Operations
Project managers, dispatch, and safety leaders work in lockstep with site supervisors to make sure mobilizations, haul permits, and inspections are ready before crews arrive.
Our history
From a small crew to a multi-division earthmoving partner
DSM was formed in 1986 with a handful of passionate operators. Decades later, the same obsession with doing things right still powers our crews, dispatch, and project management teams.
What began as a single excavator and a small but diligent crew has expanded into DSM Group’s full-service operation. We now support residential, commercial, and industrial projects with in-house excavation, trucking, and site preparation teams that know the Lower Mainland’s soils and regulatory frameworks.
Our project managers, estimators, and field forepersons collaborate daily to align logistics, traffic control, shoring partners, and servicing trades. We take pride in doing things safely, communicating clearly, and leaving a clean site for the next trade in.
