Cox Construction

In 1953, Cox Construction established itself in Guelph with some very basic equipment ... a truck, tractor, semi-trailer and rope shovel. An asphalt plant was added to the fleet and the paving of gravel roads and driveways began. The addition of a gravel pit at Guelph Lake provided locally sourced aggregate for crushing and asphalt jobs. In the 1950s, and 1960s the four-lane 400 series highways were established in Ontario. Cox Construction completed its first of many 400/401 jobs in 1956. The heavy construction industry was revolutionized in the 60s and 70s by the introduction of diesel generators and hydraulic power and in the 90s by rapid advances in computer technology. Cox Construction is proud to have been at the forefront of this revolution, developing and integrating new techniques and equipment. Today, Regan Cox is the president of Cox Construction. He shares his dad's passion for advancing the business of building roads and believes that success comes from the hard work of skilled people using leading edge technology and tools.
