This issue reflects the diversity of issues and chal- lenges in the architectural, engineering and construc- tion community, from the beginning of the process – with a look at how the Seller-Doer Model applies for business development – to the conclusion – getting paid; a contentious and challenging issue as initiatives to develop legislation and better practices are intro- duced both provincially and federally. There are other stories, ranging from concrete and concrete pumping, to sustainability, building code de- velopments, and construction in Canada’s far north. As usual, we also publish a coast-to-coast round-up of relevant industry news. After we send the image files to the printer (and post this issue on the web at www.cadcr.com), I’ll take a few days summer break – before preparing the next issue to be published in September. As always, if you have story ideas, suggestions, or simply wish to express your thoughts, your comments are most welcome.

To address these demands, some 600 changes were intro- duced in the National Model Construction Codes, now known as Codes Canada. The 2015 edition of the codes respond to the changing needs of Canadians and to new technologies, materials, and re- search. • All buildings in Canada will now be de- signed for earthquake forces regardless of the level of hazard; • New design requirements will improve accessibility of stairs and washrooms; • Increased run dimension of steps inside houses from the current minimum of 210 mm to a new minimum of 254 mm could reduce fall incidences by up to 64 per cent; • New requirements to flow rates in show- ers will reduce water usage in buildings; and • Additional protection measures such as higher stan- dards for automatic sprinkler systems will allow for the construction of six-storey wood buildings. “I am very pleased to announce the launch of the 2015 editions of Codes Canada,” Douglas Crawford, chair of the Canadian Commission on Building and Fire Codes, said in a statement. “Their development is the result of a great deal of work from over 600 dedicated volunteers, broad consultations, and the excellent staff support provided by NRC’s Codes Canada. This work has benefited from, and been informed by, our ongoing partnership with the provinces and territories and strong working relationships with key stakeholders.” In response to climate change, the Government of Canada has announced an additional $40 million over five years to integrate climate resilience into building design guides and codes. Funding will support revised national building codes, and guides integrating climate resiliency into the design and rehabilitation of public infrastructure will be ready for adoption in 2020. “For over 75 years, the National Research Council has supported an open and collaborative development process,” said Philip Rizcallah, director of building regula- tions at the National Research Council of Canada. “Our goal is to produce effective building and safety regulations that are harmonized across Canada by collaborating with Canada’s provinces and territories and the Canadian Com- mission on Building and Fire Codes.” Codes Canada are developed by the Canadian Commis- sion on Building and Fire Codes and are published every five years by the National Research Council of Canada (NRC). This includes the National Building Code, the Na- tional Fire Code, the National Plumbing Code, and the Na- tional Energy Code for Buildings. The Canadian Commission on Building and Fire Codes is an independent and public committee of volunteers es- tablished by the National Research Council (NRC) and re- sponsible for developing and updating the National Model Construction Codes. Under Canada’s constitution, provinces and territories regulate the design and construction of new houses and buildings, as well as the maintenance and operation of fire safety systems in existing buildings. Anyone can submit a code change request at any time through NRC’s website. These requests are reviewed and, if approved, help improve the codes. Codes Canada are published in print or electronic for- mat under a variety of price points, including: student dis- counts, bulk discounts, and short term online subscription rates.

Efforts to legislate payment standards reached an in- tense level in Ontario in 2013-14 when trade contractors sought to push through a private members’ bill which (rarely, for non-government sponsored legislation) made it through second reading and the committee stage, before it was derailed by an opposing coalition of owners and some general contractors. However, the defeat wasn’t total. The Ontario govern- ment called for a review of the Construction Lien Act (CLA), with a mandate to explore the entire pay- ment process. Lawyers Bruce Reynolds and Sharon Vogel, after extensive consulta- tions with the industry stakeholders through 2015 and into 2016, submit- ted a comprehensive report at the beginning of May. A few days later, at the Toronto Construction Association’s Mem- bers’ Day, a panel of lawyers and construction industry leaders ex- plored the likely implications of the CLA review and its impact on pay- ment practices and dispute resolu- tion. (See separate story.) Some Ontario industry leaders ex- pected the government to quickly release its implementation decision, but there has (at press time in early July) still been no announce- ment. This has led to speculation that the latest effort on prompt payment reform may also be derailed, but Clive Thurston, president of the Ontario General Contractors As- sociation (OGCA) says there is no need for concern. “First, we do know it is a lengthy and comprehensive re- port, some 300 pages and 100 or so recommendations,” Thurston wrote in a note to OGCA members. “We do know that Mr. Reynolds and Ms. Vogel underwent a very thor- ough hearing from more than 60 parties, and they con- ducted interviews and consultations to ensure they heard everything that was necessary. Those of us who know Mr. Reynolds and Ms. Vogel are not surprised that they would be tabling a thorough and comprehensive report on this dif- ficult issue. “Further unrelated events within the government re- quired more time: the translation and publishing of the doc- ument to the government members responsible; the illness of one of the two ministers involved in overseeing the re- port; the premier being on trade missions; and most im- portantly, the cabinet shuffle, meaning two new ministers must be brought up to speed before the report goes public. Such delays, while disappointing, are not some part of a scheme to delay the documents release as some would have you believe, going so far as to accuse the Attorney General’s office of not having the competence to review it and the government itself of not caring. “Such unfounded and inflammatory rhetoric belongs in the National Enquirer, not on the pages of any reputable in- dustry voice,” Thurston wrote. “We believe that once released, and we do not expect that to be much longer, then the real work will begin. While no one knows exactly what is in it, we believe that it will be the start of a ground breaking effort to reform the payment system for our projects in On- tario and will resonate across Canada. Its success will depend on the, so far, highly polarized sides putting aside their prejudices and personal agen- das to work together side by side to achieve fairness and reform in the payment process for all par- ties.” Meanwhile, the Canadian Senate is considering federal level prompt payment legislation, through the Canada Prompt Pay- ment Act. While most legislation starts in the House of Commons and follows through to the Senate, in this case, the legislation was introduced by Sen. Don Plett, who had been the owner of a heating and ventilation company before launching his political career. It is not a government bill and the government has not commented on it. So it is uncertain whether the legislation will make much progress. Even if it does, it will be re- stricted in application to the narrow aspects of the con- struction industry subject to federal, rather than provincial jurisdiction. “The act defines the scope of a government institution to include a department or ministry of state of the Govern- ment Canada, and certain other listed bodies, offices or crown corporations,” the Ottawa Construction Associa- tion’s Construction Comment magazine reports. The proposed federal legislation would codify a require- ment for progress payments and the timing of these progress payments, both at the owners’ level, and from the general through the sub and sub-subcontractors. There also are provisions for milestone payments, interest, the right to suspend or terminate work on projects, and the right to information – namely, the due dates for the progress payments and final payments under the contract. The Canadian Design and Construction Report — September 2016 – 7 Ontario’s Construction Lien Act Review: What to expect when it is released Canadian Design and Construction Report staff writer Months after Bruce Reynolds and Sharon Vogel submit- ted their comprehensive report on recommendations for changes to Ontario’s Construction Lien Act, there is still si- lence from the provincial government about the review’s contents, and how and when the recommendations will be implemented. The Toronto Construction Association (TCA) announced Reynolds would be the guest speaker at its May 11 Mem- bers’ Day, expecting the report to be released by then, but Reynolds, billed as the guest speaker, couldn’t show up be- cause the report had not been made public. “We were optimistic” until the last minute that the report would be released and Reynolds would attend, John Mol- lenhauer, the TCA’s president and CEO, told a packed meet- ing room where the audience was waiting to hear from Reynolds. “The report is 299 pages long, has dozens of pages of appendices, with 14 chapters and 100 recommen- dations. They (government officials) have to assimilate the data, brief the ministers and then release it. It’s probably two or three weeks to release publicly.” However, while the report could not be public, panelists at the TCA gathering sought to explain what would likely be in it in a forum moderated by construction lawyer Glen Ackerley, a partner at WierFoulds LLP, and one of 13 mem- bers of an advisory group which he said “Bruce and Sharon bounced ideas off.” Ackerley said the existing CLA is 33 years old. “At that point I was typing essays on a Commodore 64,” he said. “Technology has moved forward, but the Lien Act has not. Projects are much more complicated, relationships have grown much more complex, project delivery models like the AFP (alternative financing and procurement) model came in since the act was passed. There are situations where the act has not kept up.” He said there have been very few changes with the leg- islation in the more than three decades since its introduc- tion. The challenge in making changes – and a partial reason for the long delay in dealing with the act – relate to the var- ious vested interests and perspectives, each with their own perspective, coupled with the fact that the CLA could not be considered a central political priority. These conditions changed when trade contractors pushed forward with their objectives to introduce prompt payment legislation, which resulted in a private members’ bill (Bill 69) that went through committee but was stalled after a public outcry by key stakeholders including owners who believed their needs were not considered in the act. The solution: Reynolds and Vogel were contracted to develop a solution, which could involve revisions to the CLA and/or some form of prompt payment legislation. They 8 – September 2016 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report would “do what is right in the interests of the industry,” Ackerley said. “They could recommend something every- one wouldn’t agree to – everything is on the table.” Panelist Gerald Boyle, vice president of Revay and As- sociates Ltd., said he understands the review considered adjudication as well as mediation, arbitration and dispute resolution boards. The concept of a “quick and dirty” adjudication process, which has been applied in other jurisdictions, sees a mandatory decision set quickly by an adjudicator “selected by the two parties” and the decision can only be appealed to the courts after the project is completed. In effect, he said, this process gives some advantage to the contractor or subtrade making the claim, as work can be done privately preparing the arguments, and the other side (perhaps the owner or general contractor) won’t have much time to file a response. However, the “pay now, argue later” approach allows the project to move forward and for matters to be sorted out without excessive delay. Very few cases actually go to litigation afterwards, he says. Yonni Fushman, vice president and general deputy coun- sel, Aecon Group Inc., said the Bill 69 prompt payment “was like a nuclear missile approach rather than a fly swat- ter.” He said the industry is incredibly complex. Can the same legislation apply to a $1,000 renovation and a multi- billion Public/Private/Partnership (P3) project? “Everyone has issues with cash flow,” he said. However, there can be many different reasons for payment delays. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Continued on page 11 TM Build bold. She wrote the e-book on confidence.

Canadian Design and Construction Report staff writer Construction lawyer Debbie Bellinger says the most im- portant consideration in construction contracts isn’t the legal wording or contract form – it is whether the contract truly reflects the mutual understanding between the parties to the agreement. “If you feel you are about to get hung out to dry it is probably not a good contract,” the partner with Nelligan O’Brien Payne LLP told a Construction Specifications Canada (CSC) Ottawa chapter gathering, where she ex- plained the characteristics, advantages, and challenges with different contract formats. “If you have trust between the parties, the contract will be that much better.” “The form of the contract is not the foundation of a good project. A good project (happens when) the understanding of the parties is clear, including their scope and obligations, she said. Bellinger said there is “always a danger of disconnect” between the people negotiating the contract “and the peo- ple on the ground – the project manager and site people” and she said the ground level insights “are as important in assessing risks” as those in the lawyer’s office. She said “the paper contract is nothing more than the reflection of the intention and understanding of the parties with respect to a promise. “The contract is only as good as the whole of the con- tract documents and the mutual understanding of the par- ties.” She said well drafted contracts, regardless of form, goes beyond the key obligations and shifting of risks. The contract also: • Sets out processes and procedures; • Sets out benchmarks for expectations; • Sets out a means to record changes; • Sets out a means for resolving and preventing disputes, including the consultant, locale, choice of arbitrator, and the costs of arbitration and process; • Confirms the obligations of the parties; and • Allocates risks and rewards. 10 – September 2016 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report Bellinger said there are real challenges with enforcement terms when things go wrong. “There’s a real break point determining which disputes are worth fighting and which aren’t,” she said. There is always merit in “trying to work it out without lawyers.” Bellinger says one of the biggest mistakes made is when shortcuts are taken in drafting contracts by lifting conditions and content from other projects and applying them when they aren’t appropriate. The standard form con- tracts work well, but it is important to fill in the details cor- rectly and “when you start tweaking one part of the standard form” you have to consider “what impact it will have on others.” “Don’t skip over developments of common understand- ing when negotiating,” she advised. “Don’t hand off the drafting of the contract document to someone else.” The choice of delivery model will depend on a variety of circumstances including the owner’s experience level, fi- nancing/lending requirements, the budget and status of de- sign, the schedule and pressures on schedule, and quality versus price. “There is a danger if you push too much risk to the other party, if you end up in dispute, the other party is going to push back,” she said. Bellinger then outlined the different contracting models, excluding Public/Private Partnerships (P3s) because these complex undertakings have their own special challenges. Fixed price This standard contract format “allocates the majority of the risk on prices, schedule and performance to the con- tractor” – the owner’s only exposure and liability relates to the obligation to pay the fixed costs. Not surprisingly, the biggest challenges occur when there are “changes in the scope of work, delays or other factors that are beyond the contractor’s control” resulting in change orders. “Detailed specs and plans are essential for avoiding cost cutting on the part of the contractor and disputes as to scope of work in the fixed price.” There can also be chal- lenges if there are changes in the building code between the bid date and the issuance of the building permit. Cost plus In this model, the owner pays the general contractor the costs of construction plus a predetermined fee. This shifts risk to the owner – because there is no incentive (other than repeat business opportunities) for the contractor to mini- mize costs. While it can be helpful to have the general con- tractor involved earlier in the process with this model, the “uncertainty in terms of total cost to the owner” causes fi- nancing challenges, as well as equity issues as the “owner takes liability on cost overruns.” Construction Management This model makes the most sense when the owner has solid construction experience. Essentially, the owner as- sumes the responsibilities (and risks) of the general con- tractor, contracting with the contractor as a consultant, who in turn contracts with sub-consultants. “The construction manager acts as the owner’s agent and is typically com- pensated for the cost of the work plus a predetermined fee.” The owner assumes virtually all of the project risks. Challenges arise when the construction manager must answer to two masters, the design consultant and the owner “each of whom may disrupt schedule or budget” – and the difficulties in managing the schedule and budget if contract documents are incomplete. Construction Management at Risk Here, the owner contracts directly with the consultant and the construction manager. “The construction manager then contracts with trade contractors, assuming the obli- gations of the owner.” Bellinger says this model incentivizes keeping the proj- ect on schedule but there is “tension where construction costs or schedule are impacted by design issues” – there can be “finger pointing between the owner’s consultants and the construction manager and trade contractors.” Ontario’s Construction Lien Act Review Continued from page 8 “The current legislation requires a fight,” he said. “It is a multi-year process. You are paying interest on money that you are borrowing. That’s where adjudica- tion becomes an interesting option.” It would be better than just putting a lien on the project, where holdbacks and payment delays can stretch for years. Howard Krapat, partner at DLA Piper, also said that the adjudication process might combine a solution to the Lien Act’s costly delays and consequences for prompt payment. Ackerley said the key may be three concepts, “woven together in some fashion” including prompt payment rules, a new adjudication process, and these two ideas married with the existing lien legislation. He said there is a fourth issue – how money is han- dled within a construction project, specifically the trust account concept. The CLA’s trust provisions “is sort of a second pro- tective remedy, which comes up frequently in insol- vency proceedings,” Krapat said. But this has another layer, because of conflicts at times with the federal Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act – which receives priority in considering the rules. OVER $1,000,000,000 Design-Bid Build Bellinger says “this model has gone by the wayside” be- cause of the accountability issues and conflicts that can arise. The owner contracts with the designer and hires the builder at the early stage – and the builder is expected to “come in on a fixed price before design is final.” “This can work if the owner is prepared to give basic re- quirements and stand back” but can be problematic be- cause the architect and builder aren’t working together, and “the constructibility of the design becomes an issue.” Design/Build (Integrated Project Model) In this model, the contractor and/or design/contracting team set out to achieve the owner’s objectives with the ability of the contractor and designer to modify the project to meet the objectives. “Giving a fixed price, it’s the pricing of the building based on a basic statement of requirements of the owner.” The challenge is that the owner should not get too far into the details.” The cohesive team approach from the beginning elimi- nates many conflicts and delays, she said. “There’s in- creased potential for a relatively certain fixed price since all parties are working together to conform to the owner’s re- quirements.” 600 - 1000 Centre St. N Calgary, AB Main 403.296.2400 Toll Free 1.800.565.8132 rogersinsurance.ca The Canadian Design and Construction Report — September 2016 – 11 The seller-doer business development model Opportunity shines for collaboration in capturing new business The painful recession in the latter part of the 2000s has created a shining light of opportunity for architectural, en- gineering and construction practitioners ready to capitalize on it in the decades ahead: The integration of business de- velopment and professional/technical work – and the prac- tical expansion of the seller-doer model. Today, the mantra is “everyone should be involved in business development,” evolving the early era rainmaker model and the later approach borrowed from other indus- tries of dedicated sales (business development) represen- tatives. New research indicates that an integrated system works best. Project managers and even junior engineers and architects help out in capturing new business for their practices. The most recent model shift initially occurred with the blunt force trauma. As the 2008 recession tore into estab- lished AEC businesses, specialized business development staff were dismissed and project managers were asked to 12 – September 2016 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report step in and help bring in new business through their rela- tionship network. Today though, conditions are very different and now the story is a shortage of time and, in some cases, qualified professionals. Without planning, co-ordination and special- ized training, overworked doers may struggle to apply the best business development practices. Even if practices try to resolve the problem by rehiring dedicated business de- velopment specialists, they will find that some clients may prefer meeting with “doers.” SMPS Foundation research from the book AEC Business Development – The Decade Ahead has uncovered the vi- tally important observation that some clients prefer to do business with seller-doers rather than dedicated business development representatives. In other words, the seller- doer model, developed during the recession as a business survival tool, reflects what should be best practice for busi- ness development in thriving conditions. Scott Butcher, vice president and director of business de- velopment of JDB Engineering, Inc. with offices in Pennsyl- vania and Maryland, says the original seller-doer model – rainmakers – reflected the business norm for AEC profes- sional services before the 1970s marketing revolution, when professional practices were allowed to advertise and work with non-doer business developers for the first time. In the old days, principals/partners often were their most effective business developers. Rising stars with business de- velopment ability could quickly achieve prominence and suc- cess as they had the strategic ability to attract new business, while maintaining professional credentials. Most of these rainmakers seemed to have natural ability, though there were some guides, such as Ford Harding’s solid books on rainmak- ing, that sought to codify the business development processes. Construction businesses, meanwhile, either generally competed in “low bid wins the job” competitions or relied on existing networks and relationships to uncover new business, when concepts such as design-build, integrated project de- livery or public-private-partnerships were rarely if ever applied. When marketing and business development rules were re- laxed by professional associations in the 1970s and 1980s, firms sought out and began hiring non-technical business de- velopers or salespeople. Butcher says these sales representatives have personality traits often the opposite of the technical professionals. “Engineers are trained culturally to be 100 per cent correct in everything they do,” he said. (This is reasonable, of course, because you don’t want to be guessing about the reliability or safety in engineering specifications.) However, “with sales, there is no such thing as 100 per cent perfection. Every prospect is different. In sales, you are constantly experiencing objections. People say no.” In practice, this means that without guidance, when proj- ect managers enter the business development world, they may initially be enthusiastic, working on a proposal, develop- ing interviews, and seeking business. “But when you start ex- periencing rejection, it is very disheartening and demotivating,” Butcher says. The solution, says Butcher and SMPS president Paula Ryan, director of marketing for Jezerinac Geers & Associates, Inc., structural engineers in Columbus, OH, lies in the fact that in many cases the doers “don’t know how to build deliberate relationships or ask the right questions of clients – it’s a ques- tion of they don’t know what they don’t know.” The doers can then throw their hands up, say “that’s enough business development for me,” and retreat back to their technical or professional work,” Butcher says. “Many doers have little interest in selling. And even those who have an interest don’t necessarily have the right skillset or mind- set.” The solution, say Butcher and Ryan, is to provide training and support for technical professionals and project man- agers, while recognizing there will be some who will want to spend more of their time on business development than oth- ers. The ones with business development aptitude and ability should be encouraged to develop their skills and given greater responsibilities. Continued on page 14 Some key points about the seller-doer model Here are some key points and resources for practitioners interested in the seller-doer model: All hands on deck Virtually everyone in the organization, from the front office receptionist and mid-level project man- agers, to the CEO, has a role in business develop- ment. Providing exceptional client service and maintaining relationships with existing clients are es- sential to business development. Technical profes- sionals who don’t have the aptitude or interest in business development can still sharpen their soft skills. Asking questions about opportunities, and par- ticipating in client organizations are contributions anyone can make. Seniority equals business development (but juniors can get a head start) New research indicates that close to half of tech- nical professionals with the title of principal, owner, or partner have business development goals. One way junior staff can secure career advancement is by learning and taking an interest in business devel- opment. Traditional business developers need to develop pedagogical (teaching) and co-ordinating skills Business developers will spend more time coach- ing seller-doers in the art of client capture and main- tenance. They should focus on advancing their training skills and developing a solid understanding of the technical aspects of the industry, as well as their own credentials. The Canadian Design and Construction Report — September 2016 – 13 “There is always going to be a role for business develop- ers,” Ryan says. “New SMPS Foundation research clearly illustrates the partnership that needs to appear between business developers and technical professionals.” “Business developers will provide training and presen- tation coaching, help strategize meeting agendas, and de- velop one-on-one coaching on how to build client relationships,” she said. “They will also help with client tar- geting, participating in client led organizations, and be the ‘opener’ for their firms – meeting prospective clients and making the introductions to the technical representatives.” What the future holds Accordingly, just as seller-doers increasingly need to put business development in their work schedule, non-techni- cal sales professionals need to grasp the industry’s profes- sional and technical focus, trends and operations and know enough to bring the right technical person to initial devel- opment meetings. “The quality of the decisionmakers at the client end has increased,” Butcher said. “They in many cases are licensed architects or engineers, or they’ve come out of the con- struction side of the business with extensive practical knowledge and experience. As a result, they have much higher demands right from the first conversation.” In practice, this means most potential clients have little if any time to meet with a salesperson, who can’t grasp and suggest right away a solution to the actual technical and design challenges, according to client research captured in the SMPS Foundation’s book: A/E/C Business Development – The Decade Ahead. Butcher says AEC enterprises and professional practices appear to be taking these observations to heart. A recent SMPS/SMPS Foundation survey indicates that a solid ma- jority – 53 per cent – of firms believe they are going to be continuing with the hybrid business developer/seller-doer model in the next decade. However, an impressive minority (24 per cent) say they will exclusively use seller-doers, sug- gesting the vital overall importance of the seller-doer model, along with the right training. (The remaining 23 per cent are not sure.) Butcher says junior staff are often embracing the seller- doer model and can be valuable resources as they develop their professional careers. These traits were advocated a few decades ago by rainmaker gurus, but more often were initiated by the individual, rather than the organization. 14 – September 2016 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report Some practices are building business development person- ality trait evaluations into their initial selection and hiring processes, he says. Meanwhile, benchmark research included in the Sell. Do. Win Business report indicates that for technical profes- sions, job title typically influences business development goals. For example, 44 per cent of the staff with the title of principal, owner or partner have personal business devel- opment goals, as do 20 per cent of employees with the title of project executive or project manager. Having business development goals equates to having a firm budget that al- lows for allocated time to be spent bringing in work. There is one final piece of good news for practitioners interested in the seller-doer model. Selling most definitely doesn’t need to be the awful rejection laden ordeal that some might associate with business development. Ryan and Butcher agree that some of the best results often come from relationships built through voluntary par- ticipation in association involvement. Speaking engage- ments at conferences and events are helpful. And for those more introverted people who would rather write than talk, contributions to technical articles and publications will pro- vide valuable business development opportunities. Finally, of course, connecting and serving and working well with current clients will provide key leads and insights for business development opportunities. The seller-doer can then report the opportunities to the practices’ business development specialists and managers to be guided on the best approaches to take to pursue the opportunities with- out stress or painful rejection. “Softening the sales part of business development is going to bring in a larger group of people,” Butcher says. “The opportunities in educational based marketing are opening whole new worlds.” Mark Buckshon, president of the Construction News and Report Group of Companies, wrote a version of this article for The SMPS Marketer, the magazine of the Society for Marketing Professional Services, (SMPS), a U.S. based organization that represents and supports mar- keting and business development within the architectural, engineering and construction community.

By Richard Yasinski CFP I write this the morning after the Brexit vote – the refer- endum in which Brits voted to exit the European Economic Union. The late polls suggested they would vote “stay” and the equity markets were rising. Then the “leave” vote won and markets declined, at least temporarily. The media has been presenting this drama as a signifi- cant risk to the stock market and there is little doubt that markets swing daily on any new information. But at this point it’s hardly a major panic as declines go. I’m surprised the markets have not declined further. I just heard of an investor who went to cash, sold all her equity portfolio to wait out the vote. As the leave side won, to benefit from this strategy she must imme- diately reinvest all of her cash into the eq- uity market – but statistics and history suggests she will wait for “a more certain direction.” Just as those investors did who stayed in cash after the crash of 2008 and remained in cash as the S&P doubled over five years. I know many did this because I’ve met them – they are still in cash. But haven’t we seen this movie a dozen or more times before? The Russian ruble crisis of 1998, Y2K, the tech bubble, 9/11, the Gulf War, mortgage crisis, SARS, Ebola, fiscal cliff – etc. The 20-year average annual return of global markets ending in 2015, which covers all of these “end of world” events, is in the order of nine per cent. (you can look it up!) All through this time there was never certainty. Those investors who participated in the growth of equities during this time simply had to have faith the market would eventually grow. Based on historical probability, given the last 100 years of reliable data, we can expect the markets to continue with their volatility along a constantly rising trend line of let’s say around seven to nine per cent. So what is the real risk? There are a few and I will describe them in order of im- portance with the most important first. The greatest real risk is our own ability to make decisions about our spending and investments. Much has been writ- ten about behaviour finance which covers all aspects of how we make financial decisions. Humans are prone to making emotional decisions based on a small sampling of data – especially when it comes to something as important as money. Note the examples above. The only way to re- solve this is knowledge and if you cannot spend enough 16 – September 2016 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report time gaining the knowledge, or don’t have the stomach for the volatility, get the support of a good advisor. The second most significant risk is inflation and taxes. I grouped these because they impact our real return – the money we get to spend. Although we have experienced low inflation over the last decade, don’t underestimate the im- pact of even a two per cent rate of inflation and don’t as- sume it will stay that low. The 50-year average rate is three per cent so we need to consider the re- ality of rates of inflation higher than two per cent over the next decade if we are to average to three per cent over two to three decades. A three per cent rate of inflation means our cost of living dou- bles over a 25-year retirement. Consider how much you spend now to cover liv- ing costs and expect it to be twice that in 25 years. With government debt at all-time highs, we can assume taxes will play a bigger part in paying down that debt (or paying the rising interest) and tax plan- ning a bigger role in our financial plan- ning and security. Taxation and inflation mean we need growth in our portfolios beyond the low interest rates of fixed in- come investments. Lastly is our life span. My grandfa- ther lived to about age 73. My mother lived to age 91 and has remained relatively healthy other than the last year or so. Since I take very good care of my- self, and live in an age of greater prosperity and access to good food and care, I can expect to live longer – 95 or later. As I’m not retiring until age 70 I will still need to plan for a 25 to 30-year retirement. With inflation and rising healthcare costs, I will need to plan for growth in my portfolio. The only way to achieve that growth is a higher allocation to equities. So the real risks are not Brexit, ISIL, epidemics, govern- ment debt, or the latest media crisis of the day. The real risk is our own ability to allocate enough of our portfolio to growth investments, believing they will provide the return we need. The real risk is achieving enough growth over inflation and taxes. The real risk is outliving our money.

The Canadian Design and Construction Report — September 2016 – 17 NEWS BRIEFS BRITISH COLUMBIA Senior Ledcor executive resigns after judge dismisses defamation suit Dwight Brissette, former senior vice president for Ledcor, has resigned from his position less than a week after a B.C. Supreme Court ruling found he inappropriately touched a Cactus Club server and called her an inappropriate nickname. The Vancouver Province newspaper reports Brissette sued the popular restaurant chain’s Coal Harbour loca- tion, a manager and server Katrina Coley for allegedly making malicious and defamatory statements about him in front of other people. The defamation suit was dismissed in June. Justice Miriam Gropper said in her judgement she believed the restaurant employees’ version of events over that of Brissette, whose memory of the events that June 24, 2013 evening may have been impaired by the quantity of alcohol he had con- sumed Ledcor announced Brissette’s res- ignation on June 27. “In response to recent events, Led- cor’s senior executives and Dwight Brissette, (senior vice president of health and safety), met today to dis- cuss Ledcor’s employee code of con- duct and senior executive expectations,” the company said. “As a result, Mr. Brissette has ten- dered his resignation, which Ledcor has accepted. Ledcor thanks Mr. Bris- sette for his years of service and con- tribution to the company.” Brissette was among a party of about 10 people, including Ledcor ex- ecutives and clients, who arrived at the restaurant around 5:30 p.m. and sat at a patio table. “Coley testified that over the course of the evening the party ordered sev- eral rounds of drinks and appetizers,” The Province reported. “She said that at one point Brissette referred to her as “Kitty Kat” and that, as she was tak- ing the order of another patron, Bris- sette placed his arm on the side of her CONSTRUCTION ACROSS CANADA back, slid it down the side of her dress and rested it on the side of her but- tocks for about a second.” The waitress reported the incident to a supervisor, and then the party was asked by the manager to settle its tab and leave.

Farrell said the construction site could have better accommodated pedestrians by not closing off the en- tire sidewalk. There is “no effort to accommodate pedestrians,” she said. Sean Somers, spokesman with the city’s transportation department, said there was no other way to accommo- date pedestrians in this case, as crews are working on the building’s facade. However, he said the city has accom- modated more pedestrians by signifi- cantly reducing the number of pedestrian detours. Edmonton: Building permit decline shows scale of Alberta’s economic recession ALBERTA Graphic construction warning sign removed after Calgary city councillor objects Calgary Coun. Druh Farrell didn’t like what she saw when she observed a warning outside the Burns Building construction project in Olympic Plaza. The sign depicted a pedestrian striking a car’s windshield and read: Sidewalk closed. Use other sidewalk. Farrell said the sign and “the lack of foot access” shows disdain for pedes- trians, Metro News reported. However, Trevor Bryan, the con- struction manager at the site, said crews placed the sign because a pedestrian had been clipped by a car door mirror after not obeying the orig- inal sign, which read, “Sidewalk Closed.” “We put our own signs up this morning,” he said. “But the city said it was too graphic.” (DBD Con- struction says on its website it is work- ing on a $300,000 multi-level interior office tenant improvement project on the historic building.) The city said it ordered crews to re- move the sign due to its graphic con- tent and that it didn’t fall within guidelines, according to roads spokes- 18 – September 2016 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report Data from the City of Edmonton shows how severely construction has contracted in Alberta’s capital city. The city reported $213 million in total construction value for May 2016, a decline of 54 per cent from May 2015 and a 46 per cent decline from the five-year monthly average. The year-to-date figures are less daunting, showing a total construction value of $1,689 million, representing an eight per cent decline from 2015 but a five per cent increase on the year-to-date average. Contractors want to get started on Ft. McMurray reconstruction Charles Iggulden, president of the Fort McMurray Construction Associa- tion, said his group is mobilizing the 200 companies that make up its mem- bership, which together employ about 10,000 people, in a co-ordinated effort to get back to work, The Financial Post reports. He estimates the rebuild will take a year or two. “We are pushing to get some of the smaller projects going, and the cleanup,” he said. “The biggest thing is that as people start rebuilding their lives, they get back to work so they come back to Fort McMurray.” Iggulden said in the published re- port that Fort McMurray’s construction industry was working at half capacity because of the downturn. But it’s ready to step up immediately, and is pushing to get the work associated with the reconstruction. The associa- tion sent letters to the Alberta govern- ment seeking bridge financing to get construction going. The Financial Post also reports that Russell Dauk, vice president, land and commercial, at the Rohit Group of Companies, said the time is right to get started because companies such as his have access to people and equipment that have not been put to work in the past 15 months. SASKATCHEWAN Elevator building boom continues An elevator building boom on the Prairies shows no signs of slowing as new facilities continue to come online and existing ones are upgraded to ac- commodate faster unload times, more efficient rail car loading and longer grain trains, The Western Producer re- ports. In central Saskatchewan, Cargill and Richardson are expanding existing facilities at Davidson. Cargill officials were in the commu- nity in June to mark the completion of the upgrade, which included the addi- tion of four concrete storage bins, a 120 ft. scale with 85 tonne capacity, a 50,000 bushel per hour conveyor, a 160 ft. leg and an expanded 100 car rail spot. Richardson is also upgrading its Pi- oneer facility in Davidson, with addi- tional steel storage and an expanded rail car spot. Jeff Wildeman, Cargill’s regional manager for Saskatchewan, said the expansion will increase storage capac- ity by more than 10,000 tonnes to roughly 25,000. He said nearly 25 per cent of Cargill Canada’s annual investment takes place in Saskatchewan. The company has invested roughly $300 million in the province over the past five years with major construction or expansion projects in Clavet and Davidson. “It’s a great time for us to put more dollars out because the industry needs the work and we’re getting better pric- ing,” Wyatt is quoted as saying. Wyatt says the city looks set to save at least $8.65 million on three construction projects where bids came in lower than expected this sea- son, which should be invested now. ONTARIO OCOT achieves $7.4 million financial surplus in 2015: $6 million allocated for ‘long-term strategic initiatives’ MANITOBA Manitoba construction industry leader fears government delays, restraints causing “Perfect Storm” A Manitoba construction leader fears government delays and re- straints are directing his industry to- ward a “perfect storm.” An email obtained by the Winnipeg Sun, which is attributed to Manitoba Heavy Construction Association (MHCA) president Chris Lorenc, claims the city failed to tender enough con- struction work and uses a tendering process that is “so bureaucratic it en- sures failure.” This, combined with provincial and federal cuts, threatens to spark layoffs, lead workers to leave the province and/or have companies run out of work within the next six weeks, the newspaper reports the email as say- ing. “The City of Winnipeg’s budget award process has been nothing short of appalling; the change in the federal government and its infrastructure budget priorities are still unclear; and we have a new provincial government which, while in the throes of reviewing the fiscal situation it is in, has cut the highway program by $50 million – 10 per cent – and has apparently stalled further tenders pending review,” the email says. The Sun says Coun. Russ Wyatt (Transcona), who’s taken out radio ads to pressure council to approve more road work, said the statement is proof council must add to its list of projects for this construction season. If the Ontario College of Trades (OCOT) was a private business, share- holders would be happy with the in- come statement and balance sheet, based on documents in the organiza- tion’s 2015 annual report released in time for its annual general meeting on June 14. The “statement of financial posi- tion” reports that the OCOT at 2015 year end had net assets of $28,627,456, an increase of approxi- mately $7.4 million from the $19,613,440 in net assets at the end of 2014. The OCOT says it had 232,189 members in 2015, suggesting a sur- plus of about $31 per member. A note to the financial statements says “during the year, cash in the amount of $6,000,000 was internally restricted for purposes of long-term strategic initiatives.” The note doesn’t say what these initiatives will be but observes: “The reserve will be in- vested according to the College’s in- vestment policy.” Overall the OCOT had at year end $19,845,348 in cash – compared to $12,809,266 at the end of 2014. “As anticipated and in line with the budget, the College achieved an ex- cess of revenue over expenses,” OCOT spokesperson Tyler Charlebois said in a statement. “Part of the excess of revenue at year end relates to the fact that membership fees are recog- nized in the year to which they relate, advanced billings for next year’s fees are deferred and recognized into in- The Canadian Design and Construction Report — September 2016 – 19 NEWS BRIEFS come in the following year.” However, he indicated in a follow- up statement that the OCOT would have funds to hire additional inspec- tors as well as to develop training and curriculum programs. “Since the College only opened its doors in April 2013, just a few short years ago, we continue to develop and refine operational capacity,” he said. “Given our extensive mandate which includes, regulating and promoting all 156 skilled trades, modernizing the training standards and curriculum— some of which had not been updated in 20 years, ensuring compliance of the compulsory trades, and protecting the public interest, the College is build- ing a strong foundation to govern its members.” “Going forward, the College is ex- pected to move towards a more bal- anced budget.” “The Ontario College of Trades is committed to openness and trans- parency and that is why our budgets and financial statements are posted publicly on the website,” he said. Not surprisingly, the OCOT’s biggest expense is for salaries and benefits, which totaled $15,044,123 in 2015 (an increase from $14,095,023 in 2014). Sig- nificant sums were also spent on: Gen- eral and administration, $2,983,987; professional services, $602,872; trade governance and stakeholder meetings, $1,090,930; member communications, $1,690,745; and amortization of capital assets, $1,104,165. While there have been complaints about the OCOT’s enforcement prac- tices for the construction industry – part of which set off jurisdictional con- flicts between the Labourers’ Union and representatives of skilled certified trades – the 2015 enforcement data in- dicates that OCOT inspectors concen- trated their efforts in “motive power garages” – with 5,221 enforcement visits. However, there were 2,834 visits for ICI construction and 2,132 for resi- dential construction, representing a total of 4,966 visits, out of a total of 11,376. In 2016, regulatory and administra- tive oversight for enforcement of trade CONSTRUCTION ACROSS CANADA certification and scope of work rules was transferred to the Ministry of Labour from the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities, but the OCOT said this would not change the day-to-day processes. “Out of the total field visits, around 4,200 individuals were found to be unauthorized workers and 36 Part III prosecutions were made,” the OCOT said. “Nearly 1,500 calls were received from the public about potential uncer- tified workers under the Ontario Col- lege of Trades and Apprenticeship Act, 2009.” Greater Toronto Area: Province announces GO line extensions/station construction plans for east, west and northern GTA communities The provincial government has an- nounced plans to build new stations and extend the GO commuter rail serv- ice to communities east, west and north of Toronto, but the announce- ments – issued separately for each ex- tension – are vague on the costs and the exact construction implementation schedules. In the eastern Durham region, the government says GO Transit will ex- tend the Lakeshore East train line by 20 km. from Oshawa to Bowmanville, with service to start in 2024 at four new stations. The four stations will be built at Thornton Rd. and Ritson Rd. in Os- hawa, Courice Rd. in Courice and Mar- tin Rd. in Bowmanville. Transportation minister Steven Del Duca said in a June announcement that one of the biggest components of the expansion will be the construction of a new train bridge over Highway 20 – September 2016 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report 401 in Durham. Meanwhile, in a separate an- nouncement, politicians said there will be four new GO Train stations in Toronto’s west end, including St. Clair West and Liberty Village on the Kitch- ener line and Bloor St. and Lansdowne Ave., and Spadina Ave. and Front St. on the Barrie line. And in a separate announcement, the government announced it would extend GO service to Grimsby by 2021 and Niagara Falls by 2023, with up- grades as well to the St. Catharines and Niagara Falls Via Rail stations. Along with Ontario transportation minister Steven Del Duca and Ward 19 city councillor Mike Layton, Toronto mayor John Tory said the Liberty Vil- lage and St. Clair West GO stations will also run the new Smart Track electri- fied system once the transit plan is im- plemented. “With all day, two-way service, sta- tions here at Liberty Village and St. Clair West and Mount Dennis and Bloor (SmartTrack) will provide local service to the people of Toronto’s west end neighbourhoods,” the mayor said. In another announcement, the provincial government said it would build three new GO Train stations along the Barrie GO Transit line as part of Metrolinx’s GO Regional Express Rail (RER) program - one each in the areas of Kirby Rd. in Vaughan, Mulock in the Town of Newmarket and Innisfil in Simcoe County. GO Regional Express Rail is one way Ontario is providing faster, more frequent and more convenient transit service across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area, and includes electrify- ing core segments of the network by 2024. Along the Barrie line, this service will provide travelers with access to all day, two-way, 15-minute electrified service between Aurora and Union Station, including evenings and week- ends, weekday rush 30-minute service between Allandale Waterfront and Union Station and 60-minute service midday, the news release said. There will be 180 trains per day with 15- minute service. The provincial news release says the program, which is being delivered over 10 years, will also help manage congestion, connect people to jobs and decrease greenhouse gas emis- sions by reducing car trips and improv- ing travel times. Del Duca said in third announce- ment that the western service exten- sion will include a new layover facility in Niagara Falls, more passenger trains and 30 km. of new tracks. There will also be a new Confederation GO sta- tion in east-end Hamilton in 2021. Ottawa: NCC approves renovation design for Government Conference Centre The National Capital Commission (NCC) has approved the “new look” for the Government Conference Centre which will temporarily house the Sen- ate once renovations are complete in two years. The renovation and Senate move have a $269 million budget. The Sen- ate will move to the building in 2018, as Parliament Hill’s Center Block com- mences a decade-long renovation. PCL Constructors Canada Ltd. has the construction management con- tract for the project, designed by ERA Architects. “You’ll finally be able to appreciate the building in all its glory,” Thierry Montpetit, project manager with Pub- lic Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC), said in an interview reported by CBC. “We’re going to remove, what I’m going to say (were) unfortunate alter- ations to the building that were done in the late seventies.” Montpetit told CBC the goal is to fix accessibility problems and meet the current building code, while bringing the building’s heritage features to the fore. These include the great waiting room, designed as a smaller scaled replica of New York City’s Pennsylva- nia Station demolished in the 1960s. There are also functional improve- ments including new freight and pas- senger elevators, a loading dock, and rooftop areas for mechanical systems. The major project’s major impact is on the building’s eastern side facing the Rideau River, Montpetit said. The current blank wall is that way because in the earliest days there was a hotel adjacent to what had been Ottawa’s main train station in the former Corry Block. With the renovations, a lot of thought was given to how that east façade could turn the building into a gateway to Parliament, to join “the town and the Crown,” Montpetit said in the interview. “I think that will be our biggest gift, to really give prominence to that inter- section,” he said. “And, giving some stature back to that building, which was very prominent historically and has been a bit forgotten and lost since the 1960s and ‘70s.” QUEBEC Tall wood building momentum reaches Québec The NEB consortium (consisting of Nordic Structures, EBC Construction and Synchro Immobilier) have broken ground in Québec City on the Origine project, a 13-storey building of which 12-storeys are mass timber and one is concrete. A news release says it will be the tallest wood building condo in North America. When completed, the 92-unit con- dominium complex will join the ranks of the world’s tallest wood buildings and serve as a Canadian example of the research and technology that is in- volved in taking wood construction to new heights. “Advances in science and building technology, supported by renowned research organizations such as FPIn- novations and the National Research Council, are resulting in innovative wood solutions, such as the Origine project, that are safe, sound, and sus- tainable,” Etienne Lalonde, vice presi- dent Market Development for the Canadian Wood Council (CWC) said in a news release. “Tall wood buildings are no longer a new concept, with examples of 10 and 14-storey structures recently being constructed in Australia and Norway respectively. Ultimately, it is about cre- ating more options for builders and ar- chitects in Canada and having the science and research in place to sup- port the tall wood option.” The Origine project was selected as part of an Expression of Interest (EOI) that was launched by the CWC in April 2013, for Canadian developers, institu- tions, organizations and design teams willing to undertake an innovative ap- proach to designing and building high- rise demonstration projects. With funding support from Natural Re- sources Canada of $1.175 million, the goal of this initiative was to link new scientific advances and research with technical expertise to showcase the application, practicality and sustain- ability of innovative wood based struc- tural building solutions. “By supporting innovation and the use of new techniques in the construc- tion of wood based high-rise buildings, we are supporting the growth of a strong and competitive forestry indus- try,” said Jim Carr, Canada’s minister of natural resources. “These investments in research and development lead to cleaner, more sustainable construction practices, all while promoting the cre- ation of employment opportunities in the forestry sector. Innovative, entre- preneurial ideas like these are integral to our fight against climate change.” The Canadian Design and Construction Report — September 2016 – 21 NEWS BRIEFS Advanced construction technolo- gies and modern mass timber prod- ucts are making building tall with wood a viable option that is gaining traction and appeal from design and construction communities who face growing pressures to reduce the car- bon footprint of buildings. Wood prod- uct based construction remains a great solution to these challenges as it is a renewable building material, origi- nating from sustainably managed forests in Canada. Poor economy drags Quebec construction workers’ vacation pay A poor economy is dragging the construction industry down with it and is being blamed for another decline in the annual vacation pay for construc- tion workers, says the Commission de la construction du Québec, the Mon- treal Gazette has reported. The CCQ (Commission de la con- struction de Quebec) reported that va- cation pay is down three per cent compared to figures for last year, mak- ing it the third annual decline. Approximately 147,000 vacation pay cheques have been issued for a total of approximately $364 million. The two-week construction holiday this year runs from July 24 to Aug. 6. NEW BRUNSWICK Construction has started on Irving Oil Ltd.’s new 11-storey headquarters in uptown Saint John The start came a little over a month after Saint John Council pushed through the changes to the city’s Her- itage Development bylaw, CBC re- ports. Irving Oil president Ian Whitcomb said in a news release that the new home office project was an invest- ment in the community and people. “As our company continues to grow in a very competitive industry, it be- comes more and more important for our people to be able to work together in a modern and collaborative work en- vironment.” CONSTRUCTION ACROSS CANADA The changes came after neighbour- ing property owner Jim Bezanson ap- pealed the company’s plans to the province’s assessment and planning appeal board in early April. The Saint John heritage architect and contractor took issue with the building’s height and its positioning, which didn’t comply with the city’s heritage conservation area bylaws. Despite it being too tall and too far back from the sidewalk, the city’s Her- itage Development Board approved the plans for the company’s headquar- ters. The exemption was given, in part, because the board felt the plans fit the King’s Square location where it would be built. Following the launch of the appeal, Saint John city council fast tracked the change to the bylaw after city resi- dents and businesses rallied to sup- port the Irving project. After a three-week process, council passed the changes on May 2. The new building will bring 1,000 employees under one roof. Toronto based B + H Architects and landscape architect Alex Novell designed the project. Irving Oil would not disclose its costs, and none of the published material outlines if the com- pany has selected a general contractor or is building it with its own resources. Irving executive vice president Sarah Irving said the support from the community “has meant a lot to every- one at our company.” Federal government allocates $38 million for Base Gagetown training centre construction 22 – September 2016 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report Defence minister Harjit Sajjan has announced $38 million in federal fund- ing to establish a training facility for dealing with improvised explosive de- vices, as well as other upgrades on the military base. A National Defence press release says the bulk of the funding, up to $36 million, will go to Dartmouth, Nova Scotia based contractor Maxim Con- struction to build the facilities. Another $2.3 million is being set aside to improve infrastructure at the base. That money will be used to re- pair roads throughout the base that are washed out, and to upgrade the base’s airfield and its facilities. “The major construction work that is soon to begin will create new jobs for residents, and will create growth opportunities for businesses through- out the Atlantic region,” said Sajjan. The minister said that all work should be completed by November, 2017. NOVA SCOTIA Class action lawyers initiate legal action about Halifax Nova Centre construction Several downtown business own- ers—one of whom also happens to be running for mayor—are taking legal ac- tion over disruptions caused by the Nova Centre’s construction, The Coast reports. The Carleton, Attica and the Wooden Monkey are “negotiating pro- ceedings” against the municipal, provincial and federal governments in an effort to recover financial losses they say were incurred from the hotel and convention centre’s four years of construction. “They were supposed to be done in September 2015,” says Wooden Mon- key co-owner Christine Bower. “It’s re- ally changed, the timeline, and people don’t know what it takes to stay open, and pay your bills and keep your staff employed.” Halifax’s Wagners law firm is repre- senting the businesses in their notice, which also names the Halifax Conven- tion Centre Corporation, Argyle Devel- opments and Argyle’s parent company, Rank Inc. as defendants. “After years of unfruitful communi- cations with the Nova Centre stake- holders to make them aware of the negative impact, some frustrated busi- nesses have now decided to take legal action,” says a press release from Wagners. There isn’t a precise compensation amount the group is looking for, says Wagner’s Erin Gillis in an email, “but it’s likely in the range of hundreds of thousands of dollars per business.” Halifax Regional Municipality says its legal team had reviewed the docu- mentation it received from Wagners Law Firm, and concluded they “do not believe a claim of injurious affection under the Expropriation Act applies to the municipality in this instance,” spokesperson Tiffany Chase wrote in an email to reporters. The email outlines the legal team’s interpretation of the act, saying injuri- ous affection only applies if “the gov- ernment expropriates the land,” or if “the government is undertaking the construction activity.” “Neither scenario applies in this case, therefore we see no basis for a claim of injurious affection against the municipality,” Chase wrote. However, lawyer Ray Wagner says he believes all three levels of govern- ment are responsible for making sure that the development doesn’t have a negative effect on business in the downtown core because they’re all in- vesting in the project. PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND $65 million Cornwall Bypass gets go-ahead Premier Wade MacLauchlan has an- nounced that his government has made a formal application to the fed- eral government’s Build Canada Fund to begin the $65 million Cornwall by- pass project this summer, The Guardian reports. The proposed new highway, com- ing from New Haven, would cut across the Baltic Rd. and Bannockburn Rd. to Clyde River Rd., across Cornwall Rd., rejoining the Trans-Canada Highway through a roundabout at the intersec- tion of Warren Grove Rd. The province says the new highway will be three minutes shorter than the current route through Cornwall. The cost will be shared 50-50 by the P.E.I. and federal governments. The premier said the province’s $32.5 million share will come out of next year’s capital budget. “It would be (spread) over three years and it would come out of our capital budgets,’’ MacLauchlan told The Guardian following the news con- ference. “We’ll be bringing forward a new capital budget in the fall.’’ NUNAVUT $10 million Cape Dorset project wins boost with $4.5 million funding from Canada’s Heritage Department A campaign to build a new $10 mil- lion art centre and print shop in Cape Dorset, Nunavut, has received an ad- ditional $4.5 million funding boost from Canada’s heritage department, CBC has reported. Construction on the proposed Kenojuak Cultural Centre and Print Shop is scheduled to begin in the fall. The facility will include permanent and temporary exhibition galleries and space for Cape Dorset print artists. The federal government had previ- ously pledged $2 million in funding from Infrastructure Canada. An addi- tional $3 million is to be privately funded. NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR Contractor wins $6.9 million St. John’s school construction project after long debate YUKON Magna Contracting and Manage- ment Inc. has been awarded a $6.9 million contract to build a new Virginia Park School in St. John’s. The 40-year-old school in the city’s east end has been the subject of a long debate, as parents in the area have lobbied for years for a replace- ment to the building. The reconstruction faced several delays, including one which may have been caused by the fact that the site was used as a dumping ground by the American military, CBC reported. Construction crews found an old airplane fuselage on the site. The land has been remediated. The school has 2017 move in date. Feds to flow $52.3 million in infrastructure funding The federal government has un- veiled an agreement with the Yukon government that will allow almost $52.3 million in infrastructure money to flow to 22 projects in the Yukon this year and next. The deal will cover $890,000 for transit work in Whitehorse and green infrastructure work on water and wastewater systems, including a $5.25 million water project in the vil- lage of Mayo, Canadian Press reports. Only two of the 22 projects will have shovels in the ground this year, with the remainder beginning in 2017, said Currie Dixon, Yukon’s minister of community services. The territory will spend money this year on engineering and design work, he said. The Canadian Design and Construction Report — September 2016 – 23 TOP 40 COMMUNITIES: WELLAND, ONTARIO Where rails and water meet . . . Welland thrives with industrial development and expanding housing, recreational and community opportunities Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature Located in the center of Niagara in southern Ontario, Welland has traditionally been known as the “place where rails and water meet,” referring to railways to the U.S. and other parts of Ontario and to the Welland Canal and River. Mayor Frank Campion says the city has begun a dynamic renaissance which is seeing renewed interest and growth in both the residential and employment sectors. “Our city’s competitive advantages are numerous and fi- nancially advantageous to those looking to invest and/or re- side,” he says. “We are proud of our many physical, cultural, educational, historical and human assets. Our bal- anced approach to responsible growth and maintenance of pleasurable lifestyle make Welland the place to be in 2016 and beyond.” 24 – September 2016 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report Campion says GE (General Electric) Canada’s recent an- nouncement that it is constructing a new 450,000 sq. ft. plant in Welland, creating 150 jobs, has put the city on the global investment map. He says the city will take advantage of this growth and the availability of serviced industrial lands, combined with its Economic Gateway Zone incentive, to attract GE supply chain companies, as well as to provide partnership and ex- pansion opportunities for local companies. “This benefits our local economy, provides job opportu- nities and assists in partnerships with Niagara College for training and product development with the private sector. Spin-off opportunities from this will substantially boost our local economy.” The city has an aggressive economic development team with cross-platform personnel, ensuring rapid and accurate information dissemination, including planning and zoning, infrastructure and engineering information, from a single contact point. Campion says the city’s proactive building department also works with industry and developers to ensure fast turn- around on permits. “Welland has ample affordable, serv- iced, shovel ready industrial and residential properties available and we are leading the way in providing a pleas- urable, dynamic lifestyle while successfully improving our local economy and employment.” The city also offers the Niagara Gateway Economic Zone Incentive Program – a financial incentive based on the size of an industrial development/increase in assessed value of the property, number of employees and green initiative components. The program provides waiving of fees/devel- opment charges and an incremental tax break of up to 100 per cent on the increase in assessed value. The actual amounts are based on a scoring matrix. He says implementation of Welland’s CIP (community improvement plans and financial incentives) programs have generated $1,152,188 in private sector investment down- town, which has successfully improved the area, providing more business opportunity and an improved community centre. “Our successful Gateway Incentives resulted in in- creased employment opportunities.” Welland is also within the newly federally designated Foreign Free Trade Zone. This incentive program provides trade incentives to businesses involved in international trade. Other local projects include new Provincial Offences Act Courts and the Royal Rose Place Long Term Care Facility which is nearing completion. The city’s Waterfront Devel- opment Project and the Niagara St. reconstruction/infra- structure projects are also in the works. Campion says these projects and Welland’s ongoing growth have made the city a significant regional centre. “Part of our strategic plan focus is development of the recreational canal waterfront currently still in planning,” he said. “It is expected that the plan will result in a waterfront component to the downtown core among other things. The first phase of waterfront improvement was the decorative lighting of the East Main Street Bridge.” Other strategic plan components focus on sewer sepa- ration and improved hard services infrastructure. Campion says there will be less sewer infiltration, thereby reducing ratepayer costs. Welland is also revamping its communications and pub- lic engagement processes through a new, interactive web- site expected to launch in the fall. “Corporate communications has been improved and a 21 X 11 ft. LED screen is being installed in our downtown civic square… creating a miniature version of Yonge/Dundas Square.” In other areas, he says the city’s building division issued 27.7 per cent more new housing permits last year over the previous five-year average, in part because of four new sub- divisions that either have or will be starting construction in 2016. Also within the city is Niagara College, a premier post- secondary educational facility, which draws residents, stu- dents, as well as business. “The college’s ability to design programs around business needs, their Innovation Centres and the recent addition of the Advanced Manufacturing Pro- gram are very attractive to business.” Campion says residents also enjoy vibrant recreational and leisure opportunities. “Welland’s 7 km recreational wa- terway, which dissects the city, provides a venue for inter- national flatwater events such as the Pan Am Games, and also enables residents to use the waterway for kayak, canoe and other water related activities. This is enhanced by our Merritt Island which provides a natural area for walk- ing, hiking, biking, picnicking and so on.” Sports facilities include a baseball stadium and the 2,250-seat Welland Arena. The Welland Community Well- ness Complex (WCWC) is a central facility providing a vari- ety of programs for all ages, including a therapeutic pool. Welland is also part of the Greater Niagara Circle Route, which enables visitors with cars and bicycles to experience the Welland Canal from one end of the peninsula to the other. “Our central location in the region makes travel throughout the area simple and quick so those living and working in the region can enjoy convenient access. Our proximity to international border crossings is good for trav- ellers and businesses involved in import/export.” Campion says Welland has a variety of interesting neigh- bourhoods. “Diverse neighbourhoods enhanced by beauti- ful and functional parkland with 7 km of waterfront running though the centre of the city make Welland a unique com- bination of eclectic urban life.” For more information, visit http://welland.ca. WELLAND/NIAGARA GATEWAY ECONOMIC ZONE & CENTRE COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CIP) The Gateway CIP provides financial incentives to property owners who revitalize, strengthen and diversify the economy in Welland by promoting private sector investment, development, redevelopment and construction activity on employment lands in the Gateway CIP Project Area which includes all employment lands (both strategic and non-strategic locations for investment) within the urban area of the City.

Chris Lyons, a 38-year-old senior construction manager, has taken on increasingly challenging re- sponsibilities, including association leadership as chair of the Vancouver Island Construction Associa- tion’s (VICA) U40 (under 40) group. Lyons studied engineering in university and then pro- gressed through the roles of project co-ordinator, then proj- ect manager. Three years ago he started with Omicron, attracted by the company’s development, design and con- struction diversity, and moved into the role of senior con- struction manager. “It used to be that people worked into project manage- ment through the trades,” he says. “Now though the training is available to allow people to transition sooner and with large portions of senior management retiring, there are many people my age stepping into these roles.” He says this has created challenges for both generations as older superintendents realize the old ways of working and dealing with people may no longer be appropriate. Younger generations, he says, must also adapt their thinking as well in accepting that some things won’t change as quickly. Lyons says it is important for young people in the field to learn as much as they can from the projects that challenge them the most. For him, that was Poet’s Cove Resort & Spa on Pender Island. This complex island build included a hotel, marina, cottage properties and a lot of earth work. It also came at a time when work was booming on the mainland and getting people to work on an island for a week at a time, a challenge. Today, Lyons is running the company’s Eagle Creek Vil- lage project, an equally complex multi-use development combining retail, professional and medical services and res- idential rental and condominium units. Taking all that he has learned and all that he is still learn- ing, he says his next logical step will be to become a project director. “This would involve managing the design, the owner and the construction of a project using all of my experience to work the various aspects and to bring everything to- gether.” In the meantime, Lyons is helping develop and grow VICA’s U40 group. He says there had been a similar group operating out of Vancouver for a while and when the idea to start one in Victoria was introduced, he got involved. Today the group includes a mailing list of about 150. “We started the group primarily as a way for younger members to network, to have a voice, and to give back.” He says it can be intimidating to speak out at gen- eral events, especially when you are surrounded by others with decades of experience, including your own supervisors and employers. The U40 group, he says, provides a more comfortable environment for socializing and for addressing the occasional concerns. “We have members who sit on the board and good ties to the board so we have an opportunity to bring those things for- ward.” The group holds regular get togethers, with and without speakers. There are casino fundraisers and community ini- tiatives. As part of VICA’s 100 th anniversary, the group part- nered with Esquimalt, who was also celebrating its 100 th anniversary, to complete a $100,000 renovation, through do- nated time and materials, to Gorge Waterway Nature House in Esquimalt Gorge Park. Recently as well, the group partnered with HeroWork and sent 40 volunteers and their families on a weekend project to complete a dock renovation for Camp Pringle, a United Church kids’ camp. His advice to young people entering the field is to “come in with an open mind; find a mentor you can learn from whether they are five years ahead of you, or ten or twenty because they have experience you can learn from; and make sure you enjoy what you do.” WE SHARE OUR EXPERIENCE. WE DELIVER DYNAMIC SOLUTIONS. WE BUILD STRONG RELATIONSHIPS. UBC Bookstore Architect: McFarlane Biggar Architects & Designers Photographer: Ema Peter SYNCRACONSTRUCTION.COM The Canadian Design and Construction Report — September 2016 – 27 PRECAST North American Precast Concrete Associations enhance industry related education, marketing and regulatory support resources Students from SAIT Polytechnic touring Lafarge’s precast concrete plant in Calgary, Alberta during National Precast Day 2016. PHOTO: CPCI. Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature The National Precast Concrete Association (NPCA) and the Canadian Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute (CPCI), two of three North American groups representing the pre- cast and prestressed concrete industry, continue their ef- forts to inform and educate, prepare members for new demands, and to address labour shortages. NPCA president Ty Gable says the industry has re- bounded well from the recession that began in 2008, with a strong year in 2015, a good year so far for 2016, and ex- pectations for even greater improvement in 2017. While this is all good news, he says it also creates challenges. “As work ramps up it becomes difficult to find good people, be- cause there is more competition for the sharp, young peo- ple looking for future careers.” Gable says the NPCA’s Precast University provides an an- swer. Here, courses offer students a career path within the industry, beginning on the production floor and running right through to upper management. Starting with basic concrete technology, they are designed to teach students to become experts at production. In the end, graduates receive certifi- cation as a master precaster. “We just graduated our largest class of master precasters which tells me this program is attractive as a career path,” Gable said. “We have a lot of closely held, family owned companies. It is important to continue to develop the next generation so these business can continue to thrive under the direction of qualified people.” Precast University is also currently developing new lead- ership training programs. Together, these offerings will en- sure people learn from the ground up and become proficient in all aspects of the business. CPCI has a mission to expand the knowledge of students by disseminating ideas and information about the design, applications, manufacturing and use of precast concrete. 28 – September 2016 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report Ariane Sabourin, CPCI’s marketing manager, says CPCI is of- fering an annual scholarship program for students in Civil Engineering and Civil Technology to support continuous learning and education within the industry. “We are also ex- cited to announce a new scholarship available for Archi- tecture and Architectural Technology Students this year.” Sabourin says CPCI and its members also host National Precast Day. CPCI’s National Precast Day is an open plant tour of various precast concrete manufacturing facilities in Canada. The open houses effectively demonstrate how pre- cast is manufactured under rigorous quality controls and shows the many sustainable benefits of building with pre- cast concrete. In the past 17 years, National Precast Day has hosted more than 40,000 participants. “We are in discus- sions with PCI and NPCA to expand National Precast Day to the United States and look forward to working with our part- ners to grow this important event.” Gable says the NPCA also is working with members to meet the new stringent requirements for crane operators issued by the United States Department of Labor Occupa- tional Safety & Health Administration to take effect in November 2017. “We’re providing both training and con- ducting certification exams to ensure our members can meet the deadline.” In 2016, the North American Precast Concrete associa- tions worked together with ASTM International and the Athena Sustainable Materials Institute to release third-party verified EPDs (Environmental Product Declarations) in three key precast concrete product categories. The EPDs provide comprehensive, uniform, and transparent details about a product’s composition and environmental impact through- out its lifecycle. EPDs are now available for each of the three main categories: Architectural and insulated wall panels, structural precast concrete products, and underground pre- cast concrete products. Brian Hall, CPCI’s managing director, says that the EPDs will allow architects, engineers, building owners, and other specifiers to better understand the environmental impacts of precast and prestressed concrete products. “In order to educate our audiences on the benefits of EPDs, how they can be used and how they can help earn points in LEED V4, NPCA, PCI and CPCI are also offering webinars for archi- tects, engineers and construction professionals.” Gable says helping members prepare and educate themselves also includes providing the latest available in- formation, including white papers and other materials on topics ranging from new technologies to the latest in fiber research through the association’s website because “knowledge is power.” “We’re excited about the state of the economy and the improvements we see coming. We are prepared for and well equipped to help our members meet the challenges this will involve,” says Gable. NPCA training at The Precast Show 2016 in Nashville this year included a course on marketing (left), an update on OSHA crane operator certification (center) and leadership training for Master Precaster candidates (right). NPCA and CPCI are collaborating with other industry specific associations and partnering with PCI (Precast/ Pre- stressed Concrete Institute) and American Concrete Pipe Association to unify messages around quality and market- ing. “CPCI, NPCA and PCI are the leading technical re- sources (Body of Knowledge (BOK)) for the precast con- crete industry in North America. From this BOK, building codes, design guides, educational programs, certification, sustainability programs, and new research ideas are de- rived,” says Hall.

National business development manager Brian Salazar says the company works with its clients to provide a wide range of products and services to meet changing technolo- gies and increasing demands of the diverse industry. “Self-consolidating concrete is a growing demand in many markets,” he says. “We use viscosity modifiers like Visctrol and Plastol 6400 to make concrete flowable and cohesive to allow it to flow into small or heavily reinforced areas to meet the demands of challenging projects.” He notes this is just one of the workability characteristics users have demanded. Euclid also works with customers to create concrete products that will set up and flow faster. Euclid has met another growing industry demand with its unique form liners, Salazar says. These decorative con- crete forms can mimic stone or brick work and use patented keystone features to break up form lines for a more natural look. They can be used on everything from bridge work to walls. “We have other unique products including shrinkage re- ducing admixtures and shrinkage compensating admix- tures that reduce cracking, particularly in flatwork.” He says the company is also working to respond to an- other industry demand – the need for Environmental Prod- uct Declarations (EPDs). “EPDs and HPDs (Health Product Declarations) for our admixtures will be another growing demand as the requirement for sustainability in projects grows. We already have a good sustainability program in place, including waste and water, and are committed to meeting this new demand.” Euclid is a member of several industry associations in- cluding the Canadian Precast Prestressed Concrete Asso- ciation (CPCI), the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA), The American Concrete Institute (ACI) and the National Precast Concrete Association (NPCA).

Matt Balfe, precast concrete national sales and market- ing director, says the company started with a drainage focus founded as Canada Ingot Iron and then changed its name to Armco Drainage & Metal Products in 1931. “There were a series of name and organizational changes after that, including the change to Armco Drainage & Metal Prod- ucts to Armtec in the late 90s, but the company remained in steel and plastic with drainage as its core business.” In 2004, Armtec became a publicly traded company through an IPO (initial public offering) and by 2007 the com- pany began making what would be a total of nine acquisi- tions of precast concrete businesses stretching from B.C. to Quebec. “Precast is complimentary to drainage in many ways. Each of the companies we acquired and brought under the Armtec umbrella had different core strengths and different scopes of work and experience.” In 2015 the company returned to being a private com- pany, now owned by Brookfield Asset Management. Balfe says the marriage of the companies Armtec ac- quired included the retention of key client facing staff, many of who today still remain from the legacy companies. “We’re still growing, investing in equipment and talent, but many of those key people remain, or have just recently re- tired.” Today the company offers precast solutions in three main segments: Infrastructure (including bridges, light rail transit and marine structures); building construction (includ- ing landscape products, electrical vaults, parking garages, hollowcore and wall panels) and natural resources and en- ergy (including trenches, utilidors and custom solutions). “We have worked on projects ranging from parking structures to long-term care facilities to providing custom solutions for the natural resources and energy sectors. We work with owners, engineers, architects and contractors to ensure their project’s needs are met.” Some of those needs include building code require- ments. Balfe says precast lends itself well to the National Energy Code of Canada for Buildings for its resilience, sus- tainability and its inherent thermal properties. “We also work closely with our external vendors to ensure we are able to supply non-conductive ties and connectors to fur- ther improve the thermal properties of our building enve- lope solutions.” Precast is also durable and adaptable, meeting other specific needs, and the growing requirements for sustain- ability. Armtec is a member of the Precast/Prestressed Con- crete Institute (PCI), the Canadian Precast/ Prestressed The Canadian Design and Construction Report — September 2016 – 31 PRECAST Concrete Institute (CPCI) and the National Precast Concrete Association (NPCA). “We are part of CPCI’s Sustainable Plant Program which assists us in monitoring every step of our operation to meet the high standards for sustainabil- ity.” Balfe says Armtec is always looking for ways to im- prove its carbon footprint, including seeking aggregate sources close to plants, recycling water where possible, and planning for efficient shipping methods to reduce the numbers of trucks on the road. The company also operates with a high focus on safety. “Precast concrete manufacturing and installation comes with high safety risks which we work to control and miti- gate. We want our customers to know that the precast products they use come from a safety culture as strong as what they apply to their own business.” Armtec’s drainage and precast arms operate as sepa- rate business units within the company he says, but the op- portunity for crossover on projects, and for collaboration, provides customers with robust package offerings tailored to provide them with the best combined solution. “We can be a one stop shop for clients on an array of products, for instance, a bridge from our precast business combined with stormwater solutions from our drainage unit and a noise barrier from our soundwall group.” He says the landscape of client demands and needs is always changing. To meet this challenge, all of the com- Precast Concrete Solutions pany’s engineered precast facilities have dedicated project managers, engineers, estimators and installation teams to ensure each project’s success. Engineered precast is just one piece of Armtec’s pre- cast business. The company also operates standard pre- cast and soundwall businesses. “Our Durisol and ACRYLITE noise barriers from our soundwalls group are a unique solution for absorptive, reflective, and transparent noise attenuation projects across North America.” For more information on Armtec’s products and services, visit https://www.armtec.com.

Filled with a variety of educational and net- working opportunities, this year’s biannual event is being held in connection with the National Ready Mixed Con- crete Association (NRMCA)’s annual ConcreteWorks event. 34 – September 2016 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report ACPA executive director Christi Collins says the ACPA specific components of the conference will be tailored di- rectly to the needs of concrete pumpers and their busi- nesses. Topics will include major issues impacting the industry such as workforce development (how to find and retain staff), fleet management and achieving operational efficiencies. “We also have a program called Driving Sales with a Purpose which will look at proactive planning for growing a business and strategies for success.” One of the event’s key feature sessions is called The Perfect Pour. Here, Collins says, Mike Schneider, chief peo- ple officer and senior vice-president with Baker Concrete Construction, Inc. will address the interaction of concrete, ready mix and pumpers and how the three can coordinate efforts to be safer, more productive, and more profitable. Another feature component will include a financial benchmark survey looking at debt loads, expenses and staffing. “We actually started this in 2012 when the indus- try began digging out of the recession. The intent is to help owners really take a look at how their businesses are op- erating now to ensure they are more secure and profitable for the future.” Collins says one of the biggest challenges members face is struggling to fully understand federal hours of serv- ice requirements. Another session is planned to help Bringing Concrete Sense To Your Concrete Business. 57S-6RZ This lightweight design (under 93,000 lbs) can be mounted on a 5 axle chassis, creating lower operation costs.

There will also be some crossover in sessions on common topics of interest. “Our kickoff speaker is a political analyst so he’ll be of interest to us all. Our members will also hear from NRMCA about the inroads the wood industry has been making, what NRMCA is doing to address this challenge and how we can help.” Collins says safety is also a huge focus for members of both associations and the opportunity to partner with providers, to get one on one information from equipment manufactures who will be on hand, is invaluable to every- one involved. APCA has members representing Canada and Mexico and Collins says both issues and educational topics will be of interest to members, wherever they work.

Korean Concrete Pump manufacturer changing the industry by providing high quality concrete pumps in North America Established in 1992, DY Concrete Pumps has earned a reputation for quality and competitive pricing with its Ko- rean manufactured pumps. The company’s presence has grown to include Cairo, Georgia and Calgary. Upon reviewing the company’s website, refined man- ufacturing is behind the quality of DY products. Built on a rolling assembly line that streamlines efficiency, the result is described as a “consistent, quality product that doesn’t change with each production” simplifying fleet manage- ment. Common parts that are interchangeable between models also reduces the number of parts end-users will stock to maintain a fleet. President Joe Delehay says the company’s “extremely efficient manufacturing quality control process provides longer lasting equipment” for its clients. “Our equipment offers a lower cost of ownership through great value for our clients but allows them to gen- erate the same revenues as equipment from higher priced competitors.” DY, he says, also offers superior service and technical support. DY has strategically located two facilities, one located in Southern Georgia and the other in Calgary, Alberta. “Each facility is mounting pumps but more importantly, both facilities stock large inventories of spare parts to en- sure prompt (overnight if necessary) deliveries throughout North America.” Delehay says: “Throughout my 35 years of end user ex- perience, I was continually disappointed with late deliver- ies and lack of parts support from this industry, and by using my experience, my team has a better understanding of what expectations are after purchasing a DY pump. We utilize our experience to provide unsurpassed customer satisfaction.” Offering products that are suitable for everything from large commercial, institution and infrastructure to residen- tial home builders, DY offers three distinct product com- ponent advantages that other manufacturers do not, including a continuous swing (360 degree) boom pedestal. DY also offers light weight fuel efficient models such as the 57 meter which is the lightest on the market (91,000lbs) and which allows the pump to be mounted on a five axle chassis where others require six-axle. This in- stantly saves the customer money. “Our 57 meter is also a six-section boom. This allows the pump contractor to reach elevator core formwork two- storeys higher than a five-section boom, providing cus- tomers with more revenue opportunities.” Delehay says DY will also be coming out with a 38 meter five-section boom and a 40-meter boom mounted on a three-axle truck in 2017. DY will once again be dis- playing and showcased all of its models at the 2017 World of Concrete tradeshow in Las Vegas next February. DY is a member of the CPMA (Concrete Pump Manu- facturers Association), complying with manufacturers’ safety standards, set above industry standards, and dedi- cated to the safe manufacturing and operation of concrete pumps in North America. DY is also a supporting member of the” American Con- crete Pump Association.” The ACPA is an association ded- icated to serving members in the concrete pumping industry with the objectives to promote concrete pumping and to educate the concrete pumping industry on safe con- crete pumping procedures.

The Canadian Design and Construction Report — September 2016 – 37 Renamed Passive House Canada/Maison Passive Canada leads the way in education, advocacy and events to achieve higher performance building standards Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature Reflecting its new presence and mandate as Canada’s national non-profit professional association for advocating for Passive House (Passivhaus) high performance building standard, the former Canadian Passive House Institute West has been rebranded as Passive House Canada/ Mai- son Passive Canada. President Rob Bernhardt says the name change, which had been under discussion for some time, received ap- proval at the organization’s annual general meeting in June. “Our new name reflects the desire for a national organiza- tion and an opportunity to bring together practitioners from across the country.” Passive House Canada will maintain its focus on educa- tion, advocacy and nationwide events intended to “facili- tate awareness and adoption of the Passive House standard throughout Canada’s design and construction in- dustry.” There are courses for construction professionals, policy makers and homeowners, combined with information and online resources about how to effectively and affordably design and build for comfort and efficiency through Pas- sive House standards. The organization also advises and partners with various levels of government considering adapting higher perform- ance building standards to building codes for new and re- furbished buildings. The cities of Vancouver, New Westminster and North Vancouver are leading the way in adopting higher standard building codes. “There are a number of provincial govern- ment initiatives and a number of municipal initiatives in- tended to offer the opportunity for codes to reach Passive House levels of efficiency.” North Shore Passive House 38 – September 2016 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report North Shore Passive House He says, for instance, a stretch code, currently being discussed at the committee level, would enable municipal- ities to opt into higher levels of required efficiency, includ- ing up to Passive House level. “Across the country there are suites of policies being considered as part of an overall climate change leadership program that include both incentives and education. Around the globe there is recognition that we need to im- prove building efficiency to meet climate change goals and that there must be fairly ambitious timelines set in place.” Ontario, for instance, recently announced funding to move ahead its climate change goals. While the specific plan has not yet been set and is already being hotly de- bated, Bernhardt says the government’s statement of in- tent indicates its policy directions. The federal government too has expressed a greater focus and commitment to the subject as well. “While a lot of this movement may have started in B.C., the interest from across the country and from a variety of sectors is growing.” Alta Lake Passive House The ambitious Passive House goals need to be achieved responsibly. Bernhardt says there is a high level awareness that the market transformation requires a mind shift incor- porating education, component development, consumer awareness and incentives. Though achieving Passive House is not as difficult as many assume, he says there still must be that ‘aha mo- ment’ when people take the time to look at Passive House closely enough and recognize how relatively easy it is to improve buildings. Alta Lake Passive House “What is most interesting is the Passive House is not a standard promoted by government or a big organization with a marketing budget. It is rather a movement that has been driven by consumer demand, by building owners.” He says in B.C. non-profit housing has seen an uptake of Passive House while globally the concept has been im- plemented in schools, hospitals, offices and retail build- ings, among others. Within the next year the number of visible Passive House projects will grow exponentially, Bernhardt says. “In Victoria alone there are currently seven Passive House proj- ects either in design or under construction. In the previous two years there had been one built in each of those years. There are another 40 buildings completed, in design or under construction in the province.” Passive House Canada is an affiliate of the International Passive House Association and a member of the North American Passive House Network. The organization works in collaboration with other green building associations and organizations to “transform the built environment, to cre- ate more comfortable and healthier buildings, while con- tributing to a sustainable future.” For more information, visit www.passivehousecanada.com. The Canadian Design and Construction Report — September 2016 – 39 Zehnder America leads in North American HRV and ERV systems Canadian Design and Construction Report staff writer Zehnder America is North America’s leader in high-efficiency heat recovery ventilators (HRV) and energy recovery ven- tilators (ERV). The company offers HRVs, ERVs, and air distribution systems, which provide a constant supply of pre-tem- pered fresh filtered air in buildings. Technical sales engineer Matt Groves says Zehnder offers the highest efficiency systems available in the North American market. All of the company’s units have been both HVI (Home Ventilating Institute) ComfoAir70 and Passive House certified. The company’s website says the heat recovery ventila- tion device recovers up to 90 per cent of the energy of the extract air to warm incoming fresh air, saving on heating costs. Air flow rates can be adjusted for each room to pro- vide optimal comfort levels and customization. Most Efficient Heat and Energy Recovery Ventilation Systems As homes are becoming more tightly built, proper ventilation is increasingly critical for optimal indoor air quality. Whether for an energy-efficient home, a Passive House, or ASHRAE 62.2 re- quirements, Zehnder Comfosystems ensure the highest standard for quiet operation, energy efficiency and performance. We custom design projects, offer installation support and commission our systems. For your next project, call us for a free HRV or ERV system design quote at (888) 778-6701. Zehnder America, Inc 6 Merrill Industrial Drive • Hampton, NH 03842T (603) 601-8544 • www.zehnderamerica.com 40 – September 2016 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report Groves says Zehnder’s units provide a healthier and more comfortable environment and can be equipped with an upgraded filter for those with higher allergen sensitivities. The whole house heat recovery ventilation sys- tem has a dual function: extracting moist, stale air from wet rooms such as kitchens and bathrooms and supplying fresh, filtered air to living spaces. Zehnder’s full line of HRVs and ERVs have been installed in many multi-family, single family, small commercial and school buildings. Groves says the company just released a new, much smaller unit which is a great solution for smaller spaces that require an individual controlled unit. “The new, CA70 fits on an exterior wall and uses a single penetration,” Groves said. Offering greater flexibility, Groves say it’s a cost-effec- tive unit for smaller spaces such as studio or one-bedroom apartments. Its ability to allow individual control also makes it an option for multi-family projects with individual room controls. While it doesn’t require it, the unit can be ducted to a bathroom to provide a complete ventilation so- lution for the space. Zehnder’s technical team will help with designing the ventilation system to ensure optimal indoor air quality and comfortable living. He says as part of its service, Zehnder works with clients to determine which unit is most efficient and cost-effective and provides a free basic ventilation de- sign to facilitate the project. “We work closely with archi- tects, builders, and developers in the planning process.” Zehnder then provides installers with training tools in- cluding online videos and workshops, which are offered across North America. “Finally, we commission or quality assure (QA) all sys- tems. This final step is critical in ensuring that our systems have been installed and commissioned as designed, and assures the building owner that the system will meet its designed specifications.” “Zehnder America has established multiple dealers to provide timely delivery and support for our systems across Canada.” Groves said. Western Canada is supported by Small Planet Supply in Vancouver while Pinwheel Building Supply, south of Toronto, provides systems to Eastern Canada. Both dealers are fully stocked with systems for quick delivery. Groves says all of this is backed up by a significant warehousing facility in Buffalo, and technical sales engi- neers across North America. Zehnder America is a division of the Zehnder Group, which specializes in advanced heating, cooling, and venti- lation solutions. The Zehnder Group has been in business since 1895.

The company recently made headlines when it reached out with an offer of employ- ment to two homeless men. Various news agencies reported that two men had been offered work and given one-way bus tickets to B.C. after one was denied funding to continue staying at a shelter in North Battleford, SK. CBC had quoted 360 Crane’s owner Jason Stennes at the time as saying: “I’m one of those guys that if I’m at a red light and there’s somebody begging for change and he’s 20 years old, I offer him a job. I give people a chance. It’s just what I do.” While one of the men was not able to remain at work in the field due to health issues, the other used the offer as a stepping stone to get back on his feet, becoming one of the almost 80 people The 360 Group employs, before moving on to new employment. Dan Norman, 360 Crane’s vice president and general manager, says just as Stennes (also known as Stretch) applies a common sense approach to life and dealing with people, he also applies that same common sense to business. He says he had a dream to expand where viable demand existed and has grown the company, division by division, according to that. “The recycling divisions are the fu- ture for our planet and are growing steadily each and every year. Location, demand and ease of use has driven 360 Recycling and 360 Bumpers and Plastics on a steadily increasing profit margin.” He says the company’s trucking division was a perfect compli- ment to its light/medium weight material hauling and vehicle tow- ing. The company is able to use its own trucks for a majority of its interdivisional hauling and towing. 360 Crane Truck Rental and 360 Towing, he says, is ready at a moment’s notice. The company’s snow removal division was purchased as a complete turnkey operation to meet the needs of small shops, strip malls, and parking lots. “Two plow trucks with large capacity salt- ing hoppers handle the large areas while a team of two quads with blades handle the areas where the big trucks can’t get to. Driven to keep businesses open and the public safe is 360 Snow Plow Ser- vice’s main goal.” Norman says 360 Cranes and Maintenance has supplied man- power for tower crane set up and demobilization for eight years. “Coming from rigging and operating tower cranes in the Vancou- ver area for 17 years, Stretch found a demand to supply operators and riggers for the construction industry, not only in B.C., but also into Alberta.” He says skilled personnel are hand picked by Stretch himself, to get the job done in one of the industry’s most skill-oriented jobs. “We work hand in hand with Worksafe BC to keep our crane divi- sion on the leading edge of safety and reliability to give the client peace of mind that things will run smoothly in crane operations.” While this is the tenth year for the com- pany overall, it is also the first anniversary of the company’s 360 Construction division. “Even though The 360 Group has supplied carpenters for three years to other large com- panies in the Lower Mainland, we have now been our own construction company for one year.” Norman says 360 Construction has grown to be a contender in the concrete forming in- dustry. During its first year the company constructed a 14-storey tower and a 244,000 sq. ft. parkade. “At present we are completing a project that was abandoned by another form work company and started a small four level commercial/office project near Granville Island.” He says more work is on the horizon, for this and all of The 360 Group’s divisions, as the market is booming in the Vancouver area.

The Canadian Design and Construction Report — September 2016 – 41 Canada’s North Northwest Territories and Nunavut Construction Association (NNCA) serves, promotes and represents 150 industry members NWT Data Centre Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature Established in 1976 as the NWT Construction Associa- tion, as a voluntary member association committed to serve, promote and represent the local construction indus- try, in 2012 the association was renamed the Northwest Territories and Nunavut Construction Association (NNCA). Today the NNCA’s 150 members include general con- tractors, trade contractors, manufacturers and suppliers, road builders and heavy construction contractors, logistics and transportation businesses, and allied professionals. Other members include associations, government depart- ments and agencies working in the north. NNCA president Dave Brothers says the association adopted a new constitution and new bylaws at its 2015 AGM, noting, “The constitution expanded and refined the association’s objectives to reflect contemporary and antic- ipated opportunities and challenges, including the changes and growth of the northern construction industry.” Listed in the new constitution is the intent to “promote suitable and desirable legislation affecting the construction industry and to provide government with a liaison for any contemplated legislation, regulation or policy, by munici- Contnued on page 44 UNW 42 – September 2016 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report Canada’s North QBDC pursues economic Nunavut communities’ economic development opportunities Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature Formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of Qikiqtaaluk Corporation in April 2016, the Qikiqtaaluk Business Devel- opment Corporation (QBDC) pursues economic develop- ment and infrastructure initiatives within the 13 communities of Nunavut’s Qikiqtani region. QBDC seeks to “improve community capacity and self-reliance by cre- ating opportunities that enhance local Inuit business and individual career development prospects while addressing the essential infrastructure and local economic deficit through partnership, innovation and investment.” The 13 communities include Nunavut’s capital, Iqaluit, and the 12 municipalities of Arctic Bay, Cape Dorset, Clyde River, Grise Fiord, Hall Beach, Igloolik, Kimmirut, Pangnir- tung, Pond Inlet, Qikiqtarjuaq, Resolute and Sanikiluaq. Sheldon Nimchuk, QBDC’s director of project develop- ment and partnerships, says the organization builds on the capacity developed within Qikiqtalluk Corporation over the years to assist the region’s communities through tradi- tional and alternate economic and infrastructure delivery models. QBDC will focus on promoting partnerships with government at various levels, while aligning private invest- ment opportunities with each of the 13 communities to- wards implementing their unique economic and social infrastructure development plans. The organization’s business plan states: “The long-term objective of QBDC would be to provide the appropriate re- sources and corporate knowledge available within Qikiq- taaluk Corp. and its group of companies as a catalyst to advancing a new economic model of self-reliance through effective partnership between our Qikiqtani communities and Inuit organizations along with the territorial and federal governments.” These efforts, Nimchuk says, will focus on economic sectors including but not limited to transportation, telecommunications, energy, resource and in-shore fish- eries development, along with social infrastructure to cre- ate alternative delivery opportunities in recognition that advancing future initiatives may utilize new technologies and renewables as a means to align stakeholders’ interests and business sustainability. QBDC will complement its resources to enhance skills development and employment opportunities, especially in business development and project management. The business plan notes: “One of the key objectives of QBDC in pursuing partnership opportunities will be to demonstrate dedicated commitments to training and ca- reer development for Inuit. Efforts to identify and pursue the incorporation of funding programs to maximize em- ployment and career development promotion in synergy with future economic development and essential infra- structure initiatives throughout our region.” Nimchuk says while the organization has begun advanc- ing some early initiatives, many specific strategies and plans have not yet been fully established. Imminent plans to develop an adaptable five-year strategic plan “will help focus our effort and be positioned to collaborate further with our communities.” QBDC is a division of Qikiqtaaluk Corporation which is wholly owned by the Qikiqtani Inuit Association.

The efforts are to ensure said legislation/regulation/policies/resulting programs and services are informed by the realities of the private sector.” He says, as in other jurisdictions in Canada, the industry has seen a slowdown on the resource side and also private investment. Based though on what the federal and territo- rial governments are looking at doing as far as infrastruc- ture, the NNCA anticipates a reasonable workload in the years ahead. “We do need to see private investment within the next three years or we will see a significant downturn in our area.” Brothers says NNCA members face a variety of chal- lenges beyond an uncertain economy, including constant change and increased competition. To that end, he says NNCA works to identify procurement opportunities for its members. The association also offers professional devel- opment to help its members remain competitive. The NNCA also offers scholarships to apprentices work- ing for a member companies. Brothers says the NNCA has also formed a partnership with the National Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada and the National Research Council - In- dustrial Research Assistance Program. “Businesses hiring undergraduate students registered in a natural sciences or engineering program may be eligi- ble for federal funding to support these hires,” he said. “The intent of this partnership is to increase opportunities for undergraduate students to gain meaningful work expe- rience in the private sector and to support the private sec- tors’ efforts to hire undergraduate students.” For more information about the NNCA, visit http://nnca.ca. GEORGIE & CHBA AWARDS CHBA recognizes achievement in sustainable design, green building and more traditional categories Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature The growing interest in sustainable design and green build- ing has resulted in new opportunities to recognize and cele- brate innovators and projects making headlines. Several of these achievements were recognized at the twenty-fourth annual Canadian Home Builders’ Association of British Columbia (CHBA BC)’s Georgie Awards and at CHBA’s 73 rd annual national conference in Kelowna. “As submissions become more spectacular, the competition intensifies: multi-million-dollar estates, soaring towers, tim- bered vacation homes, dramatic landscaping,” CHBA BC said in a statement. “Among this year’s highlights: an architecturally stunning Italian palazzo overlooking a two-acre trout lake and an 8,500 sq. ft. pond, multiple fountains recirculating rainwater, on the site of a former gravel pit. Travelling through time to an- other galaxy, a Stargate sculpture, part of a spaceship on the show, with working gears and lights, has become the centre- piece of an extraordinary wine display.” Award eligibility is limited to companies or association com- panies who are members of the association. Projects had to be completed between January 2014 and September 2015. The call for entries for the 2017 Georgies – for projects completed between January 1, 2015 and September 30, 2016 will open in July. The sold out event, which drew more than 600 members and guests, took place in March at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Vancouver.

Now in its seventeenth year in busi- ness, president Erik Lacey started the com- pany based on his experience in civil construction and local construction proj- ects. While he began by buying properties and renovating them to resell, the com- pany has since shifted its focus to high end residential. “At the heart of this we are a family run business. My wife Lesa is our business manager.” Lacey says the Deroche, B.C. based company would not be where it is today without the amazing work of the com- pany’s team, suppliers and trades, many of whom have been with Lacey Develop- ments for more than 10 years. He says Lacey Developments is proud to promote women in the trades and in fact, more than 25 per cent of the com- pany’s staff of 20 are women. “We have an amazing crew that will help our clients with every aspect of work and we have our own construction equipment and can do all the work start to finish with this same qualified crew.” Building between six and nine homes a year, the company works primarily in the eastern Fraser Valley. Lacey says however, he has also completed projects from Whistler to Boston Bar, in- cluding several off the grid cabins and homes. Understanding the stress building a home can place on clients, Lacey says his staff is focused on providing personal customer service that exceeds expectations. “We work with our clients daily, often meeting on evenings and weekends to make the process as seamless as possible.” The company is also focused on providing a high quality end product that often features locally sourced materials including fin- ished timbers. “Our homes are built and renovated with love and a positive attitude that comes from every member of the crew. We make our clients’ vision come to life, helping them refine their ideas or bringing to life magazine clippings they’ve been dreaming over for years.” He says clients can access their selections, inspection reports, plans, quotes, change orders and contracts from the company’s online construction management platform. Since the majority of clients live out of town, he says this is a key factor in keeping reg- ular communication with clients and trades. The award winning Farmhouse Reimagined project was a 1950s farmhouse bungalow on a working dairy farm that was transformed into a two-storey dream home. “Working closely with the family to minimize disruption to the farm’s operation, we re- moved the roof and added upper bedrooms and living space while retaining the garage and a recently renovated kitchen.” As with any Lacey Development project, he says the home fea- tures some gorgeous touches including tongue and groove ceil- ing, locally sourced timbers, hardwood floors and a uniquely customized laundry room. “We are extremely proud to have won this award. Previously we have been a finalist nationally and provincially in a similar cat- egory and this win means a lot to our team and to our client. Lacey says the company is very active with CHBA locally and now provincially. “We love seeing the amazing work our peers do across the country. Being on hand at the awards event and walk- ing the red carpet together to get the award was a really special moment.” He says the company is currently working on four other custom homes including a lakefront home in Lake Errock that also features some amazing custom touches and details and that the client is referring to as ‘new rustic.’ “We are also in talks with a client in rural Mission to work with their well known architect to build a beautiful new modern custom home and we work with local First Nations on renovations and new work and are very proud of our long term relationships there.” Lacey Developments is a member of the CHBA Fraser Valley chapter, and is active with the HPO Builder Qualifications Com- mittee.

The Canadian Design and Construction Report — September 2016 – 47 GEORGIE & CHBA AWARDS Mid Island Cabinets’ project awards nominations recognize builders’ partnerships and concept to completion service Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature Vancouver Island’s Mid Island Cabinets recently had three of its projects nominated in the Canadian Home Builders’ Association of BC’s annual Georgie Awards. The company’s work was recognized when builder Windley Contractors won for its Songbird Place project in Nanaimo. Mid Island Cabinets is a family owned business with locations in Parksville (manufacturing and showroom) and Nanaimo (showroom). Owner Kathy Hatcher says her par- ents began the business in 1992. While her father is still involved, she and her brother have taken on more active roles in running the company. She says to see her builders recognized through these awards gives the company a great sense of pride. “It is due to the efforts of every person on our staff that we have been able to grow, be part of projects like this, and to help our builders succeed.” Mid Island fabricates a wide variety of custom cabi- netry ranging from built-ins to wall beds and bars. “Unlike some other custom cabinet builders, we do all of our own work in-house from crafting the pieces right through to finishing.” Hatcher says this not only allows the company to con- trol its own timelines and to ensure quality for the end- user; it also ensures local people are employed. All of the company’s wood comes from Canadian sources as well, and much of it from B.C., which ensures Canadians on a larger scale are engaged. For the Georgie Award projects, Mid Island worked with builders, looking at plans and suggesting ideas. “Though some builders we have worked with before will just contact us and ask us to proceed with the selection of materials and styles, others, and homeowners, will come into one of our showrooms to look around, feel and touch samples and hear about the options we can pro- vide.” Homeowners in particular she says, often require de- tailed information and sometimes education in what will work and what won’t and what design or material would be best for the project they are considering. Hatcher says her skilled team of designers and in- stallers handle the work from the first measure, to the in- stallation. This way, she says measurements are guaranteed, other workers are not pulled away from their work to do the install, and her team can ensure the units are put into place properly and efficiently. Later this year Mid Island Cabinets will be relocating its Parksville showroom and factory to a new 30,000 sq. ft. facility just minutes from its current location. Hatcher says the move will allow the company to streamline its efforts and to serve a larger area.

The association is a long time Construction Specifications Canada (CSC) associate member and this year was a sponsor of the CSC Conference in Halifax. CUFCA represents more than 350 member contrac- tors employing more than 700 certified installers. The association’s main focus is to ensure its contractors and their installers are operating in compliance with the applicable installation standards in Canada and that their customers receive a defect free spray foam installation. CUFCA participates with many groups and associ- ations, executive director Andrew Cole says. “We are involved with CEEA (Canadian Energy Efficiency Al- liance) for instance. This is a dynamic group of com- panies that work to educate governments at all levels on where to look to invest or create awareness on best return programs for energy conservation.” Cole says the association has also supported the CSC trade directory and will continue to support CSC regionally and nationally. He says participation in in- dustry events in the globalized era is critical in lever- aging relationships in broader communities, rather than operating in isolation. “It is critical that specification writers have access to unbiased information and specifications,” he said. “Too often manufacturers use specifications as a weapon against their competition and as such we end up with specifications that may have contradictory re- quirements and may actually not comply with stan- dards. Errors of omission do happen and again we are a resource to correct these situations.” The Canadian Design and Construction Report — September 2016 – 49 He says CUFCA also works with all provincial building of- ficial associations and participates in their annual general meetings and educational sessions to increase knowledge of SPF for their inspectors. Cole says the association operates a consumer com- plaint resolution process for any end users of members’ products. “If there is any concern that a job is defective, we will be involved in the inspection and remediation process. CUFCA also has an independent warranty program at no cost to our contractors.” He says, as is the case with many trades, the greatest challenge is ensuring staff are well trained. It is a struggle, he says, for contractors to invest in developing their employ- ees. Once trained, many will take their newfound skills and seek higher pay elsewhere. “There is little loyalty these days and yes, we know this is a two-way street, but the fallout is that many contractors simply cannot afford to continue to fund training programs for their staff only to have them leave.” CUFCA offers skills training specific to the industry and is currently working to develop innovative lower cost deliv- ery systems. CUFCA is an ISO-17024 accredited certification organiza- tion for installers.The certification process includes a written exam component to validate a candidate's knowledge and a practicum spray out evaluation to confirm skills and abili- ties.”CUFCA started to offer an optional training program in response to, what we felt, was a clear lack of training being offered by manufacturers of spray foam systems.” Since 1926, Graco Inc. has been a leading provider of premium pumps and spray equipment for fluid handling in the construction, manufacturing, processing and maintenance industries. Headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Graco works closely with distributors around the world to offer innovative products that set the quality standard for spray finishing, paint circulation, lubrication, sealant and adhesives dispensing, process application, and contractor power equipment. These best-in-class products are manufactured in the U.S. and China and supplied through our distribution centers in Minnesota, Belgium, Japan, Korea, China and Australia. What sets us apart from our competitors is our history, a focus on highly-engineered, quality products, industry- leading innovation and the solid partnerships we form with customers and suppliers around the world. Phone: 800-328-0211 www.graco.com/Reactor The association operates a fully equipped training centre in Mississauga, with both 2lb closed cell and .5 lb open cell SPF products. “It is still a challenge to take a student who may have had no prior experience and teach them to be- come proficient in only four days. Our training program used to be two weeks and was quite expensive but due to man- ufacturers with other QAP programs wishing to offer half day courses we were forced to change our program.” This is one of the reasons members are encouraged to implement an apprenticeship style training program within their own workplaces. Cole says the industry as a whole suffers when its mem- bers do not take field quality assurance seriously. The in- creasing failures, he says, will ultimately negatively impact the larger market. “Thankfully CUFCA members are commit- ted to the ideals of a higher quality spray foam industry.” Other issues facing members include the influx of new and inexperienced installers that have entered the market- place. “Spray foam is growing from a niche business to be- coming more mainstream. This rapid growth does result in some difficulty for the industry to keep up with demand.” He says an increase in competition and the variety of skills needed and available is also a challenge. “The con- struction industry, with its “low-bid” system of contractor and sub-contractor selection really is problematic,” Cole said. “How can good quality flow from a system that is set up to pay the least for any trade?” He says the quality control issue is so great that it has spawned an entire industry of third party inspection providers working for architects to ensure that systems in- stalled meet the codes. CUFCA also provides these services to its members and their clients. As an impartial third party to both the manu- facturer and the contractor, he says CUFCA will ensure that the SPF work installed meets the standards and codes. “We have very good templates for specification writers that can be taken from our website in order to ensure they have a sound starting point when contracting for spray foam.” Cole says CUFCA also works to build the spray foam in- dustry as a whole, offering impartial education to building officials, architects and other design professionals to pro- vide a greater knowledge of the various spray foam prod- ucts and their applicable standards and installation process. “Products all have strengths and weaknesses and there is a great deal of confusion in the market that needs to be clar- ified.” He says a good relationship with building departments across Canada ensures CUFCA can answer questions or concerns quickly and correctly with no commercial interest resulting from working for any one manufacturer. “We are passionate about the products and see tremendous poten- tial in achieving energy saving targets and carbon reduction targets when installing such a superior air sealing and ther- mal insulating product.” He says the association is always working on ways to continue to build a stronger community within the SPF mar- ket in Canada and has made progress. The association also continues to make progress in sup- porting its members. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Continued on page 51 50 – September 2016 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report Genyk Polyurethanes: An emerging force in the Canadian spray foam market Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature Genyk Polyurethanes is making its mark on the Canadian spray foam market. Established in 2012, Genyk started in flexible polyurethanes and two years ago introduced its Canadian Con- struction Materials Centre (CCMC) approved medium density spray foam. Today, Genyk has a complete product line ranging from light density spray foams to higher density roofing materials. The premier product in the Genyk line is Boreal Lavender, a CCMC approved, ecologically responsible medium density foam. Mark Furoy, president of Furoy’s Insulation, a 20-year veteran of the spray foam industry, endorses Genyk as a contractor friendly product. “My sprayers love the ease of application, my customers love the pleasant aroma during the spray process, and I love the yield.” Genyk’s “sprayability” is no accident. The driving force behind Genyk is Yves Rondeau, a chemist and 25-year veteran of the spray polyurethane foam industry. Together, Rondeau and his lab partner David Lievin have 40 years of experience with polyurethanes. In the field, Genyk is represented by Mike Richmond from On- tario, a building science specialist with 35 years of experience in the spray polyurethane industry. Genyk’s rise in the spray foam community has been rapid. The company’s short history has been marked by product consis- tency and material innovation. In the immediate future, Genyk will be announcing its new Type Two, medium density ‘Nature.’ On the horizon – watch for Genyk’s new HFO-blown medium density foam. “If the company’s performance is repeated, the spray foam in- dustry will be well served by these new products,” says Rich- mond. For more information about Genyk, visit www.genyk.com. Continued from page 50 CUFCA recently released a new daily worksheet online web form system. “A requirement of SPF in- stallers in Canada is to complete a daily work record. This is a requirement of the standard for 2lb closed cell SPF and will also be a requirement for the .5 lb open cell SPF standard that is due to be published next month.” The interactive form can be accessed from any web enabled device. To achieve this, CUFCA lever- aged its own installers’ database with external re- sources such as the national weather bureau in order to populate required data automatically where possi- ble. “It has become a real timesaver for our members and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. We will continue to investigate and leverage technol- ogy where we can.” “Spray foam is a wonderful product that can greatly increase energy efficiency in the construction market. As a site manufactured product it requires handling by trained and experienced installers. Certification of installers is a key component to ensuring you get qual- ity workmanship at all times.” For more information about CUFCA, visit www.cufca.ca. The Canadian Design and Construction Report — September 2016 – 51 Graco leads in spray foam innovations and contractor service Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature From its beginnings as a small family owned business in 1926, Graco Inc. has grown to be a premier manufac- turer of fluid-handling equipment and systems. The com- pany’s innovations in spray foam equipment and tools over the past few years have been developed with the mindset of “let’s make it hard for contractors to spray bad foam.” While the company’s roots began with grease and cars, by the end of World War II, the company recognized its systems could benefit a wider range of applications. By the mid-1950s, the company had moved into paint spraying and finishing, food handling, cleaning, and literally hundreds of different applications areas. By 1969, sales had reached $33 million and the com- pany moved from a family owned company to a public company, changing its name from Gray Company to Graco. Today the company employs more than 3,600 people in more than 30 locations around the world. Sara McKeon, Graco marketing man- ager, says the company’s basic mission of service to people through profitable growth is evident in its innovation and focus on making people’s work easier and more effective. “Our Reactor 2 was strategically designed to help a contrac- tor’s businesses run smoothly. Software and hardware updates were made for better spray performance, ultimately saving a contractor’s bottom line.” She says Reactor 2 includes a variety of advantages, including a compact foot- print to allow for more room in a spray rig, ergonomic design for ease of serv- ice, and QR (quick response) codes for quick and easy troubleshooting while on a job site. “Graco InSite is an accessory that can be added to most Reactor models, and comes standard in Reactor 2 elite mod- els, that gives contractors control of their business. InSite gives contractors – of all sizes - peace of mind a job was completed to the specifications with data reports and documentation at their fingertips.” InSite, she says, also allows for better fleet and crew management, as well as better cost containment and forecasting. 52 – September 2016 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report McKeon says Graco’s advantages go beyond the equip- ment itself. “We have more than 100 distributor locations across North America that are fully trained in the equip- ment and can offer service, support and repair parts at any time.” Understanding that the needs of the industry are not only focused on efficiency, but also safety and proper training, she says Graco works closely with organizations and associa- tions in developing training material for the industry. She says Graco is an advocate for con- tractors receiving the proper training and tools to apply spray foam correctly and safely. “Graco also conducts hands on training for its strong distributor network, ensuring they are properly trained to help service and support equipment that is in the field.” Online training modules are also avail- able on the web through Graco University. “Many material manufactures/blenders also recommend Graco equipment be- cause Graco offers consistency and relia- bility they can depend on.” For more information about Graco, visit http://www.graco.com.
