About Us

At Chew Excavating Ltd. we are dedicated team of experienced professionals specializing in top quality Heavy Civil and Demolition services.  Established in 1955, Chew Excavating evolved from a single backhoe to one of the largest excavation and civil construction companies on Vancouver Island.  Joining the Ralmax Group of Companies in 2015, Chew Excavating then combined forces with Ralmax Contracting to form Chew Contracting. In 2024, the company officially changed its name to once again be known as Chew Excavating Ltd.  

Still with the resources of the Ralmax Group, Chew Excavating Ltd. continues to focus on excavation, road works, underground utilities as well as demolition, deconstruction, and hazardous materials removal.  From small-scale residential projects to large-scale commercial or municipal/provincial ventures, we have the knowledge, skills and resources to tackle any challenge with precision and efficiency.

Chew Excavating Ltd. is committed to upholding the highest safety, environmental and quality standards. We are COR certified, and our organization has Government of Canada security clearance. Chew takes great pride in maintaining a large fleet of trucks and heavy-duty equipment.  We see value in constantly investing in the latest equipment technology to offer the best service possible to our customers.
