The single most effective opportunity building message I can share is that community and association participation and leadership will elevate your career and business, though (perhaps ironically), you cannot expect to succeed if you go about your community service with selfish intent. The good news is you don’t have to sell your soul, or engage in activities and associations against your values and principles. If you have interests in business development (sales), the best associations and groups, not surprisingly, will in- clude those serving your clients. Accordingly, if you work with residential builders, you would engage with relevant home builders’ associations. Truly selfless community service, even if the initiatives are not directly industry related, also provides incredible rewards. I’ve noticed how many of the most successful business owners are also determined philanthropists. If you don’t have lots of money, you can still contribute time. (And leaders spend plenty of money and time at these self- less endeavors.) If you have worthy causes or association initiatives you would like to see recognized, let me know.

Canadian Infrastructure Report Card Canada’s municipal infrastructure at risk of rapid deterioration Canadian Design and Construction Report staff writer One-third of Canada’s municipal infrastructure is at risk of rapid deterioration: that is the key finding of the 2016 Cana- dian Infrastructure Report Card (CIRC). Informing the Future: The 2016 Canadian Infrastructure Re- port Card assessed the state of municipal roads and bridges, public transit, buildings, sport and recreation facilities, stormwater, wastewater and potable water infrastructure. The results indicate that much of Canada’s municipal infrastructure is at a critical juncture. “This isn’t complicated,” Cana- dian Construction Association (CCA) president Michael Atkinson said in a statement. “Homeown- ers know you need to stay on top of repairs if you want to avoid larger bills down the road. If you see a small crack in your founda- tion, you fix it now. You don’t wait until water is pouring into your basement.” Investments in repair and up- keep are needed in the short term to prevent a rapid decline in the condition of municipal assets, according to survey findings. Furthermore, the report un- covered that reinvestment rates in Canada’s municipal infrastruc- ture are not meeting target rates, despite continued efforts on the part of municipal governments. If this trend continues, the overall cost for infrastructure repair will merk@merx.com increase substantially from where they stand today, a CIRC news release says. The CIRC project is the continuation of a collaboration struck in 2012 between the CCA, the Canadian Public Works Association, the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. The 2016 edition also received support from the Canadian Urban Transit Asso- ciation, as well as the Federal-Provincial/Territorial Sport, Phys- ical Activity and Recreation Committee. Technical support and advice was provided by the Canadian Parks and Recreation Association. The 2016 CIRC survey gath- ered more detail on inventory, condition and replacement value than the survey developed for the 2012 edition. There was a marked increase in the number of questions answered by partic- ipants. There was therefore an improvement in the availability and quality of data that informed the findings of this new report. As a result, the 2012 and 2016 CIRC report should be viewed as separate snapshots in time. “The report shows that we have an opportunity to improve quality of life for Canadians, strengthen the economy and save money over the long term. That should be all the motivation we need to act now,” said Nick Larson, chair of the Canadian So- ciety of Civil Engineers Infra- structure Renewal Committee. www.merx.com www.merx.com/events The Canadian Design and Construction Report — March 2016 – 5 BUILDING SCIENCE Understanding the differences between nominal and effective R-value By Tyler Simpson Special to Canadian Design and Construction Report The 2015 National Building Code (NBC) now refers to “ef- fective R-value” as opposed to “nominal R-value.” This change in language will impact residential construction in Canada. Nominal R-value took into account the thermal resistance of the insulation layer only, typically batt insulation placed be- tween the studs. Effective R-value, on the other hand, takes into account the cumulative value of thermal resistance for all materials within the assembly. The NBC’s authors have chosen to adopt the isothermal planes (series parallel) method for calculating effective R-val- ues. This method breaks assembly components into two groups during calculation: R parallel , which refers to all compo- nents that have parallel path of heat flow (assembly contain- ing both framing members and cavity insulation), and Rseries, all continuous layer materials that overlay the framed cavity (materials such as exterior/interior air films, cladding, air space, exterior insulated sheathings or uninsulated exterior sheathings, and gypsum board). This cumulative approach factors in what the assembly was constructed of and indi- cates the actual thermal resistance of the entire assembly. The main reason why the language has changed is thermal bridging. Thermal bridging occurs when a conductive material creates a path for heat flow to bypass the insulation layer, for instance a wood or steel stud. This shortcut significantly re- duces the R-value of the insulation layer, lowering the overall performance of the assembly. For example, a 2x6 at 16” on- centre wood stud wall with R24 batt insulation has an effec- tive R-value of 18.35 (a 23.5 per cent loss of R-value). Adjusting the assembly to steel studs further lowers the ef- fective R-value to 11.88 (a 50.5 per cent loss of R-value). To minimize this loss of R-value, an insulated sheathing material needs to be placed on the exterior side of the framing members. When exterior insulated sheathings are installed they reduce thermal bridging in assemblies, allowing homes to lessen transfer of heat loss in winter and heat gain in sum- mer, decreasing overall energy consumption. NBC changed to effective R-values to ensure a portion of the total insulation of the assembly is placed outside of the framing members. The obvious advantage, as stated above, is lessening of heat loss or gain. However, there are supple- mentary benefits. When placing insulation outside of the framing member it allows the cavity to experience warmer temperatures. This increase in temperature has a twofold ef- fect on the durability of the assembly. Firstly, increasing the cavity temperature moves the dew point from its traditional location inside the cavity to the outer surface of exterior insu- lated sheathing, where moisture can be drained in a properly detailed rainscreen. This limits the amount of moisture that sensitive cavity materials, such as wood or gypsum board, may encounter. Furthermore, small amounts of moisture from condensation that may form on the coldest days of the year will normally dry up due to the increased cavity temperature, before it has a chance to deteriorate the assembly. 6 – March 2016 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report How much insulation is necessary outside of the framing members to reduce condensation? It all depends on geo- graphic location, but most parts of Canada will need R10 to R15 to limit condensation in the assembly. To help the industry with effective R-value calculations, the Canadian Wood Council has developed a data bank of pre-cal- culated assemblies that the user can search through to find a match for their preferred method of construction. You’ll find them at: CWC.ca/Resources/Wall-Thermal-Design. The break- down of selected assembly will include the thermal resistance of each component, effective R-value of entire assembly, ef- fective R-value of entire assembly with advanced framing, and a simulated durability analysis. An alternative tool that can be utilized is the Owens Corn- ing effective R-value calculator (Visit: Insulation.OwensCorn- ing.ca/Builders/Calculators/Thermal-Project-Calculator). The tool allows calculations for roof and ceilings below attics, roofs and cathedral ceilings, walls above grade, foundation Continued on page 9 TM Build bold.

There is complete flexibility within the calcula- tor to customize each assembly to how you build. Many options are available for framing types, spacing of framing mem- bers, various kinds of cladding, and sev- eral sheathing material options. The flexibility in the calculator allows the user to discover the optimum place- ment for insulation, thus maximizing ef- EFFECTIVE INSULATION Effective insulation accounts for insulation, thermal bridging from framing, interior finish, sheathing and cladding fective R-value of the assembly. A de- tailed report of the calculation can be downloaded that provides thermal re- sistance for each component and the entire assembly. The report can be used during permit application as it is recog- nized and accepted by building depart- ments across Canada. It is a substantial adjustment in the construction industry when moving lan- guage from nominal to effective R-val- ues. This change however, will allow the construction of more durable assem- blies that lead to less associated health risks for the occupants, and the twofold effect of minimizing thermal bridging will lessen utility bills while allowing oc- cupants to experience a more comfort- able home.

The re- cently opened building, featuring mezzanine seating and con- cert hall quality acoustics, is an illuminating example of the properties of tension fabric rigid steel frame structures. The Venue offers all the amenities of a conventionally constructed building, demonstrating the versatility and performance of the system. Legacy Building Solutions designed, engineered, and man- ufactured the structure on a fast track construction schedule, minimizing downtime for the popular resort. The Edmonton, Alberta based company also acted as construction manager for the project. Clad in durable polyethylene fabric, the 140 ft. by 200 ft. building with 12 ft. by 60 ft. and 12 ft. by 80 ft.’ lean-tos is home to a variety of entertainment, commercial, and business gatherings. The main floor has a seating capacity of 2,200 for stage productions and 1,200 when 8-person round tables and chairs are set up for conventions. Tied in to the rigid steel frame of the building, a mezzanine can hold 300 people in VIP boxes; two stairways provide access and egress. Inherently modular, the building system is customizable in plan and elevation. A 40 ft. by 200 ft. foyer structure forms the public entrance to the hall. Adjoining the main building, 10 – March 2016 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report the lean-tos house a green room and bar. A 10 ft. by 18 ft. overhead door gives direct access from the rear loading dock to the backstage area, streamlining the set up and breakdown of bulky equipment; another 10 ft. by 18 ft. door is located on the sidewall, facilitating an easy move in for trade show dis- plays on the main floor. While theatrical buildings often have a sloped floor, the River Cree structure has a flat floor. This allows the facility to host meetings and trade expos, which require the installation of tables, kiosks, and booths. To preserve the quality of the audience experience during stage shows, the platform was raised from the standard 42 inch height to 48 inches, main- taining sightlines throughout the column free space. Such functional flexibility allows the resort to book a full yet varied schedule of events, maintaining a steady revenue stream. Of particular interest is how the tension fabric structure enhances the performance of HVAC systems, both passive and active. After working with the facility, Terry Smith, P. Eng. of Edmonton based TWS Engineering Ltd. said: “The fabric structure at River Cree provided many HVAC efficiencies that (can) exceed many traditional construction methods.” The weather tight fabric panel attachment system - propri- etary to Legacy Building Solutions- is key to this capability. “The unique construction methods used for this structure al- lowed for minimal air leakage through the wall assembly as well as at the building’s fenestrations,” Smith said. “This lets the building be adequately ventilated without the need to introduce excessive outside air. Tighter control of the building’s operating conditions was also achieved, which per- mits the structure to operate more efficiently, with minimal air quality issues and lower than average building heating re- quirements.” In addition, the building’s structure and materials have been designed to stand up to the infamous Chinook winds that gust through the area at speeds in excess of 60 mph. At the Venue, the acoustics - a critical aspect of any per- formance venue - have passed muster by both musicians and the neighbours. A previous building on the site (since demol- ished) had drawn complaints from the community about noise leaking during concerts. With its batt insulation and interior fabric liner, the new structure channels crisp, clear sound throughout the hall, but not beyond its walls. “The interior fabric skin of this structure allowed for mini- mal reverberation within the venue,” noted Smith. “This pro- vides the client with high quality acoustic attenuation in the entertainment space.” The liner also works to deaden the sound generated by the mechanical systems that are mounted on or adjacent to the main structure. The building’s acoustic properties were fur- ther refined by a special noise absorbing admix that was added to the concrete before the floor slab was poured. The entertainment venue is the first stage of the project at River Cree Resort and Casino. Further additions are in the works.

The Canadian Design and Construction Report — March 2016 – 11 GUEST COLUMN Estate planning with your registered investments By Richard W.R. Yasinski CFP Special to the CDCR My mother passed away at age 91. She was a very practi- cal individual and asked me before she died the best way to pass along her estate to my two sisters and me. She did not want one penny to be spent on taxes or probate that did not need to be. Following my recommendations, she sold her house and put all the money in a joint account with my younger sister. She rented an apartment and lived comfortably on her government pensions and a small withdrawal from the joint investment account. When she passed away the $10,000 in her joint bank ac- count and the money in the joint investment account passed 12 – March 2016 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report to my younger sister as she was “joint account holder with right of survivorship.” My sister divided up those assets and gifted them to my older sister and I as my mother had wished. No probate process was required or fee paid. The taxable in- come on the joint investment account had to be realized to date of death and a small amount of tax was paid with her final tax return. It was the simplest estate process I’ve ever been involved in. Note this strategy worked because all the siblings got along and trusted my younger sister – it would have been a mess if we didn’t. Also, recent court cases suggest my mother should have put her wish in writing regarding the joint account otherwise these assets may have been considered probatable. However, this does illustrate how estate planning can make life easier and less costly to your heirs. Most of us need to consider many more things regarding passing along our estates but can still benefit from doing a bit of estate plan- ning – and a large part of our estate is typically held in our reg- istered investments. Anyone with a registered account (RSP, LIRA, RIF, LIF, TFSA) who is married and has children or another individual named in their will, needs to consider naming them as primary and/or secondary beneficiaries vs. including “estate” as a ben- eficiary. When your estate is named as a beneficiary, those assets are subject to probate fees, now called estate admin- istration tax. I say “consider” because this may not be ideal in all situations – especially if any of the beneficiaries or trustees do not get along or where potential conflicts exist as can occur in blended families. If any of the latter situation exist consult a competent estate lawyer – you will be saving your heirs a great deal of pain and frustration. All registered investment accounts (and pensions) have the option of naming a primary beneficiary and secondary bene- ficiary who would receive the funds directly after death of the owner. The primary advantage of naming an individual is that the funds are not held up, tax and/or probate fees can be avoided. Probate is a court process that primarily ensures the valid- ity of a will and confirms the authority of the estate trustee or executor to administer an estate’s asset distribution as indi- cated by the will. If a will requires probate, the value of all as- sets in the estate must be documented, the probate fees calculated and submitted with documents filed (typically by a lawyer) with the estate’s court. The assets are held and typi- cally cannot be withdrawn until the probate certificate has been issued by the court. A will must be probated if the de- ceased individual was the sole owner of the assets or was an owner of a portion of an asset as a tenant in common (such as can be with real estate) or if required by anyone or an insti- tution holding assets registered for that individual. Registered assets can be quite significant, especially when one is close to retirement. Registered assets of $500,000 to $750,000 if left to an estate would be subject to probate fees of $7,000 to $11,000. And they will be held in limbo until the probate certificate has been issued by the court. Leaving as- sets directly to an individual avoids probate and simplifies the process – but care must be taken as not all situations are right for this strategy. A surviving spouse should (in most cases) be named as the primary beneficiary of all registered accounts. This allows the surviving spouse to roll the registered account assets (in- cluding TFSAs) into her/his registered assets tax and probate free. However, the secondary beneficiary is often by default the estate and it is here where children or other individuals can be named to ensure assets flow directly to them. When naming anyone other than the spouse as primary or secondary beneficiary, all of the assets in the account go di- rectly to those beneficiaries. Note that no tax is deducted, nor is probate charged. This can create a problem if there are in- sufficient assets in the remaining estate to pay the tax that will be assessed on the registered assets. At death the market value of all registered assets are taken into income and con- sidered taxable in the year of death. For someone who died having earned taxable income of $75,000 to date of death with $500,000 market value of RSPs, this means their final tax return would show taxable income of $575,000. Currently that would result in $247,581 owing in income taxes. If there are insufficient funds available in the estate, CRA will go after the trustee and beneficiaries to pay the tax. Another strategy for young couples with children under 18 that is possible is to name their children as primary or sec- ondary beneficiaries of their registered assets. If both spouses pass away, the children receive these funds in trust tax free for their care. Couples who want to avoid probate and tax on the funds or want the surviving spouse to have some funds to help care for the children could name their children as partial beneficiaries on registered accounts and flow tax free funds to trust accounts in the children’s name. There can be complications with this strategy if the office of the chil- dren’s lawyer is involved because they may limit access to the funds and require the funds to be held in trust until age 18 when the funds must be paid to the children. Working with a competent estate lawyer and financial planner will help mini- mize the complications and risks. Registered investment accounts can be an effective tool to minimize estate administration costs – they can also cause pain, frustration and delays if not used properly. Consulting an estate lawyer and/or competent financial planner is recom- mended in all but the simplest of family situations. Thanks to Donna Neff, my estate lawyer, for her help.

If the NCC can keep things under wraps, we will need to wait until early next year to find out. However, the two competing proposals, Devcore Canderel DLS Group (DCDLS) and Rendezvous LeBreton Group have the support of big name and well-funded businesses, and (with the diverse scope and scale of the alliances), we’ll likely hear rumors and indications of the decision once its reviewers complete the evaluation and its board of directors reviews the recommendation in March. No one is saying how much the project will cost, though Ottawa Senators’ owner Eugene Melnyk gave an indication of its scale when he said the estimates to remediate the site are at least $170 million. Some reports have indicated the de- velopment could be in the $3.5 billion range. Representatives of DCDLS said they would like to buy the land from the NCC at fair market value, while RLG represen- tatives, observing that the financial details are supposed to remain under wraps, suggested there could be a variety of options including a possible 99-year lease for some or all of the land. Both proponents suggest that, as well as an NHL arena, the Ottawa Public Library could relocate to the site, and they advocate for a mixture of residential, commercial, entertain- ment and community services tied in with the Light Rail Tran- sit (LRT) Phase 2 hub and stations. You could see the tension crackle at a February news con- ference when Melnyk rebuffed DCDLS’s proposal for an arena and an invitation to negotiate with the Senators to relocate there if their proposal is successful. “What are they doing?” Melnyk asked. “I haven’t even talked to these people . . . good morning, I have no interest in selling, and no interest in playing in someone else’s arena. It’s also not practical.” However, the RLG’s proposal suggests that, while the Sen- ators expect to be major players in the huge development, the team realizes that other partners will need to develop the key residential, commercial and institutional components of the potentially 22.6 hectare area. (The NCC has opened 9.3 hectares for development, and has “asked proponents for their development planning outlook on a larger area, referred to as option lands, consisting of an additional 12.3 hectares,” it says in background materials.) (Conceivably, if DCDLS wins the proposal, the negotiations with the Senators could go beyond just providing stadium ac- cess or the opportunity to build the arena and central enter- tainment complex. The overall parcel could be segmented – as RLG has indicated in its own proposal – to allow additional profitable business development opportunities from other partners, such as Senators’ Sports and Entertainment. How- ever, Melnyk doesn’t want that sort of thinking to gain any traction while the competition to lead the project is in high gear.) The main RLG partner, Trinity Development Group, would oversee much of the commercial and mixed use develop- ment, with other players including Windmill Developments, Brigil, and Mattamy Homes. Other participants include Morley Hoppner, Tomlinson, PCL and GBA (Graham Bird Associates). Architect Barry Hobin led the RLG presentation when the NCC invited the two proponents to demonstrate their plans on Jan. 26. RLG has other significant architectural supporters including Rossetti, KPMB Architects, Perkins + Will, and Schmidt/Hammer/Lassen Architects. However, DCDLS also is well-funded and connected. Dev- core, based in Gatineau, says it currently has 12 projects in development and nine under construction in Ontario and Que- bec, while Canderel has a national background in real estate investment, development and management. Other players in- clude the DLS Group (led by Quebec magnet Andre Des- marais,) and Guy Laliberte, founder of the Cirque du Soleil. Local representation is provided by William Sinclair, co- founder and former president of JDS Uniphase, and the Mierins family’s Ogilvie Realty. Mierins Automotive Group owns and operates eight car dealerships in the Ottawa area. The NCC says an evaluation committee with architect A.J. Diamond (Diamond Schmitt Architects), planner and land economist Mark Conway (N. Barry Lyon Consultants) and sen- ior staff members form the NCC will evaluate the proposals, based on rated requirements totaling 140 points. The proposals have some similarities, in part because the NCC, in its request for proposals, suggested certain elements need to be included in the project, including public anchor uses and sustainability. Aboriginal concerns are also impor- tant, and the Algonquin Nation is to be consulted before the NCC makes its decision. The NCC invited public feedback at its website until Feb. 9 and reports it has received hundreds of submissions. Public responses indicate that both proposals have some support and some detractors. About 1,000 people showed up at the Canadian War Museum on Jan. 26 when the public was invited for two days to listen to developers’ presentations and ask questions. The main distinction between the two proposals is the mix of attractions and community amenities. DCDLS, for example, proposes an auto museum (World Automotive Experience), an aquarium, a skateboard park, and an auto museum, as well as a new public French school, day- care, YMCA and an “air pavilion” providing a simulated sky- diving experience. The central feature of its proposal is the Canadenisis Walk, described as a “four season linear park stretching the entire length of the development to showcase Canada’s wildly di- verse and poignantly beautiful eco-zones across the country.” The developers propose the site will be a key point on the Trans Canada Trail. It will also have a 6,000 sq. ft. bandshell and what it describes as “Canada’s first multimedia museum, the Canada Communications Centre (CCC).” There is also a proposal for a Science & Innovation Pavilion/Planetarium. The RLG proposal on the other hand has less obviously public features, but includes consideration of how to handle the old aqueduct on the site and the problem of the LRT po- tentially bisecting it. RLG’s proposal creates two levels, build- ing above the LRT with the aqueduct on the lower level. One innovative feature of the RLG’s “IllumiNATION” plan is the plans for the development of Abilities Centre Ottawa, “an accessible to all multiuse sports facility providing unique programming that promotes healthy active living, rehabilita- tion and recreation, and that will meet the diverse needs of a diverse community, including persons with disabilities and ac- tivity limitations.” The Canadian Design and Construction Report — March 2016 – 15 Taking measure of a massive infrastructure investment A quantity surveyor speaks to the cost consultant’s role in the P3 projects coming from Trudeau’s $125 billion infrastructure promise By Art Maw Special to Canadian Design and Construction Report We are well into the first year of Justin Trudeau’s new Liberal government, one that has promised a $125 billion investment into infrastructure over the next 10 years. It’s too soon yet to see any concrete results of that pledge, but al- ready plans are underway and I expect many of them to hit the market for bidding in 2017. It’s an exciting time for the country, and also a time when quantity surveyors will play a role to ensure Canada keeps its reputation for financial judi- ciousness. Quantity surveyors - the cost consultants for the construc- tion industry - will play a crucial role over these next ten years to make sure that this massive investment is responsibly man- aged. These professionals are relied upon at all levels - fed- eral, provincial, and municipal - and trusted because we are the building industry’s “honest broker.” When it comes to infrastructure projects, in the past sev- eral years, we have seen an increase in use of the public-pri- vate partnership (P3) model, and I believe that will continue for much of the federal developments to come over the next decade. Canada has in fact been a global leader of this type of infrastructure financing. In the P3 model private companies are responsible for the initial funds for development and take on more of the financial risk, which results in public infrastruc- ture projects being initiated and completed within a shorter timeframe. And because quantity surveyors work with both the public and private aspects of P3 projects - and don’t build or invest in anything themselves - it is especially true in this case that they will be the responsible “honest broker” to help fulfill the current vision for Canada. For P3 projects, the quantity surveyors working with the government side of the project are consulted to figure out what the budget should be. At a high level, this means exam- ining the environmental assessment and engineering and de- sign documents to assess the full range of costs, including the physical construction work; soft costs such as design, consulting, and financing; and social costs, which are the eco- nomic impact of projects on things like a population’s health. In the P3 environment, the other thing a quantity surveyor must factor in is the concession period during which the pri- vate investor agrees to maintain and operate whatever is 16 – March 2016 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report being built. These building lifecycle costs can run up to 30 years. All of these considerations then go into building the tender document to create a workable and accurate frame- work for bids from the private side of the P3 equation. A body at the federal, provincial, or municipal level may want to repair an asset or build a new one, but until a quantity surveyor gets involved, the value of the project is unknown. Of course, once that value is determined by a quantity sur- veyor, the government body may need to lower the scope due to current budgets, while leaving the door open to completing the project later. Breaking a project down into phases that are independently functional is thus going to be a crucial activity for the upcoming infrastructure projects. We saw an example of this in Ottawa, when the LRT project needed to be broken down into two economically feasible parts. The first phase, which focused on serving the core, is currently underway and phase two, which is now being developed, will extend the line further out into the suburbs. The value of the entire project was around $5 billion, but the initial budget wouldn’t have al- lowed it to be built at one time. The quantity surveyor’s work for the private sector of the P3 equation is the mirror of the role for the public sector - we help the consortiums develop the bids that fit within the framework provided by the government. Of course, some conditions may change during the process. The recent drop in the Canadian dollar, for instance, means that materials that are exclusively sourced in the U.S.—stainless steel and struc- tural steel sections, for instance—are going to eat up more of the budget. Either alternative materials will need to be lo- cated, or else other parts of the budget will need to be trimmed in order to accommodate the higher cost. The Canadian Institute of Quantity Surveyors - the profes- sional association that oversees the Professional Quantity Sur- veyor designation - was formed in 1959. It wasn’t too long after that that we saw the last infrastructure spend on the scale of what Trudeau has promised. This major commitment by the federal government is more than welcome, and I speak for all my quantity surveying peers when I say that we are ex- cited to play our role in this infrastructure renewal.

CONSTRUCTION ACROSS CANADA have to create the monthly temporary foreign worker report and still have to as- sist in the temporary foreign worker processes.” $15 million Polygon Gallery under construction in North Vancouver BC Hydro has announced job fairs in several B.C. communities as Peace River Hydro Partners ramps up to create 10,000 person years for the mammoth northern B.C. construction project. Site C will create 10,000 person years of employment during its construction, and various skilled positions - including, but not limited to, boilermakers, carpen- ters, drillers, crane operators, pipe fit- ters, and truck drivers - are needed to complete it. There was a local controversy when Peace River Hydro Partners posted a job for a human resources assistant, with job description responsibilities including “assisting in the Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) Processes,” as well as cre- ating a monthly temporary foreign worker report, Peace River News re- ported. “The employee will work for Peace River Hydro Partners, which last year won a $1.5 billion contract to build the dam’s main civil works.” The job posting was quickly amended to remove the foreign worker designa- tion but B.C. NDP Hydro critic Adrian Dix said the post raises questions about hir- ing practices on Site C. “It’s pretty plain that BC Hydro is highly sensitive, from a communications point of view, to the issue of temporary foreign workers,” Dix told Peace River News. “Just as they’re concerned about the issue of Alberta license plates (on site) and who will get the jobs on Site C.” “They clearly are going to be using the Temporary Foreign Worker program extensively, they’re hiring someone here, a human resources assistant, to manage the reports and the processes related to that.” “The new job posting doesn’t change anything,” Dix added. “This person will still presumably 18 – March 2016 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report The new $15 million Polygon Gallery in North Vancouver is now under con- struction and on track to open in 2017. Patkau Architects has designed the structure, supported by a lead gift of $4 million from Polygon Homes and the Au- dain Foundation, with additional funding from the federal and provincial govern- ments and the City of North Vancouver ($2.5 million each). “We are very excited that construc- tion is underway, and cannot wait to wel- come people to the new gallery in 2017,” said gallery director Reid Shier. The gallery, formerly known as Presentation House, will provide residents and visitors with the opportunity to experience Cana- dian and international art exhibitions, as well as participate in engaging public events and art education programs. Site preparation underway for Vancouver’s Arbutus Shopping Centre Site preparation is underway at Van- couver’s Arbutus Shopping Centre for one of the largest redevelopment proj- ects in the history of the city’s west side neighbourhood, VanCity Buzz reports. Construction will start in the spring on the eight-storey first phase at the seven-acre mall site. DIALOG Architecture designed the Larco Investments project. (Larco owns West Vancouver’s Park Royal Shopping Centre.) The initial Block A portion will have 215 residential units, with 115 market rental units and city owned 100 non-mar- ket units. There will be ground floor of- fice, restaurant and retail including a relocated and expanded Safeway store. VanCity Buzz says that there are four phases to the project, which was ap- proved by Vancouver City Council in 2011. “At complete build out, the rede- velopment will have 269,000 sq. ft. of commercial space and 508 residential units in four buildings ranging between six to eight storeys,” the website re- ports. Arbutus Shopping Centre was con- structed in the 1970s as a part of the Ar- butus Village residential community. Redevelopment planning started in 2008 and proponents received a development permit for the first phase last fall. ALBERTA Calgary: Bird Construction to build Seton Recreational Facility The City of Calgary has awarded Bird Construction Inc. a fixed price contract to construct the Seton Recreational Fa- cility in southeast Calgary. The 30,940 sq. ft. building will offer leisure, sports, arts, cultural and recre- ational amenities for individuals and fam- ilies, as well as competitive sport venues for groups and organizations. Several features include: a 50 m. 10-lane compe- tition pool, a leisure pool, two multipur- pose ice rinks, three gymnasiums and a 2,325 sq. m. library. Construction will commence shortly with an expected completion date scheduled for the fall of 2018. “We are excited to be awarded to build the new facility situated in the heart of a vibrant urban centre in southeast Calgary,” said Ian Boyd, Bird’s president and CEO. “Projects like the Seton Recre- ational Facility and the soon to be com- pleted, Quarry Park Recreational Centre are vital to our communities and Bird is proud to be successfully delivering them to the City of Calgary and ultimately, the communities that they serve.” Edmonton: TransEd Partners consortium awarded Valley Line LRT Stage 1 project TransEd Partners - a consortium in- cluding EllisDon, Bechtel, Bombardier and Fengate Capital Management - has achieved financial close on the Valley Line LRT Stage 1 project. The city se- lected TransEd Partners in late Novem- ber as the preferred proponent to design, build, finance, operate, maintain and supply vehicles for the project, Ellis- Don said in a news release. The Valley Line LRT Stage 1 project is a Public-Private Partnership (P3) that in- cludes a five-year design-build stage and a 30-year operation and maintenance (O&M) term. The contract is valued at $1.8 billion in net present value. The LRT project is a significant part of the City of Edmonton’s transportation plan. The multi-phased, 27 km urban route will ultimately create 25 new stops and three stations, serving an estimated 100,000 daily commuters. The line will run southeast to west from Mill Woods to Lewis Farms, crossing through Ed- monton’s downtown core. Stage 1 encompasses 13.1 km with 11 stops including an additional two- storey station between Mill Woods and 102 St., connecting commuters with the Capital Line and Metro Line at Churchill Station. The project is currently on schedule for construction to begin in 2016. “This is a good day for the City of Ed- monton,” said Stephen Damp, EllisDon’s executive vice president. “We are ex- cited to get started and to deliver a world class system.” EllisDon is currently undertaking a number of major transportation related infrastructure projects across Canada. This includes the Ottawa Confederation Line LRT, Eglinton Crosstown LRT and the York Viva Bus Rapid Transit Expan- sion. SASKATCHEWAN Building Permits Update Saskatchewan building permits reached $165.1 million in December, an increase of 11 per cent from $148.7 mil- lion in November and nearly 18 per cent over the $140 million in permits issued in December 2015, Statistics Canada has reported. However, December permits are down about half from $325.6 million in October 2015, the federal agency said, as reported in the Regina Leader-Post. Residential building permits declined 12.3 per cent to $76 million in December from $89.6 million in November. Saskatchewan was the only province to see a decrease in residential construc- tion permits during the period, the report said. Non-residential construction permits increased nearly 44 per cent to $89.1 million in December from $62.1 million in November. However, this represented a sharp decline from the $250.7 million in permits issued in October 2015. Construction of the Remai Modern in Saskatoon makes progress despite budget overruns CBC TV has reported that the Remai Modern gallery project should be com- pleted by the fall of 2016, with costs ex- pected to be between $2.5 and $4.5 million greater than the approved budget of $84.6 million, according to Saska- toon’s standing policy committee on en- vironment, utilities and corporate services. EllisDon is building the $10 million structure. “The report states that opportunities for funding the shortfall are currently being explored to complete the project,” CBC says. “This includes reducing the amounts spent on furniture, fixtures and equipment needed to open the gallery.” Options for private funding are also being discussed. The building is sched- uled to open in early 2017. It was origi- nally scheduled to be open this year. MANITOBA BuildForce Canada projects requirement for 12,000 tradespeople in next decade BuildForce Canada projects that more than 12,000 more tradespeople will be needed over the next 10 years to fill va- cancies within the province’s booming construction industry. The industry led organization which compiles labour market data and analy- sis for Canada’s construction industry, says that as many as 4,000 workers will be needed to fill new positions expected to be created as a result of the ongoing construction boom. In addition, up to 8,200 others will be required to replace retiring baby boom era workers, it added. “The local construction industry is benefiting from Manitoba’s more diverse economy. From power line work to homebuilding and renovation, there are opportunities for skilled tradespeople in construction,” says BuildForce executive director Rosemary Sparks. “With more than 20 per cent of the construction workforce retiring this decade, employers can’t afford to ease up on recruitment,” Sparks added. “Hir- ing more young people remains an in- dustry priority.” In its 2016-2025 Construction and Maintenance Looking Forward forecast report, BuildForce says Manitoba’s 10- year construction expansion isn’t ex- pected to peak until sometime in 2018. “A gradual rise in commercial and in- dustrial building construction and grow- ing demand for maintenance work also creates new jobs in almost every year of the scenario,” the report says. It predicts up to 2,600 new jobs will be added over the next 10 years on the non-residential side of the industry, and up to 1,500 on the residential side over the next few years. The Canadian Design and Construction Report — March 2016 – 19 NEWS BRIEFS As well, home renovation and main- tenance work are also expected to an- other 900 new positions over the forecast period, it adds. Winnipeg – Construction of 19-unit affordable housing building begins with $10 million provincial social enterprises loan Construction of a three-storey, 19-unit affordable housing building commenced in February at a symbolic sod turning event at an empty lot at 150 Austin St. N. in Winnipeg’s North Point Douglas neighbourhood. “This is so exciting. We’re getting 19 new homes for inner city people,” said Sel Burrows, chair of the North Point Douglas Residents Committee. Austin Family Commons is a “dream,” said Burrows, because the project com- bines both beautiful design with input from the local community. Manitoba Housing is paying for the construction of the affordable housing units, CBC reported. At the sod turning event, Minister Saran announced the government has created a new $10 million fund that will help pay for loans to “employment fo- cused social enterprises.” Construction is expected to be com- pleted in early 2017. ONTARIO CMPX 2016 sold out The CMPX (Canadian Mechanical and Plumbing Exposition) 2016 show floor is totally “sold out” to the maximum occu- pancy allowed by the fire marshall’s of- fice, says a show spokesman. The show opens Wednesday March 16 and runs 20 – March 2016 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report CONSTRUCTION ACROSS CANADA through March 17 and 18, totally filling the 200,000 sq. ft. Metro Toronto Con- vention Centre North Building on Front St. “CMPX . . . has consistently been a sold out show, time after time, filling more than 200,000 sq. ft. of display space, hosting more than 550 exhibiting companies, presenting more than 1,000 separate exhibit booths and attracting more than 13,000 attendees,” said show chairman Gerry Cellucci of Yorkland Con- trols. “CMPX continues to be the biggest HVACR and plumbing show in Canada and it has achieved an unmatched track record over the past 40 years,” he said. “The show theme is, ‘one show – the en- tire industry’ and that is a powerful at- traction to exhibitors and attendees alike. CMPX has proven to be the most effective way to meet with the entire mechanical industry, all under one roof, for three exciting days of networking, ed- ucation and new technologies.” The show is jointly presented by The Heating, Refrigeration and Air Condition- ing Institute of Canada (HRAI) and the Canadian Institute of Plumbing and Heat- ing (CIPH). Ottawa Hospital co-ordinating procurement advisory committee with industry leaders The Ottawa Hospital is assembling an advisory committee of architectural, en- gineering and construction community leaders to suggest improvements and changes to prevent a recurrence of the procurement scandal that has resulted in negative publicity for the hospital and civil lawsuits against two former hospital employees. Names suggested for the committee reportedly include John DeVries, presi- dent and general manager of the Ottawa Construction Association (OCA), Robert Merkley of Merkley Supply Ltd., and ar- chitect Barry Hobin. Earlier story: Ottawa Hospital launches lawsuit alleging construction irregularities “It is in Cameron Love’s ‘court’ (no tennis pun intended but I like it) to final- ize and announce,” DeVries said. (Love is the hospital’s executive vice president and chief operating officer.) “I was in- volved in putting together a group of leaders and possibly one or two may not (be) on the final group so at this point I can’t tell you who I suggested as it may embarrass someone if they are not on the final group.” A hospital spokesperson said in a statement that “last month in a memo to our stakeholders and the community we confirmed that we are enhancing our procurement processes, controls and bidding practices.” “As part of our review, we will consult local industry experts and vendors to en- sure even more effective controls and the highest standards of ethical behav- iour in our bidding and procurement pro- cedures,” the hospital statement said. Industry sources report that the prob- lems only came to the surface in the past year when a former hospital em- ployee accelerated his acceptance of hospitality and travel gifts from suppliers and contractors. “It was under the radar for many years when he took, say, two trips a year,” said the observer. Then, in the final year, his expense paid vacations accelerated to the point that red flags were raised, the observer said. QUEBEC Expo Grands Travaux in Montreal April 22 and 23 Montreal’s Olympic Stadium will play host to tons of heavy iron as the massive Expo Grands Travaux returns this spring. The show on April 22 and 23 will have more than 300,000 sq. ft. of space. More than 15,000 visitors attended the last show and most of the major industry players are participating, show organiz- ers say in a news release. Online visitor registration has only been open a short time and registrations are already rolling in, the organizers say. “With exhibit sales nearly sold out and the influx of preregistered visitors to date, Expo Grands Travaux is shaping up to be a banner event,” says a news re- lease. Expo Grands Travaux allows visitors to connect with hundreds of exhibitors showing off heavy equipment at the forefront of the industry. The lineup will also include a focus on winter manage- ment equipment, featuring truck and loader mounted plows and snow blow- ers, salters, sanders, deicers, spreaders, and all the other equipment, products, services, and technology used for mov- ing and removing snow and ice. Registration is available at the show’s website: www.ExpoGrandsTravaux.ca. Montreal approves $100 million to build new Île-Bizard bridge The City of Montreal’s executive com- mittee has approved spending $100 mil- lion to build a new bridge between Île-Bizard and the island of Montreal, the Montreal Gazette reports. The funds will also be used to reinforce the existing Jacques-Bizard Bridge, which is the only road connection to the island. In October, Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre announced $21.8 million of the bridge work costs will come from the city’s $1.1 billion three-year capital works budget. Municipal council must approve the project, and then the city needs to create a preliminary design, which should be completed this summer. Planning, ap- provals and public consultations, as well as a call for tenders, would happen by 2018, followed by construction in 2018, 2019 and possibly 2020. The new bridge will be built right next to the existing span, the Gazette reports. Work to reinforce the existing bridge should begin this summer. Île-Bizard–Ste-Geneviève borough Mayor Normand Marinacci said the ex- isting bridge’s final fate hasn’t been de- cided yet. “We would prefer to keep it for emergencies, for the cycling path and for pedestrians,” he said. Utilities for Île-Bizard were also installed underneath the bridge, and these would be expen- sive to move if the existing span was de- molished. The Jacques-Bizard Bridge, built in 1966, has three lanes, a bike lane and a sidewalk. Nearly 30,000 vehicles drive over it every day. The new bridge could have four lanes, “which will have the ef- fect of significantly reducing congestion episodes due to maintenance work or in- cidents,” Lionel Perez, the executive committee member responsible for in- frastructure, said in a press release. NEW BRUNSWICK Saint John councillors celebrate signing of $216 million contract for new water treatment system Saint John councillors have cele- brated the signing of a $216 million con- tract for the design, construction and operation of a new water treatment sys- tem by a public-private partnership. “Welcome to a council meeting that is 230 years in the making,” announced Saint John Mayor Mel Norton before reading a lengthy proclamation on the water deal which was promptly ap- proved by council. Port City Water Partners, a consor- tium of eight companies led by Brook- field Financial Securities LP, includes Spain’s Acciona Aqua, North America Construction, SIMO Management Inc., two engineering and consulting firms: AMEC Foster Wheeler, and Stantec, and two local Irving owned companies: FCC Construction and Gulf Operators. The project will feature a water treat- ment plant with a capacity for 75 million litres per day along with the construction or replacement of 20 km of piping. Norton said he expects the federal and provincial governments to pick up “roughly” 50 per cent of the construction costs, although that has yet to be final- ized. A municipal report released to city council says the final funding agreement with the federal Crown corporation P3 Canada will be concluded “over the next few weeks” based on the eligible costs of the project. The report says the $216 million price tag is $40 million less than an estimate in March 2013. Fredericton: Proposed Millidgeville development may be expanded The retail developer behind a phar- macy proposal in Saint John’s Mil- lidgeville neighbourhood plans to add more businesses to the site in future. Plaza Retail REIT of Fredericton has an agreement with the municipality to purchase land at University and Millidge Avenues, CBC has reported. The fire department currently uses much of the property as a training cen- tre. Plaza Retail has applied to re-desig- nate the land from a residential to a retail classification to allow the pharmacy con- struction. CBC says in 2014 another developer, Cobalt Properties, dropped plans for a larger shopping centre in the same area after strong objections from neighbours who were concerned about potential noise, lighting and traffic. The current development proposal in- cludes a half acre parcel, also owned by the city, that is covered by a covenant re- stricting its use to park or green space. That covenant can only be lifted by a pri- vate act of the legislature, and a spokesperson for Plaza Retail reaffirmed this week the company intends to apply to have it lifted, a process expected to take as long as a year. On application documents made pub- lic by the city this week, the parcel is la- belled “future development.” NOVA SCOTIA Membertou arena, shopping complex construction moves ahead The Cape Breton First Nation’s com- munity of Membertou is expanding its business opportunities with two major projects, one to open this summer and the other in 2018, CBC has reported. Construction started in the summer of 2015 on a $19 million sports complex with two NHL sized rinks, a wellness centre and a walking track. “Right now, the roof is being com- pleted and the fitness centre is under construction and the interior is well under way,” Membertou senior adviser Dan Christmas told CBC. “We’re hoping to open in late June early July, and begin commissioning the ice sometime in the month of July.” Christmas said preliminary construc- tion will start this summer on a major re- tail complex, Churchill Crossing, with a mix of big box stores, smaller retailers and other facilities. Road access to the location is already complete. The Canadian Design and Construction Report — March 2016 – 21 NEWS BRIEFS Greater Halifax Partnership reports mixed data on Halifax construction market The Conference Board of Canada is projecting a Gross Domestic Product growth of three per cent in GDP for Hal- ifax in 2016 following on the heels of a positive year for the municipality’s econ- omy, according to the quarterly eco- nomic report released by the Greater Halifax Partnership. The report says housing starts in- creased by 57 per cent as of November 2015, compared to the same period in 2014, driven by historic levels of multiu- nit construction. From January to November, construc- tion began on 2,000 apartment style units, the third highest year on record. However, construction of single unit housing continued its multiyear slide falling 20 per cent to the end of Novem- ber compared to the same period in 2014. On the non-residential side, the an- nual value of construction grew 21 per cent in 2015. Growth was driven in par- ticular by commercial projects such as the Nova Centre and expansions at Dart- mouth Crossing. Strength in the con- struction sector is expected to continue in 2016. PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND Summerside Inspire Learning Centre construction underway Work has started on Summerside’s new Inspire Learning Centre, a three– storey building to replace the current li- brary and double its scale.

NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR government restructures. We are very anxiously waiting as a construction in- dustry to see what the result will be.” The hospital delay also has resulted in a slowdown in new housing construc- tion in Corner Brook, as new develop- ments hinge on that project. LeGrow says overall the construction industry is still humming along. “We’re still coming off a lot of larger projects and there are new projects on the hori- zon. It’s just a matter of setting priorities with the money that’s available,” he said. Construction starts at new Alt Hotel in downtown St. John’s after historic vault removed NLCA Outlook The Newfound and Labrador Con- struction Association (NLCA) expressed a positive outlook at the start of its an- nual conference in Corner Brook, despite tough financial times in the province. “There’s challenges, but we see it as being positive and moving forward,” NLCA chair Ed LeGrow told CBC News. “We’ve been through turbulent waters before, and I’m sure we can maintain our status quo.” LeGrow says the association is grow- ing with close to 700 members and the conference was a sold out event. There is concern however, about the construction delay of the Corner Brook hospital. “We all know we have been waiting on the hospital. It is very important,” Sandy Murphy, the NLCA’s western di- rector, was quoted as saying. “We also know right now it’s up in the air while the Construction has started for the new Alt Hotel in downtown St. John’s with the removal of one of the city’s last his- torical vaults. CBC reports that the brick and stone vault, on the grounds of the Marshall Brothers cellar (from the 1800s), was the only remaining structure on the site that once housed a warehouse, post office and the former Marshall Brothers store. Montreal based Groupe Germaine will now start building the hotel on the corner of Water St. and Job’s Cove near the east end of Harbour Dr. The four-storey, 148-room hotel should be completed in 2017. The company said in a statement it plans to move ahead with “respectful ar- chitectural planning” to ensure the out- line of the former cellar “will be incorporated into the hotel’s exterior landscaping and paving making it a cel- ebrated feature and effectively allowing the old and the new to coexist in har- mony.” In addition, the hotel will include a “feature wall” to display materials exca- vated from the cellar, as well as historical pictures and text. 1175 Victoria Street North Kitchener, ON N2B 3C8 Reach key decision makers in the CDCR HOTEL DIRECTORY to attract construction crews, executives and extended stay guests with your hotel listing!

The national organization has about 5,000 members. About 120 guests attended the Jan. 15 investiture ceremony at the Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health in Ottawa. Award winning Canadian author Joseph Boyden delivered the keynote address. Guests included RAIC members, the RAIC board of directors, representatives from Parliament Hill, government depart- ments and First Nations’ communities, as well as allied professionals with an in- terest in the built environment. “As architects, I think we would all agree that losing traditional building crafts and knowledge of ways of organ- izing physical space can be as corrosive to a society as the loss of a spoken lan- guage,” Teramura said in his investiture speech. “The built environment in Indigenous communities tends to be discussed in terms of housing issues, but in my view the problem is compounded by the ab- sence of cultural identity, and this is sel- dom discussed,” he said. “At a time when talk of reconciliation is growing, our profession is in a position to – and, therefore, is obligated to – look at ways to help address injustices, not by imposing our ideas, but by listening and promoting the professional compe- tencies that already exist in Indigenous communities.” Teramura sees similarities between 24 – March 2016 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report the living conditions on reserves to the internment camps where Japanese- Canadians, including his grandparents and parents, were forcibly placed during the Second World War. “They are a technological solution for housing, not intended to be permanent. You realize you’re dealing with some- thing that is not a normal community, but a camp. A camp is a settlement with no future by definition.” Teramura received the President’s Medal from the 2015 president Samuel Oghale Oboh of Edmonton. During his tenure, Oboh was instrumental in the signing of agreements between the RAIC and several international architec- tural associations, as well as many of the Canadian architectural regulatory bodies. He also represented Canada at the COP21 Conference in Paris where he brought the RAIC’s voice to the global discussion of climate change. “Architects are well positioned to as- sist Canada to achieve its targets in terms of greenhouse gas emissions,” says Teramura of continuing Oboh’s work on this key issue. “The building sector is ready and able to do its part.” About Allan Teramura Born and raised in Winnipeg, Tera- mura wonders if he ever considered an alternative profession to architecture; his father was in construction, and his older brother is also an architect. He studied at the University of Manitoba where he earned a Bachelor of Environmental Studies degree and received the Univer- sity Gold Medal. Subsequently, he attended the Car- leton University School of Architecture, graduating in 1990 with a Degree with High Distinction. He was also the recipi- ent of the Research Thesis Prize and the RAIC Student Medal for highest overall academic standing. Teramura went on to work as an in- tern architect with the award winning Vancouver firms of Patkau Architects and Henriquez Partners, and later in Ottawa with Brisbin Brook Beynon Architects and GRC Architects. In 2001, he joined Watson MacEwen Architects as an associate and joined the RAIC the next year. In 2009, he became a partner and Watson MacEwen Tera- mura Architects was established. His recent projects include the restoration of the Tropical Greenhouse at the Central Experimental Farm in Ot- tawa, conservation work at the Amherst and Halifax armories, ongoing work on Centre Block on Parliament Hill, as well as various strategic planning studies in the Parliamentary Precinct. From 2011 to 2015, Allan served as the RAIC regional director for Ontario East, North, and Nunavut. He has volun- teered as a member of the City of Ot- tawa’s Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee and sat on the board of the Ottawa Region Chapter of the Canada Green Building Council. He is a member of UNESCO’s Inter- national Council on Monuments and Sites. In 2015, Teramura was the RAIC’s lead representative on an application for a legal injunction to halt the construction of the proposed Memorial to Victims of Communism in the Judicial Precinct of Ottawa. CFBA acclaims Dan Reymer, Bart Kanters for second year The Canadian Farm Builders Association (CFBA) has ac- claimed president Dan Reymer and vice presi- dent Bart Kanters for their second year in office. In a statement, the asso- ciation said the two leaders were greeted warmly by the board at its annual gen- eral meeting and confer- ence on Jan. 29 in Stratford. “As a founding CFBA member, it is very gratifying to see two outstanding individuals like Dan and Bart commit their time and talents to our associa- tion,” said director Gary van Boldersen. “The CFBA is in very good hands with their unselfish leadership.” The CFBA represents numerous stakeholders within the agricultural and farm building communities and works to promote and advance the construction and standards of Canadian farm build- ings. Paul Brydges first landscape architect as Landscape Ontario president Paul Brydges became the first practic- ing landscape architect to hold the posi- tion of president of Landscape Ontario (LO), officially beginning his two- year mandate at the horticultural association’s annual general meeting Jan. 13. A graduate of the University of Guelph’s landscape architect program in 1994, Brydges serves as the principal and sen- ior architect at Brydges Land- scape Architecture in Guelph. The theme of his tenure will be “drawn together,” which Brydges says il- lustrates the importance of collaboration amongst LO members for the better- ment of the profession. “The daily driving force and message in our design office are that of teamwork and relationships,” Brydges wrote in the January issue of LO magazine. “As land- scape architects, our biggest role is and should be that of a coach. We listen to our clients’ needs, wants and wishes and blend the realistic with the fantastic. This is the same platform that LO is built upon in so many respects.” “Our biggest hurdle in achieving and maintaining our modern landscape is to overcome the shortage of qualified team members and also the perception of our profession as mowers of lawns and shovellers of snow; those days are generations gone,” he said. “If we can look at our- selves in the proper light and realize through education and years of on the job training that we are professionals, we can change our market per- ception. That is how we are going to bring young profes- sionals into the profession, as well as in- terest students to move into programs that will qualify them for the careers.” Brydges was elected by the LO provincial board of directors last fall after serving in a variety of roles on the board, including most recently as its second vice president after stints as the design sector representative and as a volunteer with the LO Canada Blooms garden de- sign team. LO executive director Tony DiGiovanni said in a news release: “President Paul has a powerful and profound message that provides clarity about how our sec- tor enhances lives by what we do and who we are. He wants to remind all of us that we are much more than an industry; we are a profession. Together we con- tribute to making the world a better place. Landscape Ontario looks forward to helping Paul communicate this mes- sage internally and externally. Paul is also the first practicing landscape architect at the helm of our organization. It reminds us that all sectors in our wonderful pro- fession are interrelated and interdepend- ent. Our profession is better together.” The Landscape Ontario 2016 provin- cial board includes: Paul Brydges, presi- dent; Warren Patterson, first vice president; David Wright, second vice president; Dave Braun, past president; Lindsay Nightingale, treasurer; Gerwin Bouman, growers; Mark Humphries, snow and ice; Steve Macartney, irriga- tion; Brian Marsh, grounds; Alan White, lawn care; Peter Guinane, contractors; Michael Van Dongen, garden centre; Stephen Schell, interior; James Solecki, lighting; Blake Tubby, member at large; Gregg Salivan, member at large; Michael Pascoe, London chapter; Brian Baun, Durham chapter; Thomas Blatter, Water- loo chapter; Donald Tellier, Windsor chapter; Chris Burns, Ottawa chapter; Margot Burns, Georgian Lakelands chap- ter; Terry Childs, Upper Canada chapter; and Tim Cruickshanks, Golden Horse- shoe chapter.

The Canadian Design and Construction Report — March 2016 – 25 NASCC: The Steel Conference in Orlando April 13 to 15 Networking and education about steel construction concepts, techniques and products Canadian Design and Construction Report The annual North American Steel Construction Confer- ence (NASCC) in Orlando from April 13 to 15 will attract thousands of visitors and more than 200 exhibitors to learn about the latest steel construction concepts, techniques and products. “The planning committee spends a lot of time not just determining topics but also selecting the top experts to speak,” said Scott Melnick, vice president of the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC), which sponsors the event. “Our sessions range from highly technical subjects – such as a discussion of stiffness reduction within the di- rect analysis method for composite design – to business 26 – March 2016 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report topics, such as staff retention in construction employment. We offer more than 125 sessions.” Melnick says the event provides powerful networking opportunities. Last year’s conference attracted a record breaking 4,582 attendees involved in the design and con- struction of steel buildings and bridges. “It’s the perfect place to talk with structural engineers, steel fabricators, steel detailers and erectors,” he said. “We’re even starting to get some general contractors and architects.” Exhibitors will demonstrate “everything from bolts to structural engineering software,” he said. “If you’re a steel fabricator, the steel conference is bet- ter than a candy store. All of the major equipment suppliers are there and they all have their big machinery up and run- ning. You can walk the show and compare machines and really get a feel for what you might next want to purchase for your shop. Likewise, structural engineers and detailers can talk with and see demos of the major software offer- ings.” Melnick suggested three “must attend” programs and activities at the conference: David Zweig “This year’s general session features David Zweig, au- thor of Invincibles,” he said. “In addition to being a great speaker, his topic should really resonate with our atten- dees, especially the structural engineers.” The conference dinner The conference dinner is always a highlight, Melnick said. “This year we’re expecting a fantastic evening and we’re renting out three adjacent venues including a Blues club, a country music venue and a piano bar. There’ll be great food, great entertainment and 1,500 of your closest friends to talk to.” The most powerful session “If I had to pick one session to attend, I’d go with ‘Lessons I wish I had known starting out: The engineer edi- tion’. This fast paced 90-minute session features five top engineers each presenting for eight minutes and then a rollicking question and answer session. We offered a sim- ilar session last year and it was standing room only.” This year, the Steel Conference is co-located with the World Steel Bridge Symposium, offering 21 sessions specifically for bridge designers and highway officials. Ses- sions range from “Accelerated Bridge Construction” to “Ad- vanced Analysis Techniques for Design and Erection.” The conference also incorporates the Structural Stability Re- search Council’s Annual Stability Conference.

We have highly skilled people utilizing the latest technolo- I Industr gies and processes to increase the ability to communicate and collaborate effectively and efficiently with clients.” Pyper remembers the days just a quarter century ago when detailers worked with drafting tables, paper and slide rules. No one then could have predicted the industry today – a globalized business with hundreds of employees onshore and offshore working simultaneously in a globally inte- grated virtual environment, leading to comprehensive and extremely responsive details and instructions that support both Building Information Modeling (BIM) and efficient steel fabrication. Today, we take what would have been the two-dimen- sional model on paper, and convert it into a virtual model in the three-dimensional environment. And there’s lots of talk about the multiple dimensions of cost, and schedule that incorporates the 3D structural model into the entire project cycle from earliest design to the actual building opera- tions.” Structural detailers have always been important for the steel industry. The process of turning high level conceptual designs from architects and engineered design drawings and specifications into workable shop and construction drawings to generate the actual structural components re- quires specialized talents and skills, such skills that can only be acquired through time and experience. The importance of effective detailing cannot be under- stated, Pyper says. High quality detailing ensures efficient fabrication practices and constructability minimizes poten- tial design and construction conflicts. This of course saves significant time and money during the higher labour inten- sive areas such as fabrication and construction. “A detailer must understand every phase each compo- nent takes through the life cycle of a project, from the early design drawings through the late stages of project comple- The Canadian Design and Construction Report — March 2016 – 29 tion and beyond. The detailer needs to know whether each assembly and its components can be fabricated, and whether the bolts and welds specified are sufficient, if and how the steel can be shipped, and/ or whether members clash on site, and/or whether the steel will be architec- turally exposed. These and many more questions must be answered by the steel detailer to ensure the project passes from concept to reality in the most economical method for the client.” The detailing business evolved in the middle part of the last decade, when (with the Internet) offshore businesses began entering the world market, with lower labour costs. Dowco initially responded by working with some offshore contractors. Pyper says however, the company decided the best approach would be to actually own and run its own offshore production operations directly. Today, Dowco has offices in India and the Philippines, but unlike its offshore competitors, it also maintains a sub- stantial employment base at its offices in the Vancouver and Toronto areas. “We have North American knowledge and experience you can only get through time,” Pyper says. “You cannot gain this experience in books or through online courses. In our industry it is all about having the years in business in experience and skills.” Accordingly, Dowco has some 90 employees in Canada. Meanwhile, its offshore labour force helps the company remain competitive on pricing – and because Dowco pays better wages than the offshore norm, it attracts the best talent everywhere in the world. This has spurred rapid growth for Dowco. “About 18 months ago, we were at 100 people, by the end of the year, we had 220 and by the end of this year, we will have 300 employees,” Pyper said. “Through or- ganic growth and planned strategic acquisitions we’re looking at, we want to be as big as some of our large Chi- nese and Indian competitors.” This workforce size expansion has been coupled with rapidly improving technology. Files can now be worked on collaboratively in real-time, avoiding delays and potential errors. The offshore and Canadian labour force combina- tion enables Dowco to offer 24-hour service, and excep- tionally rapid turnaround for fabricators. With enough depth and scale in its labour, it can also take on the largest projects without stress. The future includes more BIM integration and co-ordi- nation, while continuing the North American steel detailing trade. “We’re trying to keep to our vision to continuously promote structural steel detailing in North America,” he said. Technology will continue to evolve to be better and faster as the digital revolution continues. “We’re working to develop a global business with a unique multinational culture, based on the concept that when the work gets done, it gets done right, and on time.” For more information, see www.dowco.com. 30 – March 2016 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report Greenbrook delivers speed, quality and economical detailing for steel fabricators and contractors Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature Greenbrook Engineering Services has achieved enviable results in delivering high quality, rapid, and competitive de- tailing and BIM coordination for steel fabricators and con- tractors. “Detailing has finally been viewed as a critical piece of work in the construction value chain, rather than as some- thing you have to live with,” says Greenbrook president Murli Balu. “Before it was a paper and fax based technology, with printed documents,” he said. “Now there are various soft- ware tools that can provide the same results, and using the Internet as a means of communication, it is a lot faster and more economical.” Greenbrook fits well into this model. Most of the com- pany’s skilled employees work from a delivery center in Bangalore, India, but Balu and other key technical repre- sentatives are based much closer to their clients (Green- brook’s office is in Middlesex, NJ.) The technology has sped up service – tasks that could take days now can be completed in minutes – and reduced costs. (Balu says Greenbrook has been able to reduce its fees by about 18 to 20 per cent over the past six years.) “Our competitive advantage is we’ve got greater access to talent and cost savings,” he said As for the future, “we are moving more and more into a virtual construction environment to ensure that field fit and jobsite co-ordination among various trades is ex- tremely smooth.” For more information about Greenbrook, see www.greenbrookengineering.com.

Designed with CONSTRUCTABILITY and ERECTABILITY in mind! sales@greenbrookengineering.com www.greenbrookengineering.com The Canadian Design and Construction Report — March 2016 – 31 TECHFLOW: Achieving detailing success through strength, experience and technology Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature Techflow Inc. has achieved success in steel detailing through its strength, ex- pertise and technology, says Birming- ham, Alabama based executive vice president Joel Hicks. “Strength is in the numbers – we have more than 350 detailers in five offices in India along with our U.S. office in Trussville, AL (a suburb of Birmingham),” Hicks says. “Our detailers go through rigorous 32 – March 2016 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report training, continuing education and certi- fication and are backed by experienced team leaders and managers in India and our project and management support staff in the U.S.” Hicks is president of the National In- stitute of Steel Detailing (NISD) and says he has been working with other organi- zations to develop new training tools for BIM certification and detailer training to improve the industry. He says that over the past few years, the industry has shifted to an environ- ment where many fabricators are using overseas detailers. “There is a need for the manpower and lower labour costs, but this has its inherent challenges of communication barriers, non-familiarity with U.S. and AISC standards, as well as time differences. Our business model al- leviates these challenges and allows for better communication with fewer prob- lems and faster turn around, while still taking advantage of the lower prices.” “Our U.S. office handles all customer contact and job setup and management to ensure adherence to customer and in- dustry standards,” Hicks said. “We are always on call for our clients, with a high level of experience both in our overseas offices and here.” “Our project managers average well over 20 years experience in detailing and engineering. We utilize the latest tech- nology on the leading software platforms with dedicated crews using Tekla Struc- tures, SDS/2 and BoCad.” The business has achieved NISD certification and ac- tively participates in AISC and ISD com- mittee work and programs. Hicks says Techflow also contributes effectively in new work flows, including Building Information Modeling and Inte- grated Project Delivery (IPD). “We are working to revolutionize the way projects are done,” he said. “We can work with the design team during the design phase and develop the detailing model inte- grated with the design model. This elim- inates any of the issues that come up when the detailing is done as a follow- on trade.” Techflow, Inc. & Techflow Engineers (I) Pvt. Ltd. has emerged as a global leader in steel detailing. We have been breaking the boundaries of geographical limits and developing at lightening speed. Building upon our deep roots in India (Navi Mumbai), we have stretched across the globe establishing our offices in the U.S. in order to better serve the U.S. market, giving a much needed manpower boost to the steel fabrication industry. Our commitment to quality has provided a high level of trust with our clients. Worldwide, our customers believe in us and have entrusted Techflow with detailing their most challenging and complex steel structures. They depend on Techflow to stand up to the challenges of maintaining their expectations for quality and adherence to industry and client specific standards. Through this trust and execution we have strengthened our business base and customer relations to a new level. Our project list includes some of the most recognized and notable structures, some of which required a unique approach to the job, utilizing the latest technology and workflows while maintaining a time honored approach to quality. For all your steel detailing and coordination, BIM management, estimating and consulting needs, whether for the commercial, industrial or sports and entertainment markets, you can depend on Techflow. The Canadian Design and Construction Report — March 2016 – 33 BC Ready-Mixed Concrete Association to become Concrete BC as association implements game changing initiatives Canadian Design and Construction Report staff writer The BC Ready-Mixed Concrete Association (BCRMCA) works to be active and proactive, taking on game changing initiatives at provincial, national and international levels. One of the biggest outward changes the association is implementing in 2016 will be a name change, reflecting something being undertaken by several other regional ready-mixed associations as well. The association will be rebranded as Concrete BC. BCRMCA president Charles Kelly says the move will provide clarity and represents the ready-mixed associa- tions’ broader voice. “Our membership isn’t just ready-mixed concrete any more but includes cement companies, ICF manufacturers, suppliers and pump organizations for instance,” Kelly says. “The name changes you’ll see will bring in the word con- crete to make who we are and what we’re representing much clearer.” Kelly, like many now who have similar responsibilities across the country, does not come from an industry back- ground. He says this is a critical change many associations are embracing. “The previous leaders of associations came from the technical side, which at the time made sense. Today though, the work of the association is about marketing challenges, it is about advocacy and govern- ment relations. That means a new perspective and a dif- ferent skill set is required.” 34 – March 2016 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report These marketing challenges will be addressed with the coming name change. Other efforts already underway in- clude a Concrete Council of Canada seminar series called Material Selection Matters. “These sessions were led by Dr. John Straube, a PhD in structural engineering, widely regarded as a building science guru.” Kelly says Straube, who is considered material neutral, looked at a range of materials in the seminars, examining their strengths and weakness and how they work together. “Really, you can’t build anything without concrete, wood and steel in some combination and that’s what needs to be understood.” Another initiative is the concrete pump competency project. Kelly says industry consultations revealed that 100 per cent of members felt the status quo of no requirement to test for pump operator competency was not sustainable and 80 per cent viewed a need to regulate certification. The initiative began with the development of high compe- tency standards and a set of assessment tools to measure this. Kelly says the written test and safety training manual have been updated and 23 pilot projects have been com- pleted with the new assessment tools. The next stage will be building a business case to look at the best way to roll out the program. “I’ll be presenting this before the Cana- dian Ready Mixed Concrete Association (CRMCA) in May and we hope to have something formal in place later this year.” In identifying and supporting what Kelly calls wide- spread challenges, BCRMCA takes a regional approach that is also international. “I participate in NRMCA (U.S. based National Ready Mixed Concrete Association) and work closely with the Portland Cement Association.” He says he also collaborates closely with colleagues in Washington and Oregon, using memberships in each other’s associations and joint meetings to identify issues specific to common geography beyond political borders. “We also participate, with our colleagues in Alberta, in PNWER (Pacific North West Economic Region). This year, with the Cement Association of Canada standing as a plat- inum sponsor at the PNWER Summit in Calgary in July, we’ll have the opportunity to advance education through sessions on concrete related issues including resilience and sustainability.” Next year the summit will be in Port- land, Oregon. He says it is important for the industry to develop re- gionally coherent messages and that, working with part- ners in both the U.S. and Canada, these messages and marketing strategies will be more effectively developed. Also this year BCRMCA has launched, with the CRMCA, a national partnership to establish Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for Canadian ready mixed manufac- tures.

The as- sociation has been advocating for the industry for more than 50 years. Executive director Robin Bobocel has been travelling throughout the province since his appointment last April, learning about mem- bers’ needs and concerns, and their pride. “Across the board I am hearing about dedica- tion to quality and the pride at the basis of this industry.” For instance, he says he has heard evi- dence of the industry stepping up to self-po- lice, ensuring everyone is operating as they should. “When an accident occurs related to the industry, the first thing I hear from my members is: ‘Is everyone okay,’ and then, 36 – March 2016 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report ‘What can we do to make sure that doesn’t happen again,’” he said. “Safety and co-operation aren’t just buzzwords in our industry, they’re core principles for how we operate.” He says there is a widespread understanding that the in- dustry is stronger in unity and that if one leg falters, every- one suffers. “You must appreciate this is a capital intensive industry. Between fixed and long-term assets, people who are in the business are in for the long haul so it isn’t just about a storefront closing if there are problems.” Bobocel has also received a members’ mandate to increase awareness of concrete’s sustainability, resiliency and flexibility. “Con- crete is everywhere and involved in virtually every project in one form or another. How- ever, it is a component that is easily over- looked,” he said. This ties in well to Bobocel’s other man- date. With his background as a lobbyist, the association’s board of directors has instructed him to become more active in public policy. Robin Bobocel Among the challenges already identified is the quality of finishing work impacting the final product quality. “We’ll be looking at raising the skill level of finishers through a certi- fied concrete finishing program that in the end, will benefit the consumer and project owner.” Excited by the new federal and provincial governments and their commitments to infrastructure spending and sus- tainability, Bobocel will also use his lobbying skills here. “Sustainability is at the forefront of the provincial govern- ment agenda and we are ready to go to the table with an- swers and solutions.” With respect to the federal government’s promised in- frastructure spending he says, realistically, he has no idea what or how much might be directed to Alberta. However, knowing that concrete is involved in virtually every project to some degree, he is confident this investment will benefit the industry. Other efforts will be made to extend and expand part- nerships with other ready mixed associations across the country. “We’ll also look outside our own interests to groups like the Canadian Home Builders’ Association. By building alliances we leverage resources including knowl- edge and best practices, making us all better and stronger.” These alliances are not limited to Canada. Bobocel par- ticipates in the Pacific Northwest Economic Region (PNWER) with public and private representatives from Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, Montana, Washington, B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, the Yukon and the Northwest Territories. Bobocel says this year’s PNWER summit in Calgary in July will provide an opportunity to present a Concrete 101 outline and share with participants concrete’s story of re- silience and sustainability. “This year we’ll begin the en- gagement, hopefully raising the bar in knowledge and technical language to start and then we can grow from there.” Bobocel says the industry as a whole is committed to safety and quality; both of which require skilled labour. “From the batch mixing person to the driver delivering the product, there needs to be skill and a commitment to safety.” He says the industry prefers to be proactive, creating its own initiatives for the environment and sustainability for in- stance. That same principle applies to safety as the industry begins its efforts towards a pump safety certification pro- gram. “There aren’t a lot of restrictions or conditions now on who can operate these pumps and they’re heavy and potentially dangerous pieces of equipment if not operated properly.” At the association’s annual general meeting in May, he says members can expect to hear some exciting announce- ments about changes to the organization and a new direc- tion and strategic plan. This, he says, has been part of his effort to meet with and hear from members. “As the asso- ciation changes and evolves, it is important to have the members engaged, to know our strengths and weaknesses so we can make changes that will benefit us all.” For more information about ARMCA, visit www.armca.ca. The Canadian Design and Construction Report — March 2016 – 37 Born in hard times, open shop movement association has thrived through effective advocacy and solid benefits and services Canadian Design and Construction Report staff writer Merit Alberta’s success and history reflects the progress and achievements of the open shop labour movement. The association has more than 1,450 mem- bers who have lived through the province’s boom and bust resource cycles. Today’s eco- nomic conditions are not great – yet Merit Al- berta’s history traces back to even more challenging times in 1985, when 15 contractors met to consider their futures. 38 – March 2016 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report OPEN SHOP CONTRACTING ALBERTA “Construction was pretty well at a standstill and any work going on was being built union free,” the Merit Alberta website reports. “Work- ers had few benefits, wages were low and profit margins were non-existent. It was time for com- panies to focus on the needs of their workers.” “From that dilemma, the idea of an industry- wide, portable benefit plan for open shop work- ers was born and, not long afterward, an organization to run it and, in time, to expand to other areas,” said Line Porfon, vice president of government relations. “Today there are more than 60,000 people enrolled in the benefit pro- grams.” Indeed, Merit Alberta’s benefits represents one of its biggest advantages. The hour bank program allows life insurance, disability, health, dental and other benefits to be transferred be- tween businesses (and outside of Alberta through the national program), providing individ- ual workers and their families resources and serv- ices formerly only available in the unionized sector. These benefits are supplemented by ad- ditional programs for office and supervisory workers, and there are optional retirement and discount savings opportunities as well. The hour bank benefit plan, developed in Al- berta to accommodate the transient nature of construction employees between companies, is now offered in other provinces. The program has conferred a significant advantage to Merit Al- berta members and may be of special value in the current economy, where some members will need to leave the province to find employment. The hour bank’s portability enables workers to “depend on their benefit coverage continuing uninterrupted as they followed available work from region to region,” the association says. Merit Alberta has also taken a leadership in skills training with financial support for local school districts introducing construction trades exposure programs. Merit also offers post sec- ondary and apprenticeship scholarships for the children of members, as well as tuition reim- bursement programs for apprenticeship courses. As well, the association co-ordinates training programs for workers and employers on topics such as scaffolding, leadership development for supervisors, rigging and hoisting and project management. The benefits services creates a pragmatic ad- vantage for Merit Alberta membership as individ- ual businesses could not hope to create the same benefits level and portability if they tried to emulate these services themselves – but there are deeper values behind the association. “Of the original small group, about two-thirds could have been described as philosophically committed to open shop and the others were more pragmatic,“ says president Malcolm B. Kirkland. “The philosophical group was, for many years, the mainstay of the association and prob- ably it was largely due to their commitment that the group continued beyond the first year.” Historically, the construction industry was highly unionized. Half a century ago, upwards of 75 per cent of construction throughout Canada and the U.S. was completed by workers affiliated with building trade unions. “The union sector of- fered a highly skilled and efficient workforce at competitive market rates. Building unions were considered the only option, especially if large workforces needed to be in place over short time periods and in particular for industrial construc- tion,” Kirkland said. “However, massive changes occurred in the industry beginning in the late ‘50s and early ‘60s in the USA and the late ‘70s and early ‘80s in Canada,” he says. “These changes were in part a response to escalating costs of building union and excessive work disruptions and jurisdictional disputes. The transition was made easier through increased management skills and growing ca- pacity of open shop firms. The changes in some areas have been gradual yet in provinces like Al- berta, they occurred virtually overnight.” “Open shop member companies and their employees are some of the most productive and safe in the construction industry,” Kirkland said. Porfon says current Merit Alberta priorities focus on its member firms and their employees in six core areas including: • Government relations: To influence factors affecting the Alberta construction industry with government and regulatory agencies; • Employee relations services: Expert industry advisory services on legislative, regulatory and policy frameworks, including communicating industry issues and trends; • The extensive group benefits services; • Workforce development: Helping construc- tion workers to acquire the skills they need in a variety of areas including apprenticeship training, skills upgrading and supervisory train- ing. • Stakeholder community engagement: Col- laborating with industry partners on initiatives and projects reflecting the industry’s current and future needs; • Affinity programs: Developing access to a suite of services that add value to member companies and employees.

The Canadian Design and Construction Report — March 2016 – 39 OPEN SHOP CONTRACTING ALBERTA Calgary based McIntyre Crane & Rigging Ltd. provides personalized service and responsiveness Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature Calgary based McIntyre Crane & Rig- ging Ltd. offers a full range of equip- ment and services to meet clients’ demands. As a smaller, open shop con- tractor, the company provides personal- ized service. Dallas McIntyre, company founder and president, says that with time, McIntyre has added equipment that “al- lows us to be a bit better at dealing with all our clients’ needs. We can now transport larger loads as well as set big- ger loads or higher and further away with our 100 tonne crane.” While there are larger companies who offer similar services, McIntyre says the clients he deals with appreci- ate a more personal service level. He says they also understand that safety, quality and commitment reflect individ- uals, not the company size. “Our com- mitment is to treat people the way we want to be treated, to find solutions and then get the work done and to do what we say we are going to do.” McIntyre employs 10 and all of his clients have direct access to him di- rectly. “My card has my personal cell phone number on it and I can be reached on it 24/7. Dealing this directly clients are never caught up in red tape or finding the right person to speak with.” He says he and his staff all do the best job they can and says they hold themselves accountable. While the company must have policies and proce- dures in place to protect clients, em- ployees, and the general public, he says staff are given the authority to treat each client as an individual and each job or project as its own. This does not mean the company lacks expertise or experience in creating its policies and procedures. Rather, McIntyre says his company has built its safety manuals, not only from its own operating procedures but also off of the policies of larger companies McIntyre works for. “This gives us the advantage of all the best of the best policies, pro- cedures and practices to incorporate into our safety culture.” 40 – March 2016 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report His clients, he says, also appreciate dealing with a local company because they know profits stay local and are rein- vested locally also. “This is key to the strength of our own economy. Many large corporations take their profits out of the province or country.” He says all of this relates to the customer centric focus often found in smaller companies who work harder to impress clients and keep them coming back. McIntyre’s clients include HVAC companies, commercial roofing businesses and others who work with powerlines and communication towers. “We also load out for transport com- panies. We are really quite diverse; we go anywhere and can tackle almost anything. You name it and we have been there.” He says, for instance, the company will take on projects in transporting and industrial moving. This may include craning a unit onto a truck trailer, delivering it to the site, offloading it and then moving it inside a building into a specified location for a fixed cost. “Over the years I have moved many fun items including 200-year old fireplaces, crematoriums and such.” McIntyre Crane & Rigging has a variety of equipment for sale or rent including skidsteers, spreaders, gravel buckets, rigging and outrigger mats. It can provide industrial moving and man basket services and has worked across the province. For more information, visit http://www.mcintyrecrane.ca. McIntyre Crane & Rigging Provides Crane, Rigging and hoisting services to many of the various industries in Alberta. We pride ourselves on our unwavering commitment to safety and customer satisfaction.

WBF CEO JudyLynn Archer, says the skilled trades short- age is real, it is coming and it will present a significant chal- lenge for the Canadian economy. She says the challenge though is not just getting people into these positions, but doing so in a way that educates individuals about what is in- volved and then preparing and supporting them to stay. Over the past decade, she says WBF has seen a huge turn- around in women’s participation in construction, in part be- cause of awareness of the looming shortage, and in part be- cause organizations have decided to invest more in develop- ing Canada’s local workforce, specifically, women. Companies such as Mammoet, Suncor, TransCanada as well as labour or- ganizations such as CLAC and the Building Trades of Alberta have recognized the value in hiring WBF graduates and have partnered with WBF to position their organizations as ‘WBF Employers of Choice.’ Despite this progress, she says the trades are not spoken of enough in the context of women, and still it is a conversa- tion not had early enough with girls. That early introduction, as well as supporting women’s decisions along the way, is crucial. J US ANO TH ER JUST T ANOTHER C A S CASE E OF W NI DOW ENVY.

The Canadian Design and Construction Report — March 2016 – 43 “The key challenges around getting women into the skilled trades are very similar, in many ways, to anyone entering any career for the first time – you do not know what to expect, you do not know the rules of the road, the norms, the culture, the job expectations, you may not understand or have the neces- sary skills and competencies, and you likely don’t know the protocols for communication.” “The same is true of any industry that is predominantly one gender because its culture may be confusing and not imme- diately understood by the other gender,” Archer says. “Think of the first male teachers or the first waves of male nurses.” She says WBF addresses this issue in three ways: by help- ing women make a well informed decision before entering trades training or employment; by providing training specifi- cally designed to help women meet safety and productivity standards starting on their first day at work; and by helping women practice strategies proven to help them thrive in this work environment. The organization also provides direct support for employers on best practices for hiring and retaining tradeswomen (coach- ing and training). “WBF focuses on making sure that its graduates are well prepared to be safe and productive on the job site, starting day one. At the end of the day, this focus addresses the concerns both for women and their employers.” Archer says employers with whom WBF works need and want workers who are available locally and who can be safe and productive. Though that sounds like an open call, she says it is also important to appreciate that this kind of work and work environment is not for everyone. “Individuals most likely to succeed share certain traits – they tend to be quick learners and eager to learn, they enjoy being physically active and fit, they enjoy challenges and teamwork, and appreciate the sense of pride that comes from a tough job well done.” 44 – March 2016 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report She says having the right attitude and the right work ethic are equally high on the list of key competencies. “The best thing an employer can do is to hire women who demonstrate readiness either because they’ve had previous experience on the job or they’ve successfully completed a rigorous training program (such as at WBF) that focuses on the key success competencies and take some best practice training from WBF.” For example, she says WBF readiness courses such as Workplace Culture Awareness can make all the difference in terms of success. It is well documented that differences between the way men and women communicate and problem solve can be har- nessed to create strong, multi-talented, cross skilled teams. “We love this industry and we know that it is a first choice career and lifestyle option for women. The career path oppor- tunities are endless, and this is an industry that pays its work- force some of the highest wages in Canada.” She says for women who want a career that will open doors to opportunity, who like to make great money, have a great lifestyle (travel, home purchase, shopping, being fit and phys- ically active), and spend their workday mentally engaged, con- struction presents an extremely viable career choice. “Our advice for everyone is the same - do your research. This indus- try isn’t for every man or woman. Find out if it’s for you before making a commitment or investment.” For those who do fit the bill, the opportunities are endless. “Also, apprenticeship is a process where you ‘earn while you learn’ so if you plan well you should be able to finish all your technical training without accumulating debt,” she said. “Within four years you can achieve full certification and begin growing your career in earnest.” Canada’s changing demo- graphics is creating opportunity at all levels. Companies are looking for people who want to learn, grow and advance their career. “At end of the day, the critical driving force is need,” she said. “As 26 per cent of the industry retires, more of these roles will go to women. There has never been a better time in the history of our country for women to enter the world of con- struction.” For more information about Women Building Futures, visit http://www.womenbuildingfutures.com. CLAC and PCA develop collaborative and flexible model for construction industry labour relations Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature Two co-operating union and employer associations believe there is a third option for construction industry labour/man- agement relationships: avoiding the jurisdictional rigidity and adversarialism of the traditional building trades model, while allowing workers the benefits and advantages that accrue from a modern and collaborative collective bargaining ap- proach. Employers associated with the Progressive Contractors Association of Canada (PCA) and union leaders representing the Christian Labour Association of Canada (CLAC) believe their model, which focuses on labour-management collabo- ration and workplace flexibility, while ensuring workplace health and safety, benefits and fair wages, has succeeded and is gaining traction across the country. “We’ve developed the model over six decades,” says CLAC executive director Dick Heinen. “It’s very successful. We’re seeing other unions are finally realizing that the future is with partnership rather than adversarial relationships. The mainstream unions today are recognizing that they get a whole lot further if they act collaboratively.” PCA president Paul de Jong said the old model resulted in a polarized construction economy. Most large industrial con- struction projects were built by contractors associated with the traditional craft unions. In contrast, smaller residential and commercial construction projects were undertaken by con- struction firms where employees did not belong to a union. Many of these non-union employers acknowledged their employees’ right to unionize, but wanted to avoid “costly and energy draining adversarial struggles with the building trade unions” – and so appreciated the more broad minded ideas behind CLAC, which “has more of a partnership mindset, with a co-operative labour relations philosophy,” de Jong said. “CLAC has an appreciation of the broader ecosystem where business takes place.” The Canadian Design and Construction Report — March 2016 – 45 This new labour-management model has proven success- ful in mobilizing large labour force requirements for places such as the Ft. McMurray oil sands, numerous large infra- structure projects, and more recently, the mammoth Site C BC Hydro project. “We’ve had projects where we can crew up 2,000 or 2,500 workers for a single project,” he said. Here the interdiscipli- nary systems combined with collective bargaining ensure ef- fective mobilization. Transferrable CLAC negotiated benefits coupled with responsible wage packages ensure that trades- people receive incomes comparable to their craft union coun- terparts. Yet with greater interdisciplinary work flexibility, coupled with a higher apprentice to journeyperson ratio, em- ployers can be competitive on costs. “We believe in a multi-skilled wall to wall approach where people are doing whatever needs to be done to get the proj- ects done,” said CLAC’s Heinen. “We’re going to have up- skilled sites, with multi-skilling – and there is evidence this doesn’t affect safety. Our jobs are as safe or safer than any other jobs out there.” CLAC has training centres throughout the country “which focus on safety, a core part of the training curriculum.” PCA and CLAC, meanwhile, co-operate on apprenticeships to resolve the challenges of an aging labour force. “Our mem- ber contractors deliberately invest in apprentices,” de Jong says. “The traditional union apprentice to journeyman ratio is 15 to 25 per cent; our ratios are as high as 30 to 40 per cent.” As well, PCA contractors have been creating jobs for Aborig- inal community members as well as providing opportunities for women in construction. PCA’s biggest challenges are in jurisdictions where labour laws create a closed door environment, requiring municipali- ties and other agencies to work only with contractors associ- ated with the traditional building trades. This monopoly type structure, of course, raises costs and discourages innovation and competitiveness. “Although there have been some improvements in how construction has been done, in most ways construction as it is done today hasn’t changed from decades ago,” de Jong says. “We need to find ways to bring increased productivity and innovation to the industry.” 46 – March 2016 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report “How can we facilitate a smarter dialogue, in which con- struction project owners more effectively engage their stake- holders?” he asked. In the ideal environment, the engineering company should meet with the contractor before work starts, reviewing con- structability concepts, seeking higher productivity, and reduc- ing costs through effective collaboration, he said. This co-ordinated business model is enhanced when contractors can negotiate flexible working arrangements with their labour union partner. “You can’t take one element out by itself,” de Jong says. “You need to collaborate all across the value chain to compete and to have stronger investment in the projects.” Of course, no one either in PCA or CLAC is immune from broader economic cycle challenges. There have been layoffs in the Ft. McMurray area, although the collaborative and in- terdisciplinary attitude to workforce mobilization has advan- tages in harder times as well as when the economy is booming. In the oil sands, for example, CLAC members can adapt to maintenance roles and contractors may share geo- graphical mobility options with their co-operatively unionized employees. “Some workers may be willing to be mobile and work in different provinces,” de Jong said. “Employers create tremen- dous loyalty when they continue their workers’ employment through tough times. They want to keep their work force. When the lights eventually come back on in Ft. McMurray, those guys are willing and able to work.” Meanwhile, Heinen says as he prepares to retire – he has been associated with CLAC since 1968 – the union has “be- come more self-consciously member focused and we have been self-consciously doing a better job in servicing and work- ing with our members.” “We’ve also increased our profiles with the employers,” he said. “We have ramped up the education program for staff and representatives. We’ve become more professional.” He says CLAC’s success indicates a continuing member- ship growth in the range of 10 per cent a year. There may be some bumps along the way, but “infrastructure money will spur the business,” and the future is bright for the union, Heinen says. CQN Advantage: Contractor management software avoids the negative qualities of third party verification services Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature Automated contractor and supplier prequalification man- agement systems have recently become controversial flash points in Canada’s contracting community, especially where owners rely on third party verification systems (which also charge fees to contractor and subtrade participants) for safety and compliance confirmations. However, how would the story change if there is a contrac- tor qualification management system that avoids the negative issues, yet provides administrative and management efficien- cies? The Contractor Qualification Network (CQN) Advantage “is a less expensive, more practical approach” to meeting pur- chasers’ needs in an environment where “contractor assess- ment is a multistage process that requires increasingly more due diligence the closer to ultimate contractor selection the process gets,” says CQN president Patrick Robinson. “Sys- tems that force all of the work into the prequalification stage are doing it inefficiently and too expensively.” It is ideal for contractors working within the Certificate of Recognition (COR) safety compliance system – which has be- come increasingly important as owners such as the City of Toronto require it for an increasing number of projects. CQN Advantage TM allows owners and general contractors to customize the prequalification questions to suit their re- quirements. There isn’t a one size fits all model; questions for a subcontractor that may be required to visit a job site only occasionally can be different from a key, continuously present contractor. “The product design is based on the needs of the pur- chaser and their subcontractor groupings,” Robinson said. “There are no subcontractor fees and we, as a third party, don’t administer the approval process. This saves administra- tive time and costs, avoids forcing redundant requirements on the contractors, and “contractor assessment remains in the domain of the general contractor, as it always was prior to (third party) registries entering the marketplace.” Robinson provided some examples of how the CQN Ad- vantage system meets “specific client needs with flexible product design and fit for purpose business solutions.” A large petroleum services contractor wanted automation to deploy custom subcontractor questionnaires meeting the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers Contractor HSE Contract Requirements Guide (that is, a questionnaire that had no duplication of any item covered off by the COR process.) This capability was at the top of the purchasing de- cision making criteria for this general contractor. A small communication design and engineering company that also provides project and construction management serv- ices had a business requirement to provide its client with proof of a viable prequalification process that would, in turn, allow it to provide construction management services. “CQN Advantage provided them a transparent, turnkey contractor management solution,” Robinson said. A large power distributor required an industry specific questionnaire for aircraft (fixed and rotary wing) services con- tractors. “They worked with their contractors to build out a custom, fit for purpose questionnaire and document submittal that contained germane industry specific criteria,” he said. “CNQ Advantage reflects an effective evolution of third party contractor management systems from high cost, reg- istry controlled questionnaires and approval systems, to more flexible and economical user self-serve approaches,” Robin- son said. “We’ve achieved the advantages these online serv- ices provide, without much of the cost, limitations and irritation.” For more information about CQN Advantage, visit www.cqnadvantage.com or email info@cqnadvantage.com.
