A Name Built on Dependability
Starting with a lone Bobcat and a contract in 1993, Jakes Construction has grown into a dependable builder of vital transportation infrastructure in BC.
Where Quality Meets Capability
To us, rolling up our sleeves is more than just a figure of speech. It’s how we’ve tackled every job from day one–getting right down to business to deliver quality results, whatever it takes. You could say that we’re a chip off the old block because, like Jake himself, we’re not afraid of a little old-fashioned hard work to get the job done right.
Infrastructure
We build the infrastructure that keeps our province moving. From roads and utilities to everything in between, we’re the full-service heavy civil contractor that paves corners but never cuts them.
Environmental
As a company that’s entrenched in the communities we work in, we provide comprehensive environmental services to facilitate recovery after a disaster and to proactively mitigate the effects of future events.
Concrete and Aggregates
We provide solutions for gravel processing, rock quarrying, concrete sales, and aggregate sales, allowing us to get you the materials you need, when you need them.
Utility Construction
On the surface, we build roads. Below the surface, we do everything required to make them safe and functional. We consider ourselves to be a top-to-bottom road builder.
Grading & Earthworks
Need a site cleared? We’ve got you covered. With our skilled team and extensive equipment fleet, we can handle all your land-clearing and bulk-earthworks needs, including rock blasting and drilling.
Completed Civil Projects
We take pride in our work. But while flaunting it isn’t our forte, we aren’t afraid to show it and let it speak for itself.
