Editor's viewpoint July-August 2015 I first learned of Passive House sustainability concepts when Sonia Zouari, an architect with CSV Architects in Ottawa, sug- gested the Construction Specifications Canada (CSC) Ottawa Chapter invite Gunter Lang from Austria last fall to give a presen- tation as part of a Passive House program. My initial reaction: What is this, and would it be wise to risk several thousand dollars of a non-profit association's funds on the project? (I was then the CSC Ottawa chapter chair.) Without much time to respond, I suggested, if we could arrange a modest “kill fee” to reduce our losses if we couldn't sell enough tickets, we could take the risk, and gave the go- ahead. The failure risk turned out to be unfounded. The CSC chapter sold out the event – and a related Connections Cafe earlier this year. The Passive House concept, indeed, has started capturing the industry's attention as the North American building market catches up with European initiatives – and in this issue, we report on some interesting progress in B.C. Meanwhile, the CSC relationships brought me to Winnipeg in May for the association's national conference, where I learned about the city's port-building initiative. Another double-take – how can there be a port in Winnipeg? – but indeed the project is quite real, and truly substantial. There are other worthy stories and features in this issue, in- cluding British consultant Ian Denny's look at how to truly apply word-of-mouth marketing concepts, along with reports on pre- cast/prestressed concrete, modular and offsite construction, the Canadian (and Alberta) painting industry associations, and On- tario General Contractors Association (OGCA)'s Ontario Builder Awards, among others.

CEO Diane Gray Canadian Design and Construction Report staff writer You might, at first thought, do a double take when someone tells you that Winnipeg is building a massive port. After all, while the central Canadian city has four rivers, the Red, Assiniboine, La Salle and Seine, most observers would not credit these waterways as major trade or ship- ping channels. However, Diane Gray, president and chief executive of- ficer of Centreport Canada Inc., says Winnipeg has excel- lent rail links – it is the only major city in Canada with three major interconnecting lines – as well as a solid airport with- out excessive congestion or access restrictions. The rail lines link Winnipeg to east, west, and US gulf ports, as well as Churchill, Manitoba. Could all of these elements be connected with new road/highway connections, bonded warehouses, and serv- ices infrastructure to create a land port? Centreport has taken shape as a result and early indica- tions are the project is succeeding. The new (and currently Canada's only) Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) and tri-modal inland port “gives a bottom line advantage to rail-intensive businesses – as much as $10 per tonne” in shipping costs. “You are saving tens of thou- sands of dollar for every train shipping,” she told a gather- ing at the Construction Specifications Canada (CSC) conference in Winnipeg. 4 – July-August 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report The inland port, sitting on 20,000 dedicated acres, par- tially within Winnipeg's urban boundaries and partially out- side, has special zoning and land-use restrictions to ensure its transportation and business efficiency. '”Developers have a good sense of when the infrastruc- ture is going in,” she said. “We have a form-based zoning bylaw. They (developers) know what are allowed uses. We are eliminating conditional uses or variances.” “You need to develop according to the rules . . . if you follow the rules, you are in.” Since the project started in 2008 – 09 with special Man- itoba legislation, it has attracted 39 new companies and more than 200 acres of new development, Gray said. Plan- ners anticipate an additional 71 companies will set up shop in the FTZ over the next five yeas, and about 500 acres of industrial absorbtion within the next decade. Design is under way on a rail park, integrating rail lines and manufacturing/warehouse facilities to reduce shipping costs and facilitate assembly based on materials arriving from different locations. As well, infrastructure has been constructed or will be soon to ensure the overall project can absorb the in- creased business activity. “Under construction is a $45 million water treatment facility,” Gray said. The $212.4 mil- lion CentrePort Canada Way, “the single largest construc- tion project in Manitoba's history,” has connected the FTZ to the highway system. Different developers can acquire and build within the zoned areas, en- couraging competition and market- based decision-making, and this will be especially important once the rail park has been completed. “Ten different developers own or have options on quarter sections of land,” she said. “The choice is good for shippers and business.” If you are considering Centreport, you won't be directed to a specific site “and you can also negotiate your price – there are flexible rate options.” She said although the original con- cept was for the project to be purely for transportation and business, Cen- treport realized that there are advan- tages to including a residential component so workers won't need to travel great distances, and this area – adjacent to existing Winnipeg residen- tial communities – would also accom- modate relevant local retail services and a “multi-use secondary education training facility.” Another area, adjacent to Win- nipeg's airport, will facilitate air cargo shipments. CentrePort has been designed with sustainability in mind, she said, but without excessive regulation. “You could put up a LEED building at any level, if not, there are other options to achieve the sustainability threshold.” Overall, the project offers intriguing opportunities for developers, along with contractors and others servicing the building/infrastructure industry. “CentrePort Canada offers busi- nesses a selection of high-quality in- dustrial land and space for sale or lease,” the FTZ's website says. “Cur- rently there are more than 2,400 acres of land ready for new development and more than 530,000 sq. ft. of indus- trial space available in existing ware- house facilities.” For more information, see www.centreport.canada. The Canadian Design and Construction Report — July-August 2015 – 5 Marketing and business development insights Word of Mouth in construction Ignore it at your peril By Ian Denny Special to the Canadian Design and Construction Report That may seem like a dramatic introduction, intended to urge you into some sort of action. And quite frankly it is, because most of us are guilty of ignoring word of mouth. You see I did too. I had always known word of mouth was important to my business. In fact, one day I went through a year’s invoicing, casually noting the origin of each piece of work. It surprised me how much had come from word of mouth. But like you probably do, at the time I shrugged my shoulders and simply wished for more of it, not believing you could do anything about it. 6 – July-August 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report After all, word of mouth just happens. Or not. Surely you can do nothing about it anyway? Then one day, I owed a friend a favour. Her company had done a great job for me, and as she was also a friend, I thought I should tell my clients and recommend her serv- ices. So I wrote an email outlining exactly what she did and how it had really impressed me. I casually mentioned that I was meeting her for a coffee in a few days, and if they’d like to meet her to discuss, I could pass on their number and ask her to call. I sent that to 65 clients. I thought maybe one or two would respond. But 28 responded asking me to pass on her number. Interestingly, she fed back that she had tried to meet several of the same people. I was puzzled. Why? So I looked at her brochure. It said pretty much the same things I had said in my email. Removing the bias had strengthened the message. Peo- ple say wonderful things about themselves: In their brochures; their tenders; their case studies; on their web- sites etc. But when a real client says pretty much the same thing, the message becomes compelling rather than viewed with healthy skepticism and suspicion. The facts about word of mouth you can’t ignore Nielsen, in their 2013 ‘Global Trust In Advertising’ sur- vey, polled 29,000 people from 58 countries. Out on its own, with 84 per cent, was word of mouth as the number one trusted influence on their purchasing. Interestingly, in second place with 70 per cent, was on- line product reviews which is another form of word of mouth. All the usual suspects like magazine advertising, social media, TV etc were much further down the list. So if word of mouth is by far the biggest influence, why do we shrug our shoulders, invest fortunes on inferior and less trusted forms of advertising and marketing, and leave it all to blind faith? In fact if you fire up your accounts application, look at the “marketing” cost centre reports, how much did you spend on word of mouth compared to everything else in that category last year? I would bet your spending is rather skewed against the most trusted form of advertising. Word of mouth is gaining credence fast as a separate discipline in its own right. And yes, you can engage an ex- pert to accelerate it, but the good news is that there are a number of things you can do yourself. Your social proof – Case studies If you read my earlier example, you will spot that pretty much the same thing, spoken from a different perspective changes the results – dramatically. That’s what I noticed in UK construction. Case studies, which are the equivalent of bottled word of mouth if done right, are nearly always produced from completely the wrong perspective. To make the point, I Googled contractors in my home town. For the number one result, I clicked on their case studies. Names changed to protect the innocent (or rather guilty!), but here’s what I found: Acme were appointed main contractor within this large scale manufacturing facility… And: Acme Construction was appointed to project manage the removal of 1960's vehicle loading tables and replace with… Because pretty much everyone does the same thing – write from their own perspective, the peril in the title of this article applies to your competitors who are NOT read- ing this. The peril may apply to you too if you don’t act and change the perspective. That’s because you can very easily stand out from the rest by simply interviewing your client and asking them about what you did and how well you did it. It becomes instantly engaging. Let’s try those openings again, this time quoting the client we interviewed, so note the quotation marks and how different it sounds: “I was delighted we appointed Acme as our main contractor for this large scale manufacturing facil- ity…” And: “Acme Construction did a fantastic job of project managing the removal of 1960’s vehicle loading tables and replacing them with…” Turn it into a story – The battle between logic and emotion For some reason, many in business think we leave the home as a human, and when we arrive at our place of work we suddenly become a Vulcan. Especially when it comes to a ‘big decision’ involving, for example, our choice of sub-contractors for a large con- struction project. This is where it’s useful to consider Star Trek and in par- ticular the main character Spock. Why did we relate to Spock over the last 50 or so years? Even those who didn’t follow Star Trek knew the story – he was wrestling in a constant battle between logic and emo- tion. But was it really a Vulcan problem? Or did we all relate to it because as humans we go through the same? The point here is that we like to think logic is at the centre of every business decision. But when people are wired up to monitor their brain ac- tivity before being presented with an advertising message, the synapses in the part of the brain dealing with emotion fire off first. Logic kicks in too, but afterwards. So let’s combine both together. Produce our case stud- ies through the eyes and words of our clients. And make it a story with a touch of emotion as well as business logic. US psychologist tells us which emotions to focus on Abraham Maslow was a U.S. psychologist studying human motivations. So if you want to fire those positive emotional synapses in your case studies, let’s look at the areas his 1943 paper on the topic reveals as central. We are programmed first to survive; then seek shelter; belong to a group of people; be respected by others; and have our self-esteem validated. The Canadian Design and Construction Report — July-August 2015 – 7 For example, by choosing you, did your client receive praise from their colleagues and management? That trig- gers the respect and self-esteem emotion. And when your potential client reads a case study fea- turing somebody like them receiving respect and added self-esteem, guess what? Yes, they want it too. They want to belong to a group of successful people, and you are part of their solution to achieve it. “I got a huge pat on the back for a job well done from our financial director…” You can do this yourself by preparing a list of questions for your client which may prompt a quote like the above example. Or, it can sometimes be easier to use an expert word of mouth copywriter (me) to conduct the interview for you. How to use your case studies to secure more business Case studies are just one part of a holistic word of mouth marketing plan. But they are central to it. If your clients were available 24/7 to ac- company you to every meeting and tell peo- ple how wonderful you are, there wouldn’t be a problem. But you don’t want to constantly pester your clients to be a reference point testifying about you. That’s why case studies should become central to your bids. In your bids, proposals and tenders, you will stand out and certainly win more proj- ects than you did before. How do I know? Well you don’t even need to trust me. Type “commercial contractor Toronto” or your own city into Google. Visit the first 10 sites of your competitors. Look at their case studies. How many take the internal, logical perspective? And how many take the client per- spective with all of those emotional triggers built-in? How many just use images and don't even give the client per- spective? Be careful There is an understandably huge temptation to boast about the wonderful job you did and all the technical de- tails of the construction project. And then add a token quote from your client. Avoid it. Elsewhere in your proposals, bids and tenders you can outline the detail of your expertise. By all means use project photos. But in your case studies, make it 80 per cent from the clients' perspective using the words they gave you in the interview. Ten per cent should be profiling the client. And maybe 10 per cent about the project you were engaged to execute. Ian Denny specializes in word of mouth marketing, working with clients globally.

Ian Denny www.threadsoflife.ca 8 – July-August 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report CSC Conference in Winnipeg Specifiers from across Canada gather for education and networking Canadian Design and Construction Report Staff writer Several hundred specifications writers, technical repre- sentatives, architects and engineers gathered in Winnipeg for the annual Construction Specifications Canada (CSC) conference from May 27 to 31. The annual event – held in a different Canadian city each year – provides a meeting-point for industry leaders relating to construction documentation and specifications. Specifiers, although sometimes relegated to second- class status within architectural and engineering practices, have significant responsibility and influence – and this is re- flected by building product manufacturers, who exhibit and sponsor the event. CSC's objectives are: • To foster the interests of those engaged in or who are affected by the compilation or use of any forms of specifications or related documentation for the construction industry; • To publish literature pertaining to the construction industry; • To engage in activities to improve procedures and techniques related to the construction industry. CSC provides a certification program and recognizes long-term contributions to the specifications community with rewards and other honors. The convention included networking sessions, a trade show (with a special enhanced Connections Cafe evening), and plenty of social time, as the Winnipeg chapter cele- brated its fiftieth anniversary. There are chapters in most major Canadian cities.

Geoff Harder, North Vancouver RCMP spokesman told the North Shore News. “All five were arrested and re- leased on promise to appear for a court date in August – for mischief.” Harder said three of the five people arrested were employed as contrac- tors on the worksite, where Onni is converting a former Safeway into a mixed-use development, with condos and a Whole Foods store. The project had been controversial, originally turned down by North Van- couver council. However, the develop- ers redesigned it, resulting in rezoning approval for two towers with 344 con- dos, 40,000 sq. ft. of office space, a childcare facility, and a small number of social housing units, as well as the grocery store. WorkSafeBC has also started its own investigation into the crane-climb- ing incident, and Onni is co-operating, Harder said. CONSTRUCTION ACROSS CANADA BC Hydro negotiates labour stability on $8.8 billion Site C dam project BC Hydro has agreed to give union labour an edge when it chooses the contractors to build the $8.8-billion Site C dam, the Globe and Mail has re- ported. This is a partial retreat from the provincial crown corporation's original “open shop” approach. The umbrella group representing unionized B.C. buildings trades had earlier threatened to redirect skilled workers to other construction projects, if Hydro failed to agree to a project- wide labour agreement. BC Hydro has already awarded one contract to a non-union firm for clear- ing a portion of the dam site. The new deal will give a higher priority to con- tractors who intend to recruit some of their workers from the building trade unions. rate (SAAR) of construction in Calgary, based on activity in May, was 12,504 new homes, up from 8,929 in April, while the six-month trend was 11,991 units, down from April, says CMHC market analyst Richard Cho. Edmonton Arena spurring billion dollar development Edmonton's Arena District has be- come the fastest growing centre of its type in North America – a develop- ment project worth more than $1.67 billion, according to an Edmonton Journal report. ALBERTA Housing starts rise despite oil price crash Despite the oil price crash, Alberta led all provinces with the largest an- nual increase in investment in new housing construction in March, ac- cording to Statistics Canada. The federal agency recently re- ported that total investment in the province increased 15 per cent from a year ago to $937 million. “Alberta’s real estate market is cer- tainly not collapsing the way some ex- aggerated reports would have you believe,” Todd Hirsch, chief economist at ATB Financial, told the Calgary Sun. “In May, home builders began work on 34,102 new residential units. That’s up slightly from April, but still down from the average of just over 41,000 per month over the last year. The figures are seasonally adjusted at an annual- ized rate. In other words, it is the total number of new homes that would be built in a year if the current pace of construction were maintained for 12 months.” The seasonally adjusted annualized 10 – July-August 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report “The Katz Group spent $100 million buying land and designing the arena district,” the newspaper quoted execu- tive vice-president Bob Black as saying. “With its partners, WAM, the Katz Group is building a $300-plus million 27-storey office tower and a $500 mil- lion 60-plus storey office and condo tower,” the report said. “The partner- ship is also building a $75 million Katz Group headquarters and casino next to the arena, a $150 million four-level below grade parkade and at-grade plaza, a $350 million hotel and condo tower and this new $200 million 50- odd storey condo tower.” SASKATCHEWAN Bird Construction consortium wins contract to build 18 schools Bird Construction Inc. has an- nounced that it is part of a consortium selected as the preferred proponent to design, build, finance and maintain 18 pre-kindergarten to Grade 8 schools on nine joint-use sites in Saskatchewan. Bird has the majority interest in and is the managing partner of the con- struction joint venture designing and building the schools. It will also take a minority equity interest in the conces- sion responsible for the project's fi- nancing and maintenance through Bird Capital, a wholly owned subsidiary. The schools are in Regina, Saska- toon, Martensville and Warman. The project includes the construction on each site of one public and Catholic school as well as centrally shared space, including a multi-purpose room, community resource centre and a child care centre, to form a single co- hesive joint-use educational facility. The consortium plans to reach fi- nancial close in Aug. 2015 and will enter into an early works agreement with the province in advance of con- tract finalization. “As a company that was founded in 1920 in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, more than 95 years ago, we are excited about the announcement of our selec- tion for this significant project in the province that provided the foundation for our success,” said Ian Boyd, Bird's president and CEO. “Together with our partners in the consortium, particularly our construction partner, Wright Con- struction, a long standing builder in the province, we look forward to the op- portunity to work closely with local in- dustry, the Province of Saskatchewan and the various stakeholders to deliver these community focused schools.” Roughriders' Mosaic stadium nearly half complete Regina's new football stadium was about 44 per cent complete on the project's first year groundbreaking an- niversary. “This is a tremendous source of pride for our community and we are very pleased with the progress the PCL construction team has made over the last year,” said Regina's mayor Michael Fougere. “There is a lot of ac- tivity in each area of the site and it has been incredible to witness how the stadium has taken shape.” good building for the budget we have in front of us.” Dakota CC plans a $17.9-million, 50,000-sq. ft. addition with the equiv- alent of six volleyball or three basket- ball courts and additional features including a mezzanine-level running track, locker and change rooms, and showers. “We are right where we wanted to be a year out from the ground break- ing,” said Sean Hamelin, representing the contractor PCL. “We continue to receive great feedback from all our sidewalk superintendents and appreci- ate their enthusiasm for the project.” The city said in the news release that construction on the stadium's west side will continue through the summer and will soon mirror what has already been done on the east side. Meanwhile, work has begun on the ad- ministration area for the stadium, on the site's north end. As well, later in 2015, the structural steel work for the spectator roof will start to be installed on the southeast corner. St. Vital coun. Brian Mayes said council approved the cost increase in mid-2014. Now, the newspaper quotes him as saying city hall is now being asked to approve the business plan and loan guarantee, along with a con- struction loan guarantee to Dakota for the project. “The grant and loan guarantee was contingent on a satisfactory business plan from the community centre and now we have that,” Mayes was quoted as saying.

These fears have been allayed be- cause major Canadian contractors in- cluding Aecon, ACS Infrastructure Canada, EllisDon, and SNC-Lavalin joined forces as equal 25 per cent part- ners to form Crosslinx Transit Solu- tions (CTS), beating out another consortium, Crosstown Transit Part- ners, built on a largely foreign consor- tium including Fengate Capital Management Ltd., OHL Concesiones S.A., STRABAG Inc., Bechtel Develop- ment Company, Inc. and Obayashi Canada Holdings, Ltd. The new consortium has already set up a website at http://www.crosslinx- transitsolutions.ca and has invited sup- pliers and sub-contractors to express interest in participating in the project. Infrastructure Ontario (IO) has been giving weight to “local knowledge” in evaluating competitive bids, and this presumably helped the Canadian-led consortium in the two-way race for the massive project. CTS will be responsible for the de- sign, build, finance, operation, and maintenance and lifecycle activities of the 19 km. line for a 30-year term. It in- cludes 25 stations, an integrated sys- tem of track work, rolling stock, as well as signaling and communications in- frastructure.

Separately, in November 2013, and as part of a 50/50 joint venture with CONSTRUCTION ACROSS CANADA ACS Dragados Canada, Aecon was awarded a $177 million tunneling con- tract by Metrolinx for the construction of a section of the Eglington Crosstown LRT. Ottawa: City challenges Ontario Municipal Board ruling reducing municipal control of building heights The City of Ottawa has decided to challenge in court an Ontario Munici- pal Board (OMB) decision to overturn the city’s control of building heights through the Official Plan and local neighbourhood plans. The story started when city plan- ners objected to a proposal by owners of 267 O’Connor St. to build two 27- storey dual condo towers with a bridge connecting them, replacing a six-storey medical building. The plan by Mastercraft Starwood “will draw attention to itself not as a striking piece of architecture that might be considered a piece or art, but rather as an anomaly within the central character area,” planner Douglas James wrote in a scathing 2014 re- view. The owners objected, and the OMB merk@merx.com 12 – July-August 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report www.merx.com agreed, that the city could not use the Official Plan and related Community Development Plans to specify heights. The argument is these should be regulated by zoning bylaws, instead. “Official plans should be flexible documents setting out general policy and are not intended to be prescriptive in their application,” OMB member Richard Makuch wrote in his decision on April 29. “This is not good planning,” he wrote. “(It) will not result in better urban form but rather it will place undue hardship on applicants by forc- ing them to amend their plans or ob- tain relief by applying for an official plan amendment in order to meet a somewhat arbitrary standard that can- not respond to individual circum- stances and context.” This OMB decision reflects the de- velopment industry’s views, says John Herbert, executive director of the Greater Ottawa Home Builders' Asso- ciation (GOHBA). “While the city can set height restrictions in zoning by- laws, it should not use the broad strokes of the Official Plan to set these restrictions.” Not surprisingly, in deciding to spend money on lawyers and seek leave to appeal the OMB decision to the divisional court, the city disagrees. Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority issues first request for construction tenders The Windsor-Detroit Bridge Author- ity (WDBA) announced in early June www.merx.com/events that it has issued a request for tender for the construction of a perimeter ac- cess road, the relocation of utilities and the placement of fill on the site of the Canadian inspection plaza site for the new Gordie Howe International Bridge. The work will prepare the Canadian inspection plaza site for construction by a private-sector partner to be cho- sen later. “Over the past 10 months, the WDBA board of directors has put in place a team of executives, profes- sionals and advisors with the domain expertise required to enable us to launch today’s first construction ten- der,” says bridge authority chair Mark McQueen. “The Canadian inspection plaza is the key first component of the larger procurement process.” “Our team is doing all it can to en- sure the new publicly-owned bridge between Windsor, Ontario and Detroit, Michigan is open as soon as possible,” he said. “The completion of these early works activities will help ensure that the project remains on track.” “The WDBA team has been work- ing closely with the City of Windsor, utility companies and regulatory au- thorities to bring this tender package to the market,” says bridge authority CEO Michael Cautillo. “We are pleased to take this significant step toward ful- filling our mandate of delivering the Gordie Howe International Bridge.” Officials say the WDBA is commit- ted to a fair, open and transparent process for the selection of contrac- tors. The request for tenders is posted on MERX and can be viewed at www.merx.com. QUEBEC Retirement home boom anticipated Canada will soon experience a boom in constructing seniors' retire- ment homes, says Luc Maurice, a Que- bec developer spending $1 billion on new projects.

Officials say each bridge in the province is unique and can require dif- ferent repairs. “It can be cracking. It can be rusting of steel members, it can be deteriora- tion of timber, sometimes potholes on bridge decks. It's all related to the bridge,” Crocker told Global News. “We’re busy getting structural de- signs done. We’re already getting de- signs done for next year and the year after just so that we’re ahead of the game hopefully, so we can get projects tendered and awarded early in the sea- son to allow construction to complete during the best weather,” he said.

The sub- division of the 24-acre land parcel to create a 1.8 acre lot is the first phase in what is expected to be a four-phase construction project. “We will begin marketing and pro- vide more information going forward, 14 – July-August 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report with signage going up on the property in the next few weeks,” said Gallant, who didn't provide the project's cost or indicate when construction would commence. NEWFOUNDLAND Corner Brook lays out the red carpet for new home builders Corner Brook has announced that it will waive both development fees and the first year's property taxes for new homes in the city. The incentives are expected to result in several thousand dollars in savings for each home. For contracting companies like Dis- covery Ridge, the incentives bode well for business, CBC news reports. “I think that makes a big difference, and that up front cost is the stuff that's out of your own pocket, that's not (in- cluded) in your mortgage,” CBC quoted project manager Trina Burden as say- ing. “Average permits last year were about $850, some were more, some were less. It's based on the square footage of the home. The average tax is somewhere in the vicinity of $2,000,” Mayor Charles Pender said. With additional savings on the re- moval of landscaping fees, the average savings for a new home compared to last year will be about $5,000, he said. Pomerleau awarded $21 million contract to build Harbour Grace arena The Newfoundland and Labrador government has recently announced it is investing $15 million in a new Har- bour Grace arena project, with the town to pay for the remainder of the costs.

ASSOCIATION NEWS Green Business Certification Inc. and Canada Green Building Council join together to advance the WELL Building Standard Green Business Certification Inc. (GBCI) and the Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC) have announced a new agreement to promote and ad- vance the WELL Building Standard (WELL) in Canada. The WELL Building Standard is a performance-based system for meas- uring, certifying and monitoring fea- tures that impact human health and wellbeing, through air, water, nourish- ment, light, fitness, comfort and mind. It complements other green building rating systems such as LEED. “As GBCI and CaGBC come to- gether to advance WELL in Canada, we take an important next step in the development of better, healthy build- ings across the globe,” said GBCI president Mahesh Ramanujam. “Just as LEED has transformed the building sector to address environmental ac- countability, WELL will further that vi- sion by focusing deeply on the people in the buildings and providing devel- opers and owners with a new way to account for health and human occu- pancy challenges.” Grounded in a body of medical re- search that explores the connection between the buildings where we spend more than 90 per cent of our time and the health and wellness of the people in them, WELL measures attributes of the built environment by looking at seven concepts and more than 100 features that address behav- ior, design and operations. “The Canada Green Building Coun- cil is excited to be working with GBCI, our long-standing partner, to bring the WELL standard to Canada,” said CaGBC president and CEO Thomas Mueller. “We have made a commit- ment to improving the environmental performance of buildings and homes, and now we also want to ensure that buildings provide a healthy and pro- ductive environment for occupants. The WELL standard is a timely addi- tion to CaGBC’s programs, as health and wellness in the workplace is in- creasingly recognized as an important element in attracting and retaining employees.” WELL certification allows building owners and employers to know their space is performing as intended to support human health and wellness. WELL can be applied across all build- ing types and is currently optimized for commercial and institutional proj- ects. WELL is administered by the In- ternational WELL Building Institute™ (IWBI) and is third-party certified by GBCI. The new agreement between GBCI and the CaGBC will bolster the adop- tion of WELL in Canada by aligning the business and administrative processes used to implement WELL in the U.S. with the demands of the Canadian market. The CaGBC has a long-standing relationship with both USGBC and GBCI, the certification body for USGBC’s LEED green build- ing program, partnering to deliver LEED in Canada. To date, there are more than 5,300 LEED projects in Canada, amounting to more than 79 million gross square meters of space, making Canada the top producer of LEED projects outside of the U.S. “GBCI and CaGBC joining forces will help grow the healthy building movement by bringing health and wellness into Canada’s indoor environ- ments through the WELL Building Standard,” said IWBI founder Paul Scialla. “With this agreement, we see tremendous opportunity for the well- ness, sustainability, and real estate communities in Canada to come to- gether to support human health through the built environment.” As GBCI aims to introduce WELL in markets spanning the globe, CaGBC will provide additional capacity and support in one of the most important and promising arenas for high-perfor- mance building development.

Crane and Rigging Conference to focus on Canadian standards and competency issues The Crane and Rigging Conference (CRC) Canada has been scheduled for Nov. 9 and 10 in Edmonton. The Canadian Hoisting and Rigging Safety Council (CHRSC), based in Ot- tawa, works with crane industry stake- holders across Canada to facilitate harmonization of regulations between jurisdictions and is co-ordinating the conference. “The council looks forward to pro- viding crane and rigging stakeholders with an update of its efforts to facili- tate harmonization of standards, inter- national reciprocity for mobile crane and tower crane operator credentials, and development of national demon- stration of skills tests,” said CHRSC chair Tim Bennett. Bennett, also a vice-president with NCSG Crane and Heavy Haul Services, said the council “has supported CRC Canada since it launched five years ago as a forum for crane and rigging professionals from a variety of indus- tries to discuss safety, productivity, and personnel issues.” Sessions will focus on people, processes and productivity issues.

The Canadian Design and Construction Report — July-August 2015 – 15 PASSIVE HOUSE Entrepreneur develops first Canadian prefabricated wood panelized system achieving European PH standards Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature BC Passive House Plant has been recognized with the Environmental Performance Award in Wood WORKS! B.C.’s 2015 Wood Design Awards. BC Passive House is Canada’s first prefabricating plant to produce a wood panelized system that meets European Passive House (PH) standards. These standards define the total annual amount of energy that can be used for heating and cooling and for primary energy usage. The award re- lease notes “the project won for demonstrating how wood products can play a significant role in improving the envi- ronmental performance of a structure.” The plant results from a partnership between Matheo Durfeld and his wife Heather, owners of Durfeld Construc- tors, and Eric Karsh and Robert Malczyk, two highly-re- spected engineers in innovative timber construction. Durfeld says the partnership provided both the financial re- sources to create the plant and the ability to be innovative in responding to a changing market. Despite the recognition the award confirms and the at- tention he has been getting in recent years, Durfeld is a humble man who credits fate as much as anything for his current success. “There are two kinds of people; those who plan and chart a deliberate course and then there are people like me who find life happens and one thing leads to another.” 16 – July-August 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report Here Durfeld refers to his introduction to Passive House construction, which came somewhat by chance when a group of Austrians approached the company to construct the Austrian Olympic Passivhaus. The project, a collabora- tion between five private Austrian companies, forming the Austrian Passive House Group, intended to use the first “Green Olympics” to showcase their building products and demonstrate the Passive House standard to the world. Durfeld says the group was attracted by his reputation as a custom log home builder, a natural fit since much of Austria’s passive house construction is wood-based. Though Canadian-born, Durfeld himself is of Austrian her- itage; another fated connection. He says he and his wife travelled to Europe to visit fa- cilities creating PH to understand the process and then acted as general contractor for the project, putting to- gether the prefabricated structure crafted in Austria and delivered here. The Austria Haus became Canada's first registered Passive House. “Though I understood the concept and believed in what was possible, my own ‘aha’ moment came on a cold day, just after the house was closed in when I walked inside and felt the warmth and comfort generated throughout the building by a small, 1,500 watt heater.” That moment of intellectual buy-in and the next several months of touring people through, explaining the concept and process, made him something of an expert. Wanting to make the Passive House real and more com- mon, Durfeld and his wife bought a lot and constructed the first Canadian residential passive house as their own home. After third-party verification proved the PH stan- dards had been met and achieved with mainly Canadian products, sales to other interested home owners began. “There were three take-aways from our early projects: That prefabricated wood created an amazing efficiency; that this kind of construction is suitable for use across Canada; and that the best things are not invented but copied.” Durfeld says building science from both Canada and Europe contributes to the success of PH construction. Durfeld began to grow his business with a small start- up operation in the interior of BC, later constructing the award-winning Passive House Plant as demand grew. “Some people come to us for PH standards, some come just looking for a low energy home and others come sim- ply for the concept of prefab and getting a project con- structed and closed in from the elements faster.” Noting he has always been a custom builder, Durfeld says that has not changed. Despite the pre-fabrication el- ement, each project the Passive House Plant creates is de- signed to meet the individual homeowner’s specifications and interest. While prefabrication presents opportunities on site, Dur- feld says the process is somewhat more rigid because de- cisions have to be made and finalized before work begins. Part of the process then is working with engineers and ar- chitects to ensure all details are finalized, because they cannot be changed or adjusted along the way. The closed, structurally insulated panels also present a change for building officials who must be able to buy into the science and be prepared to approve a project based on engineering reports that the work has been properly done. “Some of our work involves educating and speaking with building inspectors to make sure they understand and acknowledge the process.” Durfeld says as this understanding grows, he sees PH as the wave of the future. “The science behind PH creates not only an energy efficient home but a home that is more soundproof and more comfortable. There is a great supply of fresh air, the living spaces are more equally conditioned; it is what a home should be.” For more information, visit www.bcpassivehouse.ca. The Canadian Design and Construction Report — July-August 2015 – 17 PASSIVE HOUSE SIGA Cover: High-performance tapes and membranes improve envelope efficiency Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature SIGA Cover manufactures high performance tapes and membranes to improve envelope efficiency. The products are used in many homes and commercial buildings, includ- ing those created by the BC Passive House Plant. Patrick McMahon, regional manager for the Swiss, fam- ily-owned company, says SIGA has been in business for more than 45 years and Durfeld Constructors, owners of the BC Passive House Plant, is among the longest users of SIGA products in North America. “There has been a high level of awareness in many Eu- ropean countries for decades, due to higher energy costs and tighter code requirements, that the building envelope is key to performance. Durfeld is ahead of the curve in North America for that understanding.” McMahon says SIGA produces products for both sides of the building envelope and are used to construct many of the custom homes Durfeld creates. “We offer exterior tape and membranes that are, in 18 – July-August 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report many cases, a higher performing alternative to many prod- ucts people know. We also provide a variety of interior products which are well suited to cold climates.” He says the variety of products SIGA carries allows for true customization and a unique solution for every building project based on goals and budget. “We carry products for air sealing, for moisture and vapour control. We have tapes and interior membranes.” McMahon says though some of the company’s prod- ucts have been designed for masonry, wood frame con- struction is a key focus, making products ideal for residential and light commercial projects, and the kind of ground-breaking construction the Passive House Plant is achieving. Sold and available throughout Canada and the U.S., McMahon says SIGA products provide options for “main- stream construction where the focus is on building a better building.” For more information on SIGA and its product line, visit http://www.sigacover.com. Canadian Passive House Institute West guides AEC community to achieve sustainable energy-saving standard A six-level Passive House building containing 95 rental apartment units starting construction September 2015. Cornerstone Architecture, Vancouver BC Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature Incorporated in 2013, the Canadian Passive House In- stitute West (CanPHI West) offers training and events for builders, architects, engineers and trades people, and ad- vocates for building energy efficiency that meets the inter- national Passive House standard. This effort continues this fall as CanPHI West hosts the 2015 North American Passive House Network Conference (NAPHN15), Oct. 1 and 2 in Vancouver. The organizers are expecting more than 400 attendees, including designers, builders, suppliers, government officials and policy ana- lysts. The program includes two days of presentations and panel discussions, and a trade show dedicated to suppliers of Passive House products and services. There will also be a day of pre-conference workshops and post-event project tours in Vancouver and Whistler. CanPHI West president Rob Bernhardt says that more and bigger Passive House projects in North America demonstrate its profile and that interest has grown. “Cor- nell Tech has begun construction of a 26-storey student residence in New York and other high rise projects are being designed. Multi-family low-rise and mid-rise projects are more common and growing in number.” Bernhardt was pleased to see BC Passive House recog- nized recently in the Wood WORKS! awards. “This award showcases the role of Passive House to the future of con- struction. Not only is the plant architecturally beautiful but it is also producing prefabricated Passive House buildings for the market.” He says code development is moving in the right direc- tion not only to achieve the energy efficiency inherent in Passive House buildings but for the collateral benefits of this efficiency. “Passive House creates a simpler building with lower operating costs, improved comfort and superior air quality.” He observes jurisdictions adopting building codes aligned with Passive House. “The European Union has committed to nearly net zero energy building by 2020, which is effectively a Passive House. California has com- mitted to net zero buildings by 2020, B.C. has made a net zero commitment and Vancouver and New York have clearly identified Passive House in their building regula- tions. The debate in several jurisdictions is how to move towards greater energy efficiency, in several small steps, or in one step.” To help building professionals understand how to achieve Passive House energy efficiency, CanPHI West of- fers a variety of courses. These range from a one-day in- troductory course to a new 10-day design and construction program. Bernhardt says these courses are taught in per- Bernhardt Passive House, Victoria, B.C.

The collaborative's three professionals each have their own expertise and focus. For example, principal Lukas Armstrong, who grew up on a 160-acre, solar-powered ranch, concentrates on bringing energy efficiencies to each of his projects, and he is particularly invested in PH design. “I own and live in a triplex that has been certified PH. Since there are only six certified units in Canada, you might say I am responsible for 50 per cent of the PH registrations in Canada.” Armstrong says he has always been interested in sus- tainable design and, after he took a course in Vancouver specifically for PH, he applied it to his own construction project, based on a B.C. government RFP, in conjunction with Fortis. “They were looking for proponents to develop “super-efficient new construction,” achieving Energuide 91,” he said. Lukas convinced them to accept the Passive House rat- ing system as well because it offers a more accurate en- ergy modelling framework than Energuide. He then collaborated with Andre Harrmann, CanPhi director and green building consultant, to develop the certified project. Big believers in both the technology and education, Armstrong and Harrmann are scheduled to present at the North American Passive House Network Conference in Vancouver this October. They will be addressing two inter- related topics: Using predominantly standard Canadian materials and construction systems to achieve Passive House, and the economic benefits of doing so. While he believes the industry will be easy enough to educate, he says the consumer is always the tougher sell. “Passive House is gaining traction but it is difficult to get the public to understand they may have to spend 10 per cent more on construction but that the savings is sig- nificant and immediate,” Armstrong said. “The cost of ownership at the end of the first month will be similar to standard construction because owners are redirecting money they would have given to energy companies to- wards the mortgage, building equity. There is no need to wait for a payback period.” He says aesthetics also come into play. While many ar- chitects may design PH projects as a showcase and to dis- play architectural creativity, he says most owners prefer a home with more standard curb appeal, something that will blend into the landscape rather than stand out. “We’re de- signing a home in Smithers (half way between Prince George and Prince Rupert) with which we hope to demon- strate that Passive House can be more mainstream and fit well within the existing fabric of a community.” Armstrong says having the word “house” in “Passive House” is unfortunate because the implication is then that this is all about residential construction. Armstrong says he is actively looking for key clients interested in building commercial and institutional showcase projects, noting that in Europe PH is evident in supermarkets, schools and offices in addition to multi and single family residences. “Institutional and commercial owners – those who are invested for the long-term and those who deal with the re- alities of maintenance – can take advantage of PH certifi- cation to significantly reduce their energy and maintenance costs.” With three partners and more than 60 years of com- bined experience, Cover Architectural Collaborative Inc. has the skills and capacity to serve the residential, com- mercial and institutional markets, while employing cutting- edge building science and energy efficiency strategies.

Owner Jorg Volmar says the most effective way to keep a building cool is to avoid the sun hitting the glass, something European design- ers have known and embraced for decades. “Interior blinds and window covers are not as effective because they still allow the sun to warm the glass and blind, creating solar heat gain, and that heat radi- ates in.” He says exterior covers and shades will absorb, reflect and re-emit up to 95 per cent of the total solar radiance. Some structures with large expanses of sun-facing glass have reported lower air conditioning costs by up to 50 per cent. “Exterior shading devices are not only environmen- tally friendly but can also pay for themselves in energy cost savings.” Exterior shades and shutters he says, also provide a high degree of privacy and shutters may offer the added benefits of security and storm protection. “Our exterior venetians are an aluminum profile, similar to an interior venetian but bigger. Guide rails stabilize it against wind and weather.” These motorized units can be raised and the angle of the louvres adjusted for full control over natural light com- ing into the building and so they can be fully retracted at times when full sun and heat gain may be desired. “Such flexibility is not only cost effective but also much more de- sired in today’s energy and environmentally conscious so- ciety.” Volmar says the product is suitable for residential, com- mercial and institutional applications and comes in a wide range of colour options. “Product like this has been used in applications all over Europe for more than 50 years. We have supplied it locally to many homes in Vancouver, Whistler, and the Sunshine Coast.” For more information on Sunpro products, visit sun- proenterprises.com.

Principal Khang Nguyen says the company “started out doing small, simple projects, additions, renovations and the like, and through creating effective and functional spaces through sensible design practice, we have gained an im- pressive portfolio of projects, large and small.” He says as the company has grown in its technical focus and experience, its primary interest, and what has moved the company forward, is a practice of functional, sensibly creative, and environmentally conscious projects, including Passive House construction. “We got involved with Passive House first through sem- inars and courses provided by CanPHi as we are convinced that the homes we build are an excellent starting point for a more environmentally conscience future.” He says an opportunity to work with clients to design their Passive House in Whistler, B.C. allowed the team to put into practice theories about high performance en- velopes, air tightness, energy sources, solar gains, and other interesting aspects “that one does not typically look into when designing and building a home.” From this project he says they have been able to imple- ment many theories and techniques of Passive House in a simplified manner to create higher performance homes for other clients. “The biggest difference in our approach to Passive House design and construction is to pursue elegant sim- plicity, Nguyen said. “There are complex Passive Houses out there, so not all designers will agree with me, but I truly feel that conservatism requires that unnecessary, overly complex processes be abandoned.” He says starting with a non-complex form allows for the construction process to be more efficient, which relates to a more air tight building, and also allows the budget to be put into higher efficiency, more durable systems and prod- ucts. “Spending too much time and money on a complex form will deter most homeowners from higher perform- ance materials and systems.” He says ‘mis-priorities’ about materials and space is one of the reasons for the perception that Passive House con- struction is more costly. “To build a compact high perform- ance home could be the same cost, if not less, as building large triple gabled, four-winged monster home.” Nguyen says Architrix’s team members are experts at understanding and communicating with its clients and builders. Ideas flow freely between clients and the design team and information is clearly produced for the builders PHOTO CREDIT KRISTEN MCGAUGHEY PHOTOGRAPHY Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature which is crucial for more technical homes. Architrix is primarily involved with single family projects, but also has a growing number of small boutique multi-fam- ily projects diversifying its portfolio. “We have a project in Vancouver on a 25 ft. lot where we are retaining and refur- bishing an existing character home on the lot, and building a new duplex on the same lot providing a total of three units compared to the original single unit use.” For more information about Architrix Design Studio, visit architrixstudio.com. Architrix is a house design company that is focused on creating exceptional custom designed homes. We work closely with our clients to develop thorough and thoughtful plans for new homes, renovations, laneway homes, coach homes and boutique multi-family developments. 216-289 Alexander Street, Vancouver, BC, V6A4H6 Phone: 604.677.7877 architrixstudio.com The Canadian Design and Construction Report — July-August 2015 – 23 PASSIVE HOUSE Zehnder America offers Passive House Institute certified energy efficient systems and products CaDCR special feature Switzerland-based Zehnder Group has a long history of energy efficiency dating back to its 1930 development of a tubular radiator that offered better heat conductivity and more cost-effectiveness than competitors. Today Zehnder America offers HRVs, ERVs (energy recovery ventilators), air distribution systems and geothermal heat exchange products, many of which are Passive House Institute cer- tified. Business development and technology director Barry Stephens says to date Zehnder America has focused on the residential market through residential-sized equipment. “We have done a number of schools, offices and multi- family projects across North America as well.” Working closely with builders and developers for both development-scale projects, and with modular style home manufacturers, he says the company is focused on build- ing highly energy efficient projects. “We are a member of the Net Zero Energy Coalition, work closely with Passive House consultants (a majority of our models are PHI certi- fied), and other energy efficient projects.” The Zehnder Comfosystem, a heat and energy recovery ventilation system, for instance, provides a constant sup- ply of fresh air, optionally pre-tempered with a geothermal heat exchanger for very cold climates. The company’s website says the heat recovery ventilation device recovers up to 90 per cent of the energy of the extract air to warm the incoming fresh air, saving on heating costs. Air volume can be adjusted individually for each room to provide opti- mal comfort levels and customization. The whole house heat recovery ventilation system has a dual function: extracting moist, stale air from wet rooms such as kitchens and bathrooms and supplying fresh, fil- tered air to living spaces. Stephens says Zehnder has a different approach to its systems. “There are three critical steps to systems that perform at our level.” The process, he says, begins with free design and quote services to customers, through a simple web-based process. Zehnder then provides installers with training tools including online videos and workshops, which are of- fered across North America. “Finally, we include commissioning or Quality Assurance (QA) with all system sales. This last step is critical in as- suring that our systems have been installed and commis- sioned as designed, and assures the building owner that the system will meet its design specification.” 24 – July-August 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report Stephens says Zehnder America is establishing a net- work of dealers to provide support and delivery for its sys- tems across Canada. The company currently has representation in Vancouver and another south of Toronto. “We have obtained the UL/UL-C (CSA equivalent) for two models to date of our HRVs and ERVs, and will continue to add to that list. All of that is backed up by a significant warehousing facility in Massachusetts, and technical sales engineers and/or reps across North America.” For more information, visit zehnderamerica.com.

The industry is served by three key groups: The Cana- dian Precast Prestressed Concrete Institute (CPCI); the Na- tional Precast Concrete Association (NPCA); and the Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute. The NPCA is the largest of the groups with more than 1,000 members across North America. PCI has about 200 members and CPCI has just over 50 members but carries about 80 per cent of Canada's precast industry volume, says managing director Brian Hall. Hall says all of the associations work with infrastructure interests in Canada, undertaking research and develop- ment to support a commitment to public safety. “We have also set a goal to reduce our impact on the environment.” Hall says this is being targeted through a North Ameri- can Sustainable Plant Program that launched in 2012. He says all three associations are working to create a culture of sustainability, starting with lifecycle assessment pro- grams. These programs take place at two levels. “At the manu- facturer level we look at lifecycle and identify areas where processes have an impact on the environment. Then we look to mitigate and negate the impact on water use for instance or initiate higher levels for dust control and reduce our energy consumption.” The Canadian Design and Construction Report — July-August 2015 – 27 PHOTO CREDIT: NPCA “In the future it will be more important to build more resilient homes that can adapt to and withstand these extremes.” He says it is important to note that these initiatives have come out of the industry, they have not been mandated, and they are being put into place across North America. NPCA president Ty Gable says this is just one example of a co-operative effort between all three organizations. “We all realized the importance of this and have banded together to find a common solution.” Gable says while many trade associations tend to be re- actionary, the intent here was to be proactive. “It makes sense to us to work with government to promulgate law, to be included in the laws as they are made and to help develop them.” Hall says in Canada the associations have been ap- proached by provincial governments, looking to under- stand the initiative and to be part of the solution. Another way the associations are working together is in the development of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), which include environmental data about products, including lifecycle information, and which are now required for many projects. “There are many ways to develop EPDs but we believe they need to be verified by a third party in order to be ef- fective,” said Hall. “We are working with ASTM Interna- tional (formerly the American Society for Testing and Materials) in the U.S. and Canada, and also with the Athena Sustainable Materials Institute, and hope to have EPDs in place by the end of 2015.” Other co-operation is evident in the NPCA’s Precast Uni- versity. Gable says this educational program provides com- pany owners who truly embrace environmental protection an opportunity to educate their team. Owners themselves can mandate employees and to attend but the association does not force the requirement. “A truly sustainable envi- ronment only exists when everyone in the building knows what and why and how things need to be done.” Gable says Precast University courses are offered online and in person. Starting with basic concrete technology, the courses are designed to teach students to become experts 28 – April-May 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report at production. In the end, graduates receive certification as a master precaster. Covering safety and sustainability from a philosophical level right down to practical situations on the plant floor, courses are suitable for office staff, upper management and employees in every stage of production. Hall says NPCA opens its courses to CPCI members as well, sharing the information and resources to ensure the industry overall is strong. CPCI has also undertaken an educational program de- signed for architects and engineers. “We do a lot of semi- nars across Canada including one called Infrastructure for Life in which we demonstrate to owners and designers that first cost may not be the real cost.” Hall says the program intends to educate professionals in costing out projects, looking at lifecycle and mainte- nance costs. The industry he says is working to create con- crete that is more durable and the industry should be planning to and expect to build structures and infrastruc- ture that can last 100 years. Beyond infrastructure, the associations are also con- tributing to research on building envelopes. “We’re work- ing with climatologists in North America doing research on our weather and the way we are seeing more extremes,” said Hall. “In the future it will be more important to build more resilient homes that can adapt to and withstand these extremes.” He says while other materials may not tolerate extreme weather, concrete is resilient, durable and adaptable to whatever will come. The associations are also applying social media, com- municating key messages through Facebook, Twitter, e- news as well as through more conventional methods including newsletters and their own precast concrete print magazines.

BASF Construction Chemicals contributes to sustainability initiatives EPD service saves clients' time and supports bidding qualifications Canadian Design and Construction Report staff writer As part of the world’s largest chemical company, BASF serves the construction industry with many innovations and industry firsts. That work includes several sustainabil- ity initiatives including its EPD (Environmental Product Dec- laration) service. BASF sustainability manager David Green says the com- pany developed the life cycle assessment based Eco-Effi- ciency Analysis in 1996 and, since the framework, expertise and experience is already in place, EPDs are a natural next step. He says BASF is able to handle the leg- work for EPDs on behalf of clients. “For a customer to take this on alone they would have to follow specific product category rules (PCR), look at lifecycle details and go through third party verification, all of which can be costly and very time consuming. We educate customers about the process and then take away the frustration of having to complete the process.” He says while it might take a customer four to nine months to complete the process alone, BASF’s expertise and streamlined process means an EPD can be produced in three to four weeks. He adds that they have already been successful in helping clients meet pressing bidding deadlines but being proactive is helpful. While LEED proj- ects have been the driving force behind EPDs to this point, The Canadian Design and Construction Report — July-August 2015 – 29 Green says more projects are requiring them and many companies are creating the documents to have a library of resources at the ready for when projects come up. An EPD created by BASF not only fulfills the ISO stan- dards; it also provides the environmental results that can be used for internal process improvements. “Through the document, opportunities to improve operating efficiencies can be identified including energy use, waste generation and consumptive water use.” Based on Product Category Rules (PCRs) for North America, Green says a BASF EPD can be developed for ei- ther side of the border. Green says BASF is the first admixture company in North America to act as a supplier of EPDs to the industry and he considers it part of the company’s role in helping its cus- tomers be more successful through solutions beyond the product. He says BASF will continue to evolve the EPD service to include new PCRs for different concrete prod- ucts. “We started with the ready mix industry, added con- crete masonry products and are moving into precast now. We will work to ensure all concrete industry sectors are covered for this requirement.” Heavily involved with associations at the regional, inter- national and global level, he says the company is always looking for new ideas and innovation that might resonate with customers elsewhere. “We’re constantly upgrading and updating to stay ahead on our deliverables. We have a close relationship to our customers and constantly work to support their current and future needs.” Green says BASF works to be a true partner to its cus- tomers, spending time in their plants, ensuring they have a full understanding of each customer’s business and each customer’s unique needs.

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

Dr. Mohamed Al-Hussein, associate professor, Con- struction Engineering and Management at the University of Alberta, says combining the third MOC Summit and first ICIC conference created synergies between theory and practice by linking industry with academia. “We wanted to promote modular and offsite construc- tion to the global community and provide a venue for knowledge exchange of modular and offsite construction practices and technologies from across the world,” he said. Al-Hussein said the event also debunked some of the ASSA ABLOY Hospitality The global leader in door opening solutions negative stigma associated with modular and offsite con- struction and addressed other obstacles inhibiting its wider implementation. “It helped establish new research partnerships between industry and academia, and be- tween international parties.” The conference/summit attracted 300 delegates repre- senting 16 countries. Industry sectors represented in- cluded modular manufacturers, architects, engineers, suppliers, contractors, developers and real estate profes- sionals, software providers and those in research and de- velopment. “CEOs, COOs, directors, vice presidents and presidents accounted for 35 per cent of those in attendance,” Al-Hus- sein said. “Twenty-three per cent were academics and re- searchers; 22 per cent were managers, project leads and coordinators; and 13 per cent were estimators, technolo- gists and engineers.” PHOTO COURTESY NRB OFFSITE CONSTRUCTION The next generation of workforce housing management has arrived.

Al-Hussein says he was impressed with the tremendous international response, especially for the first year of the in- ternational and academic component. He also said he was impressed by the fruitful conversations. “One innovation for this year’s MOC Summit and ICIC was the addition of a World Café component in the parallel sessions, which gave an opportunity for listeners to engage with speakers in an informal and more personal context fol- lowing their presentations.” Academic papers have been compiled, Al-Hussein said, in the event’s formal proceedings, and select papers will be published in a special Automation in Construction journal issue. There were factory tours of Landmark Building Solutions and All Weather Windows and the MOC Charity Golf Invita- tional at Lewis Estates Golf Course. The event is scheduled to run again in Edmonton in September 2016. The Canadian Design and Construction Report — July-August 2015 – 35 You’d never know it was built off-site Modular moves to new levels of complexity and customization PHOTO COURTESY NRB OFFSITE CONSTRUCTION Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature Building off-site in a controlled environment means faster schedules, improved safety, sustainable processes and high quality results. Best of all, when you work with a part- ner such as NRB Inc., you never have to sacrifice artistic vision or modify de- sign or materials to realize these ben- efits. “There’s nothing assembly line about what we do,” says NRB’s vice- president of sales and marketing, Lau- rie Robert. “Our buildings have a level of customization, sophistication and completion that our clients have come to expect when they say ‘I want an NRB building.’” Although technically a building manufacturer, NRB understands con- struction and all of the co-ordination and collaboration needed for a suc- cessful project outcome. The com- pany’s skilled trades can complete custom assemblies and finishes with a craftsman’s attention to detail and assemble the pieces seamlessly on the job site. “We’re a hybrid,” says Robert. “We’re a manufacturer with construc- tion smarts. The product is identical to what you’d get if you built it onsite.” NRB has coined the phrase ‘build together’ to explain this blend of man- ufacturing and construction ap- proaches. Using the ‘build together’ methodology, the building is com- pletely assembled at the plant. “We build together so we can have preci- sion fit and finish,” says Robert. “We don’t spend extra time onsite trying to get things to meet. We already know they will.” Designers, owners and their con- struction managers are regularly in- vited to inspect their ‘built together’ building before it ships, whether it’s manufactured at NRB’s facility in Grimsby, Ontario, or New Holland, Pennsylvania. “Clients love seeing their buildings fully assembled,” says NRB president, Bob McNeil. “They can walk up the stairs, stand at a counter and see all the features and finishes installed before the building leaves the plant.” Build together is a mindset as well as a methodology. “We approach every project as part of the team,” says McNeil. “We work with the owner and architect to establish best practices for the off-site construction approach. Then we do the structural design, build, deliver and assemble the finished building onsite, often working with the general contractor on the site. Projects can be completed 30 to 50 per cent faster than conven- tional construction. And time is money, no matter who the client is.” To put the benefits of modular de- sign and a construction mindset to work for your next project, contact Laurie Robert at laurierobert@nrb- inc.com. Award-winning results NRB’s off-site construction projects are regular winners at the annual Modular Building Institute’s awards. “We’re always pushing ourselves,” says McNeil. “We have built things that others didn’t think you could build mod- ular.” Dorm addition, Muhlenberg College, Best in Show Award 2014: This dra- matic three-storey addition, featuring a grey slate tile roof, copper cupola and brick sourced to match the circa 1820 heritage building, was completed so quickly the school avoided the cost of providing temporary off-campus housing for students.

The company’s story began in 1974 when lockmaker Tor Sørnes heard reports about his favorite American singer being attacked by an intruder who broke into her hotel room. The incident inspired him to invent the world’s first recordable door lock, VingCard's original concept. The company quickly became the global leader in hospitality industry guestroom security. Around the same time, Bjørn Lyng, invented and intro- duced the world’s first electronic in-room safe to the hotel and lodging market. The two companies joined forces in 1994 to form Vingcard Elsafe (now known as ASSA ABLOY Hospitality). Today the company continues to leverage the most ad- vanced technologies to offer security and peace of mind to all types of lodging providers and their guests/residents in a variety of industries, including workforce housing and modular facilities. “This extensive expertise has made us the world’s lead- ing provider of advanced locking and access solutions, in- cluding innovative technologies such as Mobile Access, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) electronic locking systems with compatible software, energy management solutions and more,” says Tim Shea, president of ASSA ABLOY Hospitality. Shea says managing the inflow and outflow of both temporary and permanent staff in modular housing/work camps presents many security issues that must be prop- erly managed. “Traditional mechanical keys are no longer a solution, because they are simply unmanageable. In ad- dition to not providing any real security, they offer no trace- ability of who has been where and when, it is impossible to track copies of keys that might have been made, and cylinders must often be replaced,” he said. “With all of these factors combined, mechanical keys are simply not the solution when locking systems have to manage thousands of cabins and thousands of employees coming in and out during both the construction and the management of the sites.” ASSA ABLOY’s advanced RFID (Radio Frequency Iden- tification) technology brings substantial benefits to site management and maintenance, in part because it can also write back information on each staff and personnel RFID keycard. Therefore, it is possible to read out the events from each user keycard and obtain a detailed activity track- ing of each staff and personnel. Additionally online installations can retrieve, reprogram and change electronic lock settings, avoiding having to travel to each and every lock to change the site's access parameters. ASSA ABLOY's innovative solutions are continuously setting new standards in the industry with proven, reliable technology and user-friendly features, as well as a “future- proof” modular design that is simple and affordable to up- grade to the latest RFID reader technology. Product benefits include: A simple upgrade process re- quiring minimal installation time and impact on employees; security features including remote room status, intruder alarms, remote card cancellation; streamlined mainte- nance with remote battery status reporting and remote maintenance alarms; and reducing energy consumption within rooms by up to 40 per cent with a retrofit of an Orion energy management system. ASSA ABLOY also provides onsite training and local sup- port. “Our company has evolved over the years, but who we are remains the same,” says Shea. “Our purpose is not simply to lock and unlock more doors-it is to unlock the feeling of safety, security and belonging for more people, wherever they go.” For more information, visit www.assaabloy.com. The Canadian Design and Construction Report — July-August 2015 – 37 Cordell International Inc. focuses expertise on modular construction industry with doors, windows and other products Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature Cordell International Inc. focuses its expertise and customization on doors, windows, and other products to support the modular construction industry in North America and abroad. The family-owned, Florida-based business has thrived for more than two decades. Vice-president and co- owner Bradley Cordell says, through their many facilities, Cordell can sup- ply a wide range of products in virtu- ally any material including metal and plastics. Over the years, Cordell has focused its attention on the modular construc- tion industry. “Whether it is doors and windows, metal furnishings, plastic ta- bles and chairs, or faucets, Cordell In- ternational is designed to supply items factory direct, cutting out the middle man and the associated over- head costs.” He says the goal is to provide top notch products at the best prices. Cordell says the company recog- nizes there has been a significant move to modular construction around the globe. Modular construction has been adapted for projects ranging from a Chinese hotel constructed of shipping containers to U.S. modular medical centres. “We provide a variety of door op- tions including steel out-swing, com- mercial, and container doors than can help cut installation times. We use what we believe are the best materi- Manufacturers and suppliers of: • Doors: container, commercial steel and out-swing steel • Windows: aluminum and vinyl • Furniture: including bunk beds, tables and chairs, and lockers We are a one-stop shop for clients. We can manufacture or source and supply a variety of unique products to support your project needs. CORDELL INTERNATIONAL INC. 38 – July-August 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report Cordell International, INC. 5371 SE Maricamp Rd, Ocala, FL 34480 (352) 694-1800 (Office) (352) 236-6986 (FAX) als available for each specific door.” Cordell says the company ensures the highest-grade virgin materials are used and then strives to offer the low- est prices people will find. Cordell’s out-swing door has appli- cations for both interior and exterior use and is currently being adapted for use both in the Middle East and Africa. The company’s container door is a weld-in door that takes a minimal ef- fort to install into metal and can also be installed in other applications such as concrete or wood. Cordell also offers a commercial door specifically designed for the Canadian market. Measured and tooled in millimetres, Cordell says the difference is minimal but means Cana- dian clients don’t have to make the minor adjustments that would other- wise be required on site. Other distinctions include Cordell’s higher fire rating on its doors. “The re- quirement of many fire ratings is only 1.5 hours. Our commercial door is cer- tified for three hours but we can offer it at a price lower than another door rated for 1.5 hours.” All of Cordell’s doors are consid- ered to be security doors for their var- ious usages. Container and commercial doors can also come equipped with a Euro-style double cylinder lock to beef up the security as- pect. Cordell also offers a variety of vinyl and aluminum window products in- cluding a low e-glass option. “We manufacture aluminum double- strength glass using a thicker glass than our competitors. The aluminum is suitable for any market and, properly installed, the thicker glass supports en- ergy efficiency and controls the loss of warm or cool air in any weather condi- tion when installed using the correct sealants and finishing.” He says the vinyl windows Cordell manufactures meet all requirements for any situation or environment. In ad- dition, with OEM orders, all windows can be designed specifically to meet individual client needs, whether it is Low-E, Egress, grids in the windows, or vertical or horizontal styles. Cordell says his company provides unique custom solutions. “We work with a range of clients, from smaller companies who may order one door a month to larger businesses that re- quire thousands and need something fully customized.” Part of what allows Cordell to offer this flexibility is its history as a smaller, family-run business. Cordell says be- cause the company offers factory-di- rect service, it is able to keep margins low and help clients turn larger profits. As second-generation owners, he says he and his brother still value the personal touch on which their parents built the company, and both are ac- tively involved with clients. “When people call Cordell they are always going to get a real person and they can always speak to the same person when that is needed.” In addition to windows and doors, Cordell also manufactures plastic ta- bles and chairs, bunk beds, lockers, faucets, and has access to a wide array of other products and building materials. He says the company can source any product customers may require that they do not already have, ensuring Cordell can act as a one-stop partner for a wide range of client needs. The Canadian Design and Construction Report — July-August 2015 – 39 CANADIAN PAINT AND COATINGS ASSOCIATION Strategic plan addresses regulatory and members' challenges as association grows, enhances services Canadian Design and Construction Report staff writer The Canadian Paint and Coatings Association (CPCA) is moving forward with its new strategic plan, helping mem- bers transition to new legislative requirements, with a key publication to address member concerns and industry is- sues. CPCA president Gary LeRoux says the association’s new strategic plan addresses six vital priorities. “First, there is a need to ensure the association gets ahead and stays ahead of the curve on regulations being considered and developed by all levels of government and at important lev- els of government in the United States as they often influ- ence and dictate the actions of governments in Canada.” He says CPCA will continue its work to maintain the pro- file and positive working relationship it has with appropri- ate government departments so there is a seat at the table from the beginning. LeRoux says the strategic plan also includes an under- standing of the need for greater harmonization of steward- ship programs across Canada to reduce the regulatory burden and costs for members with respect to payment for post-consumer paint recycling for architectural coatings particularly. “Third, the plan calls for a greater harmonization of reg- ulations between Canada and the United States to reduce the regulatory burden and costs for members. The U.S.- Canada Joint Regulatory Co-operation Council (RCC) is now the main vehicle that works on bilateral harmonization of regulations on both sides of the border.” He says this route was used in the ongoing work on the GHS (Globally Harmonized System) legislation in 2014. The RCC he says has now tabled its action plan of priorities for the next several years and there will be opportunities for CPCA to advocate for more regulatory alignment. “How- ever, there continues to be actions taken at the state level, not covered by this action plan, which could impact mem- bers in Canada, such as California’s proposed regulations on aerosols.” While there has been success in recovering post-con- sumer paint across Canada, the strategic plan recognizes 40 – July-August 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report the ongoing challenges to find markets for recycled paint. LeRoux says this situation may eventually erode the sup- port for post-consumer paint recovery if governments and NGOs begin questioning the success based on the inability to re-use leftover paint by exporting to other markets. “Cur- rently it is estimated that more than 80 per cent of the re- covered paint is exported elsewhere. Better ways must be found to get more value from recovered paint and better is defined as responsible and effective use of leftover paint.” Our network of company stores Cloverdale Paint is dedicated to With our NACE certified sales and independent Cloverdale Paint providing a full range of premium force and our Research and dealers across Western Canada products and services to all trade Development labs in Western provide the home owner with paint market segments.

LeRoux says potential programs will be evaluated on a cost-benefit basis and their utility for mem- bers. “While the association does not currently have a broad range of ‘knowledge products’ currently in terms of ‘certi- fication’ for members, these new programs will constitute value-added programs for the benefit of members,” he said. Finally, LeRoux says growing membership must always be a preoccupation of associations. “Developing new programs and creating a stronger value proposition will help retain and attract new mem- bers. Retention is as important as recruitment.” He says over the past three years there has been posi- tive member growth with more than 20 new members added to the roster. There are still companies in the coat- ings sector who would benefit from CPCA's programs and services, and whose participation would help advocate on critical issues for the industry as a whole, and this he says, is addressed in the strategic plan's final component. 42 – July-August 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report The association has also developed ‘CPCA Insight’ which is available through its website and mailed to mem- bers. LeRoux says it is the first edition and only publication that the association will print going forward. “It serves as a ‘Swiss army knife’ of sorts for the association and reports on the work done in the previous year, provides articles and insight on some of the current trends in the industry, highlights the work done by the various committees and showcases the members in the sector with relevant con- tact information in a guide and directory.” He says the association will continue to finesse this publication to make it as relevant as possible for members and all those who read it. In other areas, the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) for the classification and labelling of chemicals has cleared the legislative and regulatory hurdles with a two-year tran- sition period for implementation. CPCA has been following the development closely and LeRoux says he believes all of the association’s key issues have been addressed. “Provinces and territories still have to provide comprehen- sive guidance and training for the full implementation within their respective jurisdiction.” He says CPCA has formed a partnership with ICC Com- pliance Centre who are running training programs for its members to ensure they are fully up to speed on what is needed to transition to the new GHS system.

CANADIAN PAINT AND COATINGS ASSOCIATION Cloverdale Paint thrives with research, development and product innovations Canadian Design and Construction report special feature Established initially on a small farm near Cloverdale, B.C. in 1933, Cloverdale Paint has grown to be one of North America’s largest regional paint and coatings manufacturers. Still family owned and operated, the company is continuing its growth and innovation to better serve the market. Throughout its history, Cloverdale has progres- sively opened new branches and added increasing research and development components to its opera- tions. Tim Vogel, chief executive officer, says both ef- forts continue today. “We opened a new store in southern Alberta last year and added a new distribu- tion centre in Calgary. Here in Surrey, we will be mov- ing into a new head office and expanding our research and development lab into the current head office space.” Innovation and product develop- ment has always been at the heart of Cloverdale and Vogel says this remains one of the company’s core values. In the 1970s the company developed the first colour matching and formulation computer in West- ern Canada. The company also developed new product lines in- cluding air dry and bake enamels for the OEM (origi- nal equipment manufacturer) market, coatings for the oil and gas industry, maintenance coatings for fabri- cators, machinery and equipment, along with coat- ings for the B.C. forest industry. Vogel says new technology and new products will always be required, as one part of the chain develops a new component or new ingredient, or as one end- user uncovers a new requirement and the industry must react. “I am amazed at the changes I have seen, especially over the last 25 years with respect to better quality products, better performing products and the move towards healthier products.” To support its clients with the transition to new products Vogel says Cloverdale performs extensive in-house testing, trying new products on different ap- plications and with different tools. “We can then share guidelines, tips, recommended tools and ad- vice to ensure high success with the products.” Vogel says these innovations arise from an under- standing of what the market needs, which in turn is often driven by legislation and consumer awareness and demand. Not waiting to follow though, Vogel says Cloverdale seeks opportunities both to advance its products and the industry. Cloverdale was one of the founding members of the BC Paint Care Association, which operates paint recycling depots throughout British Columbia. The company also initiated several internal programs to re-utilize water and solvent liquid wastes; to recycle empty steel drums, wooden pallets and corrugated cardboard; and to reuse solid wastes whenever fea- sible. Cloverdale currently operates 64 company stores stretching across the country from B.C. through Que- bec and its products are also available through more than 100 independent dealers. The company also services spray equipment and pressure wash- ers through locations across Western Canada. The company is a member of the American Coatings Association (ACA), the Canadian Paint and Coat- ings Association (CPCA), the Pacific Northwest Society for Coatings Technology (PN- WSCT), and the GVRD – Lower Fraser Valley Air Qual- ity Advisory Committee.

APCA general manager Kirk Beggs says though the industry's industrial side has slowed because of low oil prices, the industry is still active through commer- cial and large scale residential projects. “People are more educated about investing in and maintaining properties and in need of quality assurance for work done so that side of the business is very strong.” This interest in quality work and what it means to the life of a building is just one of the drivers behind one of the association’s key focuses: inspection serv- ices. Beggs says APCA is the province's original inspec- tion service provider. “Our inspections are taken very seriously. We ensure that the work is done properly and to the project specifications from preparation to final application. We ensure the owner gets the maxi- mum value for their investment.” ALBERTA PAINTING CONTRACTORS ASSOCIATION www.idealcontractservices.com The Alberta Painting Contrac- tors Association (APCA) rep- resents the major players in the Alberta painting industry with a focus on commercial and in- dustrial projects.

Inspections start before work even begins, making sure the surface is ready and that the proper materials are being used. Stage by stage inspections then verify numbers of coats and the accuracy of application. “We can identify problems early and give the contractor an opportunity to fix the issue. A report to the general contractor and archi- tect will identify the issue as a back-up to ensure it is rec- tified.” APCA also supports the industry with specifications. Beggs says despite changes in 2012 involving VOCs and products which are not suitable for use, he still regularly sees projects specifying outdated materials. “We work The Alberta Painting Contractors Association (APCA) represents the major players in the Alberta painting industry with a focus on commercial and industrial projects. APCA supports a skilled workforce providing quality service. APCA awards annual scholarships to assist apprentices seeking their journeyman trade designation in painting and decorating.

It also works with educational facilities to develop training programs for the industry, including background on how paints are made, instruction on best use and programs intended to teach people how to be inspectors. “We have mini-trade shows for members with suppliers showcasing new product and in 2016 we expect to bring in more social opportunities to get members out and net- working, as well as continuing our focus on our main func- tions of education, specification writing and quality assurance.” For more information, visit http://apca.ca. INSPECTION AND GUARANTEE PROGRAM APCA is the approved quality control association for the Inspection Program in Alberta. This Inspection Program was developed by the Master Painters Institute (MPI) in order to guarantee the use of quality products and proper procedures by qualified tradespeople. The paint contract may only be 5% of the total project cost but 85% of the finished product is judged on the first impression made by the painting and decorating. Mission APCA is committed to upholding and improving the standards of the painting and decorating industry. It represents independent contractors involved in the painting and wall covering industry serving the residential, commercial, industrial and institutional sectors. APCA also administers the Inspection and Guarantee Program and serves as liaison among industry groups.

Floor Covering Association (BCFA) advocates for higher standards, training and quality CaDCR staff writer The B.C. Floor Covering Association (BCFCA) represents flooring retailers, installers, manufacturers and distributors. “The BCFCA and its province-wide membership are dedi- cated to continuously raising the standards of excellence in the carpet, hardwood, resilient, laminate, cork and bam- boo floor coverings industry,” its website reports. As an example, the association has restarted its annual Flooring Expo and Installers Convention, held last year in Langley and this year scheduled for Kelowna on Oct. 20. The event includes of a full day of installation training sessions and a product trade show. Before 2014 it had been several years since the previous event took place. The association supports improved training to reduce flooring failures, because these problems generally relate to either site conditions and/or training. In May and June alone courses included Intermediate Floor Covering Installation, Conflict Management, Interme- diate Sand and Finish, Negotiation Skills, Teambuilding and Succession Planning. BCFCA also offers Installation Review Quality Assurance Program (QAP) inspections. According to BCFCA’s web- site, the inspection service is designed “to ensure floor coverings are installed according to nationally recognized standards as detailed in the NFCA Floor Covering Refer- ence Manual.” “This Installation Review, Quality Assurance Program (QAP), is a specifiable, third party inspection service oper- ated by the Master Floor Covering Standards Institute. This service is aimed at larger commercial flooring projects.” Meanwhile, the NFCA (National Floor Covering Associ- ation) Floor Covering Reference Manual, a BCFCA focus for several years, contains about 1,000 pages of architec- tural specifications and reference guides and installation instructions for general contractors, flooring contractors, architects and owners. New in 2014, the manual is available online free to mem- bers and through an online marketplace for non-members. Viewers can download sections for free, and pay a fee for the full specifications. The manual also explains trade qualification require- ments. Installers who complete the registered provincial apprenticeship training programs are deemed to be ‘Trade Qualified’ under the NFCA Quality Assurance Program (Part A05). The two training programs are: INSTALL (International Standards and Training Alliance) practices for certification and the inter-provincial Standards Red Seal Program. The BCFCA’s representation from all industry sectors provides good coverage to promote and support the in- dustry. Its inspection services provide a resource for con- sumers who have concerns and its internal programs and information help ensure retailers, manufacturers and in- stallers have the tools they need.

The Canadian Design and Construction Report — July-August 2015 – 47 BAY RESOURCE GROUP: Environmentally responsible, phthalates-free flooring products Special to Canadian Design and Construction Report UBC Ponderosa Richmond, B.C. - based Bay Resource Group has been leading the way with environmentally responsible, phtha- lates- free flooring products for 15 years. Today it supplies residential as well as commercial and institutional markets. President and CEO Ed Van Oene says Bay Resource has focused on the environment since the beginning. “Di- noflex, another B.C.-based company, has been a leading innovator in the manufacture of recycled rubber products for more than two decades. And we have carried their line since day one.” Dinoflex he says, from its inception, was used primarily in sport applications. In the past 10 years though it has made substantial inroads into retail, architectural offices and high profile corporate venues and can be customized with intricate logos and designs. Hotel BLU 48 – July-August 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report Van Oene says Bay Resource evolved by branching into luxury vinyl tile under the Harbinger trademark.

Thornhill Mercedez-Benz dealership that opened June 22 offers greater display capabilities, improved customer service and an energy-efficient design. Richard Ziegler Architect designed the building at 228 Steeles Ave. W., while Fieldgate Construction Management Ltd. was the project's general contractor. Steelcon Fabrication Inc. provided steel fabrication and detailing for the relocation and expansion of the corporate dealership that originally opened in 1988. Two buildings on the 3.2 acre site were demolished in Nov. 2013 to make way for the new structure with three levels, two above-ground and one below. The lower level includes an 18 bay service department and 118 underground inventory parking spots. Fieldgate senior project manager James Ricchetti says the lo- cation and the lower level requirements created significant chal- lenges. “The basement is 20 ft. high. We were removing 100 loads of dirt a day for more than four months to get the site cleared and there was no one (disposal) site that could handle the volume so that meant using different sites and co-ordinating details.” Since the building is tight to all four property lines, he says noth- ing much else could be done during excavation work given the space and traffic control required. A news release announcing the project said the new dealership would include “ample space over two floors, incorporating an ex- tensive new and pre-owned vehicle showroom totaling 36,000 sq. ft.” The basement area service bays Ricchetti says were necessary to meet the required showroom and parking spaces. He says LED lighting has been used to make the space bright, sound diffusion technology has been installed and pictures displaying various cars are on display. “When you’re down there, it doesn’t feel at all like a basement.” 50 – July-August 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report A four-ply roof covered with stone will also accommodate parking at the building's rear, with access through a nearby freight elevator. To handle the unique requirements for material and facility management, including oil and the exhaust gener- ated by the underground cars, Ric- chetti says Mercedes brought in its own experienced trades during the project's final months. The dealership also houses a dedi- cated AMG Performance Centre and a smart (small car) Centre. An additional 43,000 sq. ft. has been earmarked for the service area, and includes 32 state- of-the-art work bays, six detailing bays as well as a six vehicle drive-through. The new site also offers significant client parking enhancements com- pared to the previous location. The release also noted “the layout of the new facility will follow the Mer- cedes-Benz proprietary Auto Haus de- sign concept, which promotes “the widespread use of glass to maintain transparency and create a bright, open concept feeling.” In this, Ricchetti says concessions had to be made. “The original design called for window sizes and thickness that were not cost-effective. We were able to move to four mullions from three and achieved important cost sav- ings.” The new Mercedes-Benz retail cor- porate identity, which includes black with accents of silver, “reminiscent of the three-pointed star, will replace the blue colours traditionally seen in Mer- cedes-Benz stores.” This, Ricchetti says, supports Mer- cedes interest in a simple building de- sign to better showcase the cars. “The corporate colour design actually changed mid-way through construc- tion, moving away from the old black, white and blue to just black and white.” Energy efficiencies have been built into the design through HVAC sys- tems. The Canadian Design and Construction Report — July-August 2015 – 51 City View Glass provides aluminum curtain walls and exterior glass for Thornhill Mercedes-Benz Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature Kitchener-based City View Glass Inc. has applied its ex- pertise to the successful completion of the new Thornhill Mercedes-Benz dealership. Established in 2013 and based on two decades worth of industry experience, City View Glass specializes in com- mercial glass but also lends its proficiency to high-end res- idential projects. President Bill Martin says the Thornhill project require- ments were fairly straightforward, but extensive. City View Glass provided all of the aluminum curtain wall and glass for the building exterior. He says the curtain wall was made to custom lengths to span the full 30 ft. height in one piece. “The aluminium framing was then loaded with steel to achieve OBC (On- tario Building Code) required wind loading.” The lower glass on the exterior he says, is a low iron product that allows maximum visibility. Interior work con- sisted of 19 heavy glass office walls and doors made from floor-to-ceiling glass. Martin says handling the glass and aluminum proved to be the biggest challenge and required a crane and four men to handle the heavy framing. Noting that the company understands all projects re- quire teamwork, Martin says employees approach each project with this intent, hoping to achieve best results for the client. “We had to make a couple of adjustments in this case from the original design, such as adding extra vertical mullions to reduce the glass size, which in turn, created cost savings.” Over the past two years City View Glass has completed multiple LA Fitness clubs, several Sobeys and Longo’s gro- cery stores, a Home Depot, Muskoka cottages (custom showers, indoor/outdoor glass railings) and numerous other projects throughout the GTA, Waterloo-Wellington Region and across the province. He says he is pleased to have been part of the Mer- cedes-Benz project, one of the company’s largest to date. For more information, visit www.cityviewglass.com.

The awards recognize projects substantially completed between Jan. 1, 2012 and Dec. 15, 2014. Award categories consider project value, type of construction, difficulty, com- plexity, size and overall project satisfaction. Sharon Village Care Homes contracted with Bronnenco to be the construction manager for the new, LEED Silver 8,165 sq. m., four-storey long term care facility in the city's northeastern area. 54 – July-August 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report “The sub structure of the building proved most difficult, and despite having only 20 months to complete the proj- ect, we were able to meet the owner’s (2014) occupancy date,” said project manager Justin Nguyen. The building has a library, chapel, dining spaces, theatre room, hairdressing, therapy rooms and a day program room. It also houses 128 beds for residents, as well as support areas for staff, including offices, medicine and supply rooms, nurse call stations and laundry facilities. Day program space for adults with acquired brain injuries, com- plete with separate access, is also included. Nguyen says the new facility provides homes to vulner- able seniors, enriching their lives, regardless of their age or disabilities, with all the comforts and amenities of home. He said the building's location created challenges. “The building footprint is 1,886 sq. m. and sits on a total site area of 9,901 sq. m. The site is bordered on the south and north by residential houses and to the west by Highbury Ave., which is one of London’s main roads.” He says there is a significant change in grade along Highbury Ave., dropping more than seven meters from the high point at the south to the low point at the north. Within the site itself, the major grade difference he said, occurred along a slope running diagonally from the southwest cor- ner to the northeast corner; with the upper elevation up to nine meters above the base. “Due to extensive topographic changes, the available site area consists of an elongated triangular parcel extend- ing east from Highbury Ave. between the bottom of the slope running along the south side of the site and the slope created along the north.” He said because of this, the staging area and parking were very limited. To accommodate parking for the trade contractors a temporary parking lot had to be created at the top of the hill at Jensen Rd. “There was no parking per- mitted on site except for one vehicle from each trade con- tractor firm. Trades were responsible to shuttle manpower and tools to the job site or walk down the hill via the path and temporary stairs created.” In addition “the existing fill, topsoil, peat, marl and soft clay was not suitable to support the proposed building foundations and floor slabs due to the low strength and high organic content in the material,” Nguyen said. To solve this problem and support the building, 308 steel pipe piles, 250 mm in diameter were driven to depths ranging from 4 m to 10 m below the underside of the con- crete grade beam elevation. Once driven to the required depths, Nguyen says these piles were filled with 30mpa concrete. “The last steel pile was driven 2.5 months after the trade contractor mobilized onto site.” He says additionally, due to the decomposition of fill ma- terial and organic matter in the peat and marl deposits, there were methane gas concentrations. “The design of the building foundation included a combination of pile caps and grade beams. The use of this foundation resulted in the area beneath the building being divided into individual cells, which would be isolated from each other and allow for gases to accumulate beneath the structural slab.” Nguyen says it is an honour to win the OGCA award. “It brings satisfaction to Bronnenco knowing that we com- pleted a project that is highly recognized by our peers within the construction industry.” Sewers / Watermains • Roadworks / Parking Lots Excavation / Earthworks • Design / Build Equipment Rentals • Trucking / Snow Plowing Congratulations Bronnenco! 3003 PAGE STREET, LONDON, ONTARIO N5V 4J1 519-652-2104 www.johnaartsgroup.com asantos@j-aar.com The Canadian Design and Construction Report — July-August 2015 – 55 ONTARIO GENERAL CONTRACTORS ASSOCIATION BUILDER AWARDS Smith-Peat Roofing and Sheet Metal Ltd. applies experience and expertise to Earls Court Village project Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature Exeter-based Smith-Peat Roofing and Sheet Metal Ltd. has applied its experience and expertise to the Earls Court Village project in London. In business since 1972, Smith-Peat has always been fo- cused on the institutional, commercial, industrial and edu- cation sectors. This, says president Robert Watson, allows Smith-Peat to become true project partners. “We are able to work with the project team to ensure the best roofing solution and best design to meet conditions including our climate, as well as the client’s long-term goals.” The Earls court project required a durable and long-last- ing roof – and a green roof needed to be incorporated into the design. That, says Watson, required more advance prep work to accommodate the complex soil and drainage layers. To meet the durability requirement, Smith-Peat used a two-ply, two-part modified bitumen membrane. Watson says his crew applied a base sheet on top of the steel deck, and then waited until all other trades completed their work on the roof, before applying the cap sheet. “Once the other trades are done we can identify and repair any issues or deficiencies, and then topping it with the final layer after ensures a reasonably untouched, issue-free final product.” The roofing system also had to meet the challenge of being installed during extreme cold after the schedule had to be pushed back from its original September timeline. Watson says Smith-Peat’s experience allowed the com- pany to meet all of these challenges head on. “There is a lot more detail involved in this kind of work, more so than say an industrial building.
