The construction industry has been part of our lives for almost 50 years. In 1962, Gale started his career as an equipment operator for Garner-Stone in Blackfoot, Idaho. Gale had a passion for the industry and worked his way up

With a partner, Gale formed Bengal/Tiger Asphalt. Though a successful operation, Gale still had a strong desire to operate his own construction company. In 1980, Gale followed that dream of a family-owned and operated construction company. That year, he and his wife Becky started Gale Lim Construction. The company was later incorporated in1985. There have been many people who have worked side by side with us to contribute to the company’s success.

First and foremost has been our family. Without them, the company would not be here today. Our daughters Kori, Sheri, Lisa, Shawnee and Amber and their spouses have all worked and contributed to our success. We currently have three generations of family working for us. Our daughters Sheri and Kori work for us full time and are a significant part of our management team. We also have two son-in-laws working for us: Darrin manages the crushing and paving division and Shawn manages the road division. Add to the mix several grandchildren who do everything from basic labor to equipment operation, and you can see that our company is truly a family affair.
