About Kidco Construction Ltd.
For over 35 years, we've been a proud extension of our client's team. No matter how simple or complex a job may be, we always step up, get the job done right and look for the best way of doing things – ways that will save clients time and money, and maximize their goals. What started as a family business focused on Earthworks has evolved into a full service company that approaches projects in a different way—one where the status quo is challenged and the highest standards are brought to the table.
We've had relationships with many of our clients for more than 30 years, where together, we've been united in our goals, and unwavering in our commitment to quality.
As a multi-service provider looking to achieve greater efficiencies, we offer Earthworks, Underground, Foundation Excavation, Trucking, Paint Shop and Heavy Hauling services. We bring intelligence, critical technical analysis, extensive experience and collaboration throughout every phase of every project. From concept to completion, our solutions, solid track record and unmatched resources help our clients remain leaders in their field today, and in the future. With great capacity, there is no limit to what we can do. We have a massive and diverse fleet that allows us to take on many large and small jobs at the same time, yet still leave room to take on more. And with our own maintenance shop and Heavy Hauling gear, there's no down time.
