WESTRIDGE CONSTRUCTION LTD. CELEBRATING 30 YEARS
Westridge Construction Ltd. has become a well-known and respected company within the construction industry in Saskatchewan. They attribute their success in the last 30 years to “maintaining our culture – honesty, integrity and quality.”
The Early Years
In 1989 Leon Friesen started the company and invited three others to join him as shareholders: Harley Friesen, Craig Philips and Dan Neuls. Today, Leon is still actively involved as the President & CEO and has been instrumental in the success and reputation that Westridge has built in the last 30 years. Dan Neuls also remains involved in the ongoing success of the company as Field Operations Manager. Harley and Craig have both since retired.

Westridge began with a staff of about 20 people of which 6 still work for the company. They have grown into a company with 23 office staff, 16 project superintendents, and depending on the projects underway, 70-100 carpenter, apprentices and labourers.

Most Memorable Project
In 2009 Westridge bid & won the project for the Saskatoon Raw Water Supply System Intake Pumping Station. It was the largest and most complex project they had ever taken on to that date. That year they had the challenge of building a coffer dam in the South Saskatchewan River while managing abnormally high spring run-off. Westridge also provided several cost-saving suggestions to allow the project to be completed within the original budget constraints.
Party Time!
You can’t grow into a great company without recognizing the team who has helped create the 30 years of success. To celebrate, the entire team at Westridge went to Craven World for a BBQ dinner, giveaways, prizes and many shared laughs. With over 100 people in attendance it was a remarkable night celebrating the monumental success of 30 years in business!
Westridge has been an exceptional MERIT supporter with consistent representation on our board of Directors. Harley Friesen was our chair for 4 years, and Mike Lamontagne, Project Director at Westridge served on the board for 4 years. At MERIT we are extremely fortunate to have active members, like Westridge, who want to grow the open shop construction industry with integrity, honesty and fairness.
