THE RED MASON Heritage expert calls for more holistic and broad-base masonry trades training Canadian Design and Construction Report staff writer One of the leading international experts on historical brick masonry, residing in England, has shared his insights with Canadians, taking them on a journey of education en- compassing the past and future, revealing both aspects of the heritage and opportunity in traditional craft skills. Gerard Lynch, who holds a PhD for his knowledge of the topic, also put on a mason's apron and prepared some mortar, made according to historic practice, before demon- strating “tuck pointing” utilizing specialized and bespoke- made tools adapted from traditional practices, and provided other classroom and workshop demonstrations during the two-day Ottawa program in April, co-ordinated by the local Construction Specifications Canada (CSC) chapter. Lynch has spent a lifetime studying and rediscovering long-lost masonry craft skills, vital technical knowledge for the growing demand in heritage renovation projects, no- tably the extensive multi-year Parliament Hill work. He has 4 – April-May 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report become affectionately known by the historic name “The Red Mason” because of his mastery of the high-level art of working and carving special bricks for architectural en- richments and vast historical knowledge of red (brick) ma- sonry and, he jokes, also because his now-grey but formerly red (ginger) hair. Heritage craft skills remain reasonably rare, he said. “The work I've been doing over the past 25 to 30 years has advanced the situation within traditional brick masonry from almost zero to (the point where there are) a number of very good craftsmen and women able to do this class of brickwork,” he said. “It's been very much a journey of personal passion, devotion to my craft and re-discovery.” Lynch has combined his almost 45 years of on-the-job craft experience with in-depth, scholarly, academic re- search, notably pouring over historic documents and old guides to his craft. He quickly recognized gaps – for exam- ple, how historical documents explaining past masonry techniques often left out important details, which he needed to rediscover through his natural talent - that saw
him win top apprentice in the UK and awarded the Silver and Gold Trowels - alongside exhaustive practical testing. Those original masonry publishers “were clearly holding on to craft se- crets and mysteries they didn't want to completely share,” he said. These skills and secrets were passed on from generation-to-generation through traditional apprenticeships. “When one signed an apprentice- ship deed, one agreed not to divulge the mysteries (secrets) of their art.” This limitation on knowledge-sharing served two purposes. It preserved the craft's prestige and safeguarded ca- reers for craftsmen. More importantly, he said, in a practical sense some of the advanced knowledge would only be useful after the mason had suc- cessfully mastered the basic craft skills, because a little of this advanced knowledge, learned too early, or passed to someone without formal training, could do far more harm than good. Lynch says he is pleased that a new generation of heritage masonry craftspeople are learning some of the best of the traditional craft knowledge and skills on Parliament Hill, through the high-level education and training being provided there, but he is gener- ally concerned about the basic process of training young masons, where expediency and production ef- ficiency, based solely on new-build with an accompanying and less than satisfactory emphasis on education, does not leave much room for more traditional or deeper, meaningful, level of craft knowledge. “We need what I term the 'holistic craftsman', taught to possess an all- around perception and ability within the craft, with knowledge of the old ways and modern techniques, that are in perfect balance and which can be called on as and when required,” he said. However, the trend today is for “ac- creditation on short, modular, courses” – training without the all-im- portant education. “People controlling budgets say it costs too much money (for a fully- rounded education and training),” he said. “They rationalize saying things like: 'Why can't we get these appren- tices and adult trainees in and out of the system quickly?'” The result: Modern tradespeople are not craftsmen, they don't possess 'crafting' skills only 'fixing' and 'assem- bly' skills, and lack an appreciation of their craft history, and so they “don't have any empathy with the historic structures that they find themselves working on . . . they won't ever have an appreciation of the traditional ma- terials and techniques, appropriate to that certain period of that building's history to work on it correctly; and un- able to answer any specific questions about this if someone picks them up enquiring on them.” These are at best semi-skilled ma- sons but as such are typical of those who, through lack of quality education and training in a craft, will use incom- patible or inappropriate materials, craft practices and an inadequate standard of workmanship; all of which will result in more harm than good, he said. “Throughout history no one ever made money in delivering quality ap- prenticeships,” Lynch said. “But when you fail to educate and then under- train people within their craft, their work eventually costs you a huge amount of money at some point in the future; and particularly so when that occurs on our precious stock of his- toric buildings. “Bad work costs an inordinate sum to correct. It's far cheaper to invest and do it right in the first place.” Courtesy of the Vancouver Convention Centre BUILDING LASTING CHANGE 2015 C a n a d J Join io n u us s at a t Canada’s ’a a s largest ts green building al r g e g r e en b iu ld ing c conference e o nf er en c » Industry y e education In d u ts r d uc ita on » Green n building g tours sr G er e b nidliu t o u » B2B meetings s B 2B me nite g » N Networking g e events s et w o nikr v e nt » 100 0 exhibitors 1 0 e x tibih ors V Vancouver r C Convention n C Centre, e , J June e 2-4 4 a nc o u v e o n v e n oit e n rt u n 2- R Register r n now w a at: t : w www.cagbc.org/blc2015 5 e e etsig o w w c. a g b .c or g /bl c 2 0 1 The Canadian Design and Construction Report — April-May 2015 – 5
Trendhunter.com's Geremy Gutsche speaks to the Canadian Construction Association TRENDS AND CHANGES Can the construction industry understand and adapt to the pace of innovation and the millennial generation's values? By Mark Buckshon Canadian Design and Construction Report staff writer When Trendhunter.com's Geremy Gutsche and mem- bers of the Canadian Construction Association (CCA) trav- elled to San Antonio, TX in March for the association's annual national conference, they landed in a city steeped in tradition and history (the Alamo), combined with cutting- edge innovation and entrepreneurial initiative. The association also captured the balance between tra- dition and innovation by selecting Gutsche to be the keynote speaker, where he shared examples (and warning stories) of businesses that had been at the top of the pack, but quickly failed because of innovations and technological changes that seemed unimag- inable a few years earlier. In his books and materials, he cites the well-known examples of Kodak, which devel- oped the digital camera, Blockbuster Video (which could have purchased Netflix for a rel- ative pittance), and Smith-Corona, which had the opportunity to enter the computer busi- ness but instead decided to focus on saving money by relocating its manufacturing to Mexico – as it developed a then-impressive 6 – April-May 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report electronic typewriter with characteristics of a modern com- puter laptop. (If you look for Smith-Corona now, you'll dis- cover a business that sells thermal paper rolls – its legacy typewriter repair business has been hived off to another organization.) But what about the construction industry? In a video interview posted on the CCA website, Gutsche said successful people and teams are victim to three traps. “The traps are that we become complacent, we lose that hunger we had when we were first out of school,” he said. “We become repetitive. We do what happened be- fore instead of trying something new, and we become very protective of our ideas.” “We assume we're correct, we create for- tunes, we attribute our fortune to that idea, and we're not really as open to whatever the next generation or the next customer has to say.” Then, how can the construction industry deal with these challenges? He said the chal- lenge relates to the integration of projects and initiatives – where, for example, for a hospital, the “RFP is not just for a building; its actually to create patient care at a much different level.”
The Trendhunter.com website “I think that the question you need to ask yourself is what exactly is it that you're trying to do,” he told an inter- viewer. “Are you building a building? Are you paving a road? Or are you solving a different need?” “The more you push yourself, there are critical ques- tions you can ask that would lead you to better understand how your construction business could evolve.” Gutsche added: “The other huge trend that's going to be impacting construction is the generational shift as we go and shift the power of control from boomers to millen- nials.” “Millenials aren't motivated by money,” he said. “They're not motivated by putting in a career of decades of effort into one company. They're motivated by completing, by feeling a sense of belonging, by feeling as if they're in charge and running their own projects.” “This is something that scares off a lot of the engineer- ing in more traditional companies that I've worked with, but the other way to think about it is the attributes of a millen- nial are very similar to the attributes of an entrepreneur. By reengineering how you motivate that new group, you can actually benefit from a group of hungry minds that want to help you adapt.” Of course, putting these words into action can take some effort and, as Gutsche indicates in other materials, no one can really predict the future. The key is to be able to capture the trends – and the examples on his website trendhunter.com may seem a bit different from the chal- lenges most architectural, engineering and construction businesses encounter in their day-to-day operations. However, some AEC businesses certainly “get it” – for example, the trend to green and energy-efficient construc- tion. In Ottawa, Jonathan Westeinde built Windmill Devel- opments as a pioneer in environmentally-responsible development. A few years later, dozens of contractors proudly proclaimed they could handle co-ordinating LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) projects, but they were catching up, not leading. More recently, Ottawa architect CSV has started pio- neering with Passive House construction techniques – achieving extreme energy efficiency without excessively complex systems and processes in the construction. Is this work just ahead of the curve? On the other extreme, several general contractors have been complaining about bundling and the impossibility of competing against well-funded international competitors as job sizes and financing complications grow larger and increasingly sophisticated. How can they adapt when the barriers for bidding seem to be growing at an exponential rate? Some are leading with Integrated Project Delivery (IPD); others are capturing new trends such as 3D printing and virtual reality modeling, and of course, Building Infor- mation Modeling (BIM). But when do you go with the flow, hold back, or decide to take a leap into leadership? “People don't realize it, but here we are experiencing history's highest rate of change, and yet we don't learn about chaos in schools,” Gutche said in the interview. “We are actually approaching the world with a brain that's evolved from 10,000 years of evolution, and all of that leads to a series of traps, traps that block successful peo- ple in particular from adapting. “I'd like to say that 10,000 years of evolution as farmers means that we farm our opportunity, and once you find what you're successful at, your career, your occupation, your go-to way to run a project, then you repeat and opti- mize whatever led to last year's harvest, and that's helped us feed ourselves for 10,000 years, but actually at time pe- riod of change, there are a lot of pitfalls to that.” Gutsche (and the CCA) provided a link to background material from his presentation at the CCA conference at www.trendhunter.com/secret/construction.

GENERAL CONTRACTING New generation discovers traditional values remain critical for success in competitive industry Canadian Design and Construction Report staff writer How does the new generation of general contractors view the industry and its future? The answer, according to a group of relatively young Ontario company presidents, is that the values underly- ing previous generations' successes remain the key to the years ahead. And it seems the work ethic for these leaders is as strong as it was for their parents and grandparents, they told the Ontario General Contractors Asso- ciation (OGCA) symposium's presi- dents' panel this spring. “We need to have leaders in the field,” said incoming OGCA president Jason Ball, moderating the panel. (Ball is president of Ball Construction in Kitchener.) “How do you grow people to become leaders?” Joel Melloul, president and CEO of Melloul Blamey Construction in Water- loo, provided an insight that several other panelists echoed – he inherited his opportunity, and values. “With (my) journey, it began in 1982,” Melloul said. “I was 10 years old. My dad and his best buddy from Conestoga College, they were laid off twice in quick succession by two dif- ferent contractors due to the tough economic climate, and they decided they would have one last go at the in- dustry on their own terms and not OGCA's young presidents: (from left): Victor Aveiro, James Van Gurp, Joel Melloul, Jason Bell and Marcus Gillam. someone else's terms.” It was the middle of the winter and the middle of a recession, and “at that point in time they had nothing to lose.” Melloul said his father called him to wake up early on his tenth birthday. “I had leftover birthday cake from my sis- ter's first birthday for breakfast” and then father and son went to work at a decrepit old building in Kitchener to create the new business's first office. “He needed help fixing things, vacu- uming orange curtains, green carpet tiles” in the cheap-rent location. “I don't think it was labouring in those dusty rooms,” he said. “Spending the day with my dad made it fun.” He said “all my childhood memo- ries and exposures to the real world re- volved around construction.” By the time he was a teenager, the business had grown enough to move to its pres- ent location, and he had a high-paying summer job. He went to university in engineer- ing, toured Europe for four months, and then his father “begged him to start” in the business. “Dad threw me into the estimating department learning from (partner) Dave Blamey how to be a successful estimator.” www.merx.com/events merk@merx.com 8 – April-May 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report www.merx.com
“As I grew within the organization, so did the organization grow.” “In about 15 years my role evolved from a junior estimator to vice-presi- dent (and then president) – and my field of vision got bigger and bigger and to this day is getting even bigger at the OGCA as well.” There were problems along the way, including his parents' divorce. “That's where I learned about patience and resistance to dealing with any- thing in a rash way,” he said. “Some- times (it is best) to let things play themselves out before meddling.” He said he's learned that you need to keep changing and learning. His business has evolved from fixed bid public work to contract and negotiated work, but when times demand it, it can compete for the competitive public jobs. “If you are not changing, you are dying,” he said. In some cases, in the morning, you have to make a decision, “and by noon you have to be prepared to make the exact opposite decision.” Victor Aveiro with Aveiro Construc- tors Ltd. in Dorchester, ON, just out- side of London, described a somewhat similar family succession story. His parents started the business in 1985. In the early years, they completed “small and mostly local projects” in- stalling Steelway buildings, specialty formwork and other challenges. “When times were tough and there wasn't work to find locally, they looked for opportunities that could be any- where in the world” – leading to oppor- tunities in Nepal, Latvia, Lithuania and through the Caribbean. “I started in the business when I turned 16,” Aveiro said. He was one of the few teenagers in his high school who drove to class with a cellphone, because after school he needed to de- liver screws or grinding disks to the job sites. He has continued to grow the busi- ness. James Van Gurp from Graceview Enterprises Inc., also in the London area, also recalled his youth growing up in a family-owned construction business. “When I was 13 or 14 years old, I got to participate in the tender process from time to time” answering the phones as subs called in their quotes. Marcus Gillam, president of Gillam Group Ltd., meanwhile, experienced the evolution from seeing his father becoming a leader of one of Toronto's largest general contractors, Vanbots, then experiencing the transition to cor- porate ownership under Carillion, be- fore he took the leap back into entrepreneurship and his own busi- ness. “It is remarkable how everyone in the panel has a parallel theme about how they got to where they are today,” he said. “Some of the themes are the core values, mentoring, value of education, value of life-long learning, technology, dealing with failure, family issues and succeeding with uncertainty around you, that pay the dues over the long term.” Gillam said his father immigrated to Canada from the UK. His father and a partner bought into Vanbots in the early 1990s, initially dreaming of reach- ing volumes of $20 million a year. By the time they sold the business to Car- illion in 2008, “annual volume was $750 million a year” with offices in Montreal, Ottawa, Vancouver, Ala- bama, Arizona, a presence in England and an office in Dubai. Gillam gained international experi- ence, working on a UK project “where we had to deliver $400 million in 2.5 years,” he said. “The client was very demanding to work with. I struggled but it was a good thing – it allowed me to grow personally.” In 2011 he decided to go in busi- ness for himself. “It was fairly tough knocking on doors” before he won his first contract, a $40,000 project. He re- calls showing up to help build the hoarding for the job site so they could keep it within the $1,000 budget.” Five years later, “we have a staff of 60 people, an excellent safety record and we have repeat clients.” www.threadsoflife.ca The Canadian Design and Construction Report — April-May 2015 – 9

He joined the CCA board in 2007 and has been serving as the chair of the General Contrac- tors Council since 2013. Under his leadership, the GC council has been active in promoting innovation, through its approval of the CCDC’s initiative in developing docu- mentations to support integrated project delivery (IPD) projects and the council’s research into lean construction to improve productivity and reduce waste. 10 – April-May 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report Jason Ball, Ball Construction Trade Contractor Award of Recognition – Kevin McEvoy, Guildfords McEvoy, the Newfoundland and Labrador branch man- ager for Guildfords, an insulation contracting firm, is a past chair of the Newfoundland and Labrador Construction As- sociation, a board member for the Construction Labour Re- lations Association and a director at large for the CCA. “On the CCA Trade Contractors Council, Kevin is valued for his astute insights, his ability to generate discussion, identify priorities, and for offering his expertise,” the CCA says. “He has been involved in issues such as the naming of sub- trades, prompt payment, strategic planning outcomes, safety prequalification, the updating of the Trade Contrac- tors Guide and Checklist, and apprenticeship and labour supply.”
Civil Infrastructure Award of Recognition – Frank Rizzardo, Emcon Services President of Emcon Services of Merritt, British Colum- bia, and a past chair of CCA, Frank Rizzardo has worked with the Transportation Association of Canada, the World Road Association, Western Canada Roadbuilders and Heavy Construction Association, the BC Road Builders and Heavy Construction Association as well as the Merritt & District Chamber of Commerce, Applied Science Technol- ogists and Technicians of BC and the local Rotary Club. “Every successful business uses innovative ideas to keep them at the leading edge whether they consciously acknowledge it as innovation or not,” the CCA reported. “When the BC Ministry of Transportation first presented the idea of exploring Road Weather Information Stations, Frank offered his three road maintenance areas to be the test sites because he believed in providing better informa- tion to the public and his staff about the road conditions.” During his time as CCA chair, he lobbied for the $53- billion Long Term Federal Infrastructure plan to foster eco- nomic growth and prosperity. Gold Seal Association Award – Newfoundland and Labrador Construction Association The Newfoundland and Labrador Construction Associ- ation (NLCA) has continued to increase awareness of the Gold Seal program, and has recently partnered with its provincial government to further advance education and skills for the construction industry. This initiative will offer a new suite of training support for employees in the con- struction industry to meet acknowledged labour market training needs. 50 employees from member businesses in all regions of the province have been identified to under- take the initial training, which will take place in the associ- ation’s Centre of Excellence. Participants will also be able to video conference in through the education and training space at Academy Canada’s various campus locations as a result of the industry stakeholder partnership. All employ- ees are new entrants to the Gold Seal Certification pro- gram and will go through the Gold Seal application process. Community Leader Award – Norm Castonguay, Asbex Environmental Contractors and Heritage Grade Catonguay, president of Asbex Environmental Contrac- tors and Heritage Grade with offices in Montreal, Quebec, and Ottawa, has become a model and leader for commu- nity empowerment. For example, in the summer of 2014, he renovated the cabins of Camp Amy Molson, an under- privileged inner-city Montreal children’s camp, securing the camp’s existing camp rating and enabling maintaining their funding. In another example, challenged by a skilled- worker shortage, he worked with the John Howard Society to employ former prisoners. Castonguay's commitment also reaches into sports and last year he received the Dive Canada President’s Award for his exceptional support. Partner Association Award – Association de la construc- tion du Québec Association de la construction du Québec received the CCA Partner Association Award for its work on providing training services to its members, for forging strong ties and increasing collaboration with its regional associations and for devising a strong strategy for restoring the indus- try’s image. International Business Award – Sièges Ducharme Sièges Ducharme, located in Montreal, Quebec, has been providing spectator seating solutions since 1959. Its expertise in resolving fixed-seating requirements for the institutional market – schools, colleges and universities; li- braries; places of worship; healthcare facilities and military bases - is well known, and its reputation for excellence is based upon its ability to identify and respond to facility challenges by providing custom solutions. The business has maintained and undertaken projects in the US, even after the 2008 economic downturn. Environmental Achievement Award – PCL PCL was awarded the CCA Environmental Achievement Award for work on the Wood Innovation and Design Centre (WIDC) in Prince George, BC. The storey WIDC is the tallest contemporary wood building in North America and is a showcase of innovative uses of wood that will lead to com- munity sustainability and resiliency. The structural concept used in the WIDC is “dry construction,” virtually eliminating the use of concrete above grade. The wood used to build the WIDC stores some 1,280 tonnes of carbon dioxide, equivalent to taking 339 cars off the road for a year, or the energy needed to operate a home for 151 years. An exam- ple of the green practices used in the WIDC is cross-lami- nated timber (CLT) made out of mountain beetle-killed pine. This is an area where Canada is ahead as no manu- facturers in the United States currently produce the prod- uct. Another green practice was the approach to fire resistance. Rather than protecting the wood structure from exposure to fire by covering it with non-combustible ma- terial, the wood was left exposed but the sizes of mem- bers were increased. National Safety Award – Grand Valley Construction Association The Grand Valley Construction Association (GVCA) in southwestern Ontario has succeed in safety through cus- tomization. The association's safety expert works closely with each member, with the association facilitating meet- ings that focus on members' unique needs and concerns. The association offers a suite of opportunities that in- clude Safety Groups, Safety Lite, Safety Training, and Safety Chapters, each of which provide access to health and safety training and information. The Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) has increased the number of audits of firms in the last two years. The GVCA provides in-depth preparation for the audits and its members score 100 per cent on almost every audit. The association’s Safety Group members are also experiencing significantly lower Lost Time Injury Rates than average and the associ- ation is proud of its year-over-year performance improve- ment.

Excellence in Innovation Award – PCL PCL won the CCA Excellence in Innovation Award for Calgary’s Airport Trail Tunnel, a cast–in-place tunnel struc- ture housing six traffic and two LRT lanes. Starting the de- sign in April 2011, the tunnel was completed in October 2012. The project team was able to meet the schedule due to an innovative approach that maximized the flow rate of the concrete pour without exceeding the pressure limits of the formwork. The pressure exerted by the poured con- crete produces an electrical output signal that is received by the small face of the transducers mounted flush with the inside of the form at pre-determined points, and is transmitted to a portable instrument box that measured and recorded pressure data. The box then converts that signal and communicates the data to a visual display as well as a data log. Onsite personnel monitors the pres- sures as the concrete is being poured and communicates the information to the pouring crew. As pressures ap- proach the limits of the formwork design, crews can be in- formed and the pour-rate can be slowed accordingly. Conversely, the pouring crew can also be informed if the rate of pour can be increased without compromising the integrity of the formwork. More information, including videos from the awards gala and a list of past recipients, is available on the CCA website at awards.cca-acc.com.

Ottawa ICF: Contractor continues business with history associated with Mike Duffy trial Canadian Design and Construction Report staff writer The person who purchased the business associated with Mike Duffy's senate expense scandal says the com- pany continues to operate, providing energy-efficient insu- lating concrete forms for foundations and walls. Stan Buck says “I feel I'm getting a bit of bad publicity” from the story. However, he says he has nothing to do with the scandal, and the controversial activities of the num- bered company operating as Maple Ridge Media and Ot- tawa ICF predated his purchase of the business in 2012. The company had previously been owned by the Dono- hue family. Duffy's friend, Gerald Donohue, was to testify in April at Duffy's trial on 31 counts of fraud, breach of trust and bribery, but could not attend court because he had been hospitalized and was recovering at home. “He's (Donohue) a very good man and a very decent man and a well accomplished man who wants to tell his side of the story,” Duffy's defence lawyer Donald Bayne told reporters, according to a published Canadian Press ar- ticle. In court, Donohue's son, Matt Donohue, said he didn't know anything about the Senate business. He said al- though he was a 40 per cent shareholder in the family company, he didn't know the details of his father's dealings with Duffy and he didn't recognize any of the non-construc- tion subcontractors who received payments. “The affairs of my father and his friends and acquain- tances was really none of my business, so I didn't stick my nose into the nature of it,” Matt Donohue reportedly testi- fied, saying that he was currently unemployed. Buck said he purchased the business from the Donohue family in 2012. “We have two ICF jobs going on right now, and four later on and into the summer,” he said. Buck said “I built the house Gerry and Gail (Donohue) lived in and am still in contact now,” he said. He says he is getting feedback from the Duffy trial pub- licity. “Everyone knows where I bought the business from – I'm getting some ribbing now – this is one of those things; it will get back to normal.” Buck said that while the ICF construction may require an investment about 20 per cent more than conventional construction, the payback in energy savings can be sub- stantial, depending on the structure and the type of fuel used. He estimated that on average there is a five year re- turn on investment. He says most of his business arises through leads from the ottawaicf.com website. He has changed the site little since taking over the business. “The Donohues were more involved in that kind of stuff,” Buck said. “I did the labour while they did the ad- ministration.” Stan Buck The site generates a couple of leads each week through the winter, “and once the weather starts to break, in March there are four or five a week.” While most of his work is residential, he has some commercial projects as well. In late April, the domain registration for Ottawaicf.com showed Gerry Donohue of Maple Ridge Media as the site's current registrant. When Canadian Design and Consruc- tion Report informed Buck that the former Donohue's name was still associated with ottawaicf.com, he re- sponded: “The domain registrant has been changed and our web developer is in control of the website.” In testimony at the Duffy trial, Matt Donohue said Gerry Donohue didn't have signing authority for the business. Court testimony indicated that once in 2012 Gerald Dono- hue “signed to a cheque to himself for $10,714 in 'ex- penses',” Canadian Press reported. “When we go through some of these cheques and you see him writing cheques to himself, does that cause you any concern?” CP quoted crown attorney Holmes as ask- ing. “I don't see any issue with him being compensated for expenses on my behalf,” Matt Donohue was quoted as answering in court. There is no suggestion in any of the court testimony or other materials that Stan Buck had any knowledge or as- sociation with the matters associated with the Duffy trial. Instead, Buck hopes the story will get back to the ad- vantages of ICF construction, and its powerful insulation properties. “You can't blow wind through concrete,” he said. “It performs a whole lot better than a conventional wall.” As for basements, under current building code en- ergy-saving requirements, “most builders have to put Sty- rofoam on the outside” of the concrete foundation. “Instead of affixing styrofoam, which can break off, with ICF, it's put right into the wall.” The Canadian Design and Construction Report — April-May 2015 – 13
NEWS BRIEFS BRITISH COLUMBIA Condos and tourist accommodations province's largest current construction projects Homes and hotels have become the leading drivers of BC construction industry activity, the Association of Consulting Engineering Companies British Columbia reports. The association says about half the value of the 20 largest projects, worth about $5.6 million, have been condo- miniums and tourist accommodation. Perhaps the largest current project is Concord Pacific’s $1 billion central condominium development on the north shore of Vancouver’s False Creek, with retail space, 90,000 sq. ft. of community amenities, an expanded casino, and 1,300 homes in eight tow- ers. Major resource and infrastructure projects are on the books, and if they were built now, would cause signifi- cant labour shortages, labour union leaders indicate. These include BC Hydro's $8.8 billion Site C dam and a proposed Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) project. Seismic upgrades under- way for Vancouver schools The Vancouver School Board says it will take several years and much money to successfully upgrade 69 schools to be able to withstand a major earthquake. CBC reports that 22 schools requir- ing upgrades are “about to proceed to construction” and the typical cost for improvements to an elementary school are $20 million. "We hope that we'll have our seis- mic upgrade done before the big one," VSB director of facilities Jim Meschino told the CBC. "When an earthquake will strike is anybody's guess. Our concern is, let's try and get as many done as we can." Education minister Peter Fassben- der has created a joint office with the school board, dedicated to the up- grades, CBC reported. "That would be the best thing we CONSTRUCTION ACROSS CANADA can do is to get more people working on these projects and to get more proj- ects happening at one time," Meschino said. ALBERTA Contractors of the Year recognized The province's Contractors of the Year were recognized at a recent Ed- monton gala. Kemway Contractors (2006) Ltd. won the award for general contractor under $50 million with PCL taking the over $250 million category in the event co-ordinated by Alberta Ventures Mag- azine and the Merit Contractors Asso- ciation. Other winners include: • Trade contractor under $15 million: EverLine Coatings and Services • Trade contractor over $15 million: Multh Electrical Management • Heavy civl contractor: Taurus Proj- ects Group • Construction Person of the Year: Brent Fillmore, president of Fil- more Construction. innovative approaches to urban devel- opment. Concord added that it is now ten- dering millions of dollars in construc- tion contracts in Calgary through the next 30 to 36 months of building, and that the development will create a new standard for innovative construction know-how. “As Calgary moves to becoming more urban-centric, the opportunities for great development here are as sig- nificant as they were in downtown Vancouver or Toronto two or three decades ago,” said Peter Webb, Con- cord's vice-president of development. “With location, international shop- ping, amenities, leisure infrastructure, natural beauty and a sophisticated market, Calgary has all the ingredients of becoming a great global city and Concord wants to play a leading role in helping the city grow while maintain- ing its strong sense of community and livability.” Despite the economy's downturn Major Calgary condo breaks ground despite oil price slump Concord Pacific broke ground in April on the first of two Calgary real es- tate developments – including a 14- storey condo development. The Concord, the company says in a news release, will together provide more than $1 billion in economic impact. Affirming its belief in the long-term Concord is optimistic about Calgary's long-term value, having been Canada's Western business hub for decades, and because of its young, well-edu- cated, and entrepreneurial population.

MANITOBA CSC Conference in Winnipeg May 27 to 31. The annual Construction Specifica- tions Canada (CSC) conference has been scheduled in Winnipeg from May 27 to 31. CSC represents an interdisciplinary group of architects, engineers, build- ing product and technology represen- tatives, and other professionals concerned with the specifications process. For more information, see http://csc-dcc.ca/Conferences. Red River College awarded $1.75 for building envelope research Red River College has been awarded $1.75 million over five years from the Natural Sciences and Engi- neering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) to establish the Centre for Building Envelope Performance (CBEP) at the Notre Dame Campus in Win- nipeg, the college has announced. CBEP is expected to significantly in- crease access to the college’s facili- ties, equipment, and expertise for Manitoba’s building industry, espe- cially small and medium-sized enter- prises whose products and services directly impact a building’s envelope. “This grant will provide a meaning- ful enhancement to our ability to serve Manitoba’s construction sector with advanced graduates and professional training, as well as fostering innovation in a critical component of building de- sign and construction,” said David Rew, interim president and CEO of Red River College. CBEP will be operated under Red River College’s School of Construction and Engineering Technologies, and will leverage the Centre for Applied Re- search in Sustainable Infrastructure as well as a previous $2.3-million five-year grant to conduct applied research on improving the energy performance of commercial buildings. ONTARIO PCL wins OGCA's best project recognition in OGCA's Ontario Builder Awards PCL Constructors Canada Inc.’s Toronto Pan Am Aquatics Centre has been named the best project built in Ontario for 2015 by the Ontario Gen- eral Contractors Association (OGCA). The OGCA’s Ontario Builder Awards, presented at the OGCA's Con- struction Symposium at Blue Moun- tain in April, showcases members’ recent and best projects, declaring one winner in each of six categories according to construction volume (from $5 million to more than $300 mil- lion). This year’s ceremony contained an element of surprise, as the associ- ation decided to choose an overall ‘Best of the Best’ project from amongst the winners. “It is an honour for PCL to receive OGCA’s inaugural distinction of the Best Project Built in Ontario for this legacy facility,” said PCL executive vice-president Chris Gower. “As one of the largest buildings constructed for the 2015 Pan Am/Para Pan Am Games, the project was achieved on time and on budget thanks to the power of in- novation and the collaborative relation- ships built between our team and multiple partners and stakeholders.” With a construction value of $160 million, the world-class facility is the largest new-build sports facility for the Pan Am Games and is considered the largest investment in Canadian ama- teur sport history. At 312,000 sq. ft., it includes seating for 8,000 spectators, two internationally sanctioned 10-lane 50-metre pools, a 5 m. deep diving tank, a four-court gymnasium, an in- door walking/running track, a climbing wall, conditioning rooms, a high per- formance testing centre, studio spaces, and a state-of-the-art fitness centre. Earlier this year, PCL accepted the Best of the Best Large Project Achievement Award by the Toronto Construction Association for the proj- ect, which was also recently certified LEED Gold by the Canada Green Build- ing Council. As design-builder, PCL worked closely with consultants, trade partners, sponsors and owners to complete the project in July, 2014 fol- lowing an aggressive 24-month sched- ule, enabling the facility to begin operations and complete testing events one year before the games. Bruce Reynolds begins Ontario Construction Lien Act review Bruce Reynolds has started his On- tario's Construction Lien Act (CLA) re- view as he prepares to consult with stakeholders sharing some common perceptions but with significant differ- ences about how the industry's pay- ment challenges should be resoled. The provincial government ap- pointed the Borden Ladner Gervais lawyer with colleague Sharon Vogel in February to conduct the CLA review after a failed attempt last year by asso- ciations representing sub trades to push through prompt payment legisla- tion, largely because of objections by several owners and the OGCA. Speaking at a special session within the OGCA Construction Symposium on April 10, Reynolds said the “expert review” will need to cover some “core issues which are very contentious” as he explores ways to modernize the four-decade-old CLA. “Where once you consider chang- ing the status quo, somebody is going The Canadian Design and Construction Report — April-May 2015 – 15
NEWS BRIEFS to like a proposed change very much, and somebody is not going to like a proposed change very much,” he said. He said the first phase of the review – identifying the stakeholders – is al- most complete. “We made the only sensible solution, to communicate through industry associations, profes- sional associations and other groups” concerned with the issues under re- view. “Although the primary mode of communication is with associations, we're taking an open and welcoming approach to anyone who gets in touch with us.” He said the review's next phase will commence when he and Vogel distrib- ute an “information package” to asso- ciations and interested individuals. He said the review will also explore how other provinces and other countries have addressed the issues, and “will raise points for consideration for po- tential solutions.” “My mandate is based on the proposition that everything is on the table up to and including the revoca- tion of the Construction Lien Act.” He said because he has been retained by the government as a lawyer and is not technically independent, “we are not intellectually constrained in what we ultimately recommend.” He said he has received a commit- ment from the government that “our report will be released to the industry promptly upon delivery,” by the end of the year.

NEW BRUNSWICK Broccolini wins PWGSC Miramichi project lion-dollar Champlain Bridge connect- ing St. Lawrence River south shore communities with Montreal. Other consortium members include US-based Flatiron Construction and two Spanish-based companies, ACS Infrastructures and Dragados Canada. The bridge is expected to cost be- tween $3 billion and $5 billion, with SNC-Lavalin's share between $1 billion and $1.5 billion. The company, with two of its sub- sidiaries, has been charged relating to the company's Libyan dealings be- tween 2001 and 2011, when one of its senior executives established close ties with Saadi Gaddafi, deposed dic- tator Muammar Gaddafi's son. Court documents allege the com- pany offered bribes worth $47.7 mil- lion “to one or several public officials of the ‘Great Socialist People’s Libyan Arab Jamahiriya,’” as Gaddafi called the nation he ruled until he was over- thrown and killed in 2011, the Financial Post reported in February. SNC and its subsidiaries SNC- Lavalin Construction Inc. and SNC- Lavalin International Inc. are also alleged to have defrauded various Libyan public agencies of approxi- mately $129.8 million. The bridge project is expected to open in December 2018. Regarding the corruption charges, federal infrastructure minister Denis Lebel reportedly said: “We had a rigor- ous verification. We work with facts, not accusations.” The project is expected to create 30,000 jobs. Broccolini announced in April suc- cess in winning a contract for the de- sign, construction, and leasing of a large-scale office building in Mi- ramichi, New Brunswick for the De- partment of Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC). Broccolini will design and build a three-storey LEED Gold certified office project with a gross constructible area of 132,000 sq. ft. The building will in- clude 114,000 sq. ft. of Class A office space. Construction is set to begin in June 2015 and will span over approximately 2.5 years. When complete, the build- ing will be entirely leased to PWGSC for a period of no less than 20 years. Broccolini has previously served as design-builder for two PWGSC LEED Gold certified buildings including the 484,000 sq. ft. 22 Eddy office tower project and the 690,000 sq. ft. 455 de la Carrière project, both in Gatineau, Quebec.

WIN-DOOR Win-door North America 2015: Fenestration industry's annual show has new exhibit hall and hours Canadian Design and Construction Report staff writer The fenestration industry's Win-door North America 2015, Nov. 3, 4 and 5, will move to a new exhibit hall and floor plan at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, South Building, Hall D. New show hours have been announced too. Geared to helping attendees get the most out of their time at Win- door, the show will open on Tuesday, Nov. 3 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., then runs Wednesday, Nov. 4 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Thursday, Nov. 5 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The floor plan has been revised to give attendees more time to talk to exhibitors, private places to stop and do business and more prominent locations for the Education Pavilion and the New Product Showcase. “Win-door 2015 will be the same great value you’ve come to expect,” said show manager Patrick Shield. There'll be free parking and free lunches. And, for ex- hibitors, free materials handling, free drayage and more. What other show gives you so much?” “Win-door delivers a powerful, qualified audience of window and door manufacturers from across North Amer- ica,” Shield said. “Visitors come for a first look at the newest products, to get the latest information and to ex- perience tomorrow’s trends.” 18 – April-May 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report “Win-door is where they can spec’ out new suppliers, stay abreast of industry changes and make buying deci- sions.” Keynote speaker Michael “Pinball” Clemons will kick off the show on opening day. Clemons, Toronto Argo's vice-chair, exemplifies the qualities of personal excellence, teamwork, community leadership and overcoming the odds. He started playing with the Argos in 1989, achieving a remarkable 12-year ca- reer in the CFL, before going on to coach the team. This summer, Clemons will serve as the “official quar- terback” of the volunteer team at the TO2015 Pan Am and Parapan Am Games. “Win-door 2015 will deliver all the great features that have made this show such an enduring success for the fenestration industry,” Shield said. The best value in learning is the Win-door Education Pavilion, he said.

WIN-DOOR LAURELWOOD MILLWORK: Curved frames and trim for fenestration industry Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature Laurelwood Millwork Ltd. in Mineseng Ontario has served a specialized niche within the fenestration industry for almost 30 years: Curved wooden frames and trim, including jam extenders and trim for vinyl-frame windows. “We're a simple company,” said founder Rob Rodgers in an interview from the company's 15,000 sq. ft. plant north of Barrie. “We identified a need years ago as a wholesale manufacturer to the trade.” In the the company's earlier years, most of the clients needed the half-round frames for traditional wooden doors and windows – and Laurelwood continues to provide these (including custom orders) for builders and renovators requiring them. Things shifted in the 1990s with the advent of vinyl frames – but Rodgers said his organization adapted, and provided the re- quired extenders, as well as providing appealing wooden trim. “The business has managed to flourish in a challenging mar- ket,” Rodgers said. “We found that sticking to our niche in the market allowed our customers to purchase their transoms from a neutral source.” “The way we’ve maintained our customers has been through getting it right the first time. The fact that we can get it done quickly is just a bonus.” For more information, see laurelwoodmillwork.com, email info@laurelwoodmillwork.com or phone (705) 737-5315.

WIN-DOOR REHAU leads in fenestration with CST, Passive House- compliant products and enhanced sound abatement Canadian Design and Constriction Report special feature REHAU, a leading provider of polymer- based solutions in construction, automotive and industry, continues to evolve as one of the top global providers of uPVC window and door designs, meeting increasing efficiency demands and introducing new products to meet the changing market. James Clavel, sales director for Eastern Canada, says the industry is focusing on structural and thermal performance, but reg- ulations are changing so rapidly and manu- facturers are working so quickly to catch up that the messages and terminology are get- ting muddled. “For instance, our products use compression-seal technology (CST) and while that has become a general term in the industry, it can be overlooked that ours is more compressible than most.” CST is a special gasket compressed be- tween the operable sash and frame of a window or door, which seals the joint by resisting air, noise and water infil- tration for thermal and acoustical performance. Pressure is applied to the gasket through the use of hardware. The hardware is positioned on both the sash and frame so the gasket is compressed, much like a car door. 22 – April-May 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report In addition to excelling in CST, REHAU goes beyond what is expected in other areas as well. “Passive house and net-zero construction are both gaining more attention,” he said. “We have products that meet passive house stan- dards, but they meet the more stringent Ger- man passive house standard, rather than the easier-to-achieve U.S. passive house require- ment.” Clavel says REHAU has parlayed its results to meet the German specification, as well as North American codes and standards to pro- vide superior energy efficiency and to give builders peace of mind that they are using properly tested and certified products. Besides energy savings and performance, REHAU has also taken an interest in products with better sound abatement, something Clavel says will become more important and sought after as urban sprawl increases. “We’re seeing increasing demand already from the manufacturer and builder side for our GENEO line. Through deeper frames with additional seals that provide the same sight lines, we offer window designs that meet high sound transmission coefficient (STC) and outdoor indoor trans- mission class (OITC) requirements.”
Other benefits include superior profile designs for higher structural ratings and better forced entry resistance. “Our uPVC frame and sash profiles are welded which al- lows for superior performance and a reduced risk of leak- age.” Never forgetting the creativity of architecture, REHAU also offers the System 2500 Lift-Slide Door, a unique prod- uct capable of four-panel configurations up to 32 ft. wide, with large operable sashes up to 10 ft. by 7 ft. weighing as much as 550 lbs that can be activated with minimal ef- fort. The door design features high-performance details like four-chamber profiles, a thermally broken threshold de- sign and CST technology for outstanding energy efficiency and sound abatement. Other products include System 4500 Tilt-Turn Windows and Doors which Clavel says offer a range of accessory profiles for joining and installation beyond anything else available in the industry. “We also have our System Äspekt Casement coming this fall. This will be our second com- mercial product after System 4500 offering a more North American alternative to the Tilt-Turn.” REHAU products offer a wide range of interesting archi- tectural finishes in a variety of configurations and colour options for both interior and exterior.

Canadian Association of Women in Construction celebrates 10 th anniversary Thriving, dynamic organization overcomes barriers and creates opportunities for relationships, community service From its early 1982 roots as the Toronto chapter 295 of the U.S.-based National Association of Women in Con- struction (NAWIC), the Canadian Association of Women in Construction (CAWIC) has grown to be a thriving and dy- namic organization representing approximately 200 mem- bers. Formed in 2005, this year CAWIC celebrates its tenth an- niversary with a look back at its evolution and accomplish- ments. FOUNDING HISTORY Elizabeth Johnston, the Toronto chapter's founding pres- ident, says CAWIC's early foundation reflected a significant concern in the industry at the time. “I came from Poland where gender was not an issue. Working alongside my husband in construction here I was surprised to find what a barrier it was and how isolating.” Starting the Toronto chapter proved initially as challeng- ing as working in the industry. Johnston says 15 women were required to officially create the chapter but it took more than a year to secure the minimum membership commitments, in part she believes because women feared the repercussions membership might have with their em- ployers. “There was also a sense among some of the women that they didn’t feel worthy of having their own as- sociation; didn’t see their value in the workplace.” Johnston added that then-Mississauga mayor Hazel Mc- Callion was a great supporter of the pioneering effort. The Canadian Design and Construction Report — April-May 2015 – 25
Canadian Association of Women in Construction celebrates 10 th anniversary However, even after the chapter launched, membership proved dif- ficult to sustain and grow. “For a long time we were lucky if we had 35 active members.” Johnston says the Toronto chap- ter's early goals were simple: gain acceptance and change men’s at- titudes toward women in the in- dustry; and recognize and support women who wanted to be what they wanted to be. She says she took on a lot of public speaking and worked closely with George Brown Col- lege to introduce a course called Introduction to Construction (with a reference book developed and published by NAWIC in the United States) for women or men plan- ning to pursue construction em- ployment. Toronto chapter members taught the course. The chapter also worked with the Ontario Women’s Direc- torate, developing a blueprint for women in the construction industry, including guidelines for women and employers. It also introduced employment equity measures, intended to improve the economic status and representation of women in the workforce. A second publication, issued jointly with the Industrial Ac- cident Prevention Association, addressed the need for per- sonal protective equipment specifically for women. “Those were the pioneering times for women entering into the fields which were up to that time consider strictly-male domain.” Over time and through initiatives like these, the Toronto chapter gained industry confidence and support, and grew its membership base, as well as its outreach. Then the founding members decided, with NAWIC's sup- port, to launch a wholly Canadian association, focused more squarely on the needs of women in the Canadian construction industry. The path to acceptance and raising awareness had 26 – April-May 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report been built. ESTABLISHING CAWIC Colleen Sheridan-Shannon is one of CAWIC’s founding members who had originally been involved with the Toronto NAWIC's former Toronto chapter. “NAWIC is about providing support and a voice to women in the industry,” she said. “We didn’t want to change that but wanted to have autonomy and do things more suited to the Canadian environment.” She calls the formation of CAWIC a labour of love on the part of its founders, adding that sorting out and finalizing all of the details of the new association was both challenging and time consuming. “It was something we all really believed in so we worked hard to make it a reality.” Even in 2005, she says women were a definite minority in the industry. While it wasn’t hard to get women to join, finding these women still proved a challenge. “By this time there was great support from the men in the industry and from employ- ers so women didn’t fear joining.” CAWIC founding president Angela Wilson calls the associ- ation's founding a “bold step by its then board, president and the membership who voted to create it.” She says with the blessing of NAWIC, along with seed money from the many chapters throughout the U.S., CAWIC was created. Founding member Mira Fabian agrees that growth in the early days came easily, saying membership just seemed to evolve and grow naturally. “It was hard to pinpoint but the at- mosphere was always enthusiastic and welcoming, we en- couraged guests, they experienced the camaraderie and friendship CAWIC offered and our numbers grew.” She says what also grew to be enormous was the mailing list of both members and non-members interested in CAWIC. “It probably also helped that our membership (fee) has always been deliberately low compared with other professional as- sociations. That has always been a conscious decision and we were always very proud to be able to offer such a low fee.” She indicates that networking – specifically meeting with other women experiencing similar challenges working in a male-dominated industry -- has always been the greatest membership benefit.
Canadian Association of Women in Construction celebrates 10 th anniversary These relationships have additional advantages. “Our golf tournament has always been a very successful fundraising ini- tiative which extends beyond our doors and our bursary pro- gram has gotten bigger and bigger with time, giving out more money and more bursaries,” Fabian said. Wilson says additional benefits come from opportunities to volunteer within the association. “Anyone can aspire to be- come a board member or even president. This gives women a chance to experience these roles within an association, to give back and to become role models for other women in the industry.” Debbie Wadsworth, another NAWIC Toronto Chapter mem- ber and early member of CAWIC who later became the asso- ciation's second president, says in the early days: “There were a lot of events focused around continuing education with speakers on a variety of topics. Over time more of a network- ing and social focus has been added.” This shift in focus has both invigorated membership growth and provided a basis for many of the benefits Wadsworth sees in the association today. She says CAWIC is, among other things, a great place to find a mentor and to learn about cross-disciplinary fields. “Many sectors of the industry are still siloed but CAWIC erodes those silos,” she said “There is an opportunity to meet with people and to talk about things you don’t have the op- portunity to during the regular course of work.” Wadsworth says she has always taken the opportunity to invite her own colleagues to association events and over time has seen a growing number of men and corporations become members as well. Asked to identify CAWIC’s greatest strength or event, Wadsworth says there is none, and that in itself is its greatest advantage. “There is no one particular program or discipline or event that is most important. Depending on the stage of your career and your own personal needs, CAWIC is many dif- ferent things. It is a flexible and dynamic association that meets the needs of its members when they join and as they grow in their fields.” Catya Covassin says her passion for construction led her to join the Toronto chapter 13 years ago where she joined the board of directors, as a director and chair of the Toronto chap- ter’s final holiday gala. From there she says she worked tire- lessly with other visionaries to ensure CAWIC became a reality and then took terms as director and vice-president. She also helped organize and chaired several events. While the original Toronto NAWIC chapter initially struggled to maintain its membership, Covassin says in CAWIC’s first two years, the association grew to roughly 200 members. She says CAWIC was initially launched as an organization for women to connect, network and exchange ideas and chal- lenges. “CAWIC brings together women from all fields and facets of construction and supplements their professional or- ganizations while providing an enriching environment.” She says it also works to connect with industry to provide benefits and opportunities to its members. “Without a doubt CAWIC’s strength is its members and industry support,” she said. “CAWIC’s ability to facilitate the success of women in construction remains true to its cornerstone principles of lead- ership, mentorship, membership and partnership.” That industry support has been evident since CAWIC’s launch event on April 25, 2006 where more than 350 attended to show their support. Covassin says as CAWIC continues to grow, marking its first decade in the industry, expansion with additional chapters will be a positive challenge. “Membership, retention, involvement and growth will always be key in ensuring CAWIC’s success.” COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS : HABITAT FOR HUMANITY While CAWIC supports and engages women and the indus- try, its community connections are also key. Covassin says the association’s second annual golf tournament partnered with Habitat for Humanity. One of Habitat's new home recipients gave a heartbreaking speech about the family’s journey. Habi- tat for Humanity has remained one of CAWIC’s community partners throughout the years. Julie Pigat has only been a member of CAWIC for two years, but as branch manager with United Rentals Power HVAC, and one of the team leaders of the company’s em- ployee resource group Women United for Canada; she is a strong advocate and supporter of the association. “United Rentals supports associations like CAWIC and in my various roles I certainly encourage women to join the as- sociation and to get involved.” Pigat says through CAWIC women find a networking re- source unlike any other group. With a membership built pri- marily on women and focused on women in the industry, she says it is a place to share trials and tribulations, to get infor- mation and to share ideas for change. In her own career, she experienced challenges as a woman trying to break into the male-dominated profession and says it took one employer willing to give her a chance. Now with United Rentals, a leader in diversity hiring, she says she has many female colleagues and that together they have a very supportive and positive work environment. . “One of the best experiences of my life was a women’s build for Habitat for Humanity that was arranged through CAWIC and sponsored by United Rentals. It was a great ini- tiative where a terrific group of women that I am honoured to call my colleagues came together to take part in this incredi- ble day. We all want to participate in something like that again. Being part of that group of women coming together for such a worthwhile cause was an amazing experience.” The Canadian Design and Construction Report — April-May 2015 – 27
Canadian Association of Women in Construction celebrates 10 th anniversary CAWIC TODAY: LEVEL BEST CAWIC is in the midst of an important industry initiative, the CAWIC Level Best Women’s Advancement Project, led by chair and board member Tammy Evans. Level Best is a 36- month project funded by Status of Women Canada and launched in January 2014 to conduct research and develop a targeted, measurable action plan for Canadian construction industry employers, trade and alternative unions to increase hiring, retention and advancement of women into leadership roles within the industry. Dr. Kellie Leitch, Minister of Labour and Status of Women says : “Our government recognizes the important role women play in our economy and is committed to creating new eco- nomic opportunities for them to prosper in every sector, in- cluding the skilled professional trades. This is good for women, good for industry and good for the Canadian econ- omy.” Phase one of Level Best involved establishing partnerships with leading industry stakeholders and cross-Canada recruit- ment calls for female participants and employer partners. Phase two will involve targeted research led by a profes- Proud to part of the CAWIC success! 28 – April-May 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report

Phase three will reveal the action plan developed in collaboration with the industry and in the final stage, project partners will be encouraged to implement the action plan within their work environment, culminating with a final report to the industry and the federal Status of Women ministry. “This project presents an excellent opportunity for the in- dustry to collaborate and bring about much needed change, to take active steps to increase women’s representation and movement into leadership roles within the industry,” Evans says. For more information on the CAWIC Level Best project, contact levelbest@cawic.ca. Meanwhile CAWIC’s impact on the industry and its impor- tant initiatives, such as the mentorship program and annual student bursary program, continue to grow. Supporting its mandate to promote leadership and encour- age women to pursue careers in the industry, CAWIC holds a number of fundraisers annually. Funds are channeled into op- erations and/or directly into the bursary fund to support re- cipients in post-secondary construction-related programs. “CAWIC was and is a valuable resource for women in the construction industry,” said Johnston. “It provides resources to orient young women from education to opportunities and it provides a strong base of information from across the in- dustry.” Sheridan-Shannon says: “CAWIC’s membership continues to grow. It is a strong group and remains an experience I have always been very grateful to have had.” Wilson says the diversity of the association’s membership has led to some of the most amazing site visits, programs and events; all activities she would not have experienced without the women who work in the industry. “CAWIC is an amazing group of women who are always ready to help and support each other, to share freely their experiences no mat- ter what their position or ability and despite their own chal- lenges and family commitments. To see the association achieve 10 years of success is truly wonderful.” Covassin says she and CAWIC’s other founding members (Angela Wilson, Dunya Lackovic, Cathy Chant, Mira Fabian, Colleen Shannon, Anna Basile, Doris McKeogh, Elizabeth Johnston and Nathalie Alloul) are all looking forward to cele- brating CAWIC’s tenth anniversary and its milestones. Evans notes that March 8 was International Women's Day and the theme this year is 'Make it happen.' Evans says: "It is critically important now more than ever that women across all industries work collaboratively and actively to not only raise awareness of policies and practices that negatively im- pact women's success, but that we stand together as a strong agent of change."

President and CEO John Mollenhauer says the association is a proud partner of CAWIC for a great many reasons, not the least of which is the extraordinary work CAWIC does on behalf of women in construction. TCA recently awarded CAWIC presi- dent Tammy Evans with the 2014 Best of the Best Community Leader Award in recognition of her work in the industry through both her construction law prac- tice, as well as her years on the Board of Directors of CAWIC. “TCA recognizes that seeking oppor- tunities to facilitate the long term suc- cess of women in construction includes both attracting and keeping women in the industry, as well as ensuring their progression into leadership roles, which ultimately pays enormous dividends in an industry that needs new qualified people now more than ever,” he said, adding, “We congratulate CAWIC on its first ten years of success.” The Canadian Design and Construction Report — April-May 2015 – 29
Canadian Association of Women in Construction celebrates 10 th anniversary General Contractors’ Section, Toronto partners with CAWIC to encourage women to pursue professional construction management careers Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature The General Contractors’ Section, Toronto (the Section), joined CAWIC as a member and sponsor in January 2014, shortly after it independently in- corporated from the Toronto Construc- tion Association (TCA). The Section represents Toronto-based employers in the negotiation and administration of six civil trade collective agreements covering ICI construction. Director Jim Vlahos says the Sec- tion is proud to be a partner and ex- cited to work with CAWIC as part of its education initiative. 30 – April-May 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report “We became aware of CAWIC while operating as a section of the TCA,” he said. “We are constantly seeking out the best and brightest to encourage them to pursue professional careers in construction management, including engineering, architecture and project estimating. We believe our relationship with CAWIC will help us to encourage more women to pursue such careers, most hopefully with our own member companies.” Despite its short relationship, Vla- hos says the Section has already cre- ated and implemented a General Contractors’ Section bursary in 2014, which will provide financial assistance
Canadian Association of Women in Construction celebrates 10 th anniversary and recognize the academic achieve- ment of female students in post-sec- ondary institutions who aspire to careers in construction related fields. In order to qualify he says, candidates must show clear career objectives re- lating to the construction industry, leadership qualities and involvement in community activities, as well as a gen- uine interest in activities that further the advancement of women in con- struction. He says 10 years is both a long and short time for any association. “Long in the sense that it shows the associa- tion’s purpose has withstood the test of a decade, is meeting a genuine need and receiving input and support from the industry it’s operating within to thrive.” He says 10 years is also short in the sense that its roots haven’t gotten too long, and it is still able to grow and move and adapt in a way that will con- tinue to serve its members and stake- holders and respond to ever-changing societal interests and priorities. “CAWIC brings a renewed sense of energy and a real enthusiasm to make progress in the encouragement and advancement of women in construc- tion,” he said, adding that the current Level Best Women’s Advancement Project is of vital importance and will go a long way by creating an action plan to better retain, promote and en- courage women into construction ca- reers. The Section also appoints employer trustees to jointly trusteed multi-em- ployer benefit plans providing benefits to workers and Section staff contribute their services to a broad range of other associations, councils and boards of like purposes at the municipal, provin- cial, national and international level. He says the Section was proud to be asked to participate in Level Best and he was particularly honoured to be asked to provide input on behalf of the Section’s employers, who range from the largest general contractors in the country, to smaller contractors serving particular niche markets within the ICI sector. “We look forward to a long and mu- tually beneficial partnership with CAWIC and wish them the best for years to come.” BILD impressed with CAWIC's growing presence and influence for women in the industry Though BILD (Building Industry and Land Development Association) and CAWIC didn’t formalize their relationship until 2011, the connection between the associations existed long before through shared members. BILD president and CEO Bryan Tuckey says: “Not only are BILD members active in construction across the GTA and invested in women in construction, so too are BILD staff, many of whom are in- volved in aspects of the construction process as it relates to new home building.” Tuckey says it is clear that CAWIC has a strong mandate, with serious minds at work dedicated to improving the status of Canadian women in construction. He says year-over-year BILD is continually impressed with the growing presence of CAWIC as an association represent- ing women in the industry. He says CAWIC has achieved its greatest strength in the ability to con- nect not only with CAWIC members who are learning and growing in their own sole proprietorships, but also in making inroads with the Government of Canada, large construction firms, and the trades. “CAWIC brings voices from across the industry together, speaking on behalf of women and their issues, challenges and strengths.” He says the people working on be- half of the association are clearly dedicated to fostering CAWIC’s solid reputation as the indus- try leader for women in this field and BILD sees that and applauds it. “CAWIC is a resource dedicated to women like no other. Its wingspan means it can connect women and supporters at all levels, in order to teach about the needs of women in con- struction.” Tuckey says the association also forces the industry to think about itself in a way that may not have happened previously, by putting women's issues front and centre. “We’re proud to be associated with CAWIC, and look forward to working to- gether to foster leadership in women across the construction industry for years to come,” he said.

WOMEN IN CONSTRUCTION Meghann Miller Vanway Cabinets Ltd. general manager develops client service and family-owned business employee teamwork 32 – April-May 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report
Canadian Design and Construction Report Meghann Miller joined the Prince George, B.C.-based Vanway Cabinets Ltd. when her father bought the busi- ness. Starting slowly and learning the business along the way, she is now the family business’ general manager Before joining Vanway, Miller had worked as a service advisor in the au- tomotive industry so she knew service and working with people suited her personality. “With Vanway I now over- see 22 to 28 employees from the de- sign process to the installation process and follow up.” She says that although she is see- ing more women in trades and con- struction now, the experience between men and women in the in- dustry differs. “Being a woman in this industry requires you to gain the re- spect and trust of customers, as well as contractors. As a woman you have to work harder for that respect and trust more than if you were a man.” She says with time, and more women entering the field, that should change. Miller says when her father pur- chased Vanway, the company had a 25-year history in the industry. She says there were challenges in learning the business and taking the reins, while upholding the company's repu- tation. As well, she needed to stay on top of the new trends, colours and design ideas to keep up with the ever-chang- ing kitchen design market. “Imple- menting these changes within our sales division and with the shop per- sonnel who manufacture the cabinets takes effort,” she said. “Change is good, but also very challenging.” She says she enjoys the industry's diversity and she loves dealing with customers and contractors, putting their visions into new kitchens, baths and desks. Miller says she also enjoys her staff and that everyone works together as a team. “We are a family-owned and operated business and we try to treat our employees like family. I take great pride in the business I run and the product we manufacture.” Miller would certainly recommend the field to other women she says be- cause, although it’s challenging, it is also very rewarding. Her advice: “Be strong. Some days are going to be tough and stressful and you are going to make mistakes, but you will only learn from that.” Vanway Cabinets Ltd. is a member of the Canadian Home Builders’ Asso- ciation.

WOMEN IN CONSTRUCTION Nicole Bird Canadian Design and Construction Report defies obstacles and prejudice to succeed at Rsvp Design – Loewen Windows in Edmonton Loewen Windows who offered her a role. Along the way she was intro- duced to the dealer side of the busi- ness and knew that was where she wanted to be. She has been with the company now for 10 years and in Jan- uary took over ownership of the Loewen Window Centre of Edmonton. “Even though I am the owner I pre- fer to just think of myself as a sales professional. I love building long last- ing relationships with the builders, ar- chitects and homeowners, and that is truly my priority.” Bird says she believes she has one of the best jobs out there – looking at beautiful house plans and surrounded with design. Throughout her career she says she has always struggled to prove her worth against men. “I have been told that certain positions are not really supported to take maternity leave and I had one of my bosses give out his son's cards to a few of my cus- tomers.” She says it has been a challenge As owner and sales professional with Rsvp Design Inc. - Loewen Win- dow Centre of Edmonton, Nicole Bird has faced challenges, including get- ting into a profession held primarily by men. Early in her career, Bird started out in the construction industry at a local lumber company, where she worked for 10 years. During her time there, Bird requested a move into a sales po- sition at the order desk. At the time, it was not a position held by any women, and it was not encouraged for women to pursue the sales av- enue. Bird was denied a sales position several times, despite her experience, and what she calls her enthusiasm and entrepreneurial spirit. She says after much frustration she was approached by a salesman with 34 – April-May 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report but she feels it has been worth the struggle because it has made her stronger. “I feel that I have worked extra hard to prove myself. I love showing up on a jobsite and having the contractor look at me first as if I won't know much but by the end of our meeting relying on my expertise and knowledge.” She says her experience has been that women working in male-domi- nated industries are doubted, ques- tioned and often talked-down-to. “I have been told that I would not be suc- cessful as a sales person because of my gender, I have been told that I could not be hired for several positions because I am a woman, and I have proven them all wrong.” She says there is nothing more sat- isfying than being told "you can't" and then going out and doing it anyway; and doing it well, and in some cases, better than some of her male counter- parts. “We may have to work twice as hard, but the satisfaction of a job well done is twice as sweet.”
Bird employs another woman at Rsvp Design, but prefers to look to her as a co-worker and as a sales team- mate. As a business owner, Bird chal- lenges herself by balancing working in the business and working on the busi- ness. Bird offered “It is easy to get swept up in customers’ day-to-day needs, but it is also important to keep the big picture in mind.” She says despite the challenges she is living her dream job and wakes every morning looking forward to what the day will bring. “I get to work with a variety of customers and profession- als who are excited about creating a forever home with quality products and with an eye for revolutionary, sus- tainable, visionary and passionate proj- ects.” Bird says this is a great industry for women and a sales position may be a good fit for other females because of their ability to prioritize and build strong relationships. She says once a woman has proven herself and demonstrated her knowledge, many clients may prefer working with women because of the empathy, at- tention to detail and the personal re- sponsibility many bring to the job. Her advice: “Give it your all. Know your product in and out, always keep learn- ing and stay on top of developments in your field.” Bird says her company is just start- ing to get involved with CEASE (The Center to End All Sexual Exploitation in Edmonton). “Although their breadth is wide, a large portion of their social as- sistance goes to women in our com- munity who have been marginalized.” Bird says in her own life and career she does not believe in playing the vic- tim. “I believe everything we go through makes us who we become and I am extremely proud.” INNOVATION INSPIRED BY YOU Contact y our Loe w en Window Cont act your Loewen Windo w LOEWEN WINDOW W CENTRE OF EDMONT ON L OEWEN WINDO EDMONTON e an C Centre e ertn t t to o see how w w we e c can ho 9203 - 28th A Avenue, Edmonton, AB, T6N 1N1 v enue, Edmont on, P. 1.780.452.3753 E. nicolebird@rsvpdesigninc.ca a nic ol ebir d@r s vpdesigninc.c www.rsvpdesigninc.ca a www .rr s vpdesigninc.c help y you r realize your vision. ou ealize y our The Canadian Design and Construction Report — April-May 2015 – 35
WOMEN IN CONSTRUCTION Donna Moore discovers diverse challenges and excitement as CHBA — Calgary's chief executive officer Canadian Design and Construction Report staff writer Donna Moore has been with the Canadian Home Builders’ Association (CHBA) for 30 years. She is currently the Calgary region's chief executive of- ficer. Moore came to CHBA-Calgary with experience in the not-for-profit sector. Within construction, she found both challenges and excitement through the industry's ever-changing de- mands. “Whether the industry is on an upswing or a downturn, there’s always a challenge. And we’ve had both comparing the last year and this year.” Conditions are “so different, so it keeps you fresh and excited to find the answers that will con- tinue to keep your industry vi- brant and successful and to help build a great city and house the many different people who live here or move here to live.” Over the years, she says she has seen an increasing interest in women choosing the homebuild- ing industry as a career; some- thing she says is a wonderful thing. “When you think about it, women are the ones who are most often the decision-makers in the home buying process be- cause traditionally they have been the ones who are the care- takers of the home.” She says women are instru- mental in the design, functional- ity and organization of a home and are often the ones who are directly in- volved in running the household so it makes sense to see women taking part in the construction and design of homes from the ground up. “The industry has traditionally been male-dominated, so we are happy to see the change and encourage every- one to consider this as a career choice.” Moore says there is no other indus- try so diverse, exciting and interesting because of its many facets. From car- 36 – April-May 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report penters, to roofers and painters, to electricians, and from marketing spe- cialists, to designers, and mortgage brokers, to policy advisors, she says, there is something to interest every- one. She says there are many women in the industry who are very successful in their chosen careers, including many in upper management. The Canadian Home Builders’ As- sociation – Calgary Region represents more than 650 companies in all facets of new home construction, from sin- gle and multi-family builders, reno- vators, and residential land developers, to trades, suppliers, and professional companies in- volved in some aspect of home building. As many as 37,000 people work in the city's residential con- struction industry. The association supports ca- reers in the industry through its an- nual Student House Design Competition – now in its 44 th year. “This is at both high school and SAIT (Southern Alberta Institute of Technology) levels and where we award $8,000 in scholarships. Many of the winners are girls.” Moore says the association also sponsors several SAIT summer camps revolving around the home construction field, such as the Home Builders Design – for Girls in Grades seven to 12.

Lynn Harrison leads in marketing and relationship-building in Vancouver's home building industry Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature Lynn Harrison is president of B.C. - based Harrison Marketing Re- sources. She is also serving her third term as a Greater Vancouver Home Builders Association (GVHBA) direc- tor. Harrison says she has always been intrigued by the function and design of homes. Backed by an edu- cation in interior design, in the early 90s she worked for a company fo- cused on marketing and communica- tion efforts for builders. “One of our main clients, ParkLane Homes, an award-winning production builder, asked us to join them full- time,” she said. “It was an excellent environment in which to better under- stand the procedures of construction and marketing of a single family home, but also added the exciting process of building sustainable neigh- bourhoods.” Five years ago, she launched Harri- son Marketing Resources to focus on working with smaller builders and ren- ovators to market their unique brands. Although she recognizes the indus- try is still dominated by men, she says she has never let that influence her at- titude or approach. “The majority of the people that I meet and work with are very professional and passionate about the industry, just as I am.” She says it is not uncommon to have women in the sales and market- ing side of the construction industry, but in the last five to 10 years she has also noticed more women are enter- ing the construction trades. “It is still very male-dominated on the actual construction sites though,” she said. “For those companies who have women on their sites, they seem to have no issue with gender, they just want good work done.” She says from her own observa- tions the success of women on-site is more about the professional attitude of site management and the workers themselves - of both genders. “I also see more women going into trades and construction management training. With stronger demand for skilled workers, I think that there will be good opportunities ahead.” Harrison believes this demand will cause some change in old attitudes about who a ‘typical builder’ is. “Person- ally I don’t believe in hiring a woman be- cause she’s a woman, but because she’s the best person for the job.” Harrison says she has always been a supporter of GVHBA and as involved as she could as her career grew and evolved. She has been on GVHBA board of directors for the past eight years, chairing and partici- pated in numerous standing commit- tees and task forces. She was also chair of GVHBA in 2014. She says the association pro- motes the industry and encourages young people of both genders to get involved in all facets of construction. “We recognize that there is going to be a shortage of skilled workers in the future and we want to promote our industry as a viable career op- tion.” GVHBA partners with educational institutions, as well as promoting in- volvement of the younger employees in association events and commit- tees. The U40 committee for instance she says has been successful in bring- ing out a younger demographic to GVHBA events, getting them involved and listening to their ideas for the as- sociation. Harrison is also a member of the executive board of the Canadian Home Builders Association – British Columbia and the current chair of the CHBA-BC Marketing Committee. “I’m proud to be a member of this professional organization for the last 25 years. Throughout all the ups and downs of the housing industry, we never lost our focus on promoting the professionalism of the members and benefits for our consumers.” The Canadian Design and Construction Report — April-May 2015 – 37
WOMEN IN CONSTRUCTION Silveria Roselli combines marketing, management and development skills as Tavan Developments COO “I was approached by Tavan Developments when they were looking to expand their business and, having gone through the process of building my own two luxury homes, I was very inter- ested.” Roselli says she was encouraged to take the position by a fe- male client in the development industry, who suggested her man- agement and business experience would support her success. She says earning the respect of the industry took time. “The fact remains that in this industry the job sites and boardrooms are comprised of primarily men.” She says she feels she has had to gain trust and confidence from the industry in her capabilities. However she says she has developed strong relationships over the years. As COO and general manager of Tavan, Roselli has driven the business's strategic direction and high standards, while guiding its growth. The company has been recognized with various awards locally, provincially and nationally during her tenure. Representing the company working with financial stakehold- ers, investors and banks and, through a well-crafted business plan, she has led Tavan to fiscal sales and target acquisition goals. Roselli uses a long-term, fact-based approach towards managing the business with a strong understanding of people, organizational function, strategy and a strong business insight. Internally, she says she persistently develops and applies process improvements to enhance Tavan’s competitive position and efficiency. “My management style is to promote an environment that fos- ters team-work, communication, and accountability, with staff, trades and associates alike. I also build and maintain strong rela- tionships with partners and suppliers.” Silveria Roselli has translated a diverse career in marketing, management and development into a successful role as chief op- erating officer (COO) and general manager for Vancouver-based Tavan Developments. Over the years Roselli worked as marketing manager with the Vancouver Canucks and then went on to work with various com- panies including Studio B Productions, Curve Communications and the Canadian Cancer Society. 38 – April-May 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report
Understanding her own challenges and successes, Roselli says she would recommend construction and devel- opment careers to other women, calling the industry high- energy, exciting and rewarding. She says women bring different perspectives to situations and approaches to solu- tions. “In recent years there has been a push for more women in our industry to bring fresh perspectives on busi- ness development and organization. Enhancing each other’s strengths will result in positive results.” Her advice to women considering a career in the field: “Dedicate yourself to continuous learning. There are al- ways new and exciting things to discover and experience. Be innovative, think outside the box and be different than the others. Always contribute to professional and personal growth. It is necessary and paramount to your success in this industry.” She says the industry has been rewarding to her on many different levels. Working with Troy Van Vliet, principal of Tavan Developments, she says has been provided an invalu- able opportunity. “It is great to work around people who share the same values, philosophies and level of energy,” she said. “I per- sonally have found my experience as a woman in this in- dustry to be incredible. Even though there have been challenges, there are no serious roadblocks that can hinder my success.” Roselli is a member of the Urban Development Institute (UDI), the Greater Vancouver Home Builders Association (GVHBA) and the Canadian Home Builders Association (CHBA).

ARUP DATTA ARCHITECT LTD. – Calgary, Alberta Successful practice integrates careful client-focused conceptual designs into local and international projects Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature Arup Datta, founding principal of Calgary-based ARUP DATTA ARCHITECT LTD. (ADAL), has more than 40 years’ experience providing architectural, master planning, urban design and interior design services. Internationally known, Datta has received many awards for his work and has been involved with notable projects around the globe. Prior to founding ADAL in 1988, Datta worked with sev- eral other firms across Canada, developing diverse experi- ence in high quality projects and working with top developers for small to large commercial and residential fields. Before moving to Calgary, Datta worked in St. John, NB. In Alberta as a project/design architect, he worked on 40 – April-May 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report two twin tower projects, Western Canadian Place and The Bankers Hall and was the senior project architect on the Mall of America project and phases three and four of West Edmonton Mall, two of the largest malls in the world. His diverse experience has been complimented by proj- ect management experience, which allows him unique per- spective and in the end, an opportunity to deliver high quality projects on time and on budget and to his clients’ unique specifications. Datta founded ADAL based on the business model for a small to medium-sized firm. Despite the company’s suc- cess he has stuck with that vision as a way to maintain control and the high quality he says he has become known for. “We have a core group of key staff and have never grown beyond about 15. This way we ensure the
processes and systems we follow to achieve our end goal.” He says each project begins with detailed discussions with clients to be sure he understands their needs, intent, the end user needs, budget and any other constraints. He also looks at the site to understand its unique parameters and constraints. “I understand every client and every proj- ect is unique so we have a well-defined design process that begins with making sure we thoroughly understand the client and their end goal.” ADAL acts as prime consultant, bringing in top quality consultants to further ensure the project’s success. Datta says consultation and brainstorming with the core team begins before design concepts are ever put to paper. This process he say brings everything out into the open early so there are no surprises and a design can be created to suit the exact budgeting constraints with full knowledge of all of the processes and issues laid out. This unique process in developing conceptual designs, Datta says, is something he has become known for. Functional design and effective planning is only part of success though. Datta says follow through is the most im- portant part of this design process and that translates to a systematic approach to everything from design to approval of permits to its implementation. “The execution plan im- plementation is critical,” he said. ADAL is experienced with LEED but Datta says he rec- ognizes many clients do not have the time or money to put into certification. Instead he says energy efficiency and sustainability is at the core of every design he creates to ensure clients are getting the best possible building he can deliver. ADAL has been recognized with The Americas Property Awards 2014 – 2015 in Retail Architecture for the Lexus South Pointe Project, Edmonton, AB. The company was also recognized with The Americas Property Awards 2014 – 2015 in Architecture for the Multiple Residence for the Callaghan Ravines Project, Edmonton, AB. Datta has been involved in projects throughout North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East, including: a master plan for 8.5 million sq. ft. of a 170-acre mixed-use property; a 400-room luxury hotel in Kuala Lumpur; 109 acres of residential development in Bedaihe, China; 1.1 million sq. ft. for an information technology park in Chen- nai, India; a major multi-generational housing project in Cal- gary, Canada; and the $500 million Environmental Centre Project in Nice, France.

Marcelo Guadalupe Acuña Coating industry leader receives CRSI Epoxy Industry Service Award Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature In March, the Epoxy Interest Group of the Concrete Re- inforcing Steel Institute (CRSI) announced Marcelo Guadalupe Acuña as the recipient of the Epoxy Industry Service Award. The award recognizes individuals who con- tribute time and effort to further the use of epoxy coated reinforcing steel. Acuña is president of ABC Coating Company, a busi- ness that spans many regions, with roots firmly grounded in the industry. In 1979 Acuña and his then partners Gerald Campbell and Don Benge formed ABC Coating Company Inc. He says they spoke with people who were using epoxy coat- ing on rebar, at that time on projects in New Mexico, learned the process, bought a plant, took it apart and moved it to Oklahoma, creating the first stand-alone epoxy- coated reinforcing steel coating plant in the world. “We had to go through quite a few trial runs to find the right powder for the job. It had to be flexible enough to meet the bend test and that wasn’t easy to find.” He says at the time there were not many powder sup- pliers and most epoxy then was used for pipe coating which did not provide the flexibility rebar required. 42 – April-May 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report In the early days, Acuña says Campbell handled sales while he did the fabrication work. With time and experience he says they learned how to coat eight bars at a time instead of one and began building their own production lines. “We played with the heat and speed of the line, fine tuning as we went to get the right results.” He says the company received valuable support from the mills who they worked closely with to develop a mate- rial that was straight and without sharp edges, in other words, a material that could be effectively coated. During production cycles, Acuña says they had to be on top of the work every minute to ensure the specifications were being met. As they gained experience, they added plants, in Michi- gan in 1980, and in Texas and Colorado in 1981. Over time the company made several other acquisitions in Denver and Michigan, and added another location in Washington, expanding its capabilities and footprint across the country. As they gained experience, they also gained attention. Acuña says they had representatives from Japan coming to look at their plants and inquiries from Saudi Arabian rep- resentatives looking to have similar plants built there.
When Campbell died in 1996, the remaining partners re- solved the company and Acuña became sole owner of the Oklahoma and Michigan plants. In 2001, Acuña grew his holdings to include ABC Coat- ing Company of Minnesota, Inc. and in 2003, ABC Coating Company of Illinois, Inc. was added. Over the years Acuña says the industry has become more technical and the specifications more intense. He says ABC’s clients are buying a product that needs to last and stand up, especially in the northern states against salt and de-icing mixes. The company works with transportation departments in several states and must adapt its own processes to meet local requirements. “Some inspectors have different pref- erences. Some inspect in-house before materials are shipped, some pre-approve materials, and some inspect each and every load and sheet number prior to shipping.” Acuña says his team meets regularly with state repre- sentatives to find out what their needs are, to discuss changes or concerns and upcoming project requirements. The CRSI announcement noted that throughout his ca- reer “Marcelo has provided his time and financial support to the CRSI epoxy plant certification program and ASTM meetings. He has continuously been a strong supporter of the programs of the Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute (CRSI).” the Washington plant operational when he was just in his teens and the others came on at various times over the years. “I’m very proud to have my family involved and proud of them. They knew it would be hard work but they have all been committed to being part of the company and of doing the work that requires.” He says some of his grandchildren are now in college and he hopes some will choose to join the family business after graduation as well. “In this highly competitive industry of corrosion resist- ance, it is important we continue to improve our materials and our processes to stay competitive and to stay eco- nomical for our project partners. I am proud to have my family with me in this endeavor.” Epoxy-Coated Reinforcing Steel Follow us on COST-EFFECTIVE CORROSION PROTECTION EPOXY INTEREST GROUP Acuña has been involved over 40 years in many initia- tives to keep the industry advancing. Recently he has been involved with a group seeking alternative sources to fund infrastructure development and sits as a committee mem- ber for coating certifications. The CRSI award announcement further says: “Many members of his family are involved in the ongoing opera- tion of four plants started by Marcelo and his partners, and he has mentored them with a strong commitment to prod- uct quality. He has also mentored many others in the in- dustry.” Acuña’s sons Marcelo and David, his daughters Rose and Sylvie Rocha, his son in law Fred Rocha, and his grand- son Freddy Rocha are all involved in various locations and in a variety of capacities within the company from data entry to dispatch to plant management. He says his son-in-law David, the oldest, has been with the company for many years, beginning when Acuña worked in the concrete industry.

2015 Vancouver Roofing industry, contractors, suppliers and manufacturers congregate for learning and relationship-building Canadian Design and Construction Report staff writer ROOFTech 2015, the Canadian Roofing Exposition, held May 5 and 6 this year at the Vancouver Convention Centre (East building), provided a special opportunity for roofing contractors, suppliers and manufacturers to congregate, learn, do business and build relation- ships. This year’s event also offered increased opportunities for con- tinuing education credits. Canadian Roofing Contractors’ Association (CRCA) executive director Bob Brunet says the show, held every two years, rotates be- tween Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal. This year, for the first time, each day’s seminars and all six of the two-day demonstrations, counted towards continuing education for attendees. “All eight ses- sions count towards AIBC (Architectural Institute of British Colum- bia) and RCI credit,” he said. One seminar, called Wind Uplift – The Next Big Lift, was pre- sented by Josh Jensen, associate and head of the roofing division at JRS Engineering, and focused on “designing roofing to properly withstand the forces of wind that acts upon the building” including NBC (National Building Code of Canada) design requirements and how they relate to the CSA A123.21 testing standard. The second seminar, presented by Patrick Roppel, manager of the Building Performance Analysis Department within the Building Science Division at Morrison Hershfield, focused on controlling mold growth in ventilated wood-frame attics in cool marine cli- mates. Registration for the show was strong, Brunet said, with all of the seminars sold out in advance and all of the booth space sold. “We haven’t been in Vancouver since 1999 so there has been a lot of buzz.” Recognizing the local interest, Brunet says the show’s steering committee included a number of local members who were able to advise on provincially-related issues and topics. “A lot of the demon- strations were geared to B.C.,” Brunet said. “Liquid applied water- proofing for instance was one demonstration with a local focus.” One special demonstration Brunet says went on throughout the show at booth 300, where attendees could observe architectural sheet metal installation. Other demonstrations included thermo-plastic, EPDM (ethylene propylene diene terpolymer), steep slope and modified bitumen roof- ing systems, along with a green roofing demonstration. Brunet says ROOFTech has always been a big industry relation- ship-building draw. “Where else can you meet and shake the hand of just about every supplier to the roofing industry?” Away from the show, Brunet says a long winter has resulted in a slow start for much of the industry, in particular in Eastern Canada. Industry wide, concerns about labour issues and prompt payment are still at the forefront for many. ROOFTech will return to Toronto in 2017. For more information, visit www.rooftech.ca.

Saskatchewan Roofing Contractors Association More than a half century of training, information and technological expertise to elevate industry standards Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature Established in 1963, the Saskatchewan Roofing Con- tractors Association (SRCA) holds the same goals today as in its infancy: to provide members with access to train- ing, information and technological expertise to maintain high professional standards. Along the way the association has grown and adapted to new demands and interests. Today, SRCA president Lindsay Pochynuk says recruitment, competition and safety are key concerns. “Roofing is a demanding job that can be physical and messy. Although it’s a good living for good work, it isn’t one of those ‘attractive’ trades that immediately comes to mind for young people.” Even within the association, Pochynuk says there is ev- idence of a changing of the guard reflecting the industry, as older members retire and move on and leave voids that need to be filled. Where Pochynuk is now president, his father Wayne once held the position. He says further complicating the labour shortage has been the province’s decision to cut foreign worker pro- grams which he says could always be relied on to pro- vided needed labour. “Many people come to the 46 – April-May 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report industry and stay,” he said “My company is 50 years old and I have some people who have been with us 40 years. There is also a transient nature to the business though and people will come, try it and be gone again fairly shortly after.” Pochynuk says he works with high schools talking to students about the industry in the hopes of encouraging them into trades but adds that the lack of a formal appren- ticeship program within the province has added additional challenges. He says there had been an informal program through the community colleges but that was cancelled and nothing has stepped in yet to replace it. “SRCA actually responded to an RFP to provide an ap- prenticeship program but it would have been too costly. We’ve been lobbying for four years now to get a program reinstated and will keep working on it.” The lack of a formal program creates challenges be- yond numbers though as companies carry sole responsi- bility for providing training and certification. SRCA fills some of the void, working with manufactures to provide training sessions so members can acquire the skills and techniques they need. The association also provides its members with torch safety training, delivered in conjunc- tion with the Saskatchewan Safety Association.
The association is also taking steps to improve safety within the in- dustry. Pochynuk says it is only within the last 10 years that fall safety has become mandatory. “Until then if you were working on a flat roof and were of sound mind and body, fall arrest protection wasn’t re- quired. Now guardrails and a more in-depth investment in safety is re- quired.” In a region where many of the contractors are smaller businesses and where many of them have been in operation for decades, this kind of substantial change can be difficult. Pochynuk says the association is en- couraging all members to achieve COR (Canadian Federation of Con- struction Safety Association’s Certifi- cate of Recognition) certification but he says that effort is still in its in- fancy. Pochynuk says Saskatchewan small business owners are addition- ally challenged with a boom that seems to be over and competition from larger Ontario and other out-of- province companies which have set up shop locally. He says the association will con- tinue its focus on training, safety and career attraction, and on staying con- nected with the industry-at-large through common events and activi- ties.

SAHURI + Partners Architecture Inc. DESIGN FOR LIFE OYEN SENIORS LODGE SOUTH STATION FIRE HALL NO.5 TERWILLEGAR COMMUNITY RECREATION CENTRE WEST LETHBRIDGE CENTRE CROSSINGS BRANCH PUBLIC LIBRARY Creating thoughtful, sustainable community spaces within a diverse portfolio of projects Canadian Design & Construction Report staff writer Calgary-based SAHURI + Partners Architecture Inc. is a professional, full-service architecture and design firm that approaches every project with a simple philosophy: design for life – where the design vision doesn’t end when con- struction ends, it only begins. As creative, performance-oriented architecture and de- sign professionals, SAHURI + Partners considers the unique vision of each client, and explores and builds on dy- namic, sustainable architectural solutions. COLLABORATION FOR A UNIQUE APPROACH The constant focus of the 35 plus employee studio prac- tice is on achieving design excellence and incorporating sustainable innovation. They achieve this objective through a collaborative, client-focused communication process which includes questioning original concepts where nec- 48 – February-March 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report essary and encouraging thoughtful, new options to achieve higher standards. “In architecture we see opportunities to put new ideas into action,” says Tim Sahuri, principal, architect, and cre- ative authority of the firm. “We endeavour to add appealing and interesting features to each practical, functional de- sign without significantly increasing project costs. Initially, these ideas can be a hard sell. But in the end, the new ap- proaches work well.” The firm’s expertise encompasses all aspects of the ar- chitectural process, from master planning, site evaluation and feasibility studies, through the design and construc- tion documentation phases, to the final selection of fin- ishes and fittings. The company's work spreads across the architectural spectrum of civic, community, educational, commercial, industrial, and residential projects, and the team enjoys the journey and discovery of each project’s unique qualities and opportunities.
ROTARY CHALLENGER PARK - JIM & PEARL BURNS CENTRE The special attention paid to each urban context, budg- etary and schedule concern, and rigorous project manage- ment form the basis of SAHURI + Partners’ project execution. “Our goal is to collaborate closely with each client, and to explore and respond to their needs,” says Joanne Smith, partner, architect, and business manager. “Through the design process, we ensure every stakeholder has a voice, and every project is based on the integration between the creative team, the client, and the site itself.” As members of a community that thrives on the Alberta oil and gas industry, the firm also has abundant experience in designing large-scale energy sector administration and production facilities. After touring facilities designed by SAHURI + Partners in this sector, energy industry leaders have appreciated the company's quality design solutions and have commissioned the firm to design similar projects for their respective companies. PRIORITIZING SUSTAINABILITY As a committed adopter of sustainable design early in his career, Tim Sahuri was among the first architects in the industry to become a LEED® Accredited Professional with the Canada Green Building Council and U.S. Green Building Council. With this long-running environmental focus, the firm ensures many of its projects are designed to meet LEED® and other environmental program standards. “We have high expectations for our work and believe in a responsibility to the community and the environment in equal measure,” says Sahuri. “Our commitment to sustain- able design serves as a foundation to all the projects we take on.” His team is comprised of diversely skilled people who are as passionate as they are creative. They're constantly ATCO ELECTRIC GRANDE PRAIRIE ADMINISTRATION & OPERATIONS CENTRE evolving their ideas about architecture through exploring proven and new design principles. This aids them in creat- ing sustainable community structures, and learning some- thing from each completed project. COMMUNITY FOCUSED SPACE A general theme and solution the firm adopts is integrat- ing a common space into a central area of each design – a public meeting place where people can gather, relax, and interact. Many SAHURI projects feature this common de- sign thread, regardless of what sector the facility serves. “This designated social hub has proven to be a commu- nity rallying point and a true community centre that tends to dissolve the ‘us and them’ attitude and creates a stronger community spirit within an organization,” says Smith. “It’s a purposeful integration of public space for facility users, which still respects user-group privacy, the environment, project budgets, and the specific building functions.” This strong, prioritized community focus suggests SAHURI + Partners is a good candidate for consideration by economic development authorities and public agencies seeking to combine community spirit with cost-effective projects. The firm continues to move forward, grounded lo- cally in Canada with community facility projects, while also regularly tackling remote projects and design competitions that expand the company's geographical diversity to other parts of the world. “In our work, we seek to uplift the soul and inspire peo- ple who use these buildings,” says Sahuri. “Our goal is to design something functional but unusual so people notice and engage with the architecture. It shouldn't serve simply as a backdrop.” For more information, visit www.sahuri.com. Design for life.

2015 Wood Design Awards in BC honour the best in architectural and structural wood design Innovation in larger structures recognized Wood Innovation Award Canadian Design and Construction Report staff writer Innovative architectural and structural design in large wood buildings, including mid-rise and commercial structures, headlined the 2015 Wood Design Awards in Vancouver. The eleventh annual event on March 2, organized and hosted by WoodWORKS! BC, honoured excellence in wood building and design and recognized leadership and innovation in wood use. More than 360 people at- tended the annual celebration of wood, including archi- tects, structural engineers, project teams, local government and industry sponsors. There were 107 nominations in 12 categories from 50 – April-May 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report all over the province, as well as an international nomi- nation of a BC project by a New York-based designer. All projects showcase distinctive and unique qualities of wood such as strength, beauty, versatility, and cost-ef- fectiveness. “Each and every one of these projects is spectacular in its own right, and demonstrates how wood can be used in innovative ways as an architectural and struc- tural building material,” said WoodWORKS! BC execu- tive director Lynn Embury-Williams. “Wood products and systems have become the ma- terial of choice in mid-rise residential as well as for the institutional, commercial and industrial sectors. This is a paradigm shift, and it's encouraging, as our communi-
ties and cities want more sustainable and healthier built environments. Here in BC, designers and builders are leading the way by using wood because it is cost-effec- tive; is renewable; has a smaller carbon footprint; and because it creates beautiful and comfortable spaces where people love to live and work.” The panel of four judges included Paul Newman, ex- ecutive director, market access and trade, Council of Forest Industries; Thomas Tannert, PhD, P.Eng., associ- ate chair wood building design and construction, The University of British Columbia; Elsa Lam, BES, MArch II, PhD, MRAIC, editor, Canadian Architect Magazine; and Don Lovell, Architect AIBC, CD, M.Arch. (Retired), Victo- ria, BC. Wood Champion Award The Wood Champion Award was presented to Marie- Odile Marceau, principal, McFarland Marceau Architects Ltd. in Vancouver. “Marceau has a long and distin- guished architectural career in both the public and pri- vate sectors,”WoodWORKS! BC said in the news release. “Her portfolio of sensitive and profound school projects in many First Nations communities has pro- vided a lasting and significant positive learning impact on the students and communities alike. She champi- oned the use of wood in these buildings primarily as cul- tural reference, but also as an economic driver. Wood is a building material readily available in many First Nations communities, and promotes the utilization of commu- nity labour in the harvest, transformation and erection of wood members.” Engineer Award Eric Karsh, principal, Equilibrium Consulting Inc. in Vancouver, received the Engineer Award in recognition of his love of using wood through innovative structural designs such as the use of cross-laminated timber (CLT) “tilt up” balloon frame construction in the Ronald Mc- Donald House BC – a first in North America. This is a system combining the convenience of concrete with the advantages of wood. He has also developed the use of curved, organic shapes, cut from sheets of three-ply cross-laminated timber to form elegant roof and column elements at the UBCO Fitness and Wellness Centre in Kelowna. Karsh also coauthored “The Case for Tall Wood Build- ings” report which introduced an innovative mass tim- ber panel construction concept. Karsh was also the structural engineer of record for the Wood Innovation and Design Centre in Prince George, BC. Architect Award The Architect Award was presented to Vancouver- based Michael Green Architecture. This firm's projects range from airports in Prince George and Ottawa, to a landmark social welfare facility fashioned from CLT. The recently-completed Wood Innovation and Design Cen- tre, the tallest contemporary wood structure in North America, demonstrates economical and repeatable technologies for building high-rise structures with tim- ber. Green was also the co-author for “The Case for Tall Wood Building,” the subject of his high-profile TED Talk. Wood Innovation Award Michael Green, principal, Michael Green Architec- ture, received the Wood Innovation Award, recognizing creative and innovative approaches in the use of wood in building and product design. Green designed the Wood Innovation and Design Centre in Prince George. The structure represents a milestone in the future of tall wood buildings,” Wood- WORKS! BC says. The project introduces new methods of working with mass timber panels, specifically cross- laminated tim- ber, and is a true showcase for BC wood products. The jury described this project as “an exquisite interplay of structure and finish to provide a translucent, warm and inviting structure. The attention to detail is evident throughout, and provides pleasing aesthetic patterns which are both convincing and alluring.” Environmental Performance Award The Environmental Performance Award was pre- sented to Matheo Durfeld of BC Passive House for his project, BC Passive House Plant in Pemberton, BC. The award recognizes how wood products played a signifi- cant role in improving the overall environmental per- formance of a structure. The project was designed to meet the Passive House Standard, currently the world's most rigorous energy standard. The result: an 80-90 per cent reduction in the annual energy used for heating and cooling. The "wood first" approach for the structure of the building avoided approximately 365 metric tons of CO2 emissions. The jury stated that, "This building exempli- fies the use of wood to achieve energy savings, and re- duce environmental impact.” The Canadian Design and Construction Report — April-May 2015 – 51
