In 1974, with my good friend Ken Smith, we formed Kenaidan in order to help pay our tuition through university. Upon graduating in 1978, Kenaidan continued to grow and prosper with the help of all the great people here at Kenaidan.

Kenaidan began as a snow plowing company to generate money to help pay our university tuition fees. In addition to snow plowing, we also took on small projects including landscaping, fencing, and deck building contracts. Over the past 50 years, Kenaidan has grown from a small contracting firm into a recognized name in the construction industry. 

Our business philosophy back then was simple; work hard, operate with integrity and have fun. This philosophy hasn’t changed over the years. Our most valuable resource has always been our people. Together, we make a powerful team with a vast wealth of knowledge, experience, determination, and commitment to success that will continue to drive us forward.

At Kenaidan, we believe that the future of this company brings continued growth, success and learning opportunities for all Team Kenaidan members. As we continue to break new ground with the projects we build and the services we provide, we hope you’ll consider Team Kenaidan in your building plans or career for the future.

At Kenaidan, we pride ourselves on being able to build anything, overcome any challenge, and know that we put our utmost effort into getting it done. Safety, quality, and production—in that order!

Throughout my 29 years in construction, I’ve been fortunate to meet lots of great people. I was first introduced to Kenaidan back in 1997, that’s when I began my career here as a Surveyor/Labourer. Throughout this time, I’ve seen the company grow and improve firsthand and I’m proud to be part of such a great team.

Kenaidan represents what it means to be a true builder – we take pride in knowing that we put our best foot forward on every project we undertake. Collaboration, innovation, and progression are key to our success. I look forward to many new opportunities that lie ahead and I’m excited to see what new projects we can hang our name on.

Strong, resilient teams that work together can accomplish great things. That’s Team Kenaidan.
