HISTORY

STERLING CONCRETE SAWING AND DRILLING LTD. is a construction service company established in 1980. Continuously active in a wide range of concrete related projects, we operate in South and South Western Ontario including locations between London and Belleville.

Sterling Pardy formed the company in 1980, and like many other new business owners he had to be a jack of all trades at his work, including doing the office work as well as the work on site. “It was definitely tough in the beginning, and involved a lot of long hours,” says Pardy. “I started during a downtime in the economy. After I made it through that period, I knew I could make it any time.”

While concrete cutting was once the main focus, Sterling has added several related services over the years. It is now a full service company, which greatly benefits the requirements of general contractors. Sterling says, “With us now offering a complete construction service, we’ve been able to attract more large projects.”

We are registered members of two unions in the Toronto Building & Construction Trades Council: The Laborer's Union 506, and the Plumbers & Pipe fitters Union Local 46. We are also members of the Toronto and Mississauga Construction Associations.

PERSONAL

Sterling Concrete Sawing and Drilling Ltd. is a family business with Sterling Pardy as the President, although he never calls himself that. Sterling spends most of his time on the road, supporting his men on site, giving leadership, and meeting his customers and prospects.

The office administration is headed by Sterling’s wife, Joyce Pardy, who also finds time to handle personnel matters, wages and corporate finances. Their son Dale Pardy is one of the project managers of the company. Involved also as a site superintendent from time to time, Dale operates machinery on site when required, and takes on duties such as site visits and take-offs for project estimates.

A native of Newfoundland and Labrador, Sterling Pardy was involved in the concrete cutting and coring industry since he was 18. After working for other people, he decided in 1980 that it was time “to fly on my own.”

Sterling and Joyce have several grandchildren, all of whom they adore. The also enjoy making annual visits back to visit other family and friends “down East” when time permits.
