Of all the projects Scott has worked on, he’s most proud of the development of the Corner Brook Acute Care Hospital, where he faced challenges managing the geotechnical and third party testing scope for what proved to be a massive project. He was also able to work with North American construction leader PCL/Marco. But most significantly, the completion of this project provided critical care and cancer treatment for the residents of the West Coast of Newfoundland, and for his own hometown of Corner Brook. Scott’s clients know he understands the challenges faced by the construction industry; the crew’s time is valuable, and he prides himself on accessibility and communicability with clients to ensure reports and results are delivered in a timely manner.
In his free time, Scott goes hunting and fishing on his land, and enjoys hockey, golf, NFL Sundays, reading books on business, and being with family. But his greatest passion is his company. He founded AllRock to challenge the existing culture of the geotechnical and materials industry, which he perceived to be lacking in the customer experience and reliable service. He built a team of vibrant and client-minded professionals who value a fun and fast-paced working environment. AllRock is a rapidly growing company with a bright future, and Scott believes strongly that it will soon become a model for best safety, fiscal, and client relations practices in the industry.
