SMS Rents Keeps Restoration Environmental Contractors Job Ready
 |
MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO – Since Restoration Environmental Contractors (REC) introduced its Demolition Division in 2004 to augment its existing Environmental Abatement and Remediation services, SMS Rents has been there, as a dependable partner to meet the company’s heavy equipment and attachment rental needs. It’s a partnership that has allowed REC to complete shorter-term jobs like the Old Pines Retirement Home demolition and environmental remediation project in the District of Muskoka on schedule and within budget.
“We’re a total turn-key, full-service contractor that can offer clients everything from demolition to environmental remediation, asbestos removal, lead abatement and mould remediation,” says Don Bremner, President of REC Demolition.
“When we get a number of projects going simultaneously and need additional equipment, it’s more cost efficient for us to rent the necessary equipment for the smaller, 30 to 60 day projects. SMS Rents offers short-term solutions by filling the void for us and allowing us to meet schedules and finish projects on time,” says Bremner. “They also have the necessary attachments to do the job. They supply more than just the right excavator. SMS Rents has the tools to go with the job.”
Indicative of the type of short-term project is the Old Pines Retirement Home project REC has been working on in the District of Muskoka since May 1, 2008. The job involves the demolition and site remediation of the outdated Muskoka facility, which was replaced by a larger, newer retirement home two years ago. The project is expected to be completed by late June 2008.
According to Ron Kepic, Onsite Manager at the Old Pines project, the availability of Job Ready heavy equipment and attachments from SMS Rents Heavy Equipment Centre in Brampton has made planning demolition projects like Pines a lot easier. “SMS Rents was able to provide us with everything we needed for the Pines Retirement Home project,” says Kepic. “They’re dependable and their sales and service people are right there when you need them, with numerous locations to serve you, including one right here in Bracebridge.”
For the Old Pines project, REC rented two Komatsu PC200s and one Komatsu PC300. The PC300 is fitted with a Quick Attach converter with a grapple and bucket. One of the PC200s is also fitted with a Quick Attach converter with a grapple and bucket, while the other is fitted with a concrete breaker. REC booked the equipment with SMS Rents about four weeks in advance of the May 1 start date.
Both REC and SMS Rents are businesses that are run on their track records and relationships with their customers, something Doug Sexsmith, Branch Manager of SMS Rents Brampton Heavy Equipment Centre is quick to acknowledge. “We work alongside of our customers as partners in business so that we can produce a good end-result for them as we go forward together,” says Sexsmith.
Don Bremner at REC concurs. “In this industry, you’re only as good as your last job. We look forward to developing a long-term relationship with SMS Rents, so every job is as important as the last,” says Bremner.
