I` <br />License NO 673371 <br />DEMOLITION AND GRADING CONTRACTORS <br />Company Profile <br />West Coast Land Clearing is engaged in the construction industry as a <br />subsidiary of the D. Thomas Corporation and provides services to hundreds of <br />customers including municipalities, developers, general contractors and facility <br />owners throughout California. The services include demolition and site clearing, <br />interior demolition, site grading, excavating, recycling, and equipment rental. <br />In 1963, John C. Dodd, a General Contractor, saw the demand for a reliable <br />demolition contractor in the Long Beach area. After the purchase of a loader and <br />a truck, it did not take long for the John Dodd Company to become a force in <br />the Southern California demolition industry. Over the next decade the company <br />grew to own several loaders and a half- dozen demolition trucks, as well as <br />assembling a team of fifteen to twenty employees. <br />In 1978, Dave Thomas, who had been working for the company from its <br />inception, took over the day -today operations as Vice President and General <br />Manager. During the 1980's, Dave helped transform the John Dodd <br />Company into one of the elite demolition contractors in Southern California. <br />After attending college, Dave's two sons, Rob and Brian, joined the management <br />team in 1985 and 1991, respectively. With this addition, came the spirit of <br />diversification. In 1987, Rob Thomas helped start a grading division of John <br />Dodd Company called J.D.S. Excavating & Grading. By branching off to <br />include site grading, the company could offer its clients a more complete <br />package of services by delivering sites that are ready for construction. Together, <br />the companies achieved great success and growth, with an expanding clientele <br />base and over thirty employees. <br />P.O.
