinson notes, it was simply the right time to start Westcor. To round out the executive team, Andrew Morgan joined a short time later, adding more experience to the operations side of the business. “We found there were many companies that serviced the

smaller markets, but there were very few that looked after the mid-sized market,” says Robinson. “When we started Westcor, we brought large-company experience to the marketplace, but we delivered a level of service that’s very personalized.” And this mentality was soon coined the ‘Westcor Way.’ Their philosophy was so integral to the day-to-day operations that it became the foundation of their mission statement – seeking to provide the highest level of customer service, while demonstrating excellence in safety and integrity. Quality, workmanship and cost-effective solutions also sat at the forefront and became the standards by which they measured their success. The Westcor Way is all encompassing: it engages innovation, imagination and collaboration. They are progressive thinkers, proactive industry leaders and consummate professionals. No detail is too small and no project is too large to deliver the personalized service that’s become their signature. During the startup years, the founders’ strategy worked extremely well and before long, Westcor carved out a reputation for being one of the go-to companies to call for construction projects in the mid-sized market.
