Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature
From its roots as a small residential landscaping and
excavation company, Nelson, B.C. based Kays Road Con-
tracting (Kays Contracting), has grown into a trusted con-
tractor, involved with home builders, and civil projects
across the province’s West Kootenay region including
Nelson, Castlegar, Trail, Slocan Valley, North Shore of
Kootenay Lake, Salmo and all areas in between.

Today the company works with homeowners on resi-
dential projects, as well as with general contractors, de-
velopers and municipal and provincial government
clients on civil projects.

Kays Contracting’s range of residential services in-
clude project planning, excavation, septic system instal-
lation, utility connections and landscaping. Civil project
services include road repair and installation of water
mains, sanitary sewer and storm sewer.

The company owns and maintains a diverse fleet of
equipment to take on a variety of projects, and also has
trusted relationships with other local contractors for
whom it can source other equipment that may be re-
quired. Owner Matt Hanlon says his staff of 10 last year com-
pleted 60 projects. “Our range of services offers great
value to clients. We are able to perform more aspects of
projects than many competitors and deliver the results
they need with less management.”
One recent project on which the team was able to
offer multiple services was the demolition, excavation
and site services required for the new Taghum Shell ser-
vice station construction west of Nelson.

Hanlon says Kays Contracting has become a relied-
upon partner for many local general contractors because
of its key values that include the tenacity to work through
challenges with a cool head; quality; and personal ac-
countability. Hanlon says the company supports local initiatives in-
cluding the Kootenay Lake Hospital Foundation, the ALS
walk, Little Oasis Benefit Society and Castlegar Rotary.
