What Lemare Group does

Lemare Group is a privately held Canadian contractor founded in 1984 and headquartered on Northern Vancouver Island, British Columbia, on the traditional territory of the Kwakwaka'wakw Peoples. The firm operates through two integrated business lines: Lemare Construction, which delivers heavy civil construction services (roads, bridges, marine infrastructure, drilling and blasting, demolition, remediation, and rugged terrain access), and Lemare Forestry, which provides sustainable forest management services (full-phase timber harvesting, environmental stewardship, reclamation, GIS, engineering, and tenure management). The company's customer base is enterprise-grade and concentrated in British Columbia's resource and infrastructure economy — notably oil and gas pipeline projects (Trans Mountain Corp, Western LNG/Ledcor), mining (PWC/Neucel, KSM), energy, and environmental services.

The firm's core proprietary technology is the Steep Slope Cable Delivery System (S3) — a full-suspension cable system with GPS-referenced line view cameras used to place aggregate and topsoil on terrain inaccessible to standard equipment. S3 has been deployed on the Trans Mountain Expansion Project Spread 5B in Othello, BC. Supporting operational scale includes 5,000+ kilometers of remote resource roads constructed and 775,760 trees planted across 775 hectares (2021–2025). Lemare holds WORKSAFE BC COR, BC Forest Safety Council SAFE, and ISN Prequalified Contractor certifications, and has formal Indigenous partnerships including with Quatsino First Nation on the PWC Neucel Pulp Mill Remediation Project in Port Alice.

The business model is project-based, generating revenue primarily from one-time construction contracts (bids awarded by project owners and prime contractors such as Ledcor and Macro Industries) and professional services revenue from forestry tenures and resource management contracts. Distribution is direct enterprise sales targeting prime contractors and resource project owners in BC; pricing is quote-based on project scope. The company is led by Managing Director Chris Dutcyvich, with Eric Dutcyvich as President & CEO, supported by a seven-person executive team including RPF and CPA credentials. Lemare remains privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, or revenue figures.
