THE STORY
Drilling-only. Multi-state. Plain-spoken.
MAK Construction was founded in 2010 in Grand Forks, North Dakota. Drilling started as a division to support our own infrastructure work, then grew into a service line for outside engineers, GCs, and developers asking us to mobilize rigs onto their projects.
Today, MAK Drilling runs as a dedicated brand because the work has grown big enough to deserve a focused conversation about drilling. We mobilize across more than 12 states from our Grand Forks headquarters.
We log every boring. We talk to clients like the engineers they are. And we ship the work backed by MAK Construction's operating standard.
