Founder’s Message

Years of construction experience has taught us a number principles and philosophies that we have used as the building block foundation for Drake Contracting Ltd.

To mention just a few:

  • Service with Safety
  • You only get one chance to get it done right the first time
  • Recognize our strengths and limitations
  • Like spokes in a wheel everyone in our organization has an important role and we rely on them to perform their task in a safe, efficient, and conscientious manner
  • It only works well if the customer, employer, and employees are all satisfied
  • Provide a quality service at a fair price

Drake Contracting Ltd is now a second generation business and we take great pride in our staff and reputation! We have been able to attract many very capable and conscientious workers over the years and have been able to help many of them attain their goals through mentoring, training, and promotions as the opportunities have arisen thus giving us a very knowledgeable and stable team.

I appreciate the opportunities that have come our way, and my ever supportive wife and family that helped make this all possible. As we move forward we will always recognize the people and values that have brought us this far these are also the common denominators that we will carry forward to assist with growth and development in the future.
