The Early Days

Today's Contractor Working for Tomorrow

North Rock Group was founded in 1992 by the DiPede family, primarily as an infrastructure general contractor, providing complete servicing construction for both public and private projects. North Rock grew out of the C.M. DiPede Group, which had become one of Ontario's most trusted names in the field of sewer, watermain and road building, a reputation built on quality workmanship, integrity and value. Today North Rock combines its traditional values of hard work, trust and dedication with the latest technology and innovative construction techniques that foster quality, safety and timeliness.

North Rock has a long and solid history as a construction industry leader and today is at the forefront of the  industry due to the collective experience of their people. The management team spans six decades and many facets of construction and North Rock invests in  the most experienced and professional staff at every level, now employing a staff of 40, all of whom know the business and what clients expect.

North Rock also takes an active role in the construction industry and is a member of the Ontario Watermain Construction Association which represents approximately 700 contractors across the province. Tony Dipede was president in 2000 and still represents the association on the Board of the Council of the Ontario Construction Association (COCA) and the Canadian Construction Association's Trip and Road Builders Board. George DiPede is past chair of the association's Young executives Committee and is still a member of the YEC.

Looking ahead North Rock plans to maintain its leadership position by proactively managing change, by continuing to take an active role in the industry, by adopting leading edge techniques, and through a deeper level of teamwork with its project partners including developers, governments and communities.
