There was a time in the corporate community when business was conducted on a handshake and a man's name was his most important reference.  For Al Hendriks, those times haven't changed.  Old-fashioned ethics - like honour, integrity and family values - are the philosophies on which his company is built.   Hendriks Construction Ltd. is a family firm, founded by Al in 1975 and operated today by a management team that includes his three sons Perry, John and Allen, and his daughter, Angie.  "My name to me is worth everything" Al, Sr. says. "This is a tough business, and to defend our name is something we work hard at.  Our first priority is looking after our clients."   When asked about the company's greatest strength, Al doesn't hesitate.  "We deliver on our promises", he says.  "I'm from the old school.  We deliver a good product, and we're proud of it.  With our family team, we have developed a very lean and efficient construction company.  Our boys are very versatile.  They're not just site superintendents.  They all learned from scratch, and they know what's involved - how to take a project from ground zero and work up from there.  They can do concrete foundation work, jump on the tools to do the millwork, then go in and hang the doors.  They physically do a lot of the work, which makes us extremely competitive."   Hendriks' personnel are experienced and proficient in going far beyond their supervisory roles.  They can provide excavation, demolition, framing, finish carpentry, surveying and concrete work - an impressive roster of expertise.  The company's portfolio runs the gamut from industrial complexes and retail shopping centres to churches, recreational facilities, seniors' residences and much more.  That reputation for versatility has allowed Hendriks Construction to carve out a unique and enviable niche in the local building market.   If there's one other special talent that raises Hendriks Construction Ltd. above the rest, it's the ability to squeeze exceptional results out of a limited budget.  They take pride in constructing churches that are as beautiful as they are functional - and have many hallmark achievements in Edmonton to prove it.  And although the company has worked in other parts of the country, Al and his management team have no intention of expanding into branch offices outside of Edmonton. "We had all kinds of opportunities to grow," Al says, "but we plan to stay right here.  We like to maintain close-up, hands-on contact with our projects."
