CCA PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

CCA OF THE FUTURE Wm (Bill) Black, B.Sc., CEC, LEED AP, CCA President & COO When we were putting together the publica­ tion for last year while reflecting on a tough 2020, we were hoping that life would open up over the year to come. Little did we know that the resilience that we had celebrated from 2020 in adapting to the pandemic would be required for yet another full year of COVID-related restrictions and uncer­ tainty.

Now, looking back on the ways that the last two years have affected so many aspects of society on a global scale, our industry here in Calgary and across Alberta has been able to adapt and continue to operate as an essential business throughout the entire pe­ riod. This is a remarkable achievement.

Here we are another year later daring to imagine that restrictions are behind us yet again – construction folks are, if noth­ ing else, eternal optimists! We are gradu­

MEDICAL

CORPORATE

ally taking tentative steps back into the life we used to take for granted and as we do, we are realizing just how much we missed.

There are still challenges facing us in the return to “normal”, or whatever that is now.

Consequently, this next chapter will not be as simple as merely flicking a switch back on after a major societal reset over such a long period, but we are ready for whatever it brings.

Our

ability

to

remain

operational

throughout was solely due to the industry’s willingness to step up and take collective ownership of the safety protocols required.

In doing so, we showed real leadership and demonstrated an unprecedented level of multi-stakeholder collaboration that has taught us a lesson that we must not forget – namely:

RETAIL

“CREATING DESIRABLE SPACES”

HOSPITALITY

A UNITED AND ALIGNED INDUSTRY IS MUCH STRONGER THAN A FRAGMENTED ONE This is particularly important when we consider the challenges that remain as well as whatever may come in the years ahead.

PROCUREMENT There is no doubt that public and private procurement practices have universally des­ ignated our services as a commodity to be bid out to the lowest common denomina­ tor. In that scenario, value and quality take a back seat to cheap and fast.

Our industry is much better than this and we will not survive or raise the bar on the results of our work in the race to the bot­ tom world that has already prevailed for far too long. Whether it is the downloading of design or the relentless downloading of risk, our industry is going to need to take stock and align against these forces or face a bleak future. Matters came to a head in the UK with the Egan Report in the late nineties and now the Australian industry is facing the realities of the same magnitude.

What makes us think we will escape a similar fate?

CCA will seek to facilitate the same collaborative capabilities experienced through COVID in seeking better ways to advocate for proper recognition of our industry, how it actually operates, and why it needs to be engaged properly.

FLOW OF MONEY

403-244-9030 8

Calgary Construction Association

www.createprojects.ca

Prompt Payment legislation will come into effect later this year and, while we cel­ ebrate this as progress in an area of great challenge, this will likely not mean an end to the flow of money issues that have dogged

CCA PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

our industry for decades. Let’s face it – the way in which payment became a “sugges­ tion” and non-payment was considered an acceptable practice should never have been allowed to evolve to the degree that it did.

The reality is however all parties, whether the ones who perpetrated it or those that were willing to endure instead of challeng­ ing the practice, are to blame.

Once again CCA will seek to help facilitate cross-industry effort toward reversing this practice forever by working across all stakeholder groups in the years ahead.

ESCALATION, SUPPLY CHAIN, AND LEAD TIMES It is likely that supply chain, escalation, and lead time problems will be with us for a year or more while things across the world settle down and recover.

Diligent work needs to be done to protect our members from procurement practices that seem to think they can ignore this real­ ity, and the same level of collaboration and advocacy referred to above will need to be

put to work between industry and owner groups to find realistic solutions.

CLIMATE RESILIENCY In case you are resisting the desire to roll your eyes …

As our city is setting out on its climate re­ siliency plans, following the declaration by Mayor Gondeck shortly after her inaugura­ tion, I invite you to look at this as possibly the best opportunity presented to our in­ dustry in years where we can showcase our real value and worth to society on a whole new level.

If we were to set aside the divisive nature of this subject and look at it as an industry in the light of what is happening elsewhere, the results others have realized as they have pioneered in the area, the prospect is much more significant opportunity than a threat.

Yes, climate change and the way it has been promoted along with the villainization of Alberta and our legacy energy industry is very hard to take and it is easy to see it as an attack on the Alberta way of life. The prob­

lem is that resistance to this over the last 20 years has not halted its adoption across soci­ ety globally and, in fact, the energy put into resisting the issue could have been much better applied to learning how to adapt our businesses to respond and become solution experts in this new reality.

With ESG and other approaches featur­ ing more, whether with financial institu­ tions, investors, or citizens, there is now lit­ erally a scorecard of how we compare across the world. The fact that our oil and gas ESG scores are the highest in the world seems to have conveniently eluded our critics – it is time to turn this around.

The large oil and gas producers have al­ ready created their own alliance towards net zero while large Calgary home builders are adopting solar and heat pump technologies into all their new homes. This is a business response to where their customers and tar­ get markets are headed, and our response should be no different.

It is no different for a city that needs to compete on a global stage for companies

“Founded in 2004, the company focus for Davenport Millwright Services has always been to deliver industrial contracting services to our customers that exceed their expectations. Our continued growth and success are directly attributable to our focus and exemplary customer service.”

We understand that the equipment, plant services, or specialty items that our customers entrust to our care are critical to their operations. As such, our staff employs the same care and respect while working on them, as should be expected.

CCA PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

and for talent. Yes, we need amenities such as LRT and entertainment districts but, whether we like it or not, the people and the businesses that are evaluating different des­ tinations, most of which already have de­ clared climate emergencies and have taken steps in their journey, will be looking for us to have done likewise.

We need to lead in this area and not just be a “me too”. There are cities that are 20 years ahead of us who did not have an inno­ vative energy industry at their core as we do.

Our expertise combined with their knowl­ edge - should we choose to learn from other pioneering cities - could have us caught up in five years.

The City of Calgary has stated that our current built environment is 65 per cent of Calgary’s carbon footprint. That is 20 per cent higher than many other cities and means that, if this is the case, then our industry will be 65 per cent of the solution under a climate strategy moving forward.

Personally, I like these odds and, as a

business development guy, I love these pros­ pects as they present a clear fast track out of the commoditization trap that we referred to earlier and ultimately the positioning of our industry as solution providers, leaders, and partners in the future of Calgary – not low bidders so desperate for work that we will take it at any cost.

It is time to prove the naysayers wrong Calgary and step up to be world leaders in the transition economy that will rely on the same work ethic, innovation, and resilience that built the energy industry and the city that we all love and are fiercely proud of.

CCA has engaged with the Climate Group and others within the city for the last few years to participate on behalf of our members, and we continue to seek a signifi­ cant role in this strategic future on behalf of our industry.

IMPROVED ECONOMIC PROSPECTS The tentative optimism that began in the last half of 2020 is continuing and there are definite signs that the construction econo­ my is improving despite some of the prevail­ ing challenges. I do believe however that we may not be entering another up cycle such as those we have seen in the past and, as they are always followed by another doom cycle, perhaps we should be glad of that fact.

What we are approaching is likely “transi­ tion building” as we respond to a new chap­ ter in our city marked by a more diverse economy, downtown revitalization, climate resiliency, a possible inland port, and many other opportunities for our industry to par­ ticipate in a real meaningful recovery as we build the Calgary of the future.

I truly believe that if we are willing to truly embrace these realities just as we did over the last two years, we will indeed make Calgary the best city in Canada to be in the construction industry!

CCA OF THE FUTURE CCA has invested over the last three years in what the Association of the future needs to look like and we have focussed our team on the services and support that our mem­ bers need most as business owners and in­ dustry professionals.

CCA PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

YOUR INDUSTRY VOICE We are the first local construction as­ sociation in Alberta, and one of only a few across Canada to have invested in a Director of Government Relations to take industry advocacy to the next level (see later). This is rewriting the way in which we engage in municipal, and ultimately, provincial mat­ ters and will be a fundamental aspect in the CCA of the future.

When I stepped into this role, I found it

incredibly frustrating to witness the relative ease with which officials seemed to ignore our industry on key issues. I also began to see just how many decisions being made at all levels were happening without our voice at the table. By the time we saw the results, the bid documents were in our hands and the time for real impact had long since passed.

Nobody likes being ignored or shut out of key decisions that affect them directly and, when you represent the second largest

industry in the country and 10 per cent + of GDP, that quickly becomes totally unacceptable.

As we sought to better understand this dynamic, it became clear that we were largely seen as a service industry and con­ sequently we ourselves were largely inter­ facing with municipal and even provincial bodies only through a procurement lens. To this end, we have maintained a very success­ ful City of Calgary Liaison Committee for many years, and it has worked well with the administration on key issues on behalf of members. What we needed was an ability to participate in policy and to do so we needed to become a trusted advisor.

Throughout 2020, we interfaced with authorities around the Pandemic Planning Document and site safety as we sought busi­ ness continuity through COVID. During this period our role shifted. As we then sup­ ported prompt payment engagement over recent years, we could clearly see the need for industry expertise in guiding authori­ ties and the impact our work along with the work that ACA was having. However, despite some progress in these areas, our concerns as to the trajectory of the Green Line seemed to fall on deaf ears, both pro­ vincially and municipally.

With municipal elections looming in late 2021, it was clear that with a new mayor and almost new council there was an opportuni­ ty to build new relationships from the outset and develop the ability to support the city with an industry voice as it related to policy and not just procurement.

With our new Director coming from a chief of staff position at the city starting in November, exactly two weeks after that same election, we began to work on this portfolio in a manner that is changing our role toward our goal.

Ultimately, we want to support our city and represent our industry, but most of all we want to be a meaningful part of shaping the next chapter in the history of Calgary.

EFFECTIVENESS As was the case with pretty much all or­ ganizations during the pandemic, our ac­ tivities and our rhythm was significantly

CCA PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

disrupted however this allowed us to really take a detailed look at our priorities, our cost structure, and where we could really impact the membership.

One thing we did not do was stop. We had already made significant changes to the way we operated, and these allowed us to adapt and continue under the new reality without significant impact on the bottom line.

As a result, we have stabilized financially while also investing in much needed up­ grades to our building, which celebrates its

40th anniversary this year, in order to add more tenants and make it a real resource for our members. There will be more to follow as we look to realize our dream of a new Member Centre later in 2022.

BUSINESS HUB Contrary to our legacy reputation as an Association of larger companies, over 80 per cent of our members are medium to small businesses, most with 10 or less people in the office. With this in mind, we introduced

the Business Hub in 2019. Now that we are past the disruption of COVID and the need to focus on that challenge, this service will be growing and expanding to include more of the key knowledge and resources that business owners need in order to better conduct construction business in 2022 and beyond.

Now that we can get back at it, the Busi­ ness Hub will be expanding our partner­ ships to continue to include key areas such as HR as well as adding IT, marketing/social media, strategy, legal, and many others.

We will also be piloting a stream purely for owners and senior leadership in order to facilitate the types of information and knowledge that they require. One aspect that we have been asked to consider is the establishment of peer-to-peer groups and we hope to develop that over the balance of 2022.

There will be a new Legal Hub of contract knowledge introduced under the Business Hub thanks to the partnership of a num­ ber of key Calgary law firms. This will be comprised of both printed materials and education sessions designed to assist you in helping your teams better understand the key aspects of construction contracts, from estimating all the way to closeout and col­ lections.

EVENTS Of course, we are starting our in-person events calendar again and have enjoyed see­ ing everyone face to face after such a long absence. In addition to our more familiar events, we are also continuing with some of the things that we learned during COVID. The sense of community that we felt as smaller groups gathered online made us realize that we had been missing something for years – namely the fact that with 80 per cent of our members are mid- or smallsized businesses, they were not always able to attend our traditional large all-day events that took them away from their business for too long.

As a result, we have taken CCA Con­ nect from virtual to the real world and have continued our late afternoon/early evening events such as “Meet the GC” and “Con­

CCA CHAIR FEATURE

MAKING INDUSTRY BETTER Todd Poulsen, CCA Chair, President of Elan Construction As the president of Elan Construction Lim­ ited, a company founded by his family in 1978, Todd Poulsen has been involved with the construction industry since he was a teenager.

Working for the family construction business each summer until he graduated from high school, Poulsen took time out to explore and ‘wander aimlessly as people often do after they graduate.’ He found his way back into construction earning his di­ ploma in Civil Engineering Technology from SAIT.

With a desire to get out in the world and build some professional experience on his own, he worked for a pipeline contractor for several years before eventually rejoining the team at Elan Construction in 1990.

In keeping with Elan’s approach to busi­ ness, Poulsen believes in being active and supportive in the community that helped build him up. “Good businesses partici­ pate in making their industry better,” says Poulsen. “Elan Construction has been de­ livering projects in Western Canada since 1978, so we contribute in a positive way to

help improve the greater construction com­ munity and create new opportunities.”

On the CCA board since 2009, Poulsen is active on the CCA Executive Board and served as the chair of the Education Fund from 2010 to 2020. He also served a term as president of the Calgary General Con­ tractors Association and is on the Advisory Board for the Construction Project Man­ agement Program at SAIT. As Poulsen worked at Elan over the years in the capacity of project coordinator, esti­ mator, project manager, and then on to the

This simple but effective perspective ab­ solutely sums up the way we view our rela­ tionship with our members.

ADVOCACY Advocacy is about more than just having influence with other authorities on matters that align with your interests. It is not just about long conversations, picking fights, and writing protest letters, and it takes more than a great network and contact list.

Advocacy is about delivering results and outcomes through earned influence around important issues on behalf of others that would not have happened without your in­ volvement.

• It is about knowing and understanding the audience on all sides of the matter.

• It is about acknowledging when things are done right so that others do not only see you as a critic. Balance criticism with rec­ ognition to build credibility.

• It is about showing respect to earn respect through the development of meaningful relationships so that the appropriate enti­ ties will engage with you. Some may be the decision maker; others may be the coach

or the subject matter expert - All are need­ ed if you want to get things done.

• It is about continually learning and adapt­ ing through these relationships so you can present the most intelligent, balanced, and informed position possible.

• It is about ensuring that you engage with parties from a perspective of seeking to understand their position. Then with that understanding work further with them to educate them as to your perspective. The pursuit of the common ground provides the best foundation for progress towards a

solution that is balanced and good for all – often even better than the direction it was headed before you got involved.

• It is about challenging and being willing to be challenged back.

• It is about standing up and defending oth­ ers when a voice and legitimate pushback are required.

October 18, 2021 was a very important day for Calgary with the election of a new mayor along with a new, and very different, city council. Calgary faces incredible chal­ lenges and inspiring opportunities in the years ahead and CCA will be there to coauthor the next chapter in Calgary’s history on behalf of our industry and our members.

As Calgary stands at the threshold of our next chapter with a new mayor and city council in place, the prospect of a ma­ jor downtown strategy including an Events Centre, Arts Commons, and Green Line LRT, combined with aspirations of econom­ ic diversification and a long-awaited postpandemic recovery, we at CCA could not be more inspired.

While there are many challenges within this diverse list, there are even more oppor­ tunities and, with such a broad range of is­ sues to contend with, there is no doubt that we will have our hands full.

We believe that our industry and our members need to have a greater voice in the

This year is shaping up to be a year full of in-person events! March 2 marked our first in-person event of 2022, the long-awaited sold out CCA Connect Networking Series hosted at TradeSpace. We welcomed over 100 smiling faces for an evening of min­ gling. CCA Connect is a casual evening event co-hosted by the Calgary Construc­ tion Association and our members for our members. We are excited to be hosting the CCA Connect Networking Series through­ out the year at different member venues, such as FalkBuilt.

The virtual version of Meet the GC was launched in 2020. CCA was excited to fi­ nally be able to turn this virtual event into an in-person Meet the GC. The first one was hosted at Haworth on March 16, which also sold out in record time! Meet the GC is a dedicated event to support meaningful connections between our general contrac­ tor members and our trade contractors, manufacturer & suppliers, and industry service providers. This series is focused on networking and connections of value for all parties that attend. This series will also be ongoing throughout the year.

We look forward to seeing you at up­ coming 2022 events! If there are any events that you think CCA should con­ sider hosting, we would love to hear from you. Please reach out to Lena Hogarth at lenahogarth@cgyca.com. n

Investing in the construction industry • BSc. Construction Project Management in the School of Construction (year two) •A pprenticeship Award (year three) The CCA Education Fund is funded largely from the annual golf tournament held at the Carnmoney Golf & Country Club each August. Last year the golf tour­ nament hit a new record, raising a total of $82,729, all through the generosity of CCA members in an effort to further advance scholarship opportunities for the Fund.

By providing scholarships to those seek­ ing careers in Calgary’s institutional, com­ mercial, and industrial construction indus­ try, the CCA is investing in the advance­ ment of the construction industry, support­ ing those entering the trades, and helping to promote construction as a career of choice.

By Melanie Franner productivity, and employee safety into this new post-pandemic era?

TURNING POINT According to Statistics Canada, almost 25 per cent of employees were working ex­ clusively from home in January 2022. This compares to 7.5 per cent in 2016.

A Cushman & Wakefield paper entitled Workplace Ecosystems of the Future shows that in 2020, 67 per cent of Canadian em­ ployees expected increased remote work in the future. This compares to 72 per cent of Americans.

“The impact of the pandemic has created new ways of thinking,” says Richelle Black, National Strategic Accounts, Senior Work­ place Consultant, Haworth. “The work world has changed and we’re now rethink­ ing how we engage and interact with each other and how we use our workspace.”

Black cites three overriding factors that are shaping this current shift: • The way in which people gain access to other people and information.

• Work behaviours that focus not so much

Employers need to look at the type of work being done in those spaces and how to de­ liver the tools that best support that work.”

Orr believes that people will always grav­ itate toward a central workplace. “Technol­ ogy has added another layer of flexibility, but I think people still want to get back to the workplace,” she says. “We’re built to in­ teract. How do you mentor people? How do you teach people to learn by example? We still need and crave that human interaction.”

DOABLE DESIGNS According to a recent CBRE 2020 report, Perspective on The Future of Furniture, the post-pandemic office will feature changes in the geometry of the open office to cre­ ate fewer linear aisles and reduce foot traffic within clusters of workstations. The report describes the workstations of old as ‘teth­ ered to the past’ and having primarily been designed with minimal separation, privacy, and flexibility for high-density office envi­ ronments.

You’ve got a job to do.

We’re ready to help.

Instead, the report states that future of­ fices will express “a preference for furniture that supports more than just one purpose – addressing different work styles and meet­ ing demand for more resiliency, longevity and usability.”

There is no question that the workspace has changed – in design, flexibility, and versatility. “I think that organizations will use the office as a central hub to connect people,” says Black, suggesting that em­ ployers may change the interior layout to

provide larger collaboration spaces so that employees feel safe while interacting with other people. “Employers may also offer ‘touchdown’ spaces for independent work and even privacy spaces for virtual calls that tend to be loud.”

NEW METRICS Workplaces must now serve multiple roles within their organizations, each pro­ viding diverse options for spaces that meet each of their unique work requirements.

Focused on human behaviours, the new space composition should support in-office and remote workers and provide access to the right tools. “Technology has been lev­ eraged to the point where employers now know that they don’t need people sitting in designated workstations to do their work,” says Orr. Now, having been given choice and con­ trol over how and where they work, employ­ ees will not be so quick to give up flexibility.

“As people return, they want to return to a

better work experience,” says Orr. “Employ­ ers will need to be more accommodating to their employees, designing spaces that give people more control and flexibility in the workplace. I think the workplace has been changed forever. Now it will be up to em­ ployers to make the workplace more com­ pelling and inspiring for their people – a place to be reenergized.”

Some companies are looking to the hos­ pitality industry to find ways to entice em­ ployees back into the office. “Employers are setting up cool cafes or other attractions as a way to make the office more exciting,” says Black, who agrees that employees will need to be given more flexibility. “Compa­ nies need to determine how to get the right space to support people who have different perspectives,” she says. “They need to re­ think technology to let people connect re­ motely. It’s also about the workspace itself, allowing people the freedom of choice to select the best type of workspace for them.”

MINDFUL DESIGNS As employers begin transitioning their people back into the office, they need to keep in mind that employee expectations have changed. Employers should consider investments in space and updated designs that better reflect the current needs of its workforce. For some, it will mean tweaking the old. For others, it may mean a complete overhaul.

“I think a lot of companies in Calgary are really rethinking what their spaces will look like – what their people need and how best to support those needs,” says Black.

According to Orr, employers need to earn the commute and make the workplace a destination worthy of the travel time.

“We have an opportunity to help com­ panies return to the office, to building and designing spaces that support not only the

BUYING BETTER, BEING BETTER The value of social procurement and how to achieve it

By Jim Timlick Sarah Aspinall, BGSD Consulting.

Social procurement is becoming an increas­ ingly important part of doing business as more and more companies, community or­ ganizations, and governments try to figure out how to buy better and be better at the same time.

At its core, social procurement is about le­ veraging existing purchasing to not only get the products and services a business, gov­ ernment department, or organization needs, but to also drive positive change in the com­ munities it serves.

One Calgary-based expert says that while virtually everyone agrees it’s a noble endeav­ our, many businesses and governments are often left wondering where to start when it comes to creating and implementing a social procurement policy.

“The ‘how’ is the hard part, especially in governments because of all the applicable laws, regulations, and trade agreements,” says Sarah Aspinall, founder and principal of BGSD Consulting. There are a variety of things you have to navigate, including cre­

ating a shift within organizations towards a more social value culture.”

Social procurement is a concept Aspi­ nall has more than a passing familiarity with. She worked for the City of Calgary for seven years and helped the city develop its own social or benefit-driven procurement program. She formed her own consulting company last year to help other companies and organizations develop their own social procurement policies and programs. BGSD provides social and sustainable procure­ ment advisory services to both government and private businesses and is in the early stages of developing tools to support imple­ mentation.

Aspinall says the first thing she tells cli­ ents who are looking to set social procure­ ment policy is to come up with an overarch­ ing plan. That includes determining what their overall strategic goals and objectives are, the actions and changes that will be re­ quired to achieve them, and how they will monitor and measure results. She also em­

phasizes the need for resources and resilien­ cy to develop such a plan and see it through to implementation.

“It’s really about understanding that this isn’t something that’s done quickly. You need to plan, you need to resource it, and you need to know that you’re going to be on this journey to implement it for quite some time because it’s a change in behaviour and cul­ ture that’s been in place for years,” she says, adding larger organizations usually need to take a multi-year approach.

Such a plan should include a thorough examination of a company or organiza­ tion’s supply chain and who it’s comprised of, especially if supply chain diversity is a key objective. Many of Aspinall’s clients are surprised to learn how diverse their supply chains already are. The next step, she says, is to figure out how much business is being done with those groups and then determine “what can I do differently to reduce any further barriers within the current supply chain.”

Another critical piece of the puzzle, Aspi­ nall explains, is engaging with both internal and external stakeholders. That’s especially true in cases where a company or organiza­ tion’s goal is to achieve a specific social out­ come, such as increasing economic oppor­ tunities for select groups.

“It’s like they say, you don’t know what you don’t know,” she says. “Until you actu­ ally engage in a conversation, you’re not go­ ing to understand the barriers or challenges people face or the opportunities that are available to you.”

Regardless of what an organization’s so­ cial procurement objectives might be, Aspi­ nall points out that it’s critical to determine how to effectively measure whether or not they have been achieved.

“All of these kinds of programs take time, they take resources, they take investment so you want to know if you made a difference.

You want to know if somebody is better off at the end of it,” she says.

Aspinall suggests that companies and governments take some small steps initially when it comes to determining what works or doesn’t work with their social procure­ ment policies. For example, Calgary’s mu­ nicipal government ran a series of pilot proj­ ects to determine which strategies created social benefits.

“Pilot projects help you to find out about

Aspinall has also worked closely with the Calgary Construction Association (CCA) on several occasions. The CCA was one of several industry partners she worked with to CALGARY design and develop social procurements on 4049 - 11S.E. Street, SE 4049 - 11 Street behalf of the City of Calgary.

A FUTURE IN TECH: CALGARY REDEFINES ITS IDENTITY

By Melanie Franner

Platform Pitch Stage.

Calgary Construction Association

Platform Innovation Centre Cafe.

Much like the physical building in which it resides, Platform Calgary embodies the spirit of possibility. This spring, Platform Calgary will open the doors to its new home, the Platform Innovation Centre – a leadingedge innovation hub poised to provide a single point of access to the community and resources needed to help tech startups suc­ cessfully start and grow their business.

“We’re in soft mode launch right now,” explains Terry Rock, CEO at Platform Calgary. “In 2021, we served over 900 tech companies and founders through the robust programs we currently offer online.”

That number is expected to grow expo­ nentially in the weeks and months ahead as the Platform Innovation Centre opens to the public. “In partnership with more than 70 organizations, our goal is to triple the tech sector in Calgary over the next 10 years,” says Rock.

This achievement would produce 3,000 core tech startups by 2031 and, in turn, cre­ ate tens of thousands of jobs. It would also add $10 billion to the city’s GDP.

ROOTED IN COLLABORATION Calgary Municipal Land Corporation (CMLC) led in the delivery of the 250,000 square foot Platform Innovation Centre & Parkade, which transformed a logistically challenging site in the East Village into a mixed-use building design that allows for the future conversion of its space.

The business development plan put forth

by Platform Calgary was not for the faint hearted. Adapting the building to perform as a flexible innovation hub serving a grow­ ing community with a variety of use cases required a complex construction design,

which was then complicated by the COV­ ID-19 pandemic.

The forward-thinking Platform Innova­ tion Centre relied upon several partner­ ships, not the least of which are the build­ ing project partners themselves: Calgary Parking Authority; CMLC; EllisDon; M3 Development Management; RNDSQR; and 5468796 Architecture Inc. As it stands, the iconic building offers 50,000 square feet of innovation space over two storeys housing the Platform Innova­ tion Centre, in addition to five stories of parking. According to the project’s design architects Kasian and 548796 Architecture,

the parkade incorporates unique consider­ ations (such as increasing the floor heights by one and a half times and the addition of a central atrium that invites natural light through the full height of the building) that allow for the future conversion of the parkade into commercial and/or residential space. This future-focused building is the first of its kind in North America.

The building also features a basketball court and other ground-level amenities to encourage the neighbourhood to use the space as more than just a parking garage.

The project design had to consider sev­ eral site challenges, such as the CP Rail cor­ ridor to the south, an LRT transit tunnel and water main (both of which bisected the site), and a utility right-of-way corridor. “It was a challenging project to build, and the pandemic added a degree of complexity to everything” says Rock. “With the expertise these partners brought to the table, we were able to make a significant landmark addi­ tion to the East Village neighbourhood and to Calgary.”

connected mentorship to help them ideate, launch, and scale their startup.

Poised to offer a “one-stop-shop” for tech startups at all stages and sizes, the Platform Innovation Centre will be the new home of Platform Calgary offering innovators, espe­ cially those in the early stages of a great idea or business, the space to catalyze, collide, and connect. And its breadth of partners only continues to grow.

“We now have more than 70 tech and in­ novation partners under one roof that all

share the same goal of supporting entre­ preneurs in the tech sector,” says Rock, who believes that the number could soon reach 100. “All of them believe that this is what Calgary needs right now.”

Services provided by Platform Calgary in the Innovation Centre will be varied and ro­ bust. The facility will offer: • Access to classes, seminars, workshops, and programs for entrepreneurs and in­ dustry professionals.

• Access to businesses, top talent, and exper­ tise from across Canada and beyond for industry meetups, pitch nights, keynotes, and collisions between entrepreneurs, in­ vestors, and founders.

• Pitch stage and event-based community space for 450+ people (80 people for pitch stage only) equipped with display screens, built-in sound system, lights, and stream­ ing cameras to provide a fully immersed digital-first experience and the ability to pivot to in-person events.

• 50,000 square feet of gathering, meeting, and working spaces, as well as classroom space for startups, innovators, and entre­ preneurs.

• Spaces and resources for prototyping and testing new technologies.

“People building innovation-driven start­ ups need a whole suite of tools,” says Rock.

“Our approach is to provide them with what they need within 15 minutes of walking through the door.”

INHERENT FLEXIBILITY Flexible in its offerings and resources, Platform Calgary is also proving to be adaptable in its physical environment. The pandemic has redefined workspaces in ways that have yet to be revealed. But there is little doubt that the Platform Innovation Centre has been deliberately designed to meet these changing demands.

“I think there is a lot of uncertainty about how people want to gather,” says Rock. “The attitudes and approaches to workspaces have changed. I feel like we’re building a high-performing community. There’s going to be a learning curve, but we have the tech­ nology and flexibility to adapt as we need.”

Looking back on the last few years, Rock sees a marked increase in the volume of ac­ tivity being generated by Calgary’s tech sec­ tor. The sector is not only alive and well, it’s thriving.

And now, with the extensive support and expertise provided by Platform Calgary, the city’s tech sector can only get stronger. As with the very building itself, the Platform Innovation Centre is a departure from the norm and will be a catalyst for the future.

“When entrepreneurs and tech inno­ vators walk through the door of the Plat­ form Innovation Centre,” says Rock, “they will have access to everything they need to achieve success and strengthen the econo­ my for all Calgarians.” n

CELEBRATING 70 YEARS! Over one hundred years ago, Charles Darwin noted something exceptional about human beings in scientific literature: our sense of direction. Believe it or not, our sense of direction sets us apart from other mammals and comes from our ability to sift through fine-grain environmental details to create an imaginary frame of reference in the spaces we inhabit. A lot of this has to do with our incredible sensory tools like sight, smell, hearing and so forth. However, it is the human capacity to imagine and remember that helps us find our way.

An interesting component of the human sense of direction is our need to create wayfinding solutions to redirect ourselves and other humans back to points of interest, whether it be places to find food, water, shelter, or some other necessities. Human beings have always created systems of symbols and markers to remind ourselves where things are, and this art has evolved into the practice of wayfinding over time. The reality is that wayfinding is one of the most basic tools that sets human beings apart. We have always shaped our environment in imaginative ways to jog memories and signify to others where they are going. We have just gotten better, and better, at it with time.

No longer is wayfinding only about our sense of direction, but now it has grown to include the creation of experiences within that movement. Through proper signage and architectural design, we can develop human emotions in certain spaces and these emotions are more likely to lead to the creation of memories.

Behrends was founded in 1952 and is proudly owned and operated out of Edmonton, Alberta. Behrends began by specializing in designing and manufacturing cast bronze, aluminum, brass plaques, and signage. We’ve directed our skills and abilities toward a diverse variety of products. Over the past 70 years Behrends has grown to be a proven leader in the Sign Industry in Western Canada creating hundreds of donor and recognition walls and monuments, interpretive displays, custom

signage, art pieces, wayfinding systems, and entry features and other diverse items spanning a wide gamut of forms and functions.

Behrends consists of two locations – the Head Office & Manufacturing Plant in Edmonton, and a Sales Office in Calgary, Alberta. We’re a medium sized company, but large enough to meet the high quantity and high consistency demands of our larger clients, and small enough to build personal relationships with all those we serve.

Our design department consists of 3 full-time designers with over 40 years of combined design experience. The expertise of these long-standing employees, alongside our dedication to keeping abreast of industry-relevant technological advances, are the reasons we can take on complicated and demanding projects confidently and turn out great results.

Through our 70-year history Behrends has been involved in many different projects in Alberta. Behrends has always approached projects with a consistent design philosophy, accurately applying brand strategies and experiential graphic design/visual information systems to effectively connect people to a place while paying close attention to how the form, materials and methods affect value, and no less importantly, the budget.

Behrends approaches every project solution by first understanding three basic variables: 1. The appropriate interpretation of the project’s brand vision and strategy 2. The correct translation and understanding of the intended use of the site over time 3. Supporting a positive user experience through the architecture of visual information

PROJECT PROFILE Exterior and Interior Signage for THE DISTRICT

Developer: JLL Contractor: CANA Group of Companies Sub-Contractor: Behrends Participating in this notable development in Downtown Calgary was an absolute honor for Behrends. Working with CANA construction on all the sign elements at The District for their client (JLL) was a great experience for our team. The District at Beltline is a new kind of redevelopment that redefines work, eat and play experiences. The transformation is now complete, and they are welcoming new tenants, nearby residents, and visitors alike to be part of the unexpected.

At The District, you will notice there are three office towers centered by the Food Hall and the Market Shed. As you approach either tower entrance you will be greeted by a Pylon Sign. These are stationed in front of Building A, B, and C and their main purpose is to help visitors guide their way to their intended destination – whether you are looking for a bite to eat or are needing to visit one of the many companies within The District

Towers. The Pylons feature a large letter which is Faux Neon (LED) and lit push-thru white acrylic letters on the side.

As you enter The District you will notice the signage inside to help navigate you around the building – connecting person and place. There are various vinyl graphics, and door signage. If you are there to visit the amazing food hall you will notice all the vendor blade signs and laneway signs directing you to your favourite restaurant or cuisine.

We felt it was important to share with you our work at The District as it is a true representation of our 70 years in business.

Remembering that we started off as a foundry-based sign company (in which we still produce many casting across North America) to now completing large signage projects such as The District and many more across Canada that entail many different signage elements that are not only for interaction but are designed to enhance the user experience.

When you visit The District, you may notice lit tenant exterior signage (Google, Alberta Central, Celero, and KAMA) that Behrends was also a part of producing.

Still, she admits the first half year in her new role has been something of a whirl­ wind. Dealing with the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has been a huge challenge.

That means doing what we can in terms of investing in proj­ ects and keeping them moving forward like the Green Line and the many conversion

Despite some of the challenges she’s faced as mayor, Gondek said it hasn’t changed her style of leadership.

It’s about keeping an open mind and always being optimistic about what the future holds for us.”

Creating better cities has been a driv­ ing force for Gondek for much of her adult life. She ran her own consulting practice

each other to really do city building right.”

Gondek symbolizes the changing face of Calgary. Born in the U.K. to Punjabi parents from India, she emigrated with her family at the age of four to Canada where she settled in Manitoba. After graduating from uni­ versity, she met her husband Todd and the couple moved to Wainwright, Alberta for a short time before settling in Calgary where they have been ever since.

Gondek said she is optimistic about Cal­ gary’s future and its construction sector.

Recent data compiled by the city appear to back up her positive outlook. The total value of construction in the city in 2021 was valued at $5.7 billion, an increase of 68 per cent compared to the $3.4 billion reported in 2020. In addition, 21,055 building permit applications were recorded last year, which was up from the 18,181 received in 2020.

Those numbers would appear to indicate that Calgary’s construction industry is on the rebound from the initial impacts of the pandemic, which hardly comes a surprise to Gondek.

“I would say Calgary is a city that believes in itself. We have demonstrated that by in­ vesting a quarter of a billion dollars in our downtown revitalization strategy. We are a city that has implemented certainty and predictability for the construction sector for how we grow and that’s the kind of place people should be interested in locating their business as well as their home. Calgary is the place to be.” n

WE BUILT THIS CITY

The Calgary Saddledome.

CCA members celebrating milestones

By Melanie Franner Pushing the boundaries of architectural de­ sign through the use of cutting-edge tech­ nology is par for the course for the City of Calgary. The existence of the city’s landmark buildings attests to this very fact. But who are the companies that have contributed to this unique urban landscape? Who are the companies that helped drive innovation, helped establish its forward-thinking repu­ tation, and helped develop the very founda­ tions on which to build?

The answer lies in the very heart of Cal­ gary itself, and it includes a growing list of multi-generational companies that have demonstrated both perseverance and adapt­

80

ability in the face of change. Their success lies with their people, their leadership, and their expertise.

A DOOR OF OPPORTUNITY – SPALDING HARDWARE SYSTEMS INC. CELEBRATES 70 YEARS AND COUNTING What began as an adjunct to a thriving lumber business has grown into a highly successful, fully integrated commercial door, hardware, and access control supply and installation business, with fabrication facilities in Calgary and Edmonton.

David Spalding can be considered the “genesis” of Spalding Hardware Systems Inc. He was hired back in 1952 to focus solely on

supplying general hardware to the carpen­ ters and contractors who would frequent the Calgary lumber store.

The company would change ownership in 1978 when two employees stepped up to purchase the operation. By this time, the market had already become more spe­ cialized, with a growing need for hardware specific to doors and frames used in com­ mercial construction.

“At that time, the company decided to open a new division for door and frame hardware only,” says John Manes, Chair­ man, Spalding Hardware.

Manes and Ed Toy purchased the compa­

ny a few years later in 1994. They were both long-time employees and, as such, were able to transition ownership smoothly. Still, the two were quick to put their own mark on the business.

EXPANDING THE TOOL BOX “By the time we took things over, the gen­ eral hardware market had started to drop off, so we evolved that area of the business into an after-market division for service and maintenance,” says Manes.

The growing demand for a one-stop shop also influenced the direction of the compa­ ny’s evolution, resulting in the development of a new division for access controls.

“The fastest growing part of our business currently is access control,” says Manes, adding that this division is also the one with the most growth potential.

Today, Spalding operates three distinct divisions: aftermarket service and mainte­ nance; door and frame hardware; and ac­ cess control systems. Its end-to-end services extend from builder specifications to com­ mercial door installation and maintenance.

The fact that the company can now install and service everything it sells has also prov­ en to be a huge advantage in the market.

As the company evolved, so too did its customer base. With the addition of spe­ cialized hardware and aftermarket services, the company has broadened its audience to include architects and designers, along with general contractors and building owners.

Among its client list are schools, hospitals, and municipalities.

“We’ve tripled the size of the business since we took over,” says Manes. “We have a

fully trained team of door, frame, hardware, and access control experts who are very knowledgeable.”

Manes goes out of his way to credit the employees. “We’d be dead in the water with­ out them,” he says. “We respect one another.

That’s our true north.”

THE NEXT STEP In 2019, the ownership of Spalding changed hands once again. The new lead­ ers of tomorrow are again from within. “All four of the new owners have been with the company for a minimum of 10 years,” says Manes, adding that he and Toy will contin­ ue to work alongside them for some time to come to ensure a smooth transition for staff and customers.

“I think the ownership transitions are key to our success,” says Manes. “We’ve lasted 70 years because we have grown and adapted to the market. Our employees know that they have opportunities open to them. This is what has made us viable over the years.”

Giving back to charities and associations is at the very core of Spalding. Manes himself has served on various industry associations and he is quick to credit employees who have contrib­ uted to charitable causes. “I’ve gotten back a lot more than I contributed over the years by volunteering my time with associations,” he says. “It’s something that we strongly encour­ age here.”

Integrity and respect are two other core components of Spalding, as is the drive to al­ ways add value and aspire towards excellence.

In 1927, Trotter & Morton began its journey as a plumbing and heating company with a pioneering spirit. We offer a unique integrated solution for our client—beginning with site preparation, advancing through all aspects of construction, and continuing after the build with ongoing maintenance.

We are here for the build and beyond.

ICONIC INSPIRATION Spalding has undertaken several note­ worthy projects over the years. The land­ mark Saddledome is certainly one that stands out for its notoriety and fame. Spald­ ing began work on the $99.7 million proj­ ect in 1981. The company was back onsite for the box seat renovations in 1994 and again in the flood recovery reconstruction in 2013.

Another iconic landmark building in the city of Calgary is the National Music Centre. Spalding was the museum’s door supplier and installer, managing the door, frame, hardware, and security component scope of the project. The company over­ came several unique challenges while work­ ing on the project, such as special hardware applications for support and function for the unusually thick doorways and sourcing period-matching door hardware.

The $1.3 billion South Health Campus project was another milestone project for Spalding. The company provided designassist service for the more than 3,000 archi­ tectural openings within the hospital. The company also managed the procurement and on-site coordination of all the required doors, frames, hardware, and security com­ ponents, and it continues to provide ongo­ ing maintenance.

The city’s downtown Eighth Avenue Place Twin Tower project also called upon Spald­ ing’s expertise. The company was hired to

develop the door, hardware, and door se­ curity specifications for the development.

Spalding also consulted on and supplied the hardware and door security components on over 100 floors of triple A tenant space and continues to provide ongoing maintenance.

REACHING NEW HEIGHTS – ARMOUR EQUIPMENT SALES & RENTALS LTD. TURNS 60 YEARS YOUNG Unbeknownst to many, Armour Equip­ ment Sales & Rentals Ltd. has quietly and steadfastly provided services across the city during the 60+ years since its inception.

The company was founded in 1961 by Leo Messier, who saw an opportunity to enter the scaffolding and shoring market. Larry Messier joined the company in 1965 and

his stepson, Charles Maygard, subsequently joined the fold and officially became presi­ dent in 2013.

“We have worked on almost every major building in Calgary at some capacity over our 60 years and have built well over 30,000 scaffolds during this time,” says Maygard.

“Our services have helped build and shape this great city in ways most people don’t see.”

Armour Equipment operated solely as a supplier of rental scaffolding and shoring until the 1980’s, when it added assembly and dismantle to its offerings. The move was followed by a shift into the commercial sec­ tor in the 1990’s. Its customer base includes general contractors, subtrades, developers, property management companies, institu­ tions, and even the film industry. The com­

pany has worked on the Calgary Stampede site for more than 30 years running.

Today, rentals and sales of equipment ac­ count for 30 per cent of sales, with design, assembly and dismantle representing the re­ maining 70 per cent.

Maygard credits the company’s ongo­ ing success, in large part, to its culture and core values. “The company has survived and thrived because of strong management, great customer relationships, and an emphasis on culture,” he says, adding that the importance of treating people well and creating a culture of family has been passed through multiple generations. “The founding building blocks of our company have become part of our DNA. It’s become embedded in who we are, it is fluid and instinctual.”

This respect for its people is reflected in the long tenure of its employees. As a result, Armour Equipment has become specialized in the more technically skilled applications.

“Our people are extremely knowledge­

able and experienced, so we have the skill­ set to deal with the more challenging and complex projects,” says Maygard. “Scaffold­ ing is a very intricate and specialized trade.

Our team is highly skilled in designing and building temporary and highly complex structures. Scaffolding is very much an art that requires talent, knowledge, and experi­ ence.”

HIDDEN ASSETS Maygard describes scaffolding as an overlooked service but an essential one.

“When people think of all the most beauti­ ful architecture and buildings of the world, they don’t always realize that scaffolding was essential to the construction,” he says.

“Think of Michelangelo laying on his back, supported by scaffolding while painting the Sistine Chapel.”

Armour Equipment has had its share of iconic projects over the years. Calgary’s New Central Library is one example. The company was involved from day one, help­

th

ing to provide access and site safety as the construction site was prepped, providing scaffolding over the CTrain light rail tracks, and providing support throughout the com­ plex curved interior.

Other marquee projects for the company include Calgary’s annual Beakerhead Fes­ tival, the Calgary Stampede, and the 1988 Olympics.

“We work with a variety of customers,” says Maygard, adding that the list includes general construction, subtrades, film and media, events and entertainment, indus­ trial, renovation, restoration, environmen­ tal, disaster recovery, and aviation. “We’ve worked for major film and movie produc­ tions in and around Calgary, in almost ev­ ery building in the city and on almost every major construction site in the city.”

THE VALUE OF LEADERSHIP Maygard prides himself on being some­ one who can carry on the values of the com­ pany that began in 1961. Albeit, there have been a lot of changes along the way. But the core that made Armour Equipment a suc­ cess back then remains just as strong today.

“My job is to ensure that the company continues to evolve with the integrity and legacy that has made it last 60 years, with­ out allowing room for complacency,” he says. “To me, the 60th anniversary is a time for renewal. It’s a time for investing in our people, in new technology, and in new op­ portunities.”

Part of what will continue to drive May­ gard is the excitement he feels about the future. “I have always said that in order for a multi-generational company to not just survive, the owner has to be experienced, engaged, educated and ultimately, excited about the future,” he concludes. “The future gives me great excitement. Every day, we get to give our people the opportunity to create something from nothing. We get to create art, to create a vision.” n

ules is vital to mitigate against labour pro­ ductivity impacts. While multi-page sched­ ules, with hundreds of task activity lines of the overall project duration lasting several months, might offer the benefit of meeting specified contractual commercial obliga­ tions, they do little to focus the attention of stakeholders on the project’s current state.

Three fundamental questions need to be addressed in the short term: ‘are the work fronts available?’; ‘are the materials avail­ able?’; and ‘are the people available to do the work?’.

Many enhancements to productivity can be realized by a change in big picture strategic thinking. Integrated Project Deliv­ ery Models (IPD) and Lean Construction Management principles are gaining global recognition and traction. The IPD model of­

fers a healthy team ‘emotional buy-in’ to the project vision at the outset. The interdepen­ dent team collaborative mindset, combined with work breakdown structure packages, is a significant leap forward in breaking down the task-driven silo approach.

Lean construction thinking has the ob­ jective of identifying and eliminating sourc­ es of waste, including a strong focus by the leadership and culture of the organization on continuous improvement. The benefits of Lean Project Delivery Systems (LPDS), as published by Remon Fayek Aziz & Sherif Mohamed Hafez in the Alexandria Engi­ neering Journal in April 2013, highlights the critical thinking that sets in motion the interdependent functions and rules of deci­ sion making. The benefits of documenting lessons learned in waste reduction and en­ hanced productivity in the last planner sys­ tem cannot be emphasized enough.

A look at the robotic technology appli­ cation currently employed by Obayashi on the Mie Prefecture dam project in Japan might also yield some important lessons to be learned for large civil contractors. While current realized productivity gains of only 10 per cent have been recorded, the compa­ ny is hoping to push this windfall increase up to 30 per cent. The capital investment in robotic plant, and the associated training, will be a crucial step that larger contract­ ing firm entities will have to take in order to survive and adapt.

BUILDING THE GREEN LINE REQUIRES LOCAL EXPERTISE

By Darshpreet Bhatti, CEO Green Line

Proposed concepts for elevated and non-elevated stations.

The Green Line LRT is the largest infra­ structure project in our city’s history. It will play an important role in shaping the fu­ ture of Calgary as both a transit system and platform for long-term city building. Phase 1 of the Green Line runs from Shepard (126 Avenue S.E.) to Eau Claire connect­ ing communities from southeast Calgary to downtown and the broader transit net­ work.

At 18 kilometers, Phase 1 will be twice as long as any other stretch of LRT built in Calgary at one time and will include 13 sta­ tions, multiple LRT bridges, tunneled and elevated sections, and three Park-and-Ride lots. It will also include a 352,000-squarefoot maintenance and storage facility at Shepard for the new fleet of low-floor Light

the Request for Proposal stage, from the RFQ short-listed candidates. The develop­ ment partner will work collaboratively with the Green Line team on design progression providing flexibility to innovate, optimize, and manage cost, risk, and schedule.

The inclusion of the Development Phase is also expected to allow for additional long lead procurement items and work packages to be issued earlier which will further re­ duce project risks and continue support for the local construction industry.

We are looking at opportunities to en­ sure that local companies are able to offer their services on Green Line and are com­ mitted to facilitating industry involvement as we move through procurement. Green Line remains a project for Calgarians, built

by Calgarians.

The City and Green Line Board are committed and confident that we will be successful in delivering this transforma­ tional project. Like other world class cit­ ies, Calgary has and will continue to build challenging infrastructure projects by em­ bracing the local industry that has already served us so well. n

performance bonds to allocate risk ap­ propriately between owners and contrac­ tors. Owners often require that contrac­ tors provide a performance bond from a recognized surety as a condition to being awarded the construction contract. A per­ formance bond provides the owner with a mechanism to mitigate the costs and risk of the contractor defaulting under the con­ struction contract. If a contractor defaults on its obligations under the construction contract, and there is a performance bond, that bond entitles the owner to call on the surety to complete the contract.

experience with Carlson continues to be a truly memorable one.

“Carlson is headquartered in Edmonton with a branch office in Calgary. This allows us to readily serve all of Alberta. Despite being located in Alberta, Carlson has also completed projects throughout other areas across Canada to satisfy repeat client’s con­ struction requirements,” says Foster.

“We provide an exceptional service,” says Colville, “and we provide that service while being very transparent and professional at all times.”

Foster agrees, adding, “We consider our­ selves a boutique construction company that provides a concierge service. We provide personal value-added services in the way we think, operate, and build relationships.”

Both the president and the CEO also focus on being involved in the day-to-day operations with the team and clients, choos­ ing a collaborative approach that empowers clear communication and increased efficien­ cies.

“The relationships that we have with our clients, consultants, and subtrades are very important to us,” says Colville. “We are only successful if our clients are happy, so we make it our goal to exceed expectations.

We are able to do so thanks to an incredible team who support each other and place just as much importance on client satisfaction as we do.”

Carlson Construction’s projects include work in the commercial, light industrial, heavy industrial, institutional, tenant im­ provement, and multi-family sectors. The construction industry has experienced chal­ lenges due to the recent recession and the COVID pandemic. However, Carlson is pro­ active about adjusting to the changing mar­ ket conditions, and as the company contin­ ues to grow, it faces each challenge head on.

“Manpower, labour, supply chain issues, and COVID have thrown a wrench into everything, including worsening the ever present shortage of trades and workers,” says Colville. However, the partners remain optimistic and focus on the aspects of the business that they appreciate and value.

“Every day is a new day. It is very reward­ ing. We feel a sense of accomplishment and

are proud to see even the most complicated projects through,” says Colville. “We pro­ vide fantastic service for the communities in which we operate and with 95 years of service in the business, we are proud to play a role in building up the Western Canadi­ an landscape. People are always surprised to learn the company is 95 years old. We also find people are surprised to learn how many significant projects we have delivered around the province.”

Some of Carlson’s impressive projects in­

clude the Citadel Theatre, AMA Kingsway Office Building, Leduc Golf Clubhouse, the majority of the retail buildings in South Ed­ monton Common, and the 50th Street Busi­ ness Park Warehouse/ Office Buildings.

“We are excited about our current proj­ ect, the $40M redevelopment of the Royal Glenora Club,” says Foster. This interesting and challenging project allows us to show­ case the full range of our skills as we open, retrofit and reimagine the full potential of this facility.”

Another exciting project currently un­ derway is the addition of the indoor tennis facility at the Derrick Golf and Winter Club.

Carlson is proud to have been selected, through a competitive process, to be part of this phase of the Derrick Club’s redevelop­ ment.

Part of thriving, for Carlson Construc­ tion, is giving back to the community. “We listen to our employees and learn about what they would like to support,” says Colville. The company has recently raised significant funds for the Edmonton Food Bank and Santas Anonymous.

With a 95-year history, the list of people, partners, and clients Colville and Foster wish to thank is a very extensive one. “We thank them all!” they say. “The staff, trades, consultants, clients, industry partners – we wouldn’t be here today without them. We are only as good as the people we hire that work for us.”

With nearly a century of helping to build Alberta, what comes next for Carlson Con­ struction?

The culture at Carlson is one of entrepre­ neurship and accountability. As always, the team will be encouraged and supported to work with independence and to contrib­ ute to key decision making. The team is always empowered to make decisions that are essential to growth while maintaining a healthy lifestyle outside of work. Communi­ cation and engagement amongst the team is key as management feels it needs to be con­

fident enough to provide constructive feed­ back, just as the team needs to be open to receiving it, and utilizing it in effective ways.

“What will never change is our uncom­ promised quality of construction, service, and excellence,” says Foster. “Anytime there is a building or renovation by Carlson Con­ struction, the quality is always unsurpassed.

The Connector Lab is expanding on Bretzke’s work in the pipe trades. It will have an inter-disciplinary reach that in­ cludes all of SAIT’s pre-employment and technology students from architecture, en­ gineering, and construction, having a big positive impact for facility management in the owner-operator industry.

“We are opening up the space for indus­ try to bring forward their problems so we can explore solutions together,” says Rams­ den. It will be a welcoming hub to touch and try out digital technology for multiple applications. In addition to registered pro­ gramming and industry-driven events, the space will host exploration and experi­ ence sessions, and brain exchanges where industry people can come to share their ideas, their challenges, and their insights.

“By embedding digital technology in how we teach, we’re also embedding it in how we build,” says Ramsden. “We’ll be

building, they build faster and more accu­ rately, which translates into a safer work­ place and cost savings for companies.”

Industry faces two fundamental road­ blocks when navigating the digital trans­ formation. Digital equipment tends to be very expensive, and finding a crew that knows how to optimize its use can be a challenge. By embedding the technol­ ogy in the curriculum and apprenticeship training, SAIT is making sure its graduates have and can carry those skills and capa­ bilities into the workforce. By equipping the Connector Lab and opening it up to the community, it’s enabling access to ad­ vanced tech.

“Wherever you are in your journey, SAIT can help build your confidence, ca­ pacity, and capabilities,” says Ramsden.

Whether we are speaking to regulators, government, or the industry, our messages are always louder when there is more of us voicing them.

MULTIYEAR MAJOR RETROFIT PROGRAM ESSENTIAL The sixth Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change working group report re­ leased August 2021 makes for sober reading.

In the words of the Panel: “It is unequivocal that human influence has warmed the atmosphere, ocean and land. Widespread and rapid changes in the atmosphere, ocean, cryosphere and bio­ sphere have occurred.... Human-induced climate change is already affecting many weather and climate extremes in every re­ gion across the globe.”

Alberta is Canada’s largest emitter of greenhouse gases. Alberta residential and commercial buildings are among the high­ est GHG emitters per square metre of build­ ing area across Canada. In the last 10 years, extreme flooding, hail, and wildfires have destroyed numerous Alberta buildings with insured losses of $7 billion.

Sustained multiyear public and private investment is necessary to allow the develop­ ment of a construction workforce skilled in delivering high-performance building retro­ fits along with the supply chain to provide the necessary materials and technologies.

SOFIAC is offering a promising program of leveraging private and public funding to act as a super energy services company that al­ lows aggregation of small projects. SOFIAC is interested in expanding operations into Alberta, and ACA is advocating that govern­ ment incentivize SOFIAC as an additional funding source for Alberta projects.

GOLD SEAL CERTIFICATION – YOUR TOOL TO NURTURE YOUR TOP TALENT

By Chanel Roberts, Manager, Education and Gold Seal Certification Program, Canadian Construction Association

Lunch ’n’ Learns are helpful tools to get employees excited about Gold Seal. CCA organizes public information webinars and can also deliver one tailored to your company or group. Getting your project recognized as a Gold Seal project is also a great way to get all eligible jobsite staff certified, subtrades included, and gain visibility for your commitment to professional development.

GET THE BEST PEOPLE FOR THE JOB Including information on Gold Seal Certification in your website’s careers section and in job postings can benefit your company in many ways. Having a clearly defined and articulated way of growing talent and investing in professional development is a big perk for applicants and can help differentiate your company from the competition. By asking for the certification in job postings or by listing it as an asset, you can showcase your appreciation of professionalism and your sup­ port of professional development.

The Canadian Construction Association’s (CCA) Gold Seal Certifica­ tion program can help your company attract, grow, and retain top talent. Through competency assessments, professional development and continued mentorship, this professional certification program is focused on helping the industry achieve excellence through educa­ tion, training, and skills development.

USE COMPETENCY ASSESSMENTS TO NURTURE TALENT Many great foreman, estimators, project managers, safety practi­ tioners, or superintendents start in a different role and move up the chain over the years. It is important to have a formal framework to identify talent, discuss future opportunities, and chart a learning and mentoring path for progression.

Gold Seal’s competency assessments, which form the heart of its program, can help guide the growth of the skills of your workforce.

The assessments define the knowledge, skills, and abilities that con­ struction professionals working in Gold Seal designations should possess regardless of company field, size, or geography.

“One of the great things about competency assessments is that they can be used for much more than Gold Seal exam preparation,” says Alistair Robertson of Learning Forty-Two, an adult learning and development specialist who led the most recent update of Gold Seal designations and exams. “HR departments, managers, and employ­ ees can use them to help identify areas for ongoing skill development through relevant training or other learning opportunities. The com­ petencies themselves can even be used to help hire new and evaluate existing employees.”

Calgary Construction Association

PREVENT THE BRAIN DRAIN According to the job site Indeed, “no room to grow” is the top rea­ son why people leave their jobs. Knowing that your employer invests in their staff is a strong motivator.

Establishing a mentoring program where Gold Seal Certified staff members help those who are just starting on their process is a great idea. Some companies have appointed an admin, HR, or training contact to assist with applications.

CELEBRATING SUCCESS When your staff members receive their GSC, that’s cause for cel­ ebration! Some ways that employers can mark this occasion include framed certificate presentations and newsletter, website, or social media announcements. Some companies also proudly display their employees’ GSC certificates on a designated wall.

Learning does not stop at GSC. We have a growing number of Gold Seal Certified professionals with two or three GSCs in different designations as they have moved from one certifiable designation to another.

There is also our highest level of certification, the renewable Pro­ fessional, Gold Seal Certified (P.GSC) credential, whereby enrolled GSCs must demonstrate having worked in their designation for a minimum of 2,000 hours and earned 30 credits worth of updated ac­ tivities every two years.

SUPPORTING VALUE AND INNOVATION THROUGH FAIR AND TRANSPARENT PROCUREMENT With productivity and sustainability is­ sues on the rise, including net zero carbon targets and shortages in material and labour affecting profit margins, now is the time to modernize procurement practices. To build the infrastructure needed across the country and recruit the workforce of the future, federal procurement strategies need to adapt to encourage innovation, include contractors earlier in the process, account for long-term value and sustainability, pro­ mote the use of alternative delivery models, and support shared risk.

After an unscheduled switch made in re­ cord time back in 2020 thanks to an un­ precedented “all-hands-on-deck” effort, BuildWorks was able to continue to provide our members with access to opportunities by way of support in the pursuit of business.

Despite the many interruptions and distractions of COVID, BuildWorks has continued to move forward. We now have a stronger working relationship across Al­ berta with all eight partners and, while there are still some features being finalized, there is probably more alignment and atten­ tion on this valuable service now than there has been for some time. Particularly around what the future needs to be.

This renewed focus is all about maximiz­

ing the scope of this service for industry in its current and future form and we also have the benefit of some fresh eyes that will po­ tentially bring new perspectives and input for future enhancements.

All this is happening while, at the same time municipal, provincial, and federal pro­ curement groups are engaging in and ex­ ploring their own initiatives and upgrades to their platforms. This ever-shifting back­ drop presents yet another context that we must constantly monitor and track in order to understand and manage these changes as they often present new challenges and op­ portunities in our mission to remain inte­ grated with these platforms.

Our very heritage as Construction Asso­

ciations is steeped in the Builders Exchange and the Plans Room service. As a former user of the Plans Room in Calgary, when it was still actually a “room”, its importance is well understood and consequently its future is a priority for us all.
