From the humble beginnings of being an owner/operator, Nigel has grown CME over the past 41 years to be the largest and most successful civil contracting firm in the Sea to Sky Corridor. Coastal Mountain Excavations Ltd has a reputation in the Sea to Sky Corridor for being the most experienced and best equipped heavy construction contractor to tackle any job large or small. We have been privileged to have some of the best talent from all across the world working for us over our 41 years in business. We are very fortunate to have an average tenure of over 15 years of service, with many having worked for us for over 30 years.  Thanks to our highly skilled and friendly staff, CME has enjoyed many years of great success, and in doing so has become one of the best employers in the Sea to Sky Corridor.  Our employees are our number one asset. Nigel still continues to lead a team of highly skilled construction professionals and will always call Whistler his home.  Nigel lives in Whistler with his wife Buff and have three kids, Matt, Carleigh, and Adam and has four grandchildren, Cooper, Olivia, Corden, and Peter.
