BUILT FOR WESTERN CANADA

Playing in the dirt, and thriving in the dirt – we don’t chase easy work, we take on the tough risky civil construction jobs, get our hands dirty, and build lasting partnerships. We do all that in our play ground of Western Canada, with an amazing Team.

BE GOOD HUMANS

We believe great companies are built by great people. At Option Excavating, we treat our employees, partners, clients, and communities with dignity, respect, and integrity. We value hard work, provide fair opportunities for growth, spare no expense to keep our team coming home to their families, and recognize the people who help build our success every day. We strive to create a culture where people are proud to work, contribute, and succeed together.

PASSIONATE FOR CIVIL

Civil construction is what we do — and what we love. From underground utilities and earthworks to road building and community infrastructure, we take pride in building the foundations that communities depend on. Whether we are developing new neighbourhoods or rehabilitating existing infrastructure, we bring passion, quality, and experience to every project we undertake.

TRUST

Trust is earned through actions, not words. We build trust by being transparent, delivering quality workmanship, working safe, standing behind our commitments, and building lasting relationships with our employees, clients, consultants, and partners. Our goal is to be a company people can rely on — in the office, in the field, and on every project we deliver.

NO FEAR

We are built to take on the tough projects. Option Excavating embraces the challenging civil construction work that others may shy away from — technically complex projects, high-risk environments, large-scale infrastructure, and design-build solutions. From estimating and planning through execution in the field, we bring confidence, adaptability, and problem-solving to every challenge. We don’t avoid difficult projects — we pursue them, we execute them and we close them.

FOUNDED IN

Who we are

AboutOption Excavating Inc.

Option Excavating Inc. (Option) is a full-service underground infrastructure installation company, located in Spruce Grove, Alberta serving all of Western Canada. We specialize in installing water, sanitary sewer and storm sewer main lines and services,and strive to provide our clients with safe, accurate and efficient installations.

Option’s beginnings successfully encompassed decades of underground work performed within the City of Edmonton and surrounding areas but in 2018 shifted the company’s direction to an under-served niche market within the petroleum/construction industry, effectively closing the underground division, and moving all manpower and resources to the new endeavour. The decision to pivot into a new market has been a rewarding and successful one.
