Often blamed for problems that can cost 10 times as much to remedy as the original installation price, flooring contractors face bad raps for failures that aren’t always their fault. This is according to John McGrath who led a panel at a seminar at Toronto’s IIDEX Canada (design and architec- ture expo and conference) recently titled Flooring Disaster: Prevention and Recovery. Flooring contractors can’t be scapegoats every time a floor fails, he said. McGrath -- director of INSTALL (International Standards & Training Alliance) – the leading construction industry en- dorsed floor covering installation and training certification program in North America – told the seminar that due dili- gence has to start higher up the contractor chain. The cause of flooring problems is often related to the condition of the substrate. And it can be in poor shape long before the flooring contractor’s arrival on site, said panelist 4 – Winter 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report Steve Zizek, flooring instructor, Resilient Floor Workers Training Trust Fund, Carpenters Local 27. General contractors and other subcontractors must un- derstand that some of their activities can cause substrate problems for flooring installers, ranging from improperly leveled concrete floors to moisture intrusion in the slab. “It is the best insurance policy to protect everyone involved,” said McGrath, who regularly conducts seminars on flooring issues for architects, interior designers, building owners and facility managers on behalf of INSTALL. Flooring contractors are one of the last trades on site – oft-times facing a tight schedule and a substrate that some- times is ill-prepared for flooring, said panel speaker Dave Furlano, owner, Centa Tile, a second generation floorcover- ing company in business for more than 40 years. “Often we’ve got issues of oil spillage on floors (typically oil from hydraulic lifts on site) and we’re told it is our prob- lem.” Oil stains are nearly impossible to clean and today’s flooring contains latex adhesives which won’t adhere to pe- troleum products, Furlano told the seminar audience. The solution? Sometimes the concrete slab has to be ground down and topped with a self-leveling concrete. John McGrath, director of INSTALL (International Standards & Training Alliance) It can be “an added huge cost” that no flooring installer could see coming at the tendering stage, said Zizek. Furlano said by getting invovled early in the pre-con- struction process, flooring contractors can play an impor- tant role in mishap prevention. Hydraulic lifts, for example, can be equipped when operating on the slab with oil catch- ing “diapers” to prevent spillage. He advised flooring contractors to visit the site occasion- ally – even if they aren’t scheduled to start the job for months – to review conditions, including floor level and fin- ish. While moisture in the substrate is a major problem, moisture measurement tests can be performed well in ad- vance of the flooring installer’s arrival. Those tests should be the general contractor’s responsibility, but they are often written into the flooring contractor’s specs, said Zizek. Furlano said even when his firm performs moisture tests (for relative humidity and calcium chloride, for example), the installation can still be in danger if the vapor retarder is incorrectly used. Moisture can continue to leach up from beneath the slap – particularly on wet or swampy sites. Zizek said while moisture remains a major culprit for flooring failures, today’s high-quality moisture mitigation products provide improved protection from moisture fail- ure. In Furlano’s contracting experience, one of the leading causes of flooring failure is maintenance crews that don’t familiarize themselves with the appropriate cleaning prod- ucts and methods. Maintenance comes under the product warranty and all leading manufacturers have detailed information on proper maintenance, said McGrath. www.merx.com/events merk@merx.com www.merx.com The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Winter 2015 – 5 AUTHENTICITY : Are you really doing what you are saying The truth about gender equity and brand image By Sharon Barney Special to Canadian Design and Construction Report If your corporate marketing department says that the company values gender equity, can you honestly agree that those claims are authentic when the top levels of man- agement are 95 per cent male? A recent study from Stanford Graduate School of Busi- ness found that consumers “really want the real thing”: it’s called ‘the value of authenticity.’ The researchers found that ‘authenticity’ is so valued by consumers and the public that perceptions of ‘inauthentic- ity’ can affect revenues by five to nine per cent. 6 – Winter 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report AIG lost 20 per cent of its shareholder value after the bailout, says Corporate Responsibility Magazine. The pub- lic wants truthfulness from its corporations. Authenticity is where the rubber meets the road: the marketing department can market a brand identity as a company that values gender equity, but the brand’s image can be tarnished by management that does not back up those marketing claims with meaningful action. A corporation may be voted as one of the top 10 com- panies to work for, but if the large majority of survey re- spondents are male, it cannot be assumed that female employees hold the same view. In fact, studies show that women working in heavily male dominated companies do not believe their employers are authentic in their claim to value gender equity. A recent study called “Climbing the Technical Ladder” surveyed 1,800 technical employees and found that women are significantly less likely than their male col- leagues to view promotions at their companies as fair. Researchers in the UK and Australia found that younger women in engineering positions in construction become disillusioned with their career choice because of the gen- der conflicts they experience despite their employers’ claim to value gender equity. These women tend to leave the industry early on in their careers at a higher rate than their male colleagues. In speaking to groups of female engineers, I repeatedly hear about small but significant examples of gender bias that wear away their confidence and job satisfaction. A female mechanical engineer said that when she worked for a major auto supply company, male customers would often not believe what she told them and would ask to speak to one of the ‘guys at the back.’ Another female engineer related an incident when she was in a teleconference and the male client asked to speak to one of her male co-workers because he didn’t believe she knew what she was talking about. Yet, women working in masculine cultures will hide their feelings of dissatisfaction because they fear backlash and being labelled as ‘too emotional.’ This too is a reflection of a lack of commitment to gender equity in a corporation. This disillusionment creates a domino effect on em- ployee satisfaction and retention of current employees as well as the ability to recruit new talent. So what can a construction company do to build an au- thentic brand image as a place that values gender equity? Recognize gender bias. Start from the premise that the processes of recruitment, retention and reward are gender biased. It’s an ugly truth that very few leaders understand or want to admit. Take ownership. One of the most important aspects of culture change according to management guru John Kotter is that people need to see their leaders demon- strate the values they are seeking to instill throughout the organization. Be prepared for push back. Understand that gender eq- uity initiatives require significant culture change in a historically masculine culture like construction. Demand a return on investment. Gender equity initia- tives are not ‘feel good’ programs. They can and should be measured for their contribution to the bot- tom line. Market your progress. Even companies that have diffi- culties reaching equity targets gain valuable loyalty when they honestly and transparently pursue gender equity. The word ‘authenticity’ comes from the root ‘to author.’ Construction companies have the opportunity to author a powerful brand image that resonates with women and all stakeholders through authentic gender equity initiatives.

That's why the only marketing activities that succeed are those with thoughtful consideration behind them. And marketing will be a major factor that determines whether or not you are successful in your proposal pursuits. The marketing plan: A process, not a product Your marketing plan represents a process. It must eval- uate all of the available opportunities, compare them to the solutions your organization can provide, and then take the steps necessary to get you where you want to go. The marketing plan should be clear and have enough detail that the managers responsible for selecting specific 8 – Winter 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report organizations as marketing targets can test their selections against the marketing plan and have some confidence they are making the right choices. Stage one: Starting questions The fist stage of developing a solid marketing plan re- quires asking yourself questions about what your organi- zation does best, what it can offer to the marketplace, and what marketplace you're most competitive in. The answers you come up with won't all be correct. But it's a starting point. Just about the time you think you've got a marketplace figured out, it'll move on you! So mar- keting plans are usually only good for one year at the most. If you're in a dynamic marketplace, or you're building a marketing plan for a new technology, you'll be editing and changing that plan each week as new intelligence is gath- ered. Stage two: Organization questions Next you'll need to ask questions like these about your organization: — What are the best matches between the services/prod- ucts we provide and the needs of the marketplace? — What's already working well in the marketplace? — Is there an opportunity for us to follow this example because of growth in a new region? — Where are the gaps in services or products that you may be able to fill? — What is not available in the marketplace? How can we verify the need has demand behind it, or is it just a need that doesn't have enough demand to overcome inertia? (Remember how strong the pull of inertia is!) Stage three: Customer/client questions You also need to ask questions about your clients. The best way to do this is to make two lists that respond to two questions: 1. What do your best customers look like and why are they your best customers? Write down the answers to these questions and be spe- cific about what it is that makes these customers the best, including any cultural attributes that make working with them enjoyable for your organization. 2. What do your worst customers look like? Write down exactly why they are on this list, including what they do or don't do that does or does not fit with your organization. Be specific in detailing the points that rub you raw. Maybe their accounting system drives you wild, caus- ing lost time and money trying to get your invoices through their system. Or maybe their internal process for handling reviews of professional work is chaotic, and this eliminates your margins with their schedule failures. From the two lists you can now write a de- scription of your ideal customer. What elements should you be looking for that will be better matches for your organization? You may decide to change some things in your organization in order to better match with some of your customers. Sometimes reorganiz- ing your own accounting systems makes some of the “worst customers” your “best customers” immediately. All of this analysis goes into your marketing plan. And remember, the plan will be fluid to ac- commodate new information, as it's discovered. Even though goals and targets will shift, there must be a plan. After all, how are you going to get “there” if you don't know where “there” is? Your organization is not so much like a ship as it is a bunch of canoes lashed together with ropes. The trip can't be made if you're headed out onto a lake without sharing a target. When everyone knows what the plan is, they can support the plan in the hundreds of little ways that add up. ______________________________________________ One organization I worked with set a goal to pare down their customer list to the most profitable clients, their top 50. Everyone in the organization was shown the list. One day in the reception area, a customer from one of the top 50 was waiting for the same per- son as a customer from the bottom of their client list. Because the receptionist knew where the firm's priorities were, she gracefully shepherded in the top 50 client without letting on that she had put her in front of the other client. ______________________________________________ This is an example of one of those “little hundreds” of ways that everyone in the organization can contribute to the goal – if they buy into it. If they're told about it and the information is shared with the entire firm, you'll be amazed at the results. When management has the nerve to open up and show everyone where they are going there's no stopping you from getting there. Stage five: Selecting the targets At this stage, the marketing managers should be ready to select target organizations for a marketing approach and investigation. After checking the target against the market- ing plan, they work to identify how best to infiltrate the tar- get organization and collect and analyze the intelligence gathered. By first finding the CASE of the organizations and then identifying the BUGS and documenting the ISSUES, you can be in a position to decide whether your organization can be a winner with this prospect and turn them into a customer or client. Excerpted from the recently-published book: The Magic of Winning Proposals: The Simple Step-by-Step Approach to Winning Proposals that Win, Getting new clients, and Implementing an Unbeatable Marketing Plan, by Laura Ricci (with a forward by Matt Handal). The book is available in hardcover format at Ama- zon.com and in a free electronic version, which you can request by emailing propos- albook@cadcr.com. Stage four: Sharing the plan The marketing plan must be shared with everyone in your organization. The organization can't move together un- less everyone knows what the course is that's being charted. The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Winter 2015 – 9 NEWS BRIEFS BRITISH COLUMBIA $8.8 billion Peace River dam project to boost province's construction industry The B.C. government's decision to proceed with the $8.8 billion BC Hydro Site C dam on the Peace River will pro- vide a welcome economic boost to the region's construction industry, industry leaders say. “Right now, this is the big game in town for us,” said Britco vice-president Mike Ridley, describing the impact on his modular-work camp accommoda- tion business of what is described as the biggest capital construction proj- ect in the province's history. “What happens on a project of (Site C’s) scale and duration is that the next generation of workers can come in and come out of it at the end as signif- icantly experienced and highly skilled workers,” the Vancouver Sun quoted Manley McLachlan, president of the B.C. Construction Association as say- ing. McLachlan said that within its aging workforce, B.C.’s construction sector will see some 40,000 workers reach retirement age, and a project like Site C can help the turnover for new work- ers. “You can’t downplay that in terms of workforce development,” McLach- lan said. CONSTRUCTION ACROSS CANADA 2013. The tower construction began in November, 2014 and will be com- pleted in the third quarter of 2017. The estimated investment on the sky- scraper is $400 million, designbuild- network.com reported. Site preparation work has started on the 58-storey, 750,000 sq. ft. Telus Sky Building, which, when completed, will be Calgary's third tallest structure. Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), along with design partner Dialog, unveiled the Telus Sky tower design in July 10 – Winter 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report New Saskatchewan Roughriders stadium under construction in Regina Construction continues on the new $278 million stadium for the Saskatchewan Roughriders under a public/private partnership agreement. Regina's share of the project cost is $73 million. The project, part of an overall downtown revitalization/rede- velopment initiative, is the first PCL commercial project in Regina to have four tower cranes operating at one time. Other project participants include: Integral Group, Glotman Simpson Con- sulting Engineers, Ldmg Building Code Consultants, Gunn Consultants, Bunt & Associates Consulting Engi- neers, and Rsi Studio. Edmonton: Enbridge to move to Kelly Ramsey and Manulife buildings Enbridge will be occupying 14 floors of the rebuilt Kelly Ramsey Building and space in the Manulife Building, with a pedway connecting the two buildings, as part of a consol- idation from six locations to a core of- fice area in downtown Edmonton. The company's growth has tripled its space needs in the past decade, pub- lished reports say. ALBERTA Construction starts on Telus Sky tower in Calgary SASKATCHEWAN A 2009 arson fire gutted the original 100-year-old Kelly Ramsey building. The old building was demolished to make room for a 25-storey office tower, making use of the building's original facade. Enbridge will begin moving into the new space in 2017. The contractor says approximately 160,000 cu. m.of soil have been re- moved from the site with the west side excavation at approximately 11 metres below grade. “In total, 815 piles had been in- stalled and 7,600 cu. m. of concrete poured” by late October 2014. “The progress at the site is very im- pressive. Every time I’ve driven by it is always filled with a lot of activity. It has been fun to see the first phase of the Regina Revitalization Initiative literally grow up out of the ground,” said Regina mayor Michael Fougere. “Our team is very happy with the progress we have made since break- ing ground this summer,” said Sean Hamelin, district manager of PCL Con- struction Management Inc. “We have assembled a very dedicated team and the passion we have for building this stadium is proven every day. Progress is right where we planned it to be at this time.” The stadium will be substantially complete in August 2016, with the first Rider game in the new Mosaic Sta- dium in June 2017. MANITOBA Construction starts soon on the second phase of Winnipeg's new Sport for Life Centre The $25 million, 124,000 sq. ft. fa- cility in the Exchange District will cater to inner city teens, families and will also provide space for sports training and programs. Winnipeg Mayor Brian Bowman said the centre will be a legacy for the 2017 Canada Summer Games. "Every athlete I think needs a great space where they can train to get to the next level of their sport and de- velop their leadership skills,” Bowman said in a published report. "I know that the Sport for Life centre right here in downtown Winnipeg will be exactly that place." The Manitoba government has in- vested $16 million in the project. The city has committed $1 million to the fa- cility from the 2017 Canada Games Capital fund. The remaining funds are from private donations. cember and reported on his mandate to study and report on the rules re- garding creating new mandatory trade certifications, and in resolving “scope of practice” issues for trades, the Council of Ontario Construction Asso- ciations (COCA) reports in its newslet- ter. The newsletter quoted Dean as say- ing he “has assembled a small team of three or four people, some who are full time on the review and others who are only part time,” some from the Min- istry of Trades, Colleges and Universi- ties, and “others from the OCOT, to support him in this review.” “He has already had animated and positive discussions with Tim Arm- strong and Kevin Whittaker (who wrote reports that were the genesis of the College) and also spoke with Garfield Dunlop MPP who has been one of the college's most outspoken critics,” COCA reported. “He has already spoken with ap- proximately 30 representatives of sig- nificant stakeholders, some who support the college and others who are critics; there was uniform support for the review and offers of help.” OAA seeks diversity in 2015 awards submissions ONTARIO Tony Dean makes presentation to OCOT board, describing his mandate and approach he will take to resolve questions Tony Dean, appointed to review the Ontario College of Trades (OCOT), at- tended a meeting of the organization's board of governors in Toronto in De- the industry as well as some of the province’s most established architec- tural firms,” the OAA says in a state- ment. This year, the OAA is emphasizing the importance of submitting multi-unit residential and mixed-use projects, in- cluding condominium buildings, within the nominations. “As populations continue to grow and shift back towards urban centres, architects will need to present creative residential structures that promote density and accommodate mixed-uses while engaging within their given con- text and environment,” says OAA pres- ident Bill Birdsell. “It’s important to recognize the architects that are de- signing exceptional and diverse ex- pressions of our modern lifestyle.” As well this year, the OAA is empha- sizing that anyone, from members of the public, to industry partners, as well as architecture firms, can nominate a deserving project on behalf of the ar- chitect. The submissions deadline is Jan. 26 at 4:30 p.m. Third party verification services – OGCA legal opinion and petition encourage contractors to use COR instead of com- mercial verification services The Ontario General Contractors Association (OGCA) has launched a multi-pronged attack on third party ver- ification services. The Ontario Association of Archi- tects (OAA) has invited entries for the 2015 OAA Awards. “The awards high- light the best in architectural design and innovation by Ontario architects, recognizing both emerging talent in The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Winter 2015 – 11 NEWS BRIEFS These measures include starting a petition campaign, obtaining a legal opinion that the use of these services doesn't meet the standards for due diligence and, most significantly, ob- taining a decision by York Region to allow contractors to qualify for work with a COR (Certificate of Recognition) designation through the Infrastructure Health and Safety Association (IHSA), in place of the ISNetworld, one of the third-party services that has attracted the greatest level of controversy. The third-party services charge fees both to owners and contractors and sub-contractors to gather and monitor compliance with various regulations, including health and safety and work- ers compensation rules. However, several contractors have complained that the services create unnecessary bureaucratic burdens, increase costs (both in time and cash) and don't truly confirm regulatory compliance. The petition, addressed to the provincial labour minister and the On- tario legislature, says: “We, as members for the Ontario Construction Industry, request that the Hon. Minister of Labour and the On- tario Legislature address the problem of Third Party Safety Verification. We collectively request that immediate ac- tion be taken to accredited employers who meet the standards for health and safety excellence via programs such as COR.” “There are numerous private unreg- ulated companies that verify safety compliance, many do not verify that the programs are delivered. As a re- sult, owners and contractors will be left with the mistaken belief that they meet or exceed their legal health and safety obligations; further, programs such as COR exist which verify that that the contractor is in full compli- ance.” Diamond and Schmidt design $110.5 million National Arts Centre revitalization Diamond and Schmidt architects are designing a $110.5 million project to “transform and revitalize” the Na- 12 – Winter 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report tional Arts Centre (NAC) on Elgin Street in Ottawa. The project will be built through a collaborative construction-manage- ment design team approach, and the NAC will follow a two-step approach to seek out expressions of interest from qualified contractors, says NAC director of operations David McCuaig. “We're looking for a partnership, someone who will want to work on this project in the spirit of integrated project delivery.” The initial notice will be posted on MERX fairly early in the new year,” he said. This will result in a list of pre- qualified firms, which will be narrowed down in a separate step, to possibly four or five candidates at the Request for Proposal stage. “One important thing we really want, is to get the construction man- ager early to work with the architects and engineers, and give us con- structability advice, from the design process right through construction.” QUEBEC Quebec City museum expansion reaches highest point NEW BRUNSWICK Two companies receive ACOA support Two New Brunswick companies have received financial support from the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency, the federal government has announced.

Meanwhile, Kings County Mechan- ical Ltd., a welding and fabrication shop, will acquire the building it cur- rently leases, purchase equipment and construct a small adjoining building for its blast and paint shop with its $500,000 repayable contribution from ACOA. In addition, the company will receive $12,375 from the government to hire productivity expertise to im- prove the plant's layout to reduce waste and increase efficiencies. “Our government is committed to creating jobs and economic growth, while returning to fiscal balance," Re- gional Minister for New Brunswick and Minister of State (Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency) Rob Moore, said in a statement. NOVA SCOTIA Non-union businesses protest “any given day” rule for union certification OMA’s first Canadian project, the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec (MNBAQ) expansion has reached its highest point. Extending from Quebec’s Parc des Champs-de- Bataille to the Grande-allée, the cas- cading gallery’s three stacked volumes have taken full form as the museum works towards completion in early 2016, archdaily.com reports. OMA New York won the design competition for the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec in 2010. The project began construction in Sep- tember 2013 and is expected to open to the public in early 2016. Fifty non-union construction com- panies are protesting a union certifica- tion decision made by the provincial labour board, CBC has reported. The issue is whether everyone who works for a construction company should be allowed to vote or only the people working on the day a union drive is held. The latter is something known as the any given day rule. Non-union shops say the rule is un- fair, open to abuse and should be changed. The decision stems from a situation where at a parking garage under con- struction, six of the seven labourers signed union cards on a given day. The company working on the proj- ect, CanMar Contracting Ltd., is ap- pealing the labour board decision because two long-term employees were absent that day. The any given day rule applies only in the construction industry, the CBC report said. PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND New engineering school for UPEI NEWFOUNDLAND $1.5 billion Maritime Link breaks ground Officials from Newfoundland and Nova Scotia held ceremonial shovels to break ground in a remote corner of western Newfoundland on the Mar- itime Link, which will connect the is- land to the North American power grid. The transmission line will bring power to be generated at the under- construction Muskrat Falls megapro- ject in Labrador to Nova Scotia, via Newfoundland. “There's a lot of work going on here," said Derrick Dalley, Newfound- land and Labrador's natural resources minister, adding that the Maritime Link project has become a major employer, CBC has reported. “There's a lot of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians working here and that's tied to the ben- efits of the project as well.” The University of Prince Edward Is- land has announced plans to construct a new school of sustainable design en- gineering. The provincial government has an- nounced a $12 million investment to construct the new building and $4 mil- lion for operating costs. The federal government also an- nounced $5.98 million in funding through the Atlantic Canada Opportu- nities Agency to help set up lab space for research, to buy specialized equip- ment and for other costs. The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Winter 2015 – 13 Win-door North America attracts 3,200 participants to 20 th anniversary fenestration trade show Canadian Design and Construction Report staff writer Canada's industry-owned North America fenestration trade show attracted thousands of visitors Nov. 18 to 20, providing the technical and practical information attendees have come to expect with some anniversary highlights to mark the show’s continued success as a premier industry event. The industry-owned show, at the Metro Toronto Conven- tion Centre, celebrated its twentieth anniversary. “Despite the growing challenges faced by shows today, this year’s floor-plan grew six per cent over the previous year with more than 3,200 participants and more than 135 com- panies taking part,” said show chair Rick Pries. “Win-door is a great sales tool and the premier educa- tional vehicle for our industry. Education attracts and the added opportunity for networking by bringing all of the seri- ous players together in one place is invaluable.” He says people continue to want to see, touch, under- stand why, and to talk with the people delivering the speci- fications. That inherent need and the input gathered after each show from attendees and exhibitors will continue to drive the shows’ focus and forward direction. –––– Continued on page 16 14 – Winter 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report EXTEND THE TREND.

EDCO chief executive Heather Lalonde Women in EDO + Women's role increasing in economic development profession in Canada and internationally Canadian Design and Construction Report staff writer Heather Lalonde, Economic Developers Council of Ontario (EDCO)'s chief executive officer, embraces the new international focus on economic development and the growing role of women in the profession. Lalonde began her career in municipal government before taking on economic development chal- lenges for the City of Peterborough in 1997. Like many peo- ple in earlier years, she evolved into the career. Now people seek it out as a professional opportunity. “There is a greater understanding now for the need for economic development and it has become more widely known as a profession and one people seek out, rather than evolving into,” she said. “Economic development is being seen more as a core business of municipalities as well so the focus is growing.” She said EDCO is just eight members short of 1,000 at the end of 2014 and 44 per cent of those members have been involved for less than 10 years. As the numbers of economic development professionals grows Lalonde says the demographic is naturally evolving to include more women. “Women are naturally used to juggling multiple tasks and managing a work/life balance so they are naturally suited to the high demands and challenges of the career.” She says advances in technology have created a greater demand for responsiveness. A competitive market also comes into play with the tighter response times and deter- mines the kind of people who will succeed in the industry. EDCO has started planning events focused on women and will bring in women in Ontario who are leaders in the field who can share their experiences and insights. “Some- times women just need to see the possibility and sharing the path other successful women have taken can be that in- spiration.” Lalonde says that variety and flexibility are among the things she loves about the job but it is not for everyone. “I think of economic development like parenting. You have to be an event manager, understand financial issues, be able to handle logistics, be detail oriented, and go into work every day thinking the day is going to be about one thing and find it is completely turned around.” Lalonde is expanding her own international influence in the industry and connecting with women on a global front. She has just been elected as a member of the International Economic Development Council (IEDC) and says that there too an increasing number of women is evident. “Economic development is a field that transcends gov- ernment and the private sector. It is for people who truly care about their communities. It is a powerful and empowering industry that is able to shape the future of our communities.” The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Winter 2015 – 17 NORFOLK COUNTY, ONTARIO Linda D’Hondt-Crandon combines industry knowledge with government experience to build community opportunities Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature EDO Linda D’Hondt-Crandon has applied her clear under- standing of the industry with a diverse background to give her a broad insight as economic development co- ordinator for Norfolk County in Simcoe, Ontario. D’Hondt-Crandon combines real estate training and municipal government experience in public works, health and finance. This background has helped her un- derstand the process, politics and business of economic development. “There is a perception that economic development is all about investment attraction,” she said. “Really though it is a combination of business retention and at- traction.” 18 – Winter 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report D’Hondt-Crandon says local jobs are often created by smaller local employers with the opportunity to grow. She says the economic development field involves new people, challenges and rewards each day. “It is very rewarding to see a brownfield development move for- ward, in seeing new business ventures established and in watching local companies grow. Economic develop- ment helps with all of that.” She says one of her job’s biggest challenges is justi- fying the local regulatory environments to clients, includ- ing the costs of approvals which can be high and hard to understand. She says her vocation can also be very demanding, requiring flexibility and the willingness to work around clients’ schedules to be available when they are. “Eco- nomic development requires persistence, enthusiasm, a solid understanding of the issues and a broad knowl- edge base that encompasses a lot of different areas.” D’Hondt-Crandon says she has found experience to be the best teacher but says education and training are important as well and anyone considering an economic development career should certainly pursue this as a path. “An education in economic development provides you with the opportunity to learn from others and to benefit from all they have experienced.” She says there is a great deal of support available for people in the field and adds that anyone who doesn’t take advantage of these opportunities is missing out on key components. D’Hondt-Crandon is a member of the Economic Developers Association of Canada (EDAC) and the Economic Developers Council of Ontario (EDCO). She also works closely with local chambers of com- merce, business improvement areas and business as- sociations. “It is a fun, challenging job that gives you an oppor- tunity to learn more about what is in your own backyard than most people will ever know,” she said. Katlin Ducherer builds relationship bridges Lloydminster's economic development straddles Alberta/Saskatchewan border Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature From an education in events and tourism, Katlin Ducherer is building a bridge-building career as an eco- nomic development officer for Lloydminster. “I applied for a different job with the city back in 2008,” she said. “They were looking to expand their economic development department at the time, suggested I con- sider giving it a try and sent me on training. From the start I loved it.” Describing economic develop- ment as being about “building bridges and making connections that wouldn’t otherwise be made or made as quickly,” she has spent the past several years building and facil- itating those relationships and help- ing develop a regional picture. Lloydminster is unique in that it straddles the border between Al- berta and Saskatchewan so is con- sidered both and is connected to several regions on both sides of the border. This is both an opportunity and a challenge in the economic de- velopment world. Another challenge that Ducherer has dealt with is her gender. “When I started the job and would go to events or into meetings, the majority of my peers were men and in partic- ular older men. Now I’m seeing more women in the field and people younger than me getting involved.” She says she realized early on that she had to be con- fident and show others that she knew what she was doing. Having an outgoing and energetic personality helps she says and adds these qualities are important for any- one considering the profession. A challenge she has yet to face and has concerns about is how a future family might fit into her hectic and de- manding schedule. “In economic development you have to be available 24/7,” she said. “There are challenges in the size of the team you work with and all that needs to happen and I can see balancing that and a family as being difficult.” That being said she loves her job and says she would absolutely recommend this as a career. “I love developing and maintaining relationships, enjoy helping people and being part of someone’s suc- cess.” Ducherer says the training she has taken and continues to take along the way has been important, in part because of what she has learned from conversations and stories from experienced instructors. A member of the Saskatchewan Eco- nomic Development Association (SEDA) and Economic Developers Alberta (EDA), Ducherer is also a member of the MPI (Meeting Professionals International). “With economic development it can be years until you see the fruits of your labour,” she said. “Without the bridges we build though a lot of businesses and or- ganizations would not have the opportuni- ties they do.” The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Winter 2015 – 19 EDO Marla Tremblay builds her business and reputation as an economic development consultant Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature From a background in tourism and work in various as- pects of business and community development, Marla Tremblay has created a successful business combining economic development services on both the public and private sector side. Tremblay says over the years she worked with cham- bers of commerce and small businesses, in community development with a focus on small business support and then for eight years as economic development officer for the City of North Bay. “Over the years I developed a strong network, had the opportunity to develop various interests and areas of experience, and got exposure to many northern communities.” RETAIL Y Yo o our Your Centre of o Growth h in Northeastern Northea astern Ontario EDO Iroquois s Falls A Accessible: D ir e ec ece c tl tly y a ad jac c en n t t o cc essible: ib blbl ble: l adjac j H Highw Hig h a y 1 11, , NE E On n ta tar a io ’ s pr imar y tr a ansp oror t ta tion m a ar t er y S Stable: : C en n tr a al lyy loc co lo a t ta ed in n o one o of fof N o or ther n table: n O On tar io ’ s most d div v ersified d an n d sta a e ec conomic i c rs s i fi fie ed and stabl c o e r e egions on A Affordable: F u ul lly y ser e v vic emisk hor T S Shores c es k e ed aming d i lolo l lots t o otststs s w with t th h fl fle xible ff o or r d dable: a ib b pur chase t er m ms h Business F Friendly : Jo J oin an n ac tiv iv v e business ne r ien n d dly o b usus n ne c ommunit y , and d a str t tr r o ong g r er eta a and d se ser e er vic e sec c t or o r, u n e etail n s supp or t ed b y a business-fr f s s r ie iendly m muu un n iness-f ndly municipalit y ne S Size z i iz e r range: : F rF om 1 t o 2 20 A cr es a ange: ge Amos M a th h eson Timmins R amor e a Rouyn-Noranda Kirkland Lake Malartic M Ma a tache w an tachew E lk Lak e C Charlton har lt on Englehart Englehar t R Rapide-S ept id G o g ga ama Winneway S Shin ning T r ee hin Lat chford f Cobalt 30 minin minutes 25,000 25,00 ppl 00 F abre Fabre 60 minutes in 35 0 00 35,000 ppl l 000 g T emagami 9 mi 90 minut es 1 150,000 p pl 50 000 T TeTemiscaming i i Valle E ast V Va ll y East Onapin ng F all s napi Sudbur y Warren Sturgeon Falls C Call James F Franks a at t all J ames r anks (705) 672-3363 ext. tx . 4137 or e D Dymond email - jfr jfranks@temiskamingshores.ca a ymond anks@t emisk amingshor es .c I Industrial ndustrial f for or more e inf or ma tion. mor information. Pa Park kr www.temiskamingshores.ca a www .t emisk amingshor es .c 20 – Winter 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report V This diverse and varied background provides her busi- ness, Markey Consulting's, foundations. Tremblay works as an independent consultant with communities on things like event planning and market studies. On the pri- vate sector side, she works with companies, especially in mining supply services, on marketing, helping them ac- cess government money and building their reputations. While she says economic development is now some- thing taught in the school, success in the field relies on a variety of experiences and roles, on who you know and your ability to use the available resources. “There is cer- tainly value in formal education but on the ground learning is important as well,” she said. “Every community is dif- ferent, their needs are each different and it’s important to be able to draw on a vast body of experience.” Her experiences have also taught her that gender bi- ases still exist. She says the solutions include a willing- ness to express opinions, to be sure you are heard, and not to take things personally. “I mentor a lot of women and I tell them they need to speak up, to share and to have a strong backbone.” She also reminds them of the importance of visibility and networking. Tremblay, a member of Women in Mining (WIM) Canada, says she makes an effort to visit groups specific to women when she is attending trade shows and events. Her advice to anyone considering a career in economic development is to be prepared to put in the time. “It is important to understand this is a service-driven industry. You have to be committed to your client and that can mean the workload can be heavy.” Understanding that a balance between work and life is important was part of what motivated Tremblay to start her own business. Although there are innate challenges in being self-employed, Markey Consulting has given her more control over her own schedule and helped her achieve the balance she has sought. Kathy Weiss: Making a difference as Durham's director of economic development and tourism Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature Kathy Weiss, Regional Municipality of Durham’s direc- tor of economic development and tourism, came to the industry, as many others have, through an indirect route. Over the years, she has built her reputation as a provin- cial economic development leader. From her start as a computer operator, Weiss moved into a career in sales and then became the St. Catharines Chamber of Commerce's general manager. There she got her first exposure to economic development. She then moved to Kitchener, where she worked as manager of business facilitation and then moved into the role of director which included the Waterloo Region Small Busi- ness Centre. “After that I worked for Chatham-Kent and that was where I got my first exposure to international invest- ment.” Weiss just returned from an investment mission to Holland on behalf of Durham and says China is another investment market relevant to the region. Along the way, she says she has seen a growing num- ber of women entering the field, even in international markets where one might assume gender could be an issue. She says economic development at its most basic level is about creating jobs and making communities liv- able, sustainable and healthy. “Along the way you build business relationships and hope- fully secure enough bricks and mortar that demonstrates the hard work.” Weiss says her work with poten- tial economic development clients – starting as an information source, helping develop a solution and then bringing that relationship into the community – is very satisfying. EDO She also works to maintain relationships within the construction industry, understanding that construction and economic development go hand in hand. As part of her role, she is a member and past presi- dent of EDCO (Economic Development Council of On- tario). She is also a member of the local chambers of commerce and boards of trade. During 2015 she has set a goal of finding a hobby and is considering a group for women in economic development as a way of branching out and connecting with other women in the industry. Weiss says she would recommend an economic de- velopment career to any woman with the right personal- ity. “Economic development requires a sales/close the deal kind of person who has people skills and an ability to think outside the box to see the bigger picture.” She takes advantage of ongoing training opportuni- ties to stay up on changes in the industry and feels very fortunate to be in a role in which she is meeting people and making a differ- ence. The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Winter 2015 – 21 DUFFERIN COUNTY Achieving economic development success by connecting diverse interests in eight-municipality Ontario region Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature Dufferin County, a diverse, mostly rural region with eight municipalities about 100 km northwest of Toronto, has taken a grand view of economic development, cre- ating and bringing together distinct teams, each with its own vision but supporting a combined overall goal of promoting, supporting and establishing a sustainable environment for the region’s businesses and residents. THERESA SAUREN EDO Theresa Sauren's career has evolved to her current responsibilities as program manager for Dufferin.Biz, where she uses her diverse experience and her distinct outlook to support the region's overall economic devel- opment and community development plan . Sauren has Bachelor's Degree of Commerce in Mar- keting Management, many years working for the county government, and experience in the non-profit sector for local projects and community development. She has re- cently completed a Masters’ Degree in Environment and Business. “A key part of my job is telling the story of our county and why it is the best place to locate a business,” she says. “All of my past experiences come together in this role as I work one-on-one with businesses to under- stand their needs and concerns, and as I work to facili- tate relationships between business and government and within industries.” She says for instance there have been efforts to bring all of the agriculture in the region together under one shared food initiative. Opportunities have also been created to bring the manufacturing sector together to understand shared challenges and goals. This can create one of the biggest challenges in her job: getting all of the dif- ferent people and interests moving in the same direction. “We have eight different municipalities in the region, each with its own different needs and wants. My job is to develop shared goals based on trust and an understanding that helping one municipality can bring benefits to another.” These are challenging objectives, and the resulting entrepeneural success stories make the effort worth- while. Sauren says her approach is to own the job – good and bad. “I’ve always been a busy person and there are 22 – Winter 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report Nancy Tuckett, Theresa Sauren and Michele Harris many nights I’m working after the kids have gone to bed but facing challenges in a job, having a strong work ethic that means you do what you need to do to get the job done, I think those are important for success in any career.” She says understanding this is important for anyone considering a career in economic development, as is loving the job and the community you represent. “To be in this field you have to want to be involved – with politics, with business – and you have to be comfortable with public interaction because it’s all about the relationships.” Sauren says it is equally impor- tant to be patient because some- times results take a long time to evolve and it takes time to develop strong relationships. She says 10 years ago it could be challenging being a woman in the industry but, with time and with more women becoming involved in politics and business that has changed. “I’ve been doing this long enough that people know me now and what I can do,” she said. “There is a link between business development and community devel- opment. Understanding what makes communities thrive and making that happen is the most satisfying part of what I do.” EDO 246372 Hockley Road Mono, ON L9W 6K4 Phone: 855-383-3249 dufferin.biz The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Winter 2015 – 23 DUFFERIN COUNTY Nancy Tuckett leads Orangeville's economic development, planning and innovation Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature EDO Nancy Tuckett contributes to Dufferin County as di- rector of economic development, planning and innova- tion for the Town of Orangeville, its main community. Tuckett started her career in urban plan- ning and began working on economic de- velopment mid-way through her 27-year career. Since then she has worked for sev- eral communities throughout Ontario. She applies her planning and education de- grees to understand and assist people es- tablishing businesses through the maze of approvals and requirements. When she became director of economic development almost 20 years ago, she says there were fewer women in senior economic development management roles, however, this has changed consider- ably and both genders are equally represented at all lev- els now. Tuckett supports and implements the community's economic development and tourism strategies, a re- cently-approved cultural master plan and a directional way finding master plan. “My role is to be available to prospective and existing industries and business interests in the community, to provide requested information, contacts and respond in a way to enhance existing business success and secure new businesses to Orangeville,” she said. “I also lever- age opportunities by working with organizations in the community that have expertise that we can draw from to better the community.” The biggest challenge she says is not being able to satisfy everyone’s needs whether it be for land, changes to land usage or appropriate space. Her advice to young people considering the field is that it suits someone who likes a diverse, challenging work environment, working with all sectors of the community; someone who enjoys engaging people, supporting businesses in all of their needs, who is a problem solver, and solutions-ori- ented person. “Working with great people, staff and community-minded people who feel strongly about the town and wish to better the community from all facets is a great part of the job,” she says. “Seeing the results of efforts paying off, businesses expanding, new businesses locating to the community, and entrepreneurs launching their businesses and achieving success is what it’s all about.” Tuckett is a member of the Economic Developers Council of Ontario and the Economic Development As- sociation of Canada, as well as the Canadian Institute of Planners and the Ontario Professional Planning Institute. DUFFERIN COUNTY Sonya Pritchard: Dufferin County's chief administrative officer Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature Sonya Pritchard, chief administrative officer (CAO) for the County of Dufferin, applies her accounting back- ground and municipal treasurer experience to serve as a liaison between community organizations and county council, offering support and feedback about new initiatives. She is also CAO liaison for the Western Ontario Warden’s Caucus ultra-high speed broadband project. Named SWIFT (South West Integrated Fibre Technology Net- work), Pritchard says the project is focused on building the technology infrastructure necessary to move southwestern Ontario forward in the new economy. 24 – Winter 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report “As a CAO, my job is different every day,” she says. “This is the best part of the job and the most challenging. The Office of CAO is the bridge between policy making, legislation and administrative branches of county gov- ernment.” Pritchard says she strives to provide high-quality re- search and advice to council; ensure timely and effective implementation of council decisions; and she exercises general control and management of administration, personnel, budgeting, policy devel- opment, capital works and operations of all county functions. Many of these functions are in support of economic development initiatives and goals. Pritchard says her experience with economic development professionals is that the job requires energy and optimism and gender does not play into success. DUFFERIN COUNTY Michele Harris leads tourism initiatives with collaboration and co-operation Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature Michele Harris, executive director Dufferin County's Hills of Headwaters Tourism Association, entered her economic development career through a side door, like many others. Harris received a commerce degree then worked in media before deciding to work in her own community when she had children. “I did freelance work and then opened a boutique marketing agency, helping small busi- nesses with their marketing needs and ultimately devel- oping a specialization in tourism hospitality and destination development,” she said. Her work in that field has shaped her own view of tourism as a key economic sector for Dufferin County's overall economic development. “There has been a shift in the understanding that tourism is a valuable asset as an economic driver,” she said. “Especially in more rural communities where tourism is also a reflection of local values and gives a community a sense of place.” Harris says Dufferin County has taken a unique ap- proach to economic development, bringing together dis- tinct organizations, including the Hills of Headwaters Tourism Association. Each group brings to the table clearly identified lenses, combining a collective story and common challenges to achieve important synergies. In her private work, Harris has made connections with a variety of industries and recognizes the benefits of public and private partnerships. “This all makes sense from a tourism perspective as well,” she says. “Often tourism is a first introduction to a community. It’s impor- tant to look at continuing and evolving that.” As a woman and mother, Harris made changes to her career path that brought her to where she is today, something she sees other women often do as well. She says women's careers often need to change course as their lives evolve. She has also noticed the increasing acceptance of women into community leadership responsibilities. “Now, whether you are male or female, the key to suc- cess in economic development is all about authentic connections.” She says success lies in proving yourself, proving you can deliver, being respectful of the people and busi- nesses in your community and in achieving the end goal. “It can be difficult to balance new concepts with existing thought processes but if it’s done properly, can change the way things happen. You have to both push the enve- lope on things you believe in and understand that what you do has to reflect the values of the community you represent.” Her advice to young people considering careers is to understand that tourism promotion/economic develop- ment can be a competitive and demanding. It isn't an in- dustry based in black and white or right and wrong, and learning from the bottom up is the only way to truly un- derstand and develop credibility. “This is a do-everything, start at the bottom and work hard to succeed kind of profession. It’s about owning a team vision and wanting only for the community you rep- resent to be successful, strong and sustainable.” The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Winter 2015 – 25 EDO INSURANCE AND SURETY Canadian Construction law and insurance: Challenges couple with opportunities as industry evolves Canadian Design and Construction Report staff writer What does the future hold for Canada's construction in- dustry from legal and insurance perspectives? Speakers at the Canadian Bar Association's biennial Na- tional Construction Law Conference in Toronto this past fall explored some of the challenges affecting the industry at the Building for the Future Conference. About 100 con- struction lawyers and industry representatives partici- pated. Conference chair Andrew Heal, founding partner with construction law firm Heal & Co, Andrew LLP, said the conference covered a wide Heal range of topics including the increasing global competition for local construction work, “in-house” counsel perspectives, chal- lenges arising from infrastructure deficit, insurance, bond- ing and alternative performance and payment security, continued shortages in skilled trades, and ethical and pro- fessional considerations in today’s procurement environ- ment. “Procurement challenges are a key concern,” he said. “Project delivery models are changing and though the in- tent is for everything to be open and transparent, the rules often include onerous requirements that limit bidders.” Keynote speaker Stephen Bauld, president and CEO of 26 – Winter 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report Purchasing Consultants International Inc., addressed this issue, speaking about the shrinking pool of bidding con- tractors as time goes on; pre-qualification becoming very specific; and specifications that seem written towards a specific company. Bauld also said smaller contractors with no expertise to bid have also become a looming issue. Maurice Audet, senior vice-president and senior ac- count manager with AON Insurance Brokers and Risk Con- sultants, described the challenges contractors face when they believe insurance covers more than it does. “Sometimes we look at a project’s risks and only about 20 per cent is insurable. Issues like weather and labour can create significant problems for proj- ects that are not covered.” Audet says the industry only has to look to the situation in Alberta a few years ago, when every project seemed to come in late and over budget, to un- derstand the implications of skilled labour shortages. “We’re seeing project owners pushing risk too far down the chain,” he said. “The result will either be com- panies cutting corners or being hurt financially themselves in order to compete.” He says a better option from an insurance perspective may be first-party, rather than third-party risk. Transferring the risk to the property insurer up front he says offers more predictable outcomes when a loss may occur. Heal says panel discussions also included a discussion of mega projects in which strict schedule compliance is sometimes more important than cost, and cost overruns may be incurred to avoid schedule slippage because of the impact of lost production revenue from the owner’s per- spective. The issue of skilled trades was also a key recurring theme. “Other panel discussions covered topics such as insur- ance and bonding issues; urban renewal; insolvency and construction; and exporting construction expertise – fo- cusing on dispute resolution issues.” Heal says the construction industry is growing and has an opportunity to drive the Canadian economy. Service providers on the legal and insurance sides he says, must find ways to grow and adapt to add value to projects and clients. Just recently, a survey of C-suite executives across Canada ranked infrastructure renewal and increased infra- structure spending as the most important issue for the fed- eral government in 2015. “The general sense from the conference was one of en- ergy and optimism for the future of the construction indus- try, and all of us working together to help it succeed,” said Heal. “From hospitals and better health care to improved roads and ease of transportation, construction is vital to our country’s quality of life.” Our experts Our build with experts build with you from you from start the the start HUB International’s Construction & Surety Team: With proven leadership in major projects, and HUB’s combination of size, experience and longevity in the industry, we deliver the insurance and surety experience and support required in today’s construction environment. regional expertise, comprehensive programs, extensive resources and superior insurance needs.

Nelly Toledo, a Canadian Accredited Insurance Broker, partner and vice-president with HUB, helps her clients meet their risk management needs with a perspective and expertise that comes with 30 years of insurance experi- ence, 20 of which have been focused on the construction industry. “I meet regularly to discuss my clients’ progress or any project issues they may encounter,” she says. “Part of my job is to be constantly sharing ideas to ensure my clients are receiving top notch advice and service.” For the coming year, Toledo says there is no expectation that rates will change. However, busi- ness owners should be aware that there may be more demand for Contractor’s Errors and Omissions and Environmental Liability cover- age. “Insureds should be cautious when remitting their bid as these coverages are not often included as part of the insured’s general Scott Beitel package. The premium for these coverages can be substantial and, if the cost is not in- cluded in the bid, it may have a considerable impact on the contractor’s overall profit, if they are successful in securing the job.” As the new year is always a good opportunity to take stock of a business and its position, Toledo suggests there are some important coverage issues all businesses should be aware of including: the basis of loss settlement on rented contractor’s equipment is usually actual cash value and should be amended to replacement cost (often re- stricted to five years from date of manufacture), as stipu- lated in most rental contracts; weight overload exclusions should be removed under equipment and liability cover- ages; ensure coverage is not excluded on equipment situ- ated or being operated underground; ensure explosion, collapse and underground work is not excluded under lia- bility; be cautious of frost and freezing exclusions. It is not just general insurance coverage that factors into the insurance picture. Scott Beitel, Ontario surety leader, says part of his role is working with colleagues across the country to enhance and promote surety products. “There are differences regionally depending on municipalities and 28 – Winter 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report various bond owners which are important to understand,” he said. “HUB’s breadth of experience and geographic range makes this easier.” Beitel says despite the fact that surety has been around for a long time, people still don’t understand its complexi- ties. He says surety is underwritten much differently than insurance and can be difficult to secure without proper guidance. “Surety is a more intimate process,” he says. “One of our first tasks is to educate our clients on the process involved and the time commitment.” He says early involvement with clients is crucial be- cause a surety bond broker can identify problems with con- tracts proactively and then act as a resource, consulting across a range of specialties. “We have consultants we can call on for legal guidance, or for engineering advice,” says Beitel. “Many of us have specific industry experience including finance, accounting, un- derwriting and construction. As an office specialized in surety, we re- view multiple contracts daily so we have experience other firms may not.” He says in many cases the onus and risk on projects is being pushed further down the line as part of the norm and while some contractors may accept the risk without receiving a higher reward Nelly Toledo for that added liability, many oth- ers are not even aware the additional risk is there. HUB reviews contracts regularly and tries to give clients advice early on in contract negotiations to respond more proactively to the terms and conditions set out and to give advice to clients on requests to take back to the prime con- tract. He says it is also important for contractors to under- stand who the end owner on a project is. “With a greater number of consortiums, joint ventures and new project owners, contractors need to have a clear understanding of who they are working for and the liabilities that are both laid out and implied.” With industry changes including project bundling, Beitel says competition from foreign interests, decreased mar- gins and more onerous contracts make it more challenging for contractors, and additional issues including cash flow management and hold-backs add additional pressure. Beitel says that by “getting involved in a project early, HUB becomes a business partner both on the surety and non-surety side. We can help structure a contract with the end in mind and can assist with other aspects of the busi- ness to ensure a project succeeds.” Ontario's top five contractors Innovation, experience, diversity define the best in the business TOP 5 Canadian Design and Construction Report staff writer In some respects, it is easy to select the best in any business. You almost instinctively know the leaders and often can measure rankings through tangible characteristics such as sales volume, em- ployee count or longevity. Yet there are other qualities that come into the picture; and this listing compiled by Canadian De- sign and Construction Report's editors takes on the challenge with a more subjective approach based on our 25 years’ experience in the construction community. This allows us to appreciate both com- panies with staying power and newer businesses with a distinct marketplace edge. If you seek minimum qualifications, you'll find four out of five of the leading contractors belong to the Ontario General Contractors Association (OGCA). Dancor, the one exception, is also a prop- erty owner and developer, with a strong southwest- ern Ontario and Greater Toronto/Hamilton focus. Several contractors have built years of regional success, including Charter Building in the Niagara/St. Catharines area, Mike Moore in Sault St. Marie and Aquicon in Brampton/GTA. PCL, on the other hand, is an international company, but its em- ployee ownership model has resulted in a sustain- able, passionate and enduring industry success. We ranked our Top Five contractors on their safety track record, community service initiatives, and creativity in adapting to changing market con- ditions. These contractors will build what they know – with reliability and competence – and can often handle the more challenging jobs while re- maining competitive in price and delivery on more standard projects.

In addition, the com- pany owns tenant-occupied proper- ties and is expanding its industrial portfolio. The 11-year-old business, led by partners Danny Sanita and Sean Ford, gets projects “started quickly, out of the ground, and finished early - on budget or below budget and early,” Ford said. His design-build experience com- bined Sanita's excavation expertise enables Dancor to serve clients when time is tight or the requirements are complicated or intricate, he said. Dancor has been lauded by the City of London and City of Mississauga for 30 – Winter 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report its tremendous work and contribu- tions to those cities. The company has also been named one of Canada's 50 Best Managed Companies for the third year in a row. “We work very hard to please our clients and staff, but to be recognized by such an important organization is a fantastic honour which we cherish very much,” said Sanita. Part of Dancor’s success lies in its core values. The two men grew up in the same North York community and each brings hard work and strong family values to the business. “Our parents worked very hard after com- ing to Ontario and we want to honour them in the work we do,” said Sanita. The “Dancor Approach” is a simple one. As a developer, builder and land- lord, the company approaches each new client and project as if it is its very own. “You have to understand and ap- preciate what your clients are going through, that they need you to take all the headaches away and give them an exceptional product that allows them to grow their business and we do this very, very well,” said Ford. The firm has offices in Brampton, serving the GTHA, and in London, serving southwestern Ontario. “The province is back, industrial permits are increasing, and entrepre- neurs are venturing out again needing new and improved facilities,” said Ford. “There is little land left in the GTA so we expect to see the growth of smaller but significant cities and towns as Ontario gets back on its feet.” Sanita says Dancor’s future is di- rectly tied to its exceptional clients. Reluctant to single out any single proj- ect, Dancor has ties to Fed Ex, Oshkosh/London Machinery, EXP, Kongsberg Defense, and Fastenal. Dancor has also completed the de- Aquicon Construction Co.

The company’s head office is in London, Ontario with branches across Canada. Larry Parker works from the Calgary branch and has been supply- ing truss plants from an Edmonton distribution yard for 30 years. Most of the high end and MSR lum- ber comes from mills in B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan. Although Parker’s main focus is the Prairies, he is able to quote and ship to truss plants as far as the Maritimes. NFP supplies a variety of products including long length finger joint lum- ber, ‘Pinnacle’ cedar and 100 per cent PVC decking. National is FSC Certified and sup- plies most buying groups including the Alberta, Saskatchewan and Mani- toba Truss Associations. Parker says the advantages of hav- ing a distribution yard is the ability to purchase extra product when the mar- ket conditions are right, and to be able to mix loads to suit customers’ needs to help them balance their inventories. Parker says National Forest Prod- ucts has a good reputation within the industry for supplying quality products and always delivering what they prom- ise. This is also his commitment. “Our goal is to supply high end product lines that supercede market standards and satisfy the discriminat- ing buyers’ needs. Our motto is, ‘qual- ity, quality, quality.’ For more information, contact larry@nationalforestproducts.com, visitwww.nationalforestproducts.com, or call 1 (800 ) 239-0415. National Forest Products Ltd evolved from an older company that began in the 1930’s. By the time it was incorporated in 1992, NFP already had 70 years of experience in the lumber industry. NFP is a distributor, wholesaler & broker of the highest quality softwood lumber products. They service independent retail lumber dealers throughout all of Canada, and are beginning their transition into the U.S. market. NFP owns a distribution facility, strategically located in Orillia, ON. With a location just north of Toronto, and just south of the Muskoka region, it gives them a great central location to service Ontario and Quebec markets. NFP also facilitates warehouse space in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, and now New Jersey, to have product able to service nearby markets. Over the last decade, National Forest Products has grown and expanded its business. With the development of the Pinnacle programs, and the opening of two other divisions, NFP has begun to separate itself from the competition. In 2010, Thuja Transport Company was incorporated to offer long haul, on-time service to customers and distribution. In 2011, NFP began a manufacturing division that handles Western Red Cedar Specialties & Exports. The Specialty & Export division mainly focuses on cutting high quality cedar posts and timbers. 10325 Bonaventure Dr. SE, Suite 400B, Calgary, AB T2J 7E4 Phone: (403) 571-0595 Fax: (403) 571-0597 www.nationalforestproducts.com 34 – Winter 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report WOOD CONSTRUCTION New building code rules could change industry paradigm Will new mid-rise wood building construction change the character of the wood truss/component industry? The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Winter 2015 – 35 Canadian Design and Construction Report staff writer With Ontario joining B.C. in allowing builders to con- struct wooden structures up to six-storeys high, many, in- cluding the Ontario Wood Truss Fabricators Association (OWTFA), are reviewing their mandates to become more all encompassing associations to the Ontario structural wood marketplace and to assist in unifying the stakehold- ers in mid-rise construction.

BOISE CASCADE, the TREE-IN-A-CIRCLE symbol and “Great products are only the beginning” are trademarks of Boise Cascade Company or its affiliates. 36 – Winter 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report OWTFA executive director Mike Phillips says the con- struction industry is generally fairly conservative. He says adaptability will be the key to changing the paradigm under the new code. “Mid-rise construction is just part of the pic- ture. Wood pieces and components made from wood will also come into play.” He says decisions will have to be made about how in- dustry suppliers will serve smaller property builders. Will truss fabricators for instance take on supplying other com- ponents for the builder, or will they partner with another company who can? He says deciding which course to take will be a challenge. He said the OWFTA decided at its last annual general meeting to explore these issues. “Many truss fabricators sell other engineered wood products already; some sell lumber and other elements,” Phillips said. “From an engi- neering and wood design perspective then it might not be a big leap to jump into producing other components.” Phillips says the association hopes to have a plan on ex- panding its scope early in the new year. He says, as with U.S. counterpart Structural Building Components Associa- tion, the industry may need to take on a broader mandate to meet changing demands. The Canadian Wood Truss Association (CWTA) is an um- brella association representing, on a national level, six re- gional truss industry associations, and the Truss Plate Institute of Canada. Executive secretary Jerry Cvach says the organization works with authorities and other organi- zations, including the Canadian Wood Council (CWC). “The strength of our industry has always been the regional in- fluences so we represent the industry nationally but work to maintain the regional influences.” CWTA focuses primarily on the industry’s engineering goals. “We listen to the regional associations and their is- sues and concerns, fund research and development and work closely with the CWC to provide solutions.” Some of that research and development is aimed at supporting the industry in moving into more mainstream commercial projects. The industry is looking at designs for commercial applications, investigating whether there are WOOD CONSTRUCTION barriers that could impact commercial market sales and then will set a course based on the research. While the national and Ontario associations take stock and evaluate their future direction, other work is coming to fruition. A new BCSI (Building Component Safety Information) document now of- fers a distinct Canadian perspective. “A Canadian publication, with our codes and measures was long overdue,” said Phillips. In Ontario, the association has also begun awarding scholarships to students attending com- munity college in engineering and architectural pro- grams. Phillips says this is both a means of giving back and a way to encourage students, through di- rect support, into these disciplines. Special skills required and the work's seasonal nature can make recruiting from school a challenge unless trade school curricula changes. To cope with labour shortages, particularly that of experi- enced truss builders, most companies find they have to hire unskilled labour and then train them in the skills they require. Phillips says the industry is also making progress setting a new standard quality control program which will ensure minimum standards. “Eventually there should be a third-party audit of a quality control program.” While he says mandated programs have often been met with some resistance, in general every- one understands that quality controls level the play- ing field, ensure a better quality product and support the overall industry. Previously, different provinces set their own quality control standards, but a more uniform ap- proach is coming into place. Cvach considers that health and safety could be- come the association’s next project. “Alberta has its own health and safety program with auditors. B.C. is learning from Alberta and Saskatchewan and Manitoba are also coming on board.” Meanwhile, Phillips says the Ontario association has never been stronger. “We have a record num- ber of 37 truss members this year.” While a decline in the U.S. residential market im- pacted the industry, he says the Ontario residential market stayed strong and companies were able to survive. “We had a late start to the season with a harsh winter last year but work is still going on and companies are working later into the year than nor- mal.” Phillips suggests there is potential that the U.S. market is picking up again and he says this is adding to optimism and an overall feeling that the industry has weathered the latest storm and has emerged stronger than before. “There are still challenges ahead but we’re in a good place and upbeat about the future,” he said. Boise Cascade adapts its wood products to regional market and builder requirements CaDCR special feature Operating in the U.S. and Canada, as well as internationally, Boise Cascade has developed a building materials distribution network with a proven track record of providing quality wood products to its customers, including secondary manufactur- ers, retail lumber dealers and home improvement centres. Boise Cascade is a leading manufacturer of engineered wood products including laminated veneer lumber, I-joists and laminated beams. It also manufactures plywood, particle- board, and high-quality ponderosa pine lumber. The company operates the two largest laminated veneer lumber and I-joist manufacturing plants in the world and, through a network of 60 Boise Cascade distributors through- out North America delivers regional product mixes, with on- time delivery and after-sales service. Pedro Da Silva, national marketing manager for Canada, says Boise is committed to the industry. “We view ourselves as a service provider rather than simply a product provider. This means offering solutions and becoming a strategic part- ner with our clients.” These include new tools for dealers' software efficiencies. “These solutions are constantly evolving. Our B.C. Connect software is one such solution set to be rolled out in the new year.” Da Silva says Boise is a national player, yet able to tailor its products and services to each regional market's needs. Local markets are distinct and each builder builds differently, he said, so the company combines a regional focus with atten- tion to detail. Boise sources all of its raw materials from certified sustain- able forests. The company also enforces strict environmental and procurement policies and standards.

The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Winter 2015 – 37 WOOD CONSTRUCTION B.C.'s Wood Innovation and Design Centre demonstrates potential for tall wood structures around the world Canadian Design and Construction Report Special Feature British Columbia’s Wood Inno- vation and Design Centre (WIDC) opened in October on time and on budget. The six-storey, 29.5 m. (roughly 90 ft.) high building is one of North America’s tallest contem- porary wood buildings. The project in Prince George started as a collaborative effort be- tween 13 B.C. companies includ- ing wood sourcing and value-added wood products providers. It is expected to be a catalyst for future tall wood con- struction across Canada and around the globe. The building has been designed to use the maximum amount of wood possible, including a cedar exterior. One hundred per cent of the primary structure, above the foundation, will be comprised of wood. Locally-sourced douglas fir, cedar, pine and spruce will be used in the engineered wood products including glulam columns and beams, cross-laminated timber and laminated veneer lumber, all manufactured in B.C. “Given that this is such an inno- vative project, there were a lot of new elements that had never been done before, so we had to be cre- 38 – Winter 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report ative and come up with brand new solutions,” said Chad Kaldal, project manager, PCL Constructors West Coast Inc, which led the building's construction. “It was a great op- portunity for us to really test the boundaries of wood con- struction.” The 4,821 sq. m. building includes, among other things, 383 CLT (cross laminated timber) panels and 376 glulam beams and columns. Parallel strand lumber (PSL) and lam- inated veneer lumber (LVL) has also been incorporated. The design is also intended to purposely show the in- novative structural design, and not cover it up, allowing people to see the wood structure and unique floor slab system as the actual finish. The underside of the cross- laminated timber floor slab system will be exposed wher- ever possible with the mechanical and electrical infrastructure concealed in the innovative staggered chases within the floor slab. With many arguments against wood construction fo- cused on fire resistance, a fact document about the WIDC directly addresses this. “Fire resistance is provided through a fully engineered approach, rather than the more common encapsulation method,” the document says. “This means that, rather than protecting the wood structure from exposure to fire by covering it with non- combustible material, the wood is left exposed.” The document goes on to explain that mass timber ele- ments char, rather than burn in the presence of flame. “The required structural sections are therefore oversized, and protected by a ‘sacrificial’ layer of wood that will char slowly enough to provide the required fire protection.” Charred western red panels used as exterior cladding provide similar fire resistance because the centuries-old charring process “changes the molecular structure of the skin of the wood cladding through thermal conditioning of its surface, making it more resistant to flame.” Michael Green Architecture Inc. designed the structure. Other consultants included: Structural engineer Equilib- rium Consulting Inc, code consultant B.R. Thorson Consult- ing Ltd., and RDH Building Engineering Ltd. taking on the building envelope. The new provincial government building has been funded in part by the B.C. Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training. It will house demonstration spaces to show- case innovative wood products.

In recognition for the challenging engineering and construction achievement, El- lisDon received the Gold and Silver Award in the “General Contractor $15 million to $55 million” category at the re- cent Vancouver Regional Construction Association's (VCRA) 26 th annual Awards of Excellence. “The Silver Award winners this year truly represent the finest of our industry,” VCRA president Fiona Famulak said in published report. “These companies were able to bring projects of the highest calibre in on time and on budget, and we are proud to honour them at this year’s event.” The 31,653 sq. ft. ARIEL facility is part of TRIUMF, Canada’s national laboratory for particle and nuclear physics, on the University of British Columbia's (UBC) south campus. TRIUMF is one of the world’s leading sub- atomic physics laboratories, bringing together dedicated physicists and interdisciplinary talent, sophisticated techni- cal resources, and innovative commercial partners. 40 – Winter 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report ARIEL features a state-of-the-art electron linear acceler- ator employing superconducting radio frequency technol- ogy, which will be used to triple TRIUMF's capabilities for producing beams of rare isotopes and will expand the range of isotopes produced. These exotic isotopes are used for science, medicine and business, ranging from studying the nature of stars and how complex patterns arise from relatively simple building blocks, to investigate novel isotopes to be used in medical research, including looking for new ways to detect and treat disease like cancer. It is estimated that ARIEL and TRIUMF will generate an economic impact of $750 million and create 1,200 jobs over five years. Isotope production is a highly complex enterprise, in- volving the accelerator and its associated support infra- structure (like cryogenics), beam transport lines, high-power production targets, and specially-designed civil infrastructure, including concrete walls six (sometimes nine) feet thick, which serve both as a structural element as well as a protective barrier from radiation emitted by the process. Structural steel, metal cladding and curtain wall helped the building blend in on the campus. The building services are a marvel of complex intercon- nected subsystems. Mechanical considerations included provisions for venting radioactive gas, stainless steel en- closures, HEPA and carbon dioxide scrubbers to purify the air, and three different sanitary systems. Two distinct elec- trical systems were required: a high voltage consultant and a low voltage consultant. The integrated systems work to- gether to meet the highly demanding power requirements of each of this new building's elements. safeguardfenceltd.ca SAFE-GUARD FENCE LTD is a well established company that has provided outstanding service and meticulous workmanship since 1985.

According to EllisDon, this required close collaboration with TRIUMF to create “a comprehensive and timely schedule of construction completion while avoiding the impediment of the facility’s ground-breaking research.” Despite its complexities, the building has been designed to achieve LEED Gold certification. The overall project cost, including specialized equipment, was $62.0 million with support from the National Research Council Canada (NRC), Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI), the province of B.C. and partners in India and the U.S. The Awards of Excellence were presented in October at the Vancouver Convention Centre at a gala which has be- come a premier industry event. This year, 149 total entrants and 31 projects were considered. Additional project-related awards were granted in the trade contractor, electrical contractor, mechanical contrac- tor, and manufacturer and supplier categories. Other awards included Member of the Year, Lifetime Achievement, Education Leadership, Safety, Outstanding Woman in Construction, Innovation and Productivity, Con- struction Workplace Health & Safety Innovation, and the U40 Excellence in Construction Award. Scaffold Industry Association of Canada aims to raise industry's safety standards Canadian Design and Construction Report staff writer The Scaffold Industry Association of Canada (SIAC) is a member-driven association with chapters in Ontario, Alberta, Quebec and Eastern Canada. Its members include scaffold contractors, manufacturers, field service in- stallation companies, engineers and general interest members. The association has about 150 members across Canada. The Ontario chapter represents 80, with a workforce of about 3,000. One of SIAC’s key objectives is to raise the scaffold industry's safety standards, by representing its members in the development of improved standards and regulations and to disseminate information to its members. Since a tragic workplace accident on Christmas Eve 2009, the SIAC has been working closely with the Ministry of Labour and a tri-partite industry working group to prepare a proposed regulation for suspended access equipment. Jim Wilkinson, SIAC director and government relations committee leader, says the working group has been working hard to define new train- ing standards for users and installers of suspended access equipment as well as comprehensive design and engineering requirements. The Building and Concrete Restoration Association of Ontario has also participated in this process. “We created a proposal that was sent out to the labour – management network of the construction industry for their comment and input and we expect to complete a consensus proposal to be sent to the Minister of Labour early (this year),” Wilkinson said. Wilkinson says SIAC created its government relations committee to work on this and other similar issues and to create a more formal relation- ship with the regulatory authorities. “We’ve made recommendations for regulation amendments that will set out requirements for building owners doing restoration work, compre- hensive requirements for project planning and user training,” he said. On the engineering side, he says the recommendations clarify many of the requirements for design and testing and outline specific requirements for site-specific engineering. The only controversial issue he says has been non-destructive testing of welds and equipment components. The Ministry has proposed strin- gent requirements for testing all welds and serializing components but Wilkinson says industry believes this requirement is impractical and will result in little benefit to the safety of the users of the equipment. The working group proposal recommends a stringent mandatory inspection protocol. Meanwhile other committees of SIAC are focused on training, sus- pended access, fixed scaffolding, and continue to work to educate and provide added value for members. “We have a quarterly magazine for members, an annual golf tournament for networking and we try to keep our website updated with important news and information.” The association has also developed guidelines for safe codes of prac- tice and its members share information about new technologies and equipment. SIAC members also participate on technical committees of the Canadian Standards Association. For more information about SIAC, visit scaffoldaccess.ca.

Building and Concrete Restoration Association of Ontario (BCRAO) represents industry's interests Advocacy, training and information for building maintenance contractors and professionals Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature The Building and Concrete Restoration Association of Ontario (BCRAO) traces its roots to 1985, when the Con- crete Restoration Association of Ontario (CRAO) organized to represent contractors and suppliers. By 1996, the or- ganization was renamed as engineers joined and its scope expanded. Today, BCRAO represents 100 organizations employing about 4,000 workers. From its beginnings as a source of information, training and technical seminars, BCRAO has grown to take on an instrumental role lobbying government on behalf of mem- bers. From the 90s issues of rent control to Bill 124 to the current Ministry of Labour task force into working at heights, the association has been an active participant. “The 2009 accident that killed four workers Christmas Eve was a pivotal moment and set the stage for a task force that we are proud to be part of and that will be crit- ical to the industry moving forward,” said BCRAO presi- dent Philip Sarvinis. Besides its important role lobbying the government about issues affecting its members, Sarvinis says the as- sociation also supports members through seminars fo- cused on soft-touch issues including business operations and worker attraction and retention. “Our industry has definitely been impacted by a demo- graphic of aging artists. As these experienced craftsman retire it is crucial not only that companies attract young people willing to learn, but also that they find ways to keep them by keeping them engaged and appreciated.” Sarvinis says the association is working closely with Humber College to develop a post-graduate certificate program for restoration work which he hopes will be in place by 2016. He says there also is a critical need for individuals skilled in heritage work. “Only about five percent of our members do this specialized work. It is labour and time in- tensive and it takes time to build the expertise required.” Continued on page 49 The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Winter 2015 – 47 Read Jones Christoffersen (RJC) Ltd. specializes in concrete and building restoration engineering challenges Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature Read Jones Christoffersen Ltd. (RJC) has grown from a purely structural engineering firm to one of the leading consultants in the concrete and building restoration indus- try. Its success is based on an ability to adapt to client needs and an understanding of how structures behave and perform in the Canadian environment. Beginning in 1948 as a structural engineering firm, the company added parking planning, then concrete restora- tion and building restoration. It also expanded its opera- tions from its western base to include eastern offices. RJC now operates in Vancouver, Victoria, Nanaimo, Calgary, Ed- monton, Lethbridge, Kitchener, Toronto and Kingston and has a growing staff of 475. Managing principal Philip Sarvinis, P.Eng., says the com- pany’s evolution and history allows it to view each project individually and to seek best approach, rather than imple- ment cookie-cutter solutions. “This approach sets us apart from many others in the industry who have a standard ap- proach to handle a standard problem. We recognize there is nothing standard and apply our experience and expertise to assess the problem from first principles and then find the best and most cost-effective solution for each project.” RJC started its structural restoration group in 1977 to assist clients with deteriorating building stock. “As struc- tural engineers we knew how structures behaved and how they perform structurally when exposed to our environ- ment. Knowing how they are designed, how they behave pre and post deterioration stage, makes us the ideal choice to rehabilitate these structures.” Sarvinis says research and development is a big part of the company’s culture and ensures staff is at the top of their game and that the company continues to explore new possibilities and new solutions. “In the 80s we were the first to bring hydro-demolition to Toronto when we worked on the Manulife Centre parking garage. This was a mixed residential and commercial property so restoration work had to be sensitive to the needs of both and traditional methods would have been too disruptive.” The company has also worked on the Terminal 2 parking garage at Pearson International Airport, the CN Tower, the Toronto Convention Centre, Sheraton Centre Hotel, York- dale Shopping Centre and Toronto City Hall. Sarvinis says employee safety is paramount. In-house and off-site training and courses are required before any staff member is allowed on a job site. Continued on page 49 48 – Winter 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report Continued from page 48 “Not only do we want our employees to be safe on a construction site, we want them to feel comfortable and confident when they are outside of the normal office envi- ronment,” he said. “In addition to safety, our company is somewhat unique as we encourage our staff to take own- ership for the work they produce and projects they work on. They need to know and understand that they are an im- portant part of a team that is solving our client’s prob- lems.” Sarvinis says these philosophies have contributed to successful employee retention. He says in the past 10 years not a single staff member has left for a competitor. RJC specializes in the rehabilitation of cast-in-place con- crete, precast concrete and post-tensioned concrete struc- tures and building facades. It has developed a niche in the assessment and rehabilitation of post-tensioned structures and will continue to grow its offices and capabilities as the market demands. “The future of the concrete restoration is growth and we see ourselves at the forefront of this growth,” he said. Continued from page 47 Adding to the challenge of skilled labour is a positive: the industry and demand for concrete and building restora- tion is growing. “We’ve seen tremendous growth over the past two decades that is continuing.” Sarvinis says demand for association members' serv- ices is increasing as building owners and managers gain a better understanding of the financial and safety benefits of maintianing properties for longer term use. “There is still always a challenge in educating owners on the right way to do things, compared with the cheapest way to do things,” he said. “But owners are becoming bet- ter informed.” He said new start-up companies can operate more cheaply with less overhead but may also have less experi- ence and knowledge and sometimes less interest in worker safety. BCRAO hosts an annual golf tournament to get mem- bers together for networking, as well as an annual general meeting. Many of the association’s members will also at- tend Concrete World, scheduled for February in Las Vegas. Sarvinis says this event is a strong educational event and provides members a chance to get a first look at new equipment and products. For more information about BCRAO, visit http://bcrao.com.

The industry has deep roots. The Ontario Industrial Roofing Contractors Association (OIRCA) celebrated its fiftieth anniversary in 2014 with a renewed commitment to higher and more reliable quality industry standards. Mean- while, across Canada, the industry has dealt with many challenges from internal and external sources, and is preparing to tackle many more in the coming year. Canadian Roofing Contractors’ Association (CRCA) ex- ecutive director Bob Brunet says labour has been the biggest challenge. “Skilled labour shortages and demo- graphic forces are reshaping the roofing industry’s work- force,” he said. “Our workers are getting older and trying to attract the younger generation is a challenge.” While technological improvements are intended to make things easier and improve quality, these have created 50 – Winter 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report challenges for contractors. Brunet says everything from GPS technology to BIM (Building Information Modelling) to modularization of roofing components “has and will con- tinue to impact our contractors.” Looking ahead to 2015, Brunet says roofing contractors will be further challenged, in some cases with the funda- mentals of how they do business. “I believe we’re going to see that the evolving payment terms will cause serious risk and cash-flow problems, not only for the roofing in- dustry, but all of the construction industry,” he said. In addition, increased competition, and not only from outside of Canada, is a concern. “Our industry has to be aware of inter-provincial competition as well. Workers will continue to be mobile and relocate where the work is and in Canada the hot spots are mainly in British Columbia, Al- berta, Saskatchewan, parts of Ontario and Newfoundland.” Brunet says labour supply will continue to be an issue until a basic mindset change occurs. He says construction careers are still seen as a second or third choice to the younger generation. This is unfortunate because the per- ception is incorrect. “Anyone opting for a trade career can look forward to a challenging career with excellent opportunities for ad- vancement,” he said. “Students entering a career in the trade sector will usually enter the workplace with much less debt than if he or she was coming out of university.” He says it is important for people to understand that roofing has become more complex and requires a different skill set than in the past with less reliance on physical work and more on mental efforts. “Workers must be skilled in areas such as quality assur- ance when working with single ply technologies,” he said. “Continuous training and development of our employees and allowing them to grow and progress within the indus- try will be a key for our industry.” He says there is potential help through the federal gov- ernment’s Canada Job Grant. Brunet says the program, ad- ministered by each province, helps employers train new or existing employees for jobs that need to be filled. In addition to essential labour and continued training, there is also concern about the aging demographic of busi- ness owners who, nearing retirement, must define and plan their exit strategies. He says CRCA will continue to work with industry part- ners including the Canadian Construction Association and the National Trade Contractors Coalition of Canada to mon- itor and react to labour issues. ROOFTech, the biennial Canadian Roofing Exposition, has been scheduled for May 5, 2015 at the Vancouver Con- vention Centre. Brunet says the show has had huge suc- cess with its concept of seminars and live demonstrations during the trade show and the concept remains for this year. “We are in the process of finalizing the seminars and at least one of them will have a Western flair to it.” He says the last ROOFTech offered continuous education credits to many professionals attending the seminars. The hope is to expand the group of professionals who will qualify for credits at ROOFTech 2015. Brunet says he anticipates VOCs, hazardous product regulations, occupancy safety and sustainable and green building rating systems will be increasingly important chal- lenges. “On a national basis the number one priority in the work- place is worker safety and it will continue to be. Along with that, occupancy safety is also becoming very important when you are doing work on a building that is occupied.” For more information on CRCA, visit www.roofingcanada.com.

The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Winter 2015 – 51 Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems (EIFS) in 2014 “The stars align for EIFS” Special to the Canadian Design and Construction Report Submitted by the EIFS Council of Canada In the not too distant past, the term “EIFS” (pronounced eefs), was understood by certain sectors of the design community to mean a ‘lower cost cladding” (emphasis added) which effectively minimized the many building sci- ence advantages that EIFS provided. EIFS was no longer the acronym for Exterior Insulation and Finish System, but a label, a word having its own definition quite unlike the initialized words it represents. Today, the EIFS Council of Canada would like the designer and user communities to revisit EIFS, and in doing so, redefine their perceptions to fit with current technology and understandings. Historically, EIFS have been used on all building types, from small to very large and in a variety of architectural styles. This led to EIFS being best known for its design flexibility. Unfortunately, the flexibility that was meant to 52 – Winter 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report be exclusively available to the aesthetic, was extended to functional design features and limitations, as well as to ap- plication canon that had preserved EIFS performance for its first 25 years of use in North America. The result was what came to be known as the EIFS water intrusion crisis. The various contributory factors have been explored, dissected, examined and debated over in- numerable papers and articles and won’t be unpacked here. The bottom line was EIFS needed to change, and it has. Although much has changed, foundationally, EIFS re- mains an Exterior Insulation and Finish System, with the greatest emphasis deservedly placed on its insulating na- ture. Coming into 2015, expectations on enclosure systems are very high. The EIFS industry has done its homework to ready itself to meet these expectations and surprisingly to some, surpass many performance characteristics of alter- native exterior insulating strategies. EIFS and its components Exterior Beyond EIFS’ continuous insulation on the outside of exterior walls, the System aspect of EIFS places other key components on the exterior side of the wall. The System’s required Water Resistive Barrier (WRB) has the primary function of protecting the underlying structure. However, it can also act as the control layer capable of managing wall system behaviors such as air leakage and vapour dif- fusion. Today, all EIFS designed in compliance with the newly codified i S716 series of ULC Standards must include the WRB (water resistive barrier). The required performance characteristics of the WRB are very stringent and in com- parison to traditional building papers, having a water ab- sorption coefficient that is established over three days ii as opposed to paper’s old 30 to 60 minute rating system. The WRB is able to provide effective air leakage control as a key component of the wall’s air barrier system. All EIFS manufacturer’s Liquid Applied WRBs reviewed have a tested air leakage rate of less than the code’s required 0.02L/(sq. m.) @75Pa pressure difference iii . They’re also available in a range of vapour permeance ratings, affording the designer the ability to balance WRB permeability and wall system characteristics, with the building’s interior moisture load and the external environment. Having these two key control layers on the same plane within the wall is desirable for a variety of reasons, simpli- fication of construction being just one. The location being both external and protected, renders the approach ideal. Conceptually, and of course figuratively speaking, Dr. Joseph W. Lstiburek describes this arrangement, along with a protective cladding and exterior insulation as com- prising the “Perfect Wall.” iv Figure 1. Exterior Layers Insulation The exterior insulation of EIFS has been part of the sys- tem’s make-up since its inception. Always touted by its proponents as having greater effective R-value than many alternative approaches, the degree of difference and vali- dation of that difference has only recently found its way into accessible documentation such as ASHRAE’s 90.1 En- ergy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings. Further to what can be drawn from 90.1’s con- tinuous insulation and the effective R-value of a between the stud approach are the effects of “thermal bridges” lo- cated elsewhere in the exterior wall. While suspected for years by the building science com- munity and academia as necessarily impacting effective R- value v , the actual impact hadn’t found its way into the public domain. That changed with the publication of B.C. Hydro’s “Building Envelope Thermal Bridging Guide.” Pre- pared by Morrison Hershfield, the exceptional and exten- sive research shows that some exterior insulation strategies can experience as much as a 50 per cent reduc- tion in their reported clear wall R-value vi . While not immune to thermal bridging (at locations such as windows), EIFS requires minimal accommodation to significantly reduce their impact and preserve the systems’ continuous insulation value. EIFS’ cost effectiveness and the degree to which it effectively preserves energy, can free up monies to enhance and improve other envelope features such as thermally broken parapets and bal- conies vii . Cost savings can also be applied to investments in higher efficiency heating and cooling systems. Finish The array of finish options has grown considerably in recent years, to the point where EIFS can mimic any num- ber of alternative cladding looks. However, some techno- logical improvements may not be as readily apparent, at least not until the building has been in service for a number of years. EIFS manufacturers have made im- provements in finish performance relating to colour-fastness and dirt pick-up resistance. While not exclusive to the EIFS industry, the use of non-organic colour-fast pigments as found in automotive paints and other high per- formance coatings have been adopted into a number of available finish options. Described by one proponent as Plus Finishes, Nano- chemistry and other technologies have been harnessed by a number of EIFS finish produc- ers to provide extended colour fastness and a cleaner exterior. Beyond the cosmetic, some finishes possess IR (insulation resistance) re- flective technology with the ability of cooling exterior wall temperatures and reducing cool- ing costs. The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Winter 2015 – 53 System If all that is described above is to ultimately be realized, the system nature of EIFS cannot be ignored. This should not be applied solely to the proprietary nature of a manu- facturer’s system offering. EIFS use also benefits from a systematic approach, and so can the building as a whole. When considering EIFS, it is both important and practical to think of the Exterior Insulation and Finish System, the bal- ance of the exterior structure and the building’s use as hav- ing a relationship. Like any relationship, it’s best to think ahead and consider how the behaviour of one member of the group may affect another. In other words, take a holis- tic approach. While the benefits of this model extend to any functional element of a building’s make-up, the inher- ent and adaptable functions of EIFS can and have some- times been overlooked. To aid in this approach, the EIFS Council of Canada has developed and published the EIFS Practice Manual. It pro- vides easy to adopt design and use considerations that can be applied to all building and project types, be it new or retrofit construction. The systematic approach can also be applied to the in- stallation itself. The EIFS Quality Assurance Program was developed by the EIFS Council of Canada (ECC) and enrols all key EIFS delivery stakeholders into a system of Quality Assurance. The program is not a come one, come all en- rolment, but requires demonstration of knowledge, expe- rience and quality system adoption by EIFS mechanics, EIFS manufacturers and their representatives. Supported 54 – Winter 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report by certified, independent auditors and third-party insurers, the program is comprehensive and fits in very well with the holistic approach to project delivery. Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems in 2015 EIFS today is not the same as the EIFS of the 90’s. The industry has moved well beyond the provision of an eco- nomical cladding, and is positioning itself to be the ideal twenty-first century choice, by delivering a durable and en- vironmentally responsible enclosure strategy.

Enhancing the Success of Women in the Canadian Construction Industry CAWIC is a not-for-profit Canadian association whose membership includes women and employers across all sectors of the Canadian construction industry. www.cawic.ca 60 – Winter 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report It is why the training centres representing Carpenters Local 27 and Local 675 in Woodbridge have introduced a three-day course to the rank and file: Construction ICRA: Best Practices in Healthcare Construction. “The idea is to educate our members to a standard for construction in hospitals and health care facilities,” says Anthony Simone, one of three instructors teaching a class of 16 at the Interior Finishing Systems Training Centre (IFSTC) in suburban Toronto. “If contractors are not dealing with infection control, they could be putting patients at health risk.” Furthermore, they could see their contracts suspended or even terminated, he adds. Contractors that meet recommended infection control practices, however, “definitely get noticed,” which could benefit them when bidding on future hospital contracts, says Hajira Hafeez, infection control practitioner, Toronto East General Hospital (TEGH). Calling infection control “a fact of life” in most hospitals today, she says the three-day course is a timely primer for contractors and their employees. Hafeez was invited to speak to students in the first class about her experience at TEGH and her expectations of contractors. The first of its kind in Ontario, the course will be held periodically to rank and file members at the IFSTC in Wood- bridge. It covers such issues as asbestos, lead, mold, sil- ica, blood-borne pathogens and other hospital-specific concerns. Identification and classification of work areas that minimize risks, illness and injury are part of the cur- riculum. Mike Yorke, president of Carpenters Local 27, was in- strumental in bringing the course to Toronto. It was devel- oped by the International Brotherhood of Carpenters at its training centre in Las Vegas. “HAI’s (healthcare-associated infections) had reached an alarming rate in the U.S. and insurance costs were im- pacting all healthcare providers,” he says. “Given the cir- cumstances in Ontario . . . . the time was right to implement the ICRA program here. We have a solid work- force (employers and labour) along with training centres that have the staff and capacity to deliver this state-of-the- art program.” At Toronto East General, some renovation contractors are up to speed on infection control procedures, but many are not, says Hafeez. In a poll she conducted four of five contractors were not aware of proper infection control pro- cedures. The most common problem is poorly constructed hoarding with gaps and holes; other problems include un- derperforming enclosures (containment areas) on high- level projects and inadequate ventilation. The ICRA course includes installation methods for dif- ferent types of containment enclosures, including softwall structures comprised of 6 ml poly on frame for short-term contracts and hardwall structures with 6 ml poly and dry- wall on frame and manufactured wall systems for long- term contracts, says Simone. The use of air systems with HEPA filters, negative air and equal air pressure systems are part of the curriculum. Renovation projects are a “collaborative process” be- tween hospital administrations, their infection control staff and contractors,” explains Hafeez. When contractors are knowledgeable, it minimizes the time hospital infection control practitioners require to go through protocols. Infection control costs can be sizable in renovations of wings with high-infection risk patients, so it makes sense for contractors to know what infection control protocols are to build the costs into their budgets. Hafeez says plans are in the works to tear down Toronto East General wing by wing and build a new hospital over the coming years. “It’s very vital that infection control is in- volved because the smallest amount of dust can create various infections.” The infection control practitioner has worked in the field for about five years. Prior to Toronto East General, she worked at St. Michael’s Hospital and McKenzie Health. Over that period, she has seen a number of construction workers on site lacking proper personal protection equip- ment and workers tracking dust from the worksite to other areas of the hospital. The Canadian Standards Association provides a frame- work of infection control standards, consisting of various categories and it is up to the individual health care operator to determine what category to implement, says Simone, adding some hospitals set more rigorous infection control standards than others. It can be difficult to bid on contracts when each hospital or health care institute has different protocols for infection control, he says, adding a common standard would make it easier for contractors to accurately estimate infection control costs. He says the CSA recommends that contractors working in health care should be prequalified, including an assess- ment of the company’s policies, practices and training. “That’s where the ICRA program comes in.” The CSA’s recommendations may only be guidelines but Yorke points out that a number of U.S. hospitals only ac- cept tenders from employers with ICRA-certified workers. Could hospitals in Ontario head in the same direction? Architect Cornel Ionescu says contractors that prepare to meet the challenge of infection and prevention control will have a “significant competitive edge for healthcare work.” Ionescu, who was one of the speakers in the first ICRA class held at the IFSTC in Woodbridge, says hospital ad- ministrations face an “increasing level of public scrutiny re- garding healthcare services, performance and hospital construction, maintenance and operation costs. In all these areas, meeting infection prevention and control require- ments and preventing hospital acquired infections has a determinant role in measuring outcomes.” Ionescu is an architect and associate vice-president of HDR Architecture Inc., a leading healthcare design firm in the U.S. and Canada. Simone is one of three Toronto instructors of the ICRA course at the IFSTC. They were taught at the Carpenters International training centre in Las Vegas. “The Carpenters union down there has pretty much picked up the ball on training and it is being implemented in health care through- out the U.S.” As an employee of Kent-Leckie Flooring Ltd., Lawrence DiFranco was one of the students in the first three-day course held in Woodbridge. He sees the practical value – especially for any installers who haven’t worked in busy hospitals or long-term care centres. No stranger to working in busy hospitals and long-term care facilities with Kent-Leckie, DiFranco says health care providers “are very serious about infection control now so what you are taught in the course is very practical, helpful. Health care renovations are a totally different work envi- ronment than new construction sites.” BENCH STRENGTH * For over 40 years, we have specialized in representing trade unions and their members, as well as trustees of health, welfare and pension plans, in all areas of the law that impact them.

LIUNA Local 183’s membership has grown by 15,000 since 2011. The local is currently in the process of a merger with LIUNA Local 247 out of Kingston which will grow its jurisdiction as far as Brockville. While this merger will in- crease its numbers, this is not the pri- mary source of the union’s growth. LIUNA works hard to identify and at- tract groups that are not yet organized, offering them the security and stability unionizing can offer. LIUNA Local 183 focuses on ensur- ing a level playing field and working with contractors. The union has col- lected more than $13.5 million of members' benefits in grievance settle- ments by enforcing collective agree- ments, while providing a competitive environment for contractors and work- ers who play by the rules. Business manager Jack Oliveira says Local 183 looks for “contractors who do not comply with collective agreements. It is through this enforce- ment that we are able to prevent an imbalance in the field.” By creating a level playing field based on the terms and conditions of employment in the collective agree- ments that are in place, LIUNA Local 183 ensures both the law and the col- lective agreements are adhered to for the benefit of workers and contractors. To support its growing member- ship, a recent renovation at LIUNA Local 183’s Toronto head office ex- panded the parking area to add addi- tional spaces, as well as safety components including directional sig- nage to help with the busy location. Local 183 acquired land in Vaughan and will be looking at expanding to a larger facility there. The local has also acquired a 40,000 sq. ft. office in Bar- rie which will include a number of member services including a training centre. With the recent municipal election, LIUNA and Local 183 worked hard lob- bying on behalf of politicians who share the union’s goals and ideas. Many of the supported politicians were elected which will help the local continue to move issues forward. Supporting its members, Local 183 also boasts an in-house WSIB claims administration service, which looks after workers from start to finish. The union's legal department, with five dedicated lawyers and support staff, can handle challenging issues at the level of some of Ontario's best labour law practices. LIUNA Local 183 also supports the community at large, fundraising and donating to local charities including Sick Kids Foundation and St. John’s Rehab Foundation, among others. Since 2011 more than $1,000,000 has been donated through these initia- tives. During the past year the union has also distributed $430,000 in schol- arships.

With 7,000 sq. ft. of additional space in the new building, Sohlman says the Carpenters should be able to address training needs to prevent potential skilled labor shortages. Local 1669 commissioned the de- sign to FORM Architecture Engineering. The firm is nearing completion of the design and construction is slated to start next year. It will replace the current headquarters at the Lakehead Labour Centre. “We looked at this project as an op- portunity to develop a great functional space for them, not just the standard square box design but a space that is inviting, welcoming.” says Matthew Mills, project manager, FORM Architec- ture Engineering, the prime consultant responsible for architecture, structural engineering and interior design. Sohlman says the current home is small by comparison to the new one in the works. “The Carpenters have a great opportunity to train in a fully mod- ern space using the latest of new prod- ucts, materials and equipment that trades people use now and in the fu- ture.” The double height (26-f high) training area will house scaffolding and various types of lift equipment for apprentice- ship and upgrade training. Also, there will be two 25-seat classrooms with a removable wall, allowing for a large class or special gatherings. Mills says that training space will showcase exposed structural glulam beams and columns highlighted with base details reminiscent of pile caps. Primarily a wood structure, it will be a stick frame building with a heavy tim- ber frame component, says Mills. The interior will feature tongue-and-groove wood ceilings, some paneled wood wall sections and large timber accents in the lobby. “We like to use wood – it is a pas- sion in our office – because it is a signif- icant building product from our area.” The exterior will feature a natural stone façade around the central core (lobby), complemented by wood siding, glass and EIFS. Corrugated metal siding panels will clad the rear of the building. Mills points out that the design even calls for an area to the rear of the build- ing landscaped with indigenous tree species (spruce, pine, fir and some hardwoods) typically harvested for their lumber for construction in the region. It will be called the Northern Forest Species Lumber Tree Plantation. “We wanted to emphasize a North- ern Ontario design theme for the build- ing.” While the building won’t be LEED certified, Mills says it will incorporate many sustainable elements, including a high-performance building envelope with energy-saving windows and doors and above-code insulation values in walls and ceilings. The design is being done on an inte- grated 3D software modelling program (Building Information Modelling), which also incorporates structural engineering and mechanical/electrical design. At FORM, Mills first started using BIM a dozen years ago and now the company employs BIM on all of its proj- ects. That is unusual among design firms in Ontario. “It really cuts down on changes to the project and helps the client visualize and understand what is being created.” Sohlman agrees. “BIM has made it much easier to get a feel for the project from a visual perspective and it has al- lowed members to offer instant input on the design.” Construction tendering is expected early next year with the building to be completed about 12 months after con- struction starts. FORM Architecture was selected over two other firms for the project. “The Carpenters have been a very good client to work with. They have been open to design options and have given us great inspiration.” The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Winter 2015 – 65 Dodge upcoming project reports In co-operation with McGraw-Hill Construction Dodge, the Canadian Design and Construction Report provides information on upcoming projects in the region.
