CCA PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

2023 was the first year that was uninterrupted directly by the pandemic after two years of stop and start etc. In fact, by the early fall, it really felt like the majority of the COVID hangover was past us – Deerfoot was suddenly very busy again and we attended nothing but events until year end!

indeed been drinking from a firehose but, as you will learn in due course, this issue will not be solved from the side of your desk and only with someone dedicated to the study of it will we will be able to assist our industry members better navigate the issue in the short, mid and long term.

With some of these normal aspects of life being reintroduced to us we also saw a busier trend in the world of construction, and it was across the board of commercial and residential both at the same time. This meant that if 2021 & 2022 were the years of supply chain, then 2023 really became the year of workforce challenges. As we are all too aware it now dominates our conversations and is shaping up to be the challenge of our lifetime.

30 – 40 years of systematic focus by society and the education establishment on academics at the expense of skilled trades has finally come home to roost. We are now facing unprecedented demand for housing with too small a workforce to deliver the numbers being quoted such as 5.8 million homes by 2030. Our commercial industry is dealing with the same challenge and if anything, it looks like it may get worse before it gets better.

As we are all too aware it now dominates our conversations and is shaping up to be the challenge of our lifetime.

As we witnessed this issue expand in scope, with many nonsense solutions being touted in media and elsewhere by politicians trying to avoid being blamed for the crisis, it became obvious that we needed to do something other than be just another opinionated spectator. In November 2023 we added Tammy Amstutz to the CCA team in the role of Director of Workforce Strategies. In Tammy’s short time on the team and with such a challenge to embrace, she has indeed been drinking from a firehose but, as you will learn in due course, this issue will not be solved from the side of your desk and only with someone dedicated to the study of it will we will be able to assist our industry members better navigate the issue in the short, mid and long term.

June was a big month for the CCA team as after several months of working in swing space we unveiled our new CCA Member Centre. After 42 years our space was tired, dysfunctional and rather unwelcoming and so we transformed it into a space that our members can freely use for meetings or just a drop in between appointments – even a coffee with a colleague. We are also hosting many of our events here and will be adding more so there will be plenty of chances to see the space for yourself. Either way, if you have not yet visited, please come and see us.

Our advocacy work continued under Frano Cavar and we established our voice well within local media – Radio, TV and Online. It has been so important for us to find your voice and make it resonate in Calgary and so we were able to secure 60+ articles, interviews and features on subjects that mattered to our members and, not surprisingly, mattered to Calgarians.

What was a real delight to witness after having lost the opportunity for so long, was the way in which our community came together at events such as meet the GC etc. We came out of an incredible Christmas Social at Atco at the end of 2022 and into our first meet the GC early in 2023 and there was no doubt that the CCA community was thriving and growing. Something had happened during 2023 and we were seeing ourselves for the first time. We saw this play out time and time again throughout 2023 as all the hard work of Adrian Nagel and Lena Hogarth in creating memorable customer experiences with the help of the whole team, went from success to success.

Our sponsors, attendees and partners made 2023 the most successful

year of events and community connection in our history – thank you all. 2023 also saw our membership grow year over year for the first time in many years. Once again this has been supported by Adrian Nagel and Gabby Morden making sure that our new members feel welcome, and our entire membership knows we are here for them every day. Whether it is an issue with setting up a profile, getting introduced to other members – even calling the city to go to bat on issues that are impeding your progress – we are here to do what we can.

I have shared with many over the last 5+ years that when I stepped into this role I was somewhat worried that, in contrast to being in the trenches of the day to day of industry itself, I may find this role boring or uninspiring. After all I was a bit of an adrenalin junkie after nearly 40 years in industry.

Now in the year of the CCA 80th anniversary and my own 43rd year in industry I can truly say I could not have been more wrong, and I am very glad to be able to say that. The last 5+ years has seen some of the most rewarding experiences I could ever have wished for. Not without challenges of course but it has been the progress and growth that has made it so worthwhile -

• Learning new skills from people half your age is a privilege denied to many – go find a young teacher you will be much better for it.

• Watching our team evolve into the best association team in Canada that delivers commitment and dedication to the member experience every day and then comes in the next morning and says – “how can we make that even better next time?”. Excellence is hard to find and to be a part of it is inspiring.

• Constantly meeting new and existing members and learning from them what they are going through so we can help them is providing the real inspirational reason I took on this role – to make our industry better at every level for every person that works in construction.

In a social media world full of people taking all the credit it needs to be said again and again, as I often do,

“Without people you are nothing!”

(Joe Strummer)

That could not be truer than it is in the CCA context. Our members and their amazing people, the work that they do every day building our city, the CCA Board who supports the strategies behind the work we do and the CCA Team that is our face to you every day are the ones that make this possible. The fact that I get to be a part of this is a true privilege and one that I will cherish for a very long time.

The real joy though is serving an industry that has been a part of my life as a 4th generation construction kid with my own children who have made it 5th generation. It may not be for the faint hearted, but it is a great way to earn a living. It teaches you so much along the way, introduces you to some of the best people you will ever meet and then we get to drive by the results of what we have done in building our great city over the years.

We at CCA get to be a part of something that is so much bigger than ourselves and we thank you for your ongoing support and engagement in making that possible. We cannot wait to celebrate our 80th year at our gala later this year with you all as we wish you a successful and rewarding 2024. u

CALGARY CONSTRUCTION ASSOCIATION

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES

As a membership based organization we exist with the sole purpose of serving our members and our industry to the best of our ability at all times.

Over the years we have done so through all the cycles and changes that have occurred in our market and we have all become stronger for the experience. Then came March 2020 and the world had to change its entire way of life overnight. Of course the CCA was no exception and the next two years provided an invaluable learning experience for us all as we sought to adapt and continue to support our CCA community through uncharted waters.

The lessons have not been wasted on us so, when in early 2022 we saw the end in sight, we felt the need to re-evaluate our role in this new and emerging postpandemic context. At the same time we also felt a strong voice pulling us away from the temptation to simply restart everything that we had been doing up until March 2020.

And so, in early March 2022, the board and CCA team convened for a full day in person strategy session so we could apply all that we had learned during the pandemic to our legacy as a 75+ year organization and begin to consider our role for the next 3 to 5 years and beyond. Maybe it was a post pandemic thing but this was not just any old typical strategic offsite session.

We wanted to approach the whole exercise a different way than in the past so we looked to a new place for inspiration. In his book “Know What You’re For” Jeff Henderson, a former marketing exec. at the Chick-fil-A organization, describes how they had to learn that, in order to truly help a franchise owner how to understand and grow their business, they needed to stand on the customers’ side of the counter and not the operators.

Not only was this a powerful analogy for us to reflect on as a customer service organization, but the two fundamental questions in the book -

”What Do You Want to be Known For?” And “What Are You Known For?”

- Felt like perfect lines of enquiry for such an undertaking.

We started with the first question and the answers that we arrived at were an important viewpoint to have at the outset of this session.

“WHAT ARE WE KNOWN FOR?”

AN ASSOCIATION OF LARGE ORGANIZATIONS - LARGELY GC’S

Considering the fact that 18 of our 30 directors are appointed from trade and professional associations this is an interesting perspective but, nevertheless, it has prevailed for many years and, as you will see on the next page “LARGE” are actually the minority!

ONLINE PLANS-ROOM SERVICE

An important and valued service that is based on our heritage as a Builders Exchange and fundamental way for our members to access opportunities.

LARGE EVENTS THAT I AM NOT ABLE TO ATTEND

Only 15-20%. Of our member companies have been regular attendees at most historic events.

MEMBERSHIP FEES THAT ARE DISCRETIONARY SPENDING

We moved from there to the second question

“WHAT DO WE WANT TO BE KNOWN FOR?”

The best way to summarize all the various conversations that arose out of this question was the simple fact that we want our members to feel that -

“I CANNOT AFFORD TO NOT BE A MEMBER OF CCA”

We do not say this lightly because we fully understand that for this to be true, we need to earn such a statement based on all that we do for our members. But what a call to action it is!

Then we engaged in a lengthy conversation around the question -

“WHO ARE OUR MEMBERS?”

Once again there were many aspects to the response and it is clear that our membership is diverse with -

Tra de Contractors Manufacturers/ Distributors/ Suppliers

Consultants and Service Providers

General Contractors + Builders -Overall 15% -4.5% med-large size

But by far the biggest takeaway was the fact that across all categoriesOVER 80% OF OUR MEMBERS HAVE 10 PEOPLE OR LESS IN THE OFFICE.

This is actually the profile of our industry and it is in fact the profile of all kinds of businesses across Canada. We have always been a small business association comprised primarily of owner/operator businesses as members. This was a key perspective in beginning to imagine the great opportunity that lay before us as we viewed CCA and our members through this lens.

Armed with this key information we finally moved to the members’ side of the counter and from that vantage point we asked ourselves…

“WHAT ARE OUR MEMBERS ASKING US FOR?”

5 main buckets emerged out of this consideration and, in no specific order, we arrived at -

TRAIN AND DEVELOP MY PEOPLE SEE AND BE PREPARED FOR THE FUTURE

While many of these may be familiar and are certainly representative of the work that we at CCA have always been engaged in, this unique journey during our offsite via the steps outlined previously, provided us with an added dimension along with a renewed sense of purpose related to our role in seeking to move forward with consistency and clarity as a stronger and more aligned partner with our members.

In a post pandemic world and after three years of unprecedented change many of us are looking at our lives and our priorities differently and here at CCA we have fully embraced this perspective.

The real work is already being done and we know that we have much more ahead of us. We hope that this 5 part perspective will align well with your needs and, as we report to you on how we are working on each of these in different ways throughout the year, you will see yourselves reflected more and more in all that we do as we strive to earn the ultimate privilege of being considered mission partners with you all in building our collective future in Calgary.

CCA CHAIR’S MESSAGE

THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY

Lois Innes Senior Vice-President, National Practice Leader – Surety BFL CANADA Risk and Insurance Services Inc.

As I reflect on my term as Chair, I am reminded of a comment made to me by a past chair, “You are the first non-industry person to have this role”. To say that comment caught me by surprise is an understatement, as I had never considered myself a “non-industry” person.

While I’m not on site doing the heavy lifting or scrutinizing post-bid analysis, I must admit that I’ve read more contract terms and conditions than I can remember. I’ve worked with private owners, corporate owners, cities, municipalities, and many of you who are currently reading this message.

In 1961, when Bud Watson was chair, he worked on developing contract framework for subtrades. It’s difficult to imagine an environment where subtrades operated without formal contracts in place. Fast forward to 2023, and we find ourselves grappling with Prompt Payment Legislation. Reflect on this for a moment, we need to implement legislation to ensure that people get paid on time. Years ago, I read this in a construction magazine: “Passing risk down to the party that is least capable of dealing with it, is not good risk manage-

ment, it’s crossing your fingers and hoping like hell that noth ing happens”. This industry, at times, can be its own worst enemy, exemplifying the challenges we face. This represents the “bad” side of the industry.

I’ve observed general contractors hoping that a trade dis pute resolves or fades away before escalating to court pro ceedings. This represents the “ugly” side of the industry.

I have tremendous respect for this industry, and I’ve seen firsthand how the Calgary Construction Association has built an environment that brings together a group of like-minded people. Individuals who want to be part of something better –to make this industry better – and to build a community. This represents the “good” side of the industry.

In closing, I am proud to have been the chair in 2023. Thank you to John Manes for tapping me on the shoulder for the role and for reminding me that good leadership requires compro mise. This is advice we can all benefit from.

It has been my privilege to serve as your chair this past year.

TURNING WORKFORCE CHALLENGES INTO OPPORTUNITIES

By Tammy Amstutz, Director of Workforce Strategies, Calgary Construction Association

The construction industry, across the globe and in our great city, stands at a pivotal moment, grappling with a pronounced labour shortage. This challenge is particularly acute in Calgary – a city celebrated for its dynamic growth, innovative spirit, and the ambitious scope of its construction projects. The current labour shortage, however, is not just an obstacle. This labour shortage is the opportunity of our generation, and it provides opportunity for

defining moments in our careers. For Calgary’s construction community, it’s a call to action—a chance to lead by example, demonstrating how adversity can catalyze industry-wide innovation, foster collaboration, and drive inclusivity. By seizing this moment, Calgary can both address its immediate workforce needs while laying the groundwork for the future of the construction industry as more resilient, efficient, and diverse.

COLLABORATIVE OPPORTUNITIES

In Calgary, the construction industry’s fabric is woven from a mix of sprawling residential developments, towering commercial projects, and intricate infrastructure expansions. The diversity in these ventures underline the critical need for enhanced collaboration at a time when the labour pool is shrinking. The labour shortage has pressed local firms to dismantle tradi-

tional silos, paving the way for partnerships that harness shared knowledge, resources, and ambitions. We have neither the time nor the resources to build multiple talent pools, and instead must focus on building the collective workforce of the future. Now is the time to balance the inherent competition of the industry with the urgent need to forge collaboration. Such collaborative efforts transcend labour needs, and instead set new benchmarks for efficiency and innovation. This movement towards unity echoes Calgary’s core ethos of community support and mutual growth. This collaborative mindset is vital for Calgary, ensuring that every project, regardless of its scale, contributes to the city’s reputation as a leader in construction innovation.

FOCUS ON CULTURE AND ENGAGEMENT

The culture of Calgary’s construction industry is a formidable asset, characterized by a profound sense of community, resilience, and pride. This unique culture is not only a reflection of the industry’s legacy in shaping the city’s skyline but also a key factor in attracting and retaining talent. Amidst the labour shortage, we can now amplify our focus on enhancing workplace culture, emphasizing recognition, work-life balance, and professional growth and advancement. And we can do this while providing access to rewarding work on world-class projects. The industry is full of broom-to-boardroom success stories, and we see countless examples of innovation and entrepreneurialism that contribute to the culture of the industry. Focusing on the new era of workplace culture in the construction industry underscores the impact on Calgary’s development and community well-being, while serving as a powerful motivator, fostering a deep sense of pride and loyalty among workers.

Engagement strategies in Calgary are becoming increasingly innovative, incorporating elements of recognition, mentorship, and community involvement. The celebration of project milestones not only acknowledges the hard work and dedication of the teams involved but also highlights the role of the construction industry in driving Calgary’s growth. We see this clearly

as we celebrate the completion of the BMO Centre expansion, with the Calgary Municipal Land Corporation sharing the completion statistics that include over two million construction hours from nearly 5,000 trades workers.

Calgary’s construction industry is leveraging its strong community presence to engage with the public, show-

casing the importance and impact of construction work on everyday life. These engagement efforts not only enhance the industry’s image but also attract new talent by showcasing construction as a rewarding and impactful career choice.

NEW OPPORTUNITIES IN EARLY EDUCATION

Calgary is uniquely positioned to address the educational gap that has historically limited early exposure to construction careers. By introducing construction concepts to younger students across Calgary’s multiple school boards, the industry can kindle an early interest in construction, laying the foundation for future career paths. This proactive approach to education is vital, as it broadens the potential talent pool by making construction an aspirational career choice from a young age.

The city’s rich educational ecosystem, which includes renowned institutions and innovative programs, provides a fertile ground for developing comprehensive construction education pathways. Initiatives that integrate construction-related learning into STEM curriculum can demystify the industry and highlight its role in solving real-world problems. Such educational outreach is crucial for cultivating a knowledgeable, skilled, and enthusiastic future workforce, ready to contribute to Calgary’s construction industry.

ENHANCING DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION

The construction industry in Calgary, and in all of Alberta, stand at the forefront of embracing diversity and inclusion, recognizing the wealth of perspectives, skills, and innovation that a diverse workforce brings. The city’s multicultural fabric offers a unique opportunity to attract talent from various

backgrounds, enriching the construction community with a broader range of experiences and ideas. At the peak of activity in 2023, we saw women representing 14 per cent of the construction industry. We have achieved these milestones by establishing clear pathways for underrepresented groups—including women, Indigenous peoples, and new Canadians. Calgary is addressing the labour needs while fostering an environment of creativity and innovation.

CONCLUSION

The labour shortage in the construction industry presents both a challenge and an opportunity for Calgary. By embracing collaboration, fostering a unified and skilled workforce, prioritizing culture and engagement, enhancing educational outreach, and championing diversity, Calgary’s construction community is poised to navigate this challenge with resilience and innovation. These collective efforts secure a prosperous future for the industry. As Calgary continues to evolve, the construction industry’s response to this pivotal chapter will leave an indelible mark on the city’s landscape, underscoring the importance of adaptability, community, and inclusivity. In facing this challenge head-on, we are building more than just structures; we are crafting a legacy of strength, diversity, and innovation for future generations. u

BMO CENTRE EXPANSION PREPARES TO WELCOME THE WORLD

After four years of dedicated construction efforts, Calgary Municipal Land Corporation (CMLC) and the Calgary Stampede proudly announced the substantial completion of the BMO Centre expansion on March 13, 2024. This milestone marked the project’s transition into its final stages of operational readiness, paving the way for its grand opening in June 2024 as Western Canada’s largest and newest convention venue.

Serving as the development manager for this transformative city-building project, CMLC proudly delivered the $500 million expansion on schedule and on budget.

“This is a major accomplishment for CMLC and our partners, and a huge step toward achieving our vision for a vibrant and active Culture + Entertainment District,” says Kate Thompson, CMLC’s President and CEO. “The ex-

panded BMO Centre is second to none in its design architecture and functionality, and it sets a new precedent for convention facilities.”

THE COMPLEX BUILDING WAS INTRICATELY CONSTRUCTED

The expansion’s architecture – designed by Stantec, Populous, and S2 – is influenced by Calgary’s natural surroundings and rich history, drawing inspiration from the sculpted riverbanks of the Bow and Elbow Rivers, the rolling foothills that transition into the Rocky Mountains, and the pioneering spirit of the Calgary Stampede. The building’s copper-coloured façade is textured and reflective to emulate the shine of a belt buckle, and it presents a modernist rendition of rustic barn boards commonly found in rural settings.

With over two million construction hours and contributions from nearly 5,000 tradespeople, including demolition crews, steelworkers, drywall installers, and electrical and mechanical teams, the BMO Centre expansion stands as a testament to collaborative effort and commitment to excellence. At its peak, the expansion saw close to 600 workers per day, six days a week, underscoring the efficiency and unwavering dedication throughout the construction process. Drywall installation on the project peaked at an impressive rate of 30,000 square-feet per day, resulting in a total of 2.4 million square feet of drywall utilized for the space. With more than 150 lifts on site at peak, 80 per cent of the work in the building took place at a height of at least 20 feet.

“Achieving this milestone would not have been possible without the dedication and expertise of our construction manager, PCL Construction, and project manager, M3 Project Management,” continued Thompson. “Our gratitude also extends to our world-class design

team of Stantec, Populous, and S2 for their visionary design of this architectural landmark. Our shared success in realizing this milestone is due to all our consultants’ and contractors’ unwavering commitment and pride of work over the past four years.”

The 565,000-square-foot structure was constructed with 10,000 metric tonnes of steel, the longest spanning

180 feet in length and 19 feet in depth— equivalent to the dimensions of an Olympic swimming pool—enabling the remarkable column-free grand ballroom. The extensive steel frame enables the building to withstand loads up to four times greater than those of a typical assembly-type building, allowing the convention centre the capability to accommodate various events.

Our clients want something better. Better solutions through collaboration fueled by ideas that apply value engineering and engage the latest building technologies. Better results that go beyond on-time, on-budget, and meeting requirements; those that enhance their building’s marketability. Better experience, risk management, and fiscal responsibility that provides peace of mind.

A PROUD PROJECT PARTNER

“The impact that the expanded BMO Centre will have on the Calgary Stampede and on Calgary’s tourism, convention, and hospitality sector cannot be overstated,” says Calgary Stampede CEO Joel Cowley.

Notably, the load allowance in the exhibition hall permits fully loaded semitrucks to enter and maneuver within the building.

More than doubling its rentable space to over 1M square feet, the BMO Centre’s expansion will elevate Calgary’s convention hosting status to the next level, allowing our city to compete head-to-head with top-tier convention destinations around the world.

“The impact that the expanded BMO Centre will have on the Calgary Stampede and on Calgary’s tourism, convention, and hospitality sector cannot be overstated,” says Calgary Stampede CEO Joel Cowley. “We have already seen great interest in the expanded BMO Centre and now have more than 100 incremental events booked through 2030.”

Cowley continued, “With the open-

In preparation for its operation as a one-million-plus-square-foot facility, the Calgary Stampede team is loading in furniture, dishes, cutlery, and catering equipment to the tune of 6,500 stacking chairs, 600 round banquet tables, 500 rectangular tables, 7,680 table forks and knives, and 6,200 dinner plates.

With the opening of the BMO Centre expansion, Calgary will now have a tier1 convention centre, which allows the city to compete for larger meetings and convention business. It also furthers Calgary’s position as a thriving and dynamic hub for trade and tourism, advancing the city’s economic resilience and status on the world’s stage.

Across the expansion and existing facilities, the BMO Centre will be able to host up to 33,000 guests at once. The expanded BMO Centre will host its first event – the Global Energy Show – in June 2024, an event proudly hosted at the Calgary Stampede for more than 50 years. u

VIEW FROM THE PAST CHAIRS: Perspectives in motion

By Melanie Franner

With this year marking the 80th anniversary of the Calgary Construction Association (CCA), it seems only fitting to take a look back – and forward – from the point of view of some of the individuals who helped make it what it is today. The role of CCA Chair is a powerful position linking the Board of Directors with the association executives and staff. The issues may have changed with the times but the underlying goal to meet the members’ needs has remained constant. And each of the following people was able to accomplish this by becoming a leader in his or her own right – and helping to shape CCA into becoming the formidable force it is today.

THE REIGN OF THE HANDSHAKE

Bud Watson served as Chair in 1961, back when the Association still oper-

ated under the name of the Calgary Builders Exchange. It wouldn’t be until a few years later that the current name came to be.

“At that time, the Association was very different from what it is now,” says Watson, who had a long career in the family’s mechanical contracting firm before retiring a few years ago. “The Association had just moved into a new office building at 5th Ave and 25th Street NW. The building was unusual because it was a unique, two-storey, circular design. The move was a big thing that year.”

The new offices allowed for meeting rooms, as well as a plan room – a huge development at the time – where contractors would come in and bid on projects. “Back then, business was very personal,” says Watson, who recalls the monthly member dinner meetings in

particular. “People communicated on a day-to-day basis. Individuals would come in and talk and we’d get together regularly for events. There were lots of opportunities for different sectors of the industry to get together and interact, which helped broaden your own perspective.”

One of the main issues back in 1961 was the development of the all-important bid depository system. “That was just the beginning,” says Watson. “Initially, it was just for mechanical and electrical subcontractors and was used primarily for government work.”

Another top priority at the time was the Association’s work on a standard subcontract form for contracts between the general contractor and subcontractors. The new document became official in 1961 – and still forms the basis of the one being used to this

day. “That was a key accomplishment for the industry,” says Watson, who adds that the Canadian Construction Association reviewed the Association’s standard subcontract form and adopted it for themselves shortly thereafter.

Although Watson laments the days when a handshake was more important than a signed contract, he remains impressed with what the industry – and

the CCA – have achieved over the years.

“The Calgary construction industry continues to be a business leader,” he says. “It is being run by good, sound business people who excel at being entrepreneurs. I am very proud of what the Association is today and for having been a part of it. We’re risk takers at heart and that pushes all of us to do better every day.”

RIDING THE ECONOMIC WAVE

Dean Slater was vice president of a large general contracting firm when he took on the role of CCA Chair in 2001. He describes the priorities of the day as being very similar to what they are now. “The challenges related primarily to dealing with the numerous economic boom and bust cycles, consistently procuring and successfully executing profitable quality work,” he says.

A change that was well underway at the time was the use of technology. “The days of the CCA plan room and bid depository system were diminishing, with the onset of computerized on-screen measurements, estimating, scheduling, and project management tools,” he says.

And technology has continued to advance in the years since. Slater says that his first job in the construction industry was checking mathematical equations to ensure there were no errors in the estimates. “Obviously, IT tools have had a huge impact on the industry,” he says. “These are fantastic tools that have made the job easier. Although the actual physical construction itself hasn’t changed, the method of communications, estimating and management tools has changed significantly.”

Slater also points to new shifts since his time as Chair including the environmental focus and seeing a more highly skilled and diverse industry workforce. “We now have LEED Certification and companies are using green technology to create more energy efficient buildings,” he says. “When I started my career, there were some, but not many women in management and superintendent roles. This, of course, has completely changed, with a much higher percentage of women in the industry, many deservedly assuming senior roles.”

Looking back on his long career in the industry, Slater speaks to how he

getting kids into construction,” says Cusveller. “The industry was seen as a second-choice career, especially for women. We needed to convince the next generation that construction is a viable and rewarding career.”

To help accomplish this, CCA launched a scholarship fund which remains in place to this day. The Association also began working with SAIT to develop a four-year construction project management course. Again, it remains in place today. The first SAIT

TIME SUSPENDED

Norm Kuntz proved to be an anomaly in the history of CCA Chairs in that he held the position for more than the usual one-year term. His tenure began with a sudden vacancy and was extended due to COVID. In all, he was

Chair from September 2018 to the end of May 2020.

“COVID was obviously a central issue during my time as Chair,” he says. “Everybody was scrambling to figure out how to react.”

CCA stepped up to the plate and soon released a “Pandemic Planning for the Construction Industry Guide” that outlined how members could continue to operate while mitigating their risks.

“The cooperation shown between

industry members and industry associations and our municipal and provincial governments was amazing,” says Kuntz. “It was a very challenging time for construction, but also a very rewarding one because you were working for the benefit of industry and society.”

These efforts were a major influence in Alberta, allowing construction to continue to operate when other jurisdictions shut it down.

“I think one of the reasons why we were able to successfully operate through COVID was because safety has always been such an integral part of the construction industry,” says Kuntz. “ COVID was one more challenge, and we are used to dealing with challenges.”

During his tenure as Chair, Kuntz also worked very closely with the CCA Board of Directors and current President Bill Black to steer the Association toward taking on an increased advocacy role with government – primarily municipal, but also provincial and federal – as well as the public.

This effort culminated in the creation of a new post at CCA, with Frano Cavar assuming the official position of Director of Public Affairs and External Relations in October 2021.

Kuntz is also proud of his role in transitioning Bill Black from a temporary measure to the full-time leader at CCA. “Bill initially took the role on a six-month contract,” says Kuntz. “He excelled at the job so the Board asked him to continue and I negotiated the employment agreement to keep him in the position – one that he still holds.”

Yet another focus for Kuntz was the updating of the Association’s Bylaws and Committee Terms of Reference, an undertaking designed to improve functionality and further meet member needs. One bylaw change was to limit board members to four consecutive terms, totaling eight years, after which they must step away for a two-year absence before being eligible to serve again.

“Over the years, I got to learn so much and meet so many people through my involvement with the Association. The industry has certainly given me much more than I have put in.”

Kuntz is currently serving his fourth term on the Board, representing Concrete Alberta, but will remain engaged and supportive of the Association when finished. “It will be easy to pass the torch, as we have leaders from our industry stepping up and participating,” he says. “I’m happy to lend whatever support needed in the future.”

THE BUCKET LIST

Todd Poulsen became Chair of the CCA in 2021. He balanced those duties while holding his current position as president of Elan Construction.

“I believed that if we were a good general contractor for the industry, then we needed to be part of the Association,” says Poulsen. “There was a part of me that always wanted to help other people be successful. Over the years, I got to learn so much and meet so many people through my involvement with the Association. The industry has certainly given me much more than I have put in.”

Poulsen describes his year as Chair as one characterized by significant adjustments for the Association. “CCA really needed to change,” he says. “It had to build on its competency as a digital plan room and networking organization in order to remain meaningful to its members.”

Accomplishing this meant embarking upon a very difficult path and conducting some soul searching. “We undertook a lot of strategic work at the time,” says Poulsen. “We had to figure out who we were, what we were all about and who our members were. We did a deep dive into the data and found that the majority of our members were smaller firms of 10 employees or less. But that our overall volunteer component was primarily well-established regional and national companies.”

The Association dove deeper still and queried its members on their needs. The results have been condensed into five distinct buckets:

• Increase the talent pool;

• Raise their voice with industry/government;

• Provide training and development for their talent pool;

• See and get prepared for the future; and

• Provide access to good work.

“By shifting our focus to these five buckets, we became more of an association that the members really needed,” says Poulsen.

Although Poulsen has seen the industry pull together when times are tough, he describes it as an industry that will always be characterized by risks and challenges. “Looking ahead, I think the industry will continue to be difficult,” he says. “Technology is making some things easier but it is also making other things more complex.”

Despite this, or because of this, Poulsen predicts that CCA will become only more crucial in the years ahead.

“The way that the CCA team has been executing on the strategy developed by the CCA Board will bring more changes over the next few years,” he says. “It will become more diverse, bring in more members, and become even more important to our industry’s future success.”

A FUTURE OF OPPORTUNITY

As the current Chair of CCA, and Senior Vice President, NH Practice Leader – Surety, for BFL Canada, Lois Innes is well positioned to bring her 35+ years of industry experience to the table.

During her career, she has seen significant changes in the industry. The more notable of these is an influx of women and other minorities, as well as an industry-wide evolution to a much more professional environment. Both of these are essential to the continued success of the Calgary construction industry itself.

“One of the biggest challenges facing this industry is the work force,” she says. “I think it’s really coming to a point where a lot of people are going to start retiring. That’s when we will really see it hit.”

CCA is helping to mitigate this shortage by attacking on two fronts: educating students on the rewards of a career in construction and changing the perception of the construction industry itself.

“We’ve recently starting working in partnership on a program that brings our message directly to students in junior high and high school,” says Innes. “The goal of this pilot program is to attract more students into the trades by talking about the different types of jobs available and how construction can be a great career.”

On the other front, CCA and its members are making strides in advancing the degree of professionalism being practiced in the industry.

“There’s an outdated perception that construction sites have only male workers, with a lot of catcalls and whistling,” says Innes. “Those days are long gone. But the perception still exists. We need to educate people, and parents, about what a career in construction means today.”

Moving forward may be part and parcel of CCA’s message, but it is also in the very DNA of the Association itself.

“I think our secret tool for overcoming any challenge is Bill Black and his team,” says Innes. “He is so passionate about the members. His passion for the industry and his ability to look ahead is unequaled. He and his team are so focused on helping members, on making their lives better.”

As for Innes herself, she is enthusiastic about this new future being created. “It’s very exciting to be making change,” she says. “It’s all about putting yourself in the member experience. It is so rewarding to be involved in making changes that help our members. And, in so doing, help the industry.” u

DOWNTOWN CALGARY’S STRIKING SKYLINE OVER 80 YEARS

Eclectic prairie city to dynamic, modern metropolis

By Bill Chomik

The year was 1972. I hailed from Edmonton (sorry, not my fault) where, at that time, besides studying classical music at the University of Alberta, I uncannily played in a pop band. Our group, Déjà Vu, was invited to play at a swanky nightclub in Calgary called Lucifer’s for a three-night gig. I had never been to Calgary before, and upon arriving, I was overwhelmed upon beholding the tallest building I had ever seen – the Husky Tower, now known as the Calgary Tower. That moment was seminal in capping my ultimate decision to abandon a music career and become an architect. I moved to Calgary in 1978 and since have watched our city grow from a small, eclectic prairie city to a

dynamic, modern metropolis.

The Calgary downtown skyline has transformed significantly over the decades. Architectural jewels have marked it and shaped it, and many have landed below it, dotting our downtown with masterpieces that have garnered global attention.

In 1944, the Calgary Construction Association’s inaugural year, the Palliser Hotel, towering at a whooping 12 storeys in height, dominated Calgary’s downtown skyline as it had since its completion in 1914. Other historically significant buildings were built in the ensuing years, particularly following the start of the oil boom in 1947, but none matched the height and grandeur of the Palliser. One of these buildings still stands today - the historically designated 11-storey “Art-Moderne” Barron Building (1951). It was designed by one of Calgary’s pioneering architec-

tural firms, Cawston and Stevenson, and built by Larwill and Stevenson Construction.

However, during the oil enterprise building boom of the 1960’s, several mid-rise office buildings were constructed throughout the downtown which exceeded the Palliser’s height, including the 20-storey Elveden Centre (1964). Designed by one of Calgary’s trailblazing architectural firms at the time, Rule Wynn and Rule, and built by Commonwealth Construction Company, it was Calgary’s first “International-Style” architectural complex.

Then, two urban renewal projects celebrating Canada’s centennial of 1967 entered the scene, dramatically changing Calgary’s skyline.

The first was the Centennial Planetarium (1967), a “Brutalist-Style” castin-place concrete structure designed by McMillan Long and built by Sam

Hashman. Although not a tall building, the planetarium was unique in shape, and became the dominant icon for the west end of the downtown, pretty much as it still is today as the home of Contemporary Calgary.

The second was the Calgary Tower (1968), the edifice that so impressed me back in 1972. At a staggering 191 metres in height it dominated the Calgary skyline, standing over twice the height of Elveden House. Designed by architects Bill Milne and Albert Dale and built by Poole Construction Company (PCL today), the Calgary Tower has undergone many changes over the years and, though today it no longer dominates the skyline, it proudly peeps between the voids of today’s newer, shinier, and taller buildings to the north, offering passersby a sentimental glimpse of Calgary’s past.

Then came the skyscrapers, ones that led to the stunning, electrifying skyline we see today, and adding to the densely packed urban condition that distinguishes Calgary’s downtown from many others in North America.

Calgary Tower’s arrival and the point in time when really tall buildings, the true “skyscrapers”, materialized in the downtown in the early 1980’s, many developers looking to attract mainly oil & gas companies, built 30 to 40-storey mid-rises and high-rises over a 60-block area. These dotted the downtown, primarily west of Centre Street, to create a skyline that took on a horizontal character with over 20 highrise buildings averaging 35 storeys in height.

These included, among many others, the stunning, contemporary 37-storey Nexen Building (1982) designed by Fred Valentine of CPV and built by Cana; the incrementally built Bow Valley Square complex (1972 – 1982), with the tallest building being 39 storeys designed by WZMH and built by Cana; and the 41-storey First Canadian Centre (1982) designed by SOM and built by PCL.

Again, a fairly monolithic plane defined the skyline – this time at an elevation of 30 to 40 storeys, a skyline which continued to be punctured significantly by the Calgary Tower.

Then came the skyscrapers, ones that led to the stunning, electrifying skyline we see today, and adding to the densely packed urban condition that distinguishes Calgary’s downtown from many others in North America. The initial batch covers the mature oil & gas and finance boom years; the second, again after a pause, renders our current state where oil & gas and finance still reigned, but energy & environment, high-tech, digital media & entertainment, and residential uses took on a leading role.

The first out of the starting gate was the Petro-Canada Centre, known today as the Suncor Energy Centre (1984). Designed by WZMH and built by Cana, the two-tower complex reached the unprecedented height of 215 metres, beating the Calgary Tower by 24

metres. At 53 storeys, the east tower, topped with an impressive, sloped glass roof, changed a skyline that we had known for years, turning it from interesting to impressive.

The next skyscraper completed was the 52-storey Bankers Hall East (1989). Then, after a hiatus in skyscraper building due to an oil & gas industry retraction that lasted over a decade, the 52-storey Bankers Hall West (2000) was completed. This “postmodern” style, twin-tower complex designed by Cohos Evamy (Dialog) sports silver and gold rooftop elements mimicking cowboy hats.

Again, a pause in skyscraper building lasted nearly a decade due to an oil & gas industry retraction but was rejuvenated by the announcement and eventual completion of The Bow (2012). At 58-storeys, this innovative tower designed by Foster + Partners with local architecture firm Zeidler and built by

Ledcor, focused on biophilic design. Its architectural hallmarks include its exoskeletal expression, curvilinear shape, and generous public plaza containing Jaume Plensa’s beautiful sculpture “Wonderland”.

The development of The Bow coincided with the generation of other 30 to 40-storey high-rises including, among others, the two-towered Centennial Place (2010) which was designed by WZMH with GGA. With a focus on sustainability, the two buildings contain antenna spires and curved roof forms that add exquisite detail to the skyline.

Three other highly distinctive skyscrapers followed, leading to the skyline we see today.

Eighth Avenue Place (2014), a twintower complex of 41 and 51 storeys respectively, brought another distinguishing form to the Calgary skyline.

tain delightful angular roof elements that are lit at night, providing sparkle to the night skyline.

TELUS Sky (2020), designed by BIG with Dialog, created an architectural buzz that continues today. At 60 storeys, the twisting, pixelated facade is a treasure at night, adorning the skyline with Doug Coupland’s “Northern Lights”, a captivating LED presentation involving changing colours and movement, much like the northern lights themselves.

The denouement to the Calgary downtown skyline narrative that we see today is Brookfield Place, an elegant 56-storey glass extrusion designed by AFK with Dialog and built by EllisDon. As Calgary’s tallest building, Brookfield Place is the pinnacle structure marking what many have called one of the most striking skylines in North America.

The skyline gently extends beyond the downtown core, reaching into East

Village where a few handsome towers have added vibrancy to the rejuvenating area, and reaching into the Beltline and Sunalta communities where over two dozen residential towers dot the landscape. Cidex’s West Village Towers, technically within the west end of the downtown, have had a particular impact on the peripheral skyline. The towers’ sharply peaked roofs, framed in LED lighting, provide a provocative edge to the Calgary skyline during the day as well as at night.

In between all the historic buildings, mid-rise, high-rise, and skyscrapers that define our skyline sit some of the world’s most admired low-rise buildings and structures. These powerful architectural masterpieces were all designed by world-renowned architects in concert with local architectural

firms. Two buildings that have earned this distinction include the Calgary Central Library (2018), designed by Snohetta/Dialog and built by Stuart Olson, and the National Music Centre (2016), designed by Allied Works/Kasian and built by Cana.

In 80 years, the changes to our remarkable city have been breathtaking. Lucifer’s Night Club is gone, the Palliser endures, and the Calgary Tower succeeds. The creation of one of the greatest city skylines in the world has been a joy to witness for Calgary’s citizens and visitors, and a highly rewarding adventure by all involved in its creation. This was all made possible by the politicians who paved the way for development; by developers and institutions who enthusiastically responded to commercial and community needs; by architects,

engineers, and specialists who courageously embraced their assignments; by the construction leaders, including general contractors, construction managers, subtrades and suppliers, who proudly erected their work; and by the Calgary Construction Association whose resource charity and guiding hand have driven the progress and excellence requisite in the construction industry to build the skyline we now have.

Bill Chomik is an architect with a worldwide portfolio of work. He has lived and practiced architecture in Calgary since 1978 and is responsible for the design of many of Calgary’s well-known buildings including the Calgary Courts Centre, National Music Centre, Taylor Family Digital Library, Calgary Humane Society, and Alberta Children’s Hospital. u

ADVANCING CHANGE: CCA OFFICES UNDERGO ELEMENTAL REDESIGN

By Melanie Franner

The recently renovated offices of the Calgary Construction Association (CCA) reflect more than the leadingedge, dynamic industry itself. The openly bold, dramatic space also represents a new age in the Association’s evolution – one that harks back to community and member engagement.

“I wanted it to be a space where members would be free to come and use at any time, whether for planned meetings with clients or in between meetings when they happen to be in the area,” says Bill Black, President, CCA. “We also wanted a space of our own where we could host a variety of events – like keynotes, panels and socials – to create a stronger sense of connection and community.”

YEARS IN THE MAKING

Having had a previous life in the office interiors industry prior to taking on the role of CCA President in 2018, Black had long wanted to do a redevelopment of the Association’s offices.

“The space was 42 years old, outdated, had tons of wasted space, and was clearly at the end-of-life stage when I came onboard,” says Black. “Renovating was one of the first things I wanted to do but there were many other priorities that needed attention first.”

Black bided his time while putting his commercial interiors knowledge

to work. “I designed and redesigned the space on paper over the years,” he says. “When the time finally came, I basically hand drew the layout I thought would work – one that offered a members’ lounge up front and an administration area in the back – with the two areas linked together so that we could have the whole space engaged when we hosted events.”

Black then took his “giant napkin scribble” to the team.

FLEXIBILITY AND VERSATILITY

“The goal of the project was to cre-

ate a functional space that suited CCA staff, but it also needed to be a welcoming, functional hospitality and working area that members could use,” says Jane Lawson, Principal, Walker Lawson Interior Design Inc.

The office administration area took up about a third of the total 4,400 square feet. Lawson and her team opened the space, using modular office partitions instead of “stick-built” partitioning to provide fluidity, as well as to create a clean, collaborative, and lightfilled environment.

“We designed the balance of the space to serve as an open, flexible working area for members, as well as a welcoming hospitality space,” says Lawson, adding that design elements included an upscale kitchen/bar area using solid surface, stone-like countertops, mirrored backsplash, glass shelving, and built-in appliances and storage.

The other fixed area is a working boardroom, where the design team opted for a telescoping glass wall that provided both functionality for private meetings, as well as connectivity to the rest of the open area.

“Part of the whole idea behind the space was to bring in some recognizable construction elements throughout,” says Lawson, who cites a freestanding decorative, concrete block

wall (painted black for effect), the use of a reclaimed steel ‘I-Beam’ in the custom-designed front desk, and an exposed existing concrete masonry wall with all of its imperfections. “We really wanted the space to reflect the association and feel like it incorporated authentic construction elements.”

A post-and-beam pergola system also serves to define space in a very open, yet “constructed,” architectural way. Another key element that contributed to the fresh design was opening up the ceiling.

“There are some challenges in opening up the ceiling in very old spaces,” says Lawson. “We were afraid of what we’d find.”

Fortunately, what they found was a relatively clean space with spiral duct and only a minor number of redundant cables and other debris which had to be removed before the new pendant light-

ing could be installed and the mechanical and HVAC systems upgraded and integrated.

PEER PRESSURE

CREATE Construction Management was charged with the construction management of the renovation project. Jim Madden, VP Operations, and Andy Townsend, PDT/Manager/PM, stickhandled the project, with the help of the on-site team and subtrades, through to the finish line.

“We mobilized on site in February 2023 and CCA got occupancy in May 2023,” says Madden.

The construction management company got involved after winning the RFP for the buildout.

“We met onsite with Jane and Bill as soon as we got onboard,” says Townsend. “The concept was sketched on a piece of paper. Jane took that and she and her team did an amazing job.

We had quite a few meetings on the overall look of things and some budget issues. We also worked closely together on some of the design construction elements, like structural concerns such as levelling the floors to provide smooth transitions.”

The company also worked on integrating the old and new to upgrade the mechanical and HVAC systems. “The challenges were very manageable,” Townsend adds. “We had a really good team, and Bill was very engaged in the process.”

In fact, according to Madden, Black proved to be a great client. “It’s easier to deal with someone who knows the dayto-day trials and tribulations that come up on a construction project,” he says. “Bill was able to make quick, informed decisions. And he brought a certain amount of levity to the situation, which made it better for everyone.”

Although the renovation is not one of Create Design’s largest project, it does stand apart for other reasons. “We talked to Jane and Bill very early on about what an honour it was going to be to work on this project,” says Madden. “This is a project that would be judged by our peers. That made it more of a challenge for us. It is more rewarding to know that the best of the best is going to be using this space. We didn’t see that as pressure necessarily. We used it as motivation instead.”

That motivation, fueled by a deep sense of personal fulfillment, proved just the ticket for Townsend as he reflects on his experiences with the project.

“For me personally, there are always projects that you look back on and think about what an amazing job it was and how happy you are to have your

name associated with it,” he says. “For me, this was one of those projects.”

CREATE has already made use of the renovated CCA offices to host one of their own quarterly breakfast meetings. The company has plans to host more events there in the future, and Townsend often stops by to set up his laptop to take advantage of the space while in between meetings in the area.

“The design driver for this renovation was the member experience,” says Black. “We wanted to create a community hub, one where there would be no barriers between us and our members.”

AN IMPORTANT MILESTONE

CCA’s recent office renovation marks a special moment for the CCA team and an important one for the Association itself. For Black, it was five years in the making. For CCA, it was a bold new de-

marcation in its ongoing evolution to better serve the needs of its members.

“I see our offices as a giant living room and our members as extended family,” says Black, who adds that the Association has gone through many changes through the years – even in just the five short years since he took the helm. “This renovation ties into the journey we’re on, one that seems a lot more targeted to members, and business owners who are members, and their willingness to explore what the future looks like with us.”

The office renovation is not only part of this journey; it also coincides with the CCA’s 2024 80th anniversary.

“This is not our 80th anniversary space,” concludes Black. “It’s a space that has finally caught up to where we are going in our 80th year – and beyond.” u

CITY MATTERS

A discussion with Mayor Jyoti Gondek on city development and future plans for Calgary

The Constructor: As you enter your third year in office, could you expand on your vision for the City of Calgary and how the construction industry contributes to realizing this vision?

Mayor Jyoti Gondek: My vision has always been to ensure that, in my time here, we continue to transform our city. We have made great strides in being recognized as a centre of innovation and inclusion. We’ll continue to make the investments we need to ensure the long-term growth of the city. Take housing, for example. The revitalization of our downtown core, along with our Office to Residential Conversion Program – has been very successful. And, in turn, it is attracting new investment to the city. We developed an incentive program that, to date, has resulted in the conversion of over two million square feet of office space into more than 2,000 residences. Some developers were able to tap into that incentive program to provide more affordable housing for Calgarians.

The Constructor recently had

the

opportunity to sit down with City of Calgary

Mayor Jyoti Gondek to discuss her plans for the city and how the construction industry fits into those plans.

Without the construction industry, none of this would happen. The city needs partnerships, and the construction industry has always been an active partner with the city, along with other members of the private sector.

TC: What are some key initiatives you consider most impactful during your tenure as mayor, and what priorities are yet to be addressed as you near the end of your term?

MJG: Our three most important initiatives are housing, public safety, and transit. We passed strong strategies for all three, as well as a robust budget last November to action each item. But to be successful we must collaborate. Our Housing Strategy in particular will not be possible to achieve without having skilled trade workers. Right now, Calgary has a lack of skilled trade workers, and we are working hard to address this issue. We’re out front and centre, delivering the message of what a trade career could look like and destigmatizing it, as it’s a great career choice.

Just a couple of days ago, for example, Premier Smith and I attended an event at the Calgary Catholic Immigration Society. We spoke about the importance of trades to newcomers. We spoke quite candidly about how the trades are not often thought of as a first or even second choice. But we highlighted the opportunities available through the trades – how people can get the training they need and be in the workforce quicker.

TC: You have emphasized the development of cross-sector partnerships. Can you describe how the construction industry can potentially contribute to/ participate in these types of partnerships.

MJG: Partnerships are critical to the city’s growth. Take housing again for example, the city itself can’t deliver on the number of homes needed to house future residents and those with special needs. We must have partnerships with social service agencies, and we absolutely can’t do it without private sector

I think one of the biggest reasons for our success is our belief in ourselves and our ability to invest in the city.

delivery. The construction industry is such a big part of that solution.

We also need strong public transit. Transit is a great enabler and connector. It needs to be safer, more reliable, and more accessible. Building housing along the transit system is equally as important as offering transit itself. The construction industry is a critical partner in many of these plans.

TC: How important is it for the City of Calgary to be able to grow and compete globally? How can the construction sector help achieve this goal?

MJG: It is critical for us to compete on the global stage. That’s why we’re spearheading several high-profile projects, like the Downtown Office to Residential Conversion Projects, the Arts Commons and Olympic Plaza Transformation, Glenbow Museum Renovation, and the BMO Centre Expansion. These projects are all designed to showcase our city – to attract people and businesses to our city. The construction in-

dustry plays a huge role in the delivery of these iconic projects.*

TC: Calgary has experienced rapid growth and transformation over the past several decades. What are the key factors that have contributed to this growth, and how have they impacted the city’s identity and character?

MJG: I think one of the biggest reasons for our success is our belief in ourselves and our ability to invest in the city. We have invested in the downtown core, the arts & entertainment district, housing, and transit. Our investment attracts other private sector investment. We have the physical structures in place for a great quality of life and we have added to that by building a safe, secure, and inclusive environment for Calgarians. I am proud to say that we are the third most diverse city in the nation.

TC: Calgary is often seen as a hub of innovation and entrepreneurship. How do you see innovation shaping

Calgary’s future, especially in emerging industries and technologies?

MJG: It’s truly amazing to see some of the work going on related to technology – whether it be biotech or sustainable energy. Some 60 per cent of the companies that have come to Calgary over the last few years are laser-focused on sustainability and the environment.

There are also people in the construction industry looking at artificial intelligence and different technology platforms to make sure that we are building the most efficient structures possible. It is an exciting time to be involved in building in Calgary.

* The $40 million Olympic Plaza Transformation will see a full redesign of the plaza and will build on the momentum of the investment and work already underway in downtown Calgary with the $480 million Arts Commons Transformation project. The $130+ million Glenbow Reimagined project will see the Glenbow Museum transformed into an accessible, community-focused and sustainable facility. The $500 million BMO Centre Expansion project will make it the largest convention facility in Western Canada, with over one million total square feet. u

BUILDWORKS CANADA MEMBER VALUE REPORT

In 2023, we committed to sustain and improve the overall member experience and introduce operational efficiencies. The year went quickly; however, many pieces came together, which was only possible through the collaboration of our local construction associations, boards and members, contracted service providers and National colleagues.

Working with our contracted service providers, such as eSolutions (GHD) and Bid Central, was crucial in bringing positive change. Improvements included fixing the map functionality, auto-generating receipts for on demand purchases, and implementing an improved search tooltip. While not quite making it under the wire for

Our team of local construction associations worked diligently to source and post 3,811 projects in 2023. The awarded value was added for 1,236 projects totaling over $2.5B.

2023, other improvements are in the final stages of implementation, such as the redesigned Bulletin Reports (New & Updated, Awarded) and the streamlined registration process for users of myPlanroom (Invitation to Bid). Many improvements and issues are logged with eSolutions for resolution in the next release, which is expected in 2024.

The redesigned BuildWorks Canada website, which went live in January, 2024, represents a refreshed look and brings clarity to the services that BuildWorks offers. It features links and information on the BuildWorks Canada Planroom, the Apps page, Directory, myPlanRoom, and Substantial Completion Certificates. New how-to videos have been created to help new

users navigate the platform and introduce new features to current members. News & Tips articles will be released monthly to increase member engagement. We plan to generate additional revenue by adding advertising to the website on the home page and News & Tips page, where we expect the most user traffic. The redesigned website now includes a ‘Request a Demo’ feature and heavily focuses on converting visitors into members with links to local construction association member pages.

THE 2023 NUMBERS

Our team of local construction associations worked diligently to source and post 3,811 projects in 2023. The awarded value was added for 1,236

projects totaling over $2.5B.

This focused effort enabled our members to discover relevant project opportunities quickly.

Posting project opportunities remains the core service of BuildWorks, connecting members to procurements across the province.

BuildWorks Canada projects were sourced from an extensive array of owners across the province, and in 2023, we posted projects from over 480 different owners across 12 different owner types. Government projects (municipal, provincial,l and federal) accounted for almost 75 per cent of the projects posted.

The percentage split between ICI and Civil remained consistent with previous years, with 2,229 or 58 per cent Civil projects and 1,582 or 42 per cent ICI projects.

The most extensive work classifications were Civil Supply/Service/Maintenance, with 819 projects and ICI Renovation, with 776 projects.

Serving members of local construction associations and the broader ICI construction industry is why BuildWorks Canada exists. With that at the heart of everything we do, we want to ensure that the BuildWorks Canada platform and its features serve our current and future members with the services they need.

We look forward to hearing from our membership to identify and prioritize the services that matter most to ensure our 2024 service plan is aligned in providing even greater value to members, continuing to improve operational efficiencies and, new for this year, growth. u

BREAKING NEW GROUND: KI INTERNATIONAL’S DEPLOYMENT OF CANADA’S FIRST ELECTRIC DRILLING RIG

By Alex Williamson, Business Manager, Ki International

In the winter of 2024, Ki Piling and Shoring (Ki) made construction history when we broke ground with the LB 30 Unplugged drilling rig. Manufactured by Liebherr, the LB 30 Unplugged is the first zero-emissions drilling rig to be used in North America.

We first deployed the LB 30 Unplugged to construct a new pedestrian overpass being installed at 16th Avenue and 29th Street NW, near the Arthur J.E. Child Comprehensive Cancer Centre at the Foothills Hospital in Calgary. The pedestrian overpass is owned by the City of Calgary, with Gra-

ham Construction engaged as general contractor.

We added the LB 30 Unplugged to our fleet to make a positive impact in our community and industry. After acquiring the rig and training with Liebherr, our focus shifted to testing its capabilities in a challenging job that would truly push this innovative equipment to its limits. We got what we asked for.

Ki has always been a company focussed on creating solutions. Gordon Williamson, President and owner of Ki, began his career as an electrician. In

the early 2000s, Williamson repeatedly observed a shortage of piling contractors, leading to frequent delays in the projects he worked on. Inspired by this local demand, he created Ki, and he never looked back. The first drilling rig procured by Ki was a John Deere with a Bayshore Systems LoDril attachment, which at the time was one of the only LoDril’s operating in Alberta. This allowed Ki to carve out a name for itself by taking on jobs that larger conventional drilling rigs couldn’t reach, and where agility and versatility were required. Ki grew slowly and steadily and

is still going strong and bringing innovation in 2024.

The LB 30 Unplugged is the latest step in Ki’s development. The drill rig runs entirely on an electric motor, which

can be powered by its onboard batteries or by plugging into an electrical source.

The LB 30 Unplugged is significantly quieter than a diesel piling rig and produces zero emissions. The LB 30 Un-

plugged was shipped to Alberta from California. Upon its arrival, we worked with Liebherr’s technicians to master the operation and setup of the drill rig. Once proficient, our focus shifted to finding a challenging job to test its capabilities.

The Foothills Hospital in Northwest Calgary is the largest hospital centre in the province of Alberta. With any medical centre of this size, access is a constant challenge. Each day, the Foothills hosts patients seeking medical attention, students from the nearby University of Calgary, and many workers and visitors. It is located on 16th Avenue, a major roadway and part of the TransCanada Highway 1. The new pedestrian bridge crosses 16th Avenue near the Tom Baker Cancer Centre and UXBorough mixed-use developments. The piling scope consists of 26 large diametre piles, the largest of which was 1000mm in diametre, and 18 metres deep. All

1000mm piles required full-length casing to battle the soft ground conditions.

The area around the Foothills Hospital has been growing increasingly busy with new developments, construction, and commuter traffic. The new pedestrian bridge is a humble yet important piece of civil infrastructure that will serve the community, hospital patients, and staff. Our commitment to the project involved deploying our innovative equipment and highly skilled personnel to best serve the community, patients, and staff effectively.

The piling scope for 16th Avenue was completed on February 9, 2024, and it presented a number of challenges, including soft ground, sloughing, mud, water, sand, and silt. Being located directly beside the Foothills Hospital led to a new set of challenges as well, including the imperative of allowing emergency vehicles passage, and respecting the patients who were seeking treatment. Our field workers needed to quickly learn new skills around the LB 30, including managing large electrical cables. Moreover, the weather in January fluctuated constantly, heading from over 10C to under -36C, with a windchill of -40C.

The LB 30 Unplugged performed famously. It was more than capable of handling casing and the large rebar cages reinforcing the piles. The electric systems on the rig withstood the intense cold when prepared appropriately. While the rig can also be plugged directly into the power grid, it was decided that portable generators would allow more consistent workflow. While the generators ran using diesel fuel, the amount was substantially less than the internal combustion engine in a traditional piling rig would have required. With no combustion engine onboard, the silent nature of the machine increased safety by allowing emergency vehicles to be heard more clearly, and it caused less noise pollution for medical staff and patients.

The 16th Avenue Pedestrian Bridge was a tough job for the LB 30 Unplugged to cut its teeth on, but the drill rig and its crew overcame every challenge it faced.

We’ve demonstrated that the LB 30 Unplugged is capable of handling difficult drilling environments and extreme weather conditions, and that our crews are proficient in operating the machine itself. Our next step is to identify jobs

that align with the unique features of the LB 30 Unplugged, such as those requiring reduced noise levels, LEED projects focused on environmental sustainability in construction, or any other setting where the electric rig will excel. Ki Piling and Shoring will continue creating solutions and bringing the best machines for each job. Whatever that next job may be, and whatever challenges we find there, we are ready. u

NEW LOCAL INITIATIVE BRINGS INDUSTRY TOGETHER TO ACHIEVE EMISSIONS-NEUTRAL BUILDINGS IN ALBERTA

Building, construction, and renovation professionals interested in learning about how to significantly reduce emissions from buildings in Alberta can now benefit from the support of a new local initiative.

The Emissions-Neutral Buildings Information Exchange (ENBIX), is a collaborative initiative that brings industry together to share knowledge, build capacity, and support building and renovation practices across Alberta. The goal of this initiative is to accelerate the transition to an emissionsneutral built environment for new and existing buildings.

The term “emission-neutral building” refers to a building that is highly efficient and uses only renewable energy for its operations. These buildings use less energy, have lesser impact on the environment and are more comfortable for the occupants.

“We have heard from industry leaders the need to build better for commercial and environmental reasons, and to prepare for the adoption of higher tiers of building code in Alberta,” says Andrea Linsky, Director, Emissions-Neutral Buildings with Alberta Ecotrust Foundation. “ENBIX is here to work with industry to advance

more affordable emissions-neutral buildings, by sharing information, fostering innovation and strengthening collaboration.”

ENBIX is an industry collaboration led by the Alberta Ecotrust Foundation, with financial support from its Climate Innovation Fund and from the cities of Calgary and Edmonton. It works closely with industry partners such as the Calgary Construction Association and the Smart Sustainable Resilient Infrastructure Association.

“We are creating momentum for action with ENBIX that will build over the next several years and beyond,” says

Professionals in the building. Construction and renovation industry gather February 28 at the Calgary Construction Association offices to celebrate the ENBIX Calgary Communities of Practice Kickoff.

Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek. “Building capacity for emissions-neutral construction across the whole development ecosystem – from construction to manufacturing, supply, training, operating, and more is critical in getting us to net-zero buildings by 2050.”

Commercial and residential buildings are a major source of greenhouse gas emissions across Canada. In Calgary alone, the building stock accounts for about 60 per cent of emissions.

One of the key ways that ENBIX collaborates with partners, government, and local professionals working in the building, construction, and renovation industry, are the Communities of Practice. Communities of Practice bring local industry practitioners together to identify challenges and opportunities for emissions-neutral buildings, overcome barriers, foster innovation, and share success stories. The first ENBIX Calgary Community of Practice took place on February 28, 2024 at the Calgary Construction Association.

“The launch of the ENBIX Calgary

Steve Norris of SNAP Builder / Plaid Shirt Developments presents on his high-performance developments in Calgary.

Communities of Practice marks a pivotal moment in our industry’s commitment to high-performance buildings, especially in terms of long-term energy consumption and carbon footprint,” says Bill Black, President and CEO, Calgary Construction Association. “By focusing on realistic solutions, and through collaboration and knowledge sharing, the leaders in our construction industry are taking proactive steps to mitigate our carbon footprint and contribute to a greener, cleaner future for Calgary.”

During the event, residential builders Steve Norris of SNAP Building / Plaid Shirt Developments and Neil Hawkins of Avalon Master Builder shared their journey to building towards emissions-neutral standards in Calgary. Both builders showcased their recent multi-unit residential projects and addressed how they achieve comfortable, cost-effective, and energy-efficient homes.

One example is Avalon Master Builder’s Emerge Arbour Lake Project, an 87-unit net zero/net zero-ready townhouse complex, that has achieved a 70 per cent reduction in emissions compared to a code-compliant development. Net Zero refers to buildings that produce as much clean energy as they consume, according to the Canadian Home Builders’ Association.

Both builders mentioned partnerships, knowledge sharing, and positioning themselves with a good team as examples of how they achieved their success. They also admitted there are challenges to thinking beyond the status quo.

Through the ENBIX Calgary Communities of Practice, participants can learn from the experience of local participants such as Avalon Master Builder and SNAP Building, as well as share their own barriers and successes. While this time the topic was residential buildings, ENBIX focuses on all

types of buildings, including commercial and institutional projects.

ENBIX launched in December 2023, and it has quickly become the place to go for emissions-neutral building information and collaboration in Alberta. In addition to the Communities of Practice and the sharing of success stories, ENBIX offers:

• A growing resource library of case studies, research, and guidelines.

• Capacity building for individuals and organizations through training resources, courses, and peer-to-peer learning opportunities.

• Opportunities for research, idea generation, and creation of materials to meet the needs of the industry.

IN PURSUIT OF SAFETY EXCELLENCE: ACSA’S JOURNEY BEYOND 35 YEARS

The Alberta Construction Safety Association (ACSA) is embarking on a safety journey beyond its 35th anniversary, standing alongside its members at the forefront of safety excellence. Serving more than 54,000 members, ACSA is the largest certifying partner in Alberta, offering safety training, designation and certification programs, and connecting a dedicated community of health and safety professionals, leaders, owners, and workers in the construction industry.

Last year marked a significant milestone for the ACSA. The Board and Administration took a moment to reflect and reassess its vision, mission, and core values to better align with the evolving needs of its members and the industry.

Mark Hoosein, chief executive officer, says, “Our strategic direction paves the way for our vision where safety is foundational to everything we build,

and our passion for safety is matched by our industry’s collective expertise, supporting continuous improvements in safety.”

“ACSA’s new vision resonates with the industry. It’s a renewed commitment to integrating safety into all construction endeavours, ensuring it is as fundamental as the structures we build,” says Joe Sparks, ACSA Board of Director and member of the Calgary Construction Association.

The ACSA is uniquely positioned as a member-centric, industry-funded nonprofit organization, enabling it to drive safety and business excellence in an industry known for its high risks.

Flagship programs supporting continuous improvement in the industry include the Certificate of Recognition (COR) and its counterpart for smaller employers (SECOR). Established in 1989, COR has a strong history in Alberta. While we can be proud of the

history and accomplishments of the COR program, feedback from members points to a need to evaluate and update COR and SECOR. “We need a program that provides added value and incentives that encourage employers of all sizes to pursue COR. While Alberta holds the vast majority of certifications across Canada, many employers still have not pursued this valuable certification,” says Hoosein.

In response, ACSA is undertaking a multi-phased strategic initiative to modernize the COR and SECOR programs. This project is grounded in comprehensive industry consultation to assess and enhance program effectiveness, relevance, and adaptability based on industry and member needs. “We will improve on what we can directly influence and, together with our stakeholders, advocate for changes requiring regulatory cooperation,” adds Hoosein.

“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.

This initiative is among the largest ACSA has undertaken and is part of a broader suite of exciting developments at ACSA based on a three-fold strategy: Design thinking transformation, member-centric approach, and intentional innovations.

“By putting our members at the centre of the design process, we ensure that our solutions address their real

needs and deliver value. It’s about innovating with purpose,” says Hoosein.

“We are strategically innovating to stay ahead of industry and technological changes, ensuring our resources and strategies are aligned with our members’ current and future needs. This is how we lead with intention,” says Ryan Hawley, ACSA’s Board Chair.

Along with a renewed strategic plan

and focus on safety, there are some exciting new chapters ahead for ACSA, including:

• Expanding access to in-person safety classes at the Calgary Construction Association and the ability for members to request ACSA in-person training at their workplaces, complementing our virtual training offerings.

• Revamping the website as a hub for sharing valuable resources, tools, and best practices directly informed by industry insights.

• Facilitating the renewal of our training offerings with the upcoming new learning management system and setting the platform for the next generation of safety training and microlearning as the industry requires.

INTRODUCING WELLINGS OF CALGARY, A VIBRANT NEW COMMUNITY FOR ADULTS 55+

By Natalie Tommy, VP Marketing NLG and Wellings Communities

At all levels of Nautical Lands Group (NLG), we understand the significance of creating environments that go beyond mere structures, focusing on community, well-being, and purpose for seniors of all ages. We are purposefully building Wellings Communities that are aligned with the goals of the very people who will live with us.

In shaping the Wellings of Calgary, we are guided by fundamental principles and key elements that form the foundation of our vision.

COMMUNITY AND CONNECTION

At the Wellings of Calgary, we purposely locate all of our amenities between the first and second floors to ensure our members connect with not only each other but also with the greater community at large every day.

Placing communal gathering areas at the centre of our community is a deliberate choice. Our community centres and activity spaces are designed to be vibrant hubs where residents can engage in a variety of activities, from

fitness classes to reading nooks and live music. Members always enjoy a diverse variety of member-led experiences. These spaces are not just amenities; they are the heartbeat of our communities.

PATHWAYS AND ACTIVITY

Our commitment to senior wellbeing extends to the outdoors and we celebrate the ability to live in a natural setting here in Calgary. Wellings of Calgary is designed with walking paths, creating a perfect setting for physical

activity, socialization, and a connection with nature. These natural pathways play a vital part of daily life, encouraging active living and community engagement.

PROXIMITY TO COMMUNITY SERVICES

Seniors deserve seamless access to the broader community. At NLG, we seek out regions that are large enough to deliver essential services and cultural experiences, but small enough to navigate easily ensuring that our carefree members can easily find many levels of health care when needed.

ACTIVITIES AND HOBBIES

We understand the importance of fostering a sense of purpose among our seniors. Our communities promote opportunities for meaningful activities and hobbies by encouraging members to dig into passions they may have not had time to cultivate. Our members find avenues for personal fulfillment and contribution, often sharing and offering their expertise to others.

NLG and Wellings are on a mission to change the way people perceive living in retirement. Changing where you live should not change the goals you have for a vibrant, healthy, and independent lifestyle, it should allow you the freedom to take the steps necessary to get where you want to go. Letting go of your “must do list” and picking up your “what’s on for the day” list, will slowly change your perception over time. Consider what you need from your surroundings to thrive and enjoy where you are in life.

Choosing an adult lifestyle community for living in retirement is a significant decision that goes well beyond the physical amenities. For NLG and Wellings, crafting thriving 55+ adult lifestyle communities goes beyond constructing physical structures; it involves designing spaces that prioritize community, connection, and comfort. u

ADVOCATING TOGETHER FOR COMMON SENSE INFRASTRUCTURE PLANNING AND INVESTMENT

By Ron Glen, President, Alberta Roadbuilders and Heavy Construction Association

Congratulations to our friends at the Calgary Construction Association (CCA) on your 80th anniversary! The CCA and its members have contributed significantly towards Calgary’s growth and our province’s prosperity over the past eight decades.

The Alberta Roadbuilders and Heavy Construction Association (ARCHA) and our Calgary Committee have been proud to work alongside you to advocate for civil works necessary to support transportation, commercial, and residential development in Calgary.

The last decade has been tough on people… and tough on businesses in industries like ours. We have gone through economic uncertainty, geopolitical challenges, floods, technological disruptions, a pandemic, and supply chain inflation.

Despite the many challenges we have faced, Albertans still require the basic infrastructure to maintain their quality of life such as roads and bridg-

es; water and sewers; schools and hospitals; as well as recreation facilities and libraries. Our province also needs an efficient, well-maintained, strategic transportation network to grow our economy – an economy reliant on international trade. Basic common sense, right?

We have taken a careful look at Alberta’s 2024 Budget. Unfortunately, it suggests common sense is not as common as one would think.

Alberta is calling and people are coming. Our population is growing at the highest rate in history. To support this population boom, a report by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities estimates that each new housing unit requires a $107,000 investment in public infrastructure. This covers the cost of roads, water, and sewer. Not to mention the investment in highways and bridges needed to connect our growing communities and support our economy

A report by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities estimates that each new housing unit requires a $107,000 investment in public infrastructure.

to ensure our residents can continue to benefit from good paying jobs.

Logically, one would assume that the provincial budget would reflect these growing needs and demonstrate a long-term commitment for reliable funding that supports both our growing economic and housing needs. At minimum, one would also assume that the current assets are at least being properly maintained.

Instead, the reality falls short of expectations.

While provincial grants to municipalities for transportation and economic corridors appear to increase dramatically from 2022, up from $148 million to $707 million, when you remove the $469 million dedicated to LRT, and the $87 million for the Saddledome replacement, you are left with only $151 million for all other municipal transportation grants across the province. This is why municipalities are warning of insufficient support for new housing creation.

While many worthwhile projects are scheduled, capital investment in the rehabilitation and construction of Alberta’s highways is reduced by 26 per cent and 28 per cent respectively perpetuating a worrying trend of deferring necessary repairs.

This shortsighted approach not only

Alberta’s highways are essential economic corridors, but their condition is deteriorating. Construction and and repair costs are escalating beyond material and labour inflation. Necessary risk adjusted pricing for government procurement is costing taxpayers unnecessary premiums.

The ARHCA is proposing solutions to fix our roads. Please join our cause and support better streets and highways.

By using the hashtag #FIXourROADS you can help amplify the message on line. Thank you!

results in a ballooning financial liability but also worsens our ever-growing existing infrastructure deficit.

The impact of this reduced funding is further compounded by procurement strategies, used by the City of Calgary and the provincial government, which transfers the owner’s risk onto contractors. Those in industry know, and have been telling our governments, that transferring the risk does not make the risk go away… but it does drive up the cost of a project because contractors then need to factor this risk into their pricing. It also leaves a less competitive bidding field as many contractors simply choose to work with more reasonable clients – and less competition does not drive better value for taxpayers.

Governments at all levels must reverse these investment killing policies and work with industry to be more transparent, and fair, with public procurement.

Our ask of governments is simple. First, manage risks reasonably. This will improve competition and help manage costs, delivering more value for each dollar spent. Second, produce a longterm and adequately funded strategic infrastructure plan. This will ensure a clear vision and adequate budget for our infrastructure needs to support our economic and housing needs are being met.

Alberta is growing, and inflation keeps increasing. It is time to stop wasting time and money, because getting this right matters.

ARHCA and CCA have been partners in advocating for common sense infrastructure planning and investment. Voices like the CCA’s matter today more than ever before.

The ARHCA congratulates you on 80 years of service and look forward to building with you for the next 80 years. u

50 YEARS OF SHAPING COMMUNITIES

It was both the thrill of a challenge and the intrigue of Canada’s extreme Northern terrain that spurred Andy Clark to take on an opportunity in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, in 1974. Clark Builders began in the vast, rug-

ged expanse of Canada’s North, where challenging conditions meant that every project had to be meticulously planned and executed. Short building seasons, limited supply access, and a small workforce developed skills in

drawing the best out of whatever was available. This drove the core values that are deeply rooted within Clark Builders today.

Andy’s philosophy was “One Great Person and One Great Project at a

Early days, Andy Clark and Bill Giebelhaus.

CELEBRATING YEARS

We're excited to reflect on five decades of legacy, partnerships, and transformative projects across Northern and Western Canada. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our clients, suppliers, trade partners, consultants, and our talented team of professionals, all of whom have been instrumental in our success.

We look forward to continuing these valued partnerships in the decades ahead.

Time,” which encapsulated the essence of the company’s approach. Clark Builders quickly became known for its commitment to excellence and ability to deliver projects on time and within budget, even under the most extreme and challenging conditions.

The early 1980s marked a significant era for Clark Builders as they cemented their reputation as experts in coldclimate construction. Notable projects included the Echo Bay Lupin Gold Mine project, Gulf Base Camp in Tuktoyaktuk, and Esso’s Norman Wells Expansion. These projects showcased Clark Builders’ capability to handle anything, from the harsh northern climate to

complex logistical obstacles.

By the 1990s, amidst economic fluctuations in the Canadian market, Clark Builders ventured overseas, proving their capabilities in complex projects with a decade of exciting opportunities in places like Siberia, China, and Japan. They constructed the Canadian Village and Hotel Ontario in Yakutsk, Russia; built houses in China; and spearheaded Maple Court, Japan’s first woodframed multi-family housing complex. Clark Builders’ commitment to quality was evident when Maple Court was one of the few buildings that survived the devastating 6.9 earthquake in 1995.

In 1999, Clark Builders took a sig-

nificant step towards expansion by acquiring Carlson Contractors in Calgary. This strategic move not only facilitated the company’s entry into southern Alberta but also marked the beginning of a period of rapid growth. Clark Builders began to shape the Calgary skyline with the completion of major multi-unit residential complexes, including the La Caille on the Parke Condominiums in 2004 and the Five West Condominiums in 2008.

An even more significant change occurred in 2011 when Clark Builders formalized a partnership with Turner Construction, a global leader in the industry. This landmark collaboration marked an important milestone in their trajectory, propelling them to the forefront of Canadian construction. While the partnership with Turner Construction provided access to international expertise, Clark Builders maintains its

small-to-medium-sized company culture, ensuring an integration of capabilities and values.

This development catalyzed a period of unprecedented growth and innovation for Clark Builders, particularly in the Calgary and Edmonton markets. The “One Great Person and One Great Project at a Time” motto evolved into deep-rooted core values and a true sense of purpose that has guided Clark Builders to continued success. The company’s portfolio reflects this evolu tion, focusing on creating better com munities through projects that enrich the lives of the people who work with them and the communities they help build. This includes constructing multifamily and affordable living facilities, community centres, seniors living fa cilities, and other institutional-type buildings.

However, at the core of Clark Build ers’ five decades of business lies the fundamental truth that people are the cornerstone of everything they do. This people-centric approach permeates every aspect of Clark Builders’ opera tions. It is ingrained in leadership, fos tering a culture of collaboration and inclusivity within the organization to engage directly with communities to understand their unique challenges and aspirations. Kim Connell, Senior Vice President of Development and Strategy, located in the Calgary office, has played a pivotal role in champion ing these values, ensuring that every decision aligns with the company’s commitment to people-first principles. With a strong presence in the Calgary market, Clark Builders closely collabo rates with the Calgary Construction Association (CCA), exemplifying their commitment to industry leadership and partnership. Carly Guilcher, Direc tor of Preconstruction Solutions, is an active CCA board member, contributing

to the association’s initiatives and fostering meaningful relationships within the construction community. Through this collaboration, Clark Builders stays at the forefront of industry trends and plays a significant role in shaping the future of construction practices and standards.

As Clark Builders reflects on its journey of evolution, one thing remains abundantly clear. By building inten-

tionally and placing people at the forefront of their endeavours, Clark Builders has raised the bar for construction standards and has become a catalyst for positive community growth. Looking ahead to the future, the company remains committed to shaping better communities, ensuring that its legacy of excellence and impact endures for generations to come. u

LOOKING BACK THROUGH THE YEARS AT COMMERCIAL ROOFING

By Kevin Kramers, Alberta Roofing Contractors Association

Building envelope design has evolved considerably over the past 80 years. Advancements in materials, application techniques, safety requirements, and now sustainability have propelled the construction of industrial, commercial, and institutional (ICI) buildings to new heights. This is ever so apparent in the roofing industry where materials and assemblies are being put to the test to deliver aesthetically pleasing architectural designs while performing under extreme weather conditions.

One of the largest changes over the past eight decades is the adoption of new materials. Prior to the mid-1950’s, the majority of ICI structures with a low-slope roof were composed of a conventional built-up roof (BUR). Initially introduced in the late 1960s, the

single-ply ethylene-propylene-dienemonomer (EPDM) membrane gained market share in the 1970’s with oil shortages affecting the price and availability of asphalt.

The introduction of Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) modified bituminous membranes in the mid-1970’s changed the landscape of ICI roofing. Installing a two-ply manufactured membrane product increased productivity, enhanced durability, and was not limited by some of the installation restrictions of a traditional BUR roof. Over the past fifty years, this type of membrane has been the preferred choice of many building owners in Alberta as it provides a durable two-ply membrane and is able to be installed throughout the year, even in the winter months.

Not long after, in the late 1980’s, the development and introduction of several additional single-ply membranes provided a range of materials to choose from. In the early 1990’s thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) membranes became available and then the single-ply membrane market expanded to include polyvinyl chloride (PVC) to provide several options to the market, each with their unique characteristics.

Building on the existing inventory of membrane options, innovation and enhancing of membranes continues. One factor that is driving this innovation is the diversity of building shapes and the large-scale warehouse buildings being constructed. Many distribution warehouses have recently been built that are over one million square feet, something that was previously unheard of.

Roof is a

In addition to new materials being introduced, technological innovations have also revolutionized the way roofs are being installed. Initially a very labour-intensive activity, roofing has developed into a specialized trade which uses automatic seam welders, induction welding technology and, more recently, exoskeletons to assist with repetitive duties. The attraction, training, and retention of a skilled workforce is a key component to many contractors as we move to more sophisticated and technical installations.

One of the largest and most important changes over the last 80 years is the development and constant improvement of work site safety. Look-

ing back at commercial roofing installations in the 1950’s, one can see how things have changed. Robust safety programs which include proper PPE, on-site first aid requirements, certified guard rails, and proper worker certification are a few items that are now standard at all ICI roofing installation projects.

With revised building and energy codes, roofing has also seen several changes. Increased levels of insulation, tighter building envelope details, and well-designed roof drainage systems to meet heightened precipitation standards has amplified the importance of a properly designed roof. The installation of photovoltaic roof assemblies has also gained popularity, and the roofing community is working closely with code officials to ensure structural and performance criteria are addressed while additional equipment is being installed on the roof.

The roofing industry continues to evolve in response to emerging technologies, environmental concerns, and shifting consumer preferences. Innovations in materials could further improve the performance and sustainability of roofing systems. Additionally, advancements in automation and robotics may revolutionize the industry, making roofing installations faster, safer, and more cost-effective.

Kevin Kramers (C.E.T., R.R.O., C.T.R.) is the Technical Officer for the Alberta Roofing Contractors Association (ARCA) and has over 30 years of construction experience in Alberta.

He is responsible for maintaining the ARCA Roofing Application Standards Manual, managing the ARCA Interdisciplinary Technical Committee, researching new products and applications, and providing technical education for building professionals in Alberta. u

CALGARY CONSTRUCTION ASSOCIATION CELEBRATES 80TH ANNIVERSARY

By Lisa Kopochinski

Since its formation 80 years ago, the Calgary Construction Association has been dedicated to promoting growth and innovation within the city’s vibrant community of builders and professionals.

At the heart of its mission lies five strategic objectives: increasing the industry talent pool; providing access to good work; raising its collective voice; fostering training and development; and ensuring preparedness for the future.

This has allowed the Association to actively attract and nurture talent, connect members with quality projects, advocate for industry interests, empower its people through education, and embrace emerging trends and technologies.

The CCA also continues to have strong relationships with its partnering trade associations such as the Mechanical Contractors’ Association of Alberta (MCAA), the Electrical Contractors As-

sociation of Alberta (ECAA), the Calgary Glazing and Architectural Metals Association (GAMA), and many more.

“Since our formation in the late 1970s, GAMA has been affiliated with the Calgary Construction Association,” says Gary Porter, estimating manager at Alberta Glass Company Inc. “This relationship is a key point in our charter. From our perspective, we enjoy the fruits of the CCA’s efforts in municipal, provincial, and federal advocacy. Its efforts to elevate the construction industry’s professionalism, safety standards, and deliver world class projects with cutting-edge technologies has helped GAMA immensely. Many other areas the CCA has worked on—that have helped us—include workforce issues, prompt payment legislation, and the continual elevation of jobsite safety, including mental health initiatives.”

Additionally, Porter says that as many GAMA members are also CCA members, this has broadened their

benefits to include access to the online plan room, multiple monthly events for networking, education, and recreation, and a vision of where industry is headed for the future.

MANY INDUSTRY CHANGES

Robin Bobocel is the Executive and Registrar of the Electrical Contractors Association of Alberta (ECAA), which has been a CCA member since 1962. He says all construction trades have evolved over the years with respect to developing, utilizing, and embracing new technologies, and the electrical industry is no different.

“Perhaps none have embraced advancements in safety and sustainability more that then electrical industry with the push towards the electrification of our local, provincial, national, and even global economies. This is why partnerships between organizations like the ECAA and the CCA are so important; to ensure constructive communication

and sharing of ideas and best practices for the betterment of the entire value chain.”

Lisa Watson is the Education and Engagement Lead at the Mechanical Contractors’ Association of Alberta (MCAA), which has collaborated with the CCA for approximately 40 years. She says the built environment has evolved with many changes.

“The construction industry, particularly in the areas of plumbing, pipe fitting, gas fitting, and HVAC, has experienced significant transformations. Technological advancements, evolving regulations, and shifting consumer demands have shaped these trades in various ways.”

Safety has also been a prominent focus within these trades. With increasingly stringent regulations, there has been a heightened emphasis on workplace safety.

“Trade professionals undergo more comprehensive training programs and certifications to ensure they adhere to safety practices and standards,” explains Watson. “Plumbing systems have witnessed the adoption of innovative materials such as plastic and com-

posite pipes, which offer improved durability and corrosion resistance. There is also a growing emphasis on environmental sustainability and green building practices across all the trades.”

She adds that these advancements in the plumbing industry have not only improved functionality and efficiency, but also contributed to water conservation, energy savings, and overall sustainability.

“These changes reflect a broader societal shift towards eco-consciousness and sustainable construction practices.”

Over the past 50 years, projects have evolved in complexity, size, and with an impact on their environment. “Skyscrapers became a part of the construction landscape after the turn of the 20th century but arrived in Calgary after the second World War,” says Porter. “This was just after the time that the CCA started and vast quantities of oil were discovered in our province. Since then, construction has evolved at a rapid pace, often tempered by the cycles of our oil industry.”

With the growth of Alberta’s population—and the booms of the industry’s

expansion—came the demand for continual infrastructure improvements to meet the needs of an ever-growing economy.

“This has changed the materials we see used, the way these materials are delivered and installed, the use of materials to change and elevate the projects we are delivering, and to enhance the environment for those living, learning, working, visiting, and relaxing in our city and our province,” says Porter.

Watson adds that some of the biggest advancements are the integration of technologies, continuous changes in materials and equipment with better efficiencies and safety. “These include water purification and filtration, tankless water heaters, low flow fixtures, work alone safety devices, remote monitoring, drones, robotics for repetitive tasks, wearable site sensors, and more. Building Information Modelling (BIM) has also come a long way and will gradually be an industry standard. Overall, the utilization of software and technology has come the furthest.”

Cam McIntosh, the General Manager at Western Electrical Management Ltd., says the electrical industry has

always been evolving and pushing the advancement of new technologies such as the transition from fluorescent tubes to LED’s, lighting control systems that

better manage a building lighting load for efficiency are just a few.

“And more recently, the inclusion of infrastructure for EVs and solar as

well. As for safety, requirements have changed drastically in recent years for all types of construction projects to ensure all workers have the processes and tools required to perform their tasks safely.”

McIntosh adds that industry advancements have changed how we approach projects from tendering to construction. “Clash detection (BIM), controls systems, QA/QC, and high levels of commissioning on most systems have become the normal on projects which requires a higher level of training and knowledge.”

PROMPT PAYMENT LEGISLATION

The federal prompt payment legislation has also been gaining traction since it came into force this past December to address long-standing construction industry concerns, including the timeliness of payments, protecting vital construction jobs, and making it easier to do business with the Government of Canada.

With its aim to ensure that each party in the construction chain receives timely payment for the construction work provided for a project, this predictable and timely payment of contractors and subcontractors allows important federal infrastructure projects, such as work on buildings and bridges, to be completed.

“This important legislation is now in effect in three provinces and most recently Alberta,” says Watson. “This should change the way all contracts are signed and how contractors are paid, which is crucial for subtrades.”

WHERE WE’RE HEADED

As for where the construction industry is headed, Watson says with the current labour shortage, there is the need for more companies, associations, and government to help with awareness of the trades in schools.

“In the next five to 10 years, all the baby boomers will have retired, and we

will have a new generation at the helm of these projects. Our industry will be more diverse with workers from different cultures and genders. With the advancement of lean construction, technology, and perhaps AI, we will have less waste, processes will be streamlined, and we should have increased productivity, profits, and innovation in the industry.”

Bobocel says the construction industry will continue to be fueled by the immigration of new Canadians, as well as the drive for a more diverse and sustainable economy. “The constraints faced by the industry will no doubt be related to skilled labour—and more specifically—the lack thereof. The industry will have to be mindful of not only the skill level of available labour, but also whether we have the right kind of skilled labour available to fuel and sustain that growth.”

However, on the good side, Bobocel adds, “With the drivers of efficiency and sustainability being at the forefront of the construction industry, the future of the industry knows no bounds.”

McIntosh adds that within the next decade, the construction industry will be faced with labour shortages at all levels.

“With the high immigration rate to Canada, the push for housing, hospitals, and many other levels of infrastructure the construction industry will feel the pressures to fill these needs. The CCA has been pushing for more focus to be put on the benefits of the trades at the school level to inform the younger generation of the options available to them in the trades. This push needs to continue in order to fill the positions required to keep industry moving.”

And let’s not forget our climate crises and the race to reduce our carbon impact.

Porter says the entire inventory of Alberta buildings (1.5 million to 2 mil-

lion) will need to be upgraded to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas and carbon emissions levels over the next several decades.

“As the push to achieve a net-zero world becomes stronger, the focus on upgrading our existing building stock will require a massive effort in terms of workforce, finances, and new technologies. This effort will carry over into new

builds as well. However, with limited resources, in terms of workforce and finances, it will apply much greater pressure on what can be achieved in both the retrofit and new markets. Time is also finite, and we will require new technologies to assist in attaining these new net-zero goals.”

The question that still remains: will we be ready? u

A SHARED LEGACY: BUILDING A STRONG FUTURE TOGETHER

Warren Singh, Executive Director, Alberta Construction Association

I am pleased to be writing you as the new Executive Director of the Alberta Construction Association (ACA). The Association has over 60 years as a collective voice for the industry in the province, and I am honoured to have the opportunity to support its legacy and the industry’s continued growth.

In celebration of the Calgary Construction Association’s 80th anniversary, I would like to commend the advo-

cacy that they have done and continue do for the construction industry. This tremendous milestone is a reminder of the strong history of the sector. This united voice has developed opportunities for positive change for members and for the region. We look forward to working with the CCA on our mutual interests in the province over the years to come.

The ACA is also pleased to have great

GENERAL CONTRACTOR

representation from the Calgary region on our Board of Directors with both Lois Innes of BFL Canada and John Manes of Spalding Hardware as members. Lois has also graciously agreed to serve on the Management Committee as our new Vice-Chair. Her expertise from the Calgary region and across the construction industry will be instrumental in enhancing our advocacy to the provincial government.

The ACA continues to advocate for meaningful change to the provincial government along with our local association partners. We continue to communicate with numerous provincial ministers and department officials across government on issues that can support the construction industry. As an example, the ACA communicated to the Ministries of Infrastructure, Transportation and Economic Corridors, and Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction, on prompt pay legislation. Our advocacy to the provincial government has highlighted positions that included ensuring prompt payment provisions are adopted by the provincial government in their own Public Works Act. I am pleased to inform you that this work is progressing, and we will continue to work with the government until it is completed.

The ACA has been working with the government on predictable, sustain able infrastructure funding. In review ing the funding provided to the Capital Plan within the budget, the ACA was en couraged to see the provincial govern ment increased in several areas, such as K-12 schools and continuing care facilities. We appreciate the new fund ing for the Red Deer Hospital. However, we are disappointed that the proposed hospital in south Edmonton is not re ceiving additional funding at this time and hope that the delay will be brief.

We support further investments in LRT and roads for example the new funding for the Calgary Blue Line and corridor roads in the north and the south. And we note that the Capital Plan has a $2 billion increase in this budget and another $3.8 billion announced for Capital Maintenance and Renewal. The ACA will continue to urge the government to maintain consistency and predictability in funding of their Capital Projects, even developing

a formula that brings assurance to the industry with a reliable estimate of allocated resources.

ACA also supports the government’s investment in training programs and educational opportunities which will enhance the lives of young people looking to enter the workforce seeking a good, well-paid job. Our labour limitations will continue to be a problem for the foreseeable future, and it is necessary to prepare for continued shortfall of trained skilled trades people.

The government announced they would invest an additional $24 million per year over the next three years to create 3,200 apprenticeship seats at 11 post-secondary institutions across the province. The new investment would bring the total funding through the Apprenticeship Learning Grant for

million. We also support the government approach to finding new workers with the Alberta is Calling $5000 bonus for eligible workers moving to Alberta. Skilled trades workers will be eligible for the program when applications open in April. We will continue to work with the government on program development that increases your opportunities to find skilled workers.

As the provincial voice of the construction industry, the ACA will continue to work with local associations to raise the profile of the sector overall with the of Alberta government. Our unified voice at the table will highlight the importance of our message creating the conditions for positive change. As we continue to develop solutions to improve the industry, feel free to reach out and stay connected with us. We

UNIFIED VISION: CALGARY’S CONSTRUCTION ASSOCIATIONS

The Calgary Construction Association (CCA) stands as a pivotal organization in Calgary’s vibrant construction landscape. Founded in 1944, the CCA has championed the interests of the construction sector for eight decades, contributing significantly to the city’s development.

Alongside the CCA, several associations play crucial roles in shaping Calgary’s built environment and construction ecosystem. The Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) has been active since 1960. BOMA focuses on representing the interests of building owners and managers, advocating for best practices in building management, sustainability, and operational efficiency. By providing educational resources, networking opportunities, and advocacy, BOMA contributes to the overall improvement of building standards and practices in Calgary.

Another prominent association working in alignment with the CCA is the Building Industry and Land Development Association (BILD). Established in 1943, BILD represents a wide range of professionals involved in land development, home building, and renovation sectors. BILD’s mission encompasses promoting sustainable and responsible development practices, advocating for industry-friendly policies, and fostering collaboration among stakeholders. Through initiatives such as education programs, industry events, and policy ad-

vocacy, BILD plays a pivotal role in shaping Calgary’s urban landscape and housing market.

The National Association of Office and Industrial Properties (NAOIP) also collaborates closely with the CCA and other industry stakeholders. NAOIP has a rich history dating back to 1967, focusing on advancing the interests of office and industrial property developers, owners, and investors. The association advocates for conducive regulatory environments, promotes investment opportunities, and provides networking platforms for industry professionals. NAOIP’s efforts contribute to the development of quality commercial spaces, infrastructure, and economic growth in Calgary.

Despite their diverse focuses, these associations share several key similarities. They are all committed to promoting excellence, sustainability, and innovation within the construction and real estate sectors. Additionally, they serve as platforms for networking, knowledge-sharing, and advocacy, enabling stakeholders to collaborate and address common challenges effectively. Collectively, these associations, in alignment with the Calgary Construction Association, play an integral role in shaping communities, driving economic growth, and fostering a dynamic and resilient construction industry in Calgary and beyond. u

BUILDING ON OUR COLLECTIVE ADVOCACY: A STRONG FOUNDATION FOR A STRONGER CANADA

By Mary Van Buren, CCA President

Representing 18,000+ member firms, the Canadian Construction Association (CCA) is proud of our mission to inspire a progressive, innovative, and sustainable construction industry.

The key to our collective success is working with valued partner associations like the Calgary Construction Association. Released in March, our 2023 Annual Review demonstrates CCA’s commitment to you, our members, to be your trusted ADVISOR, CHAMPION, and PARTNER.

ANNUAL REVIEW 2023

A STRONG FOUNDATION FOR A STRONGER CANADA

In October 2023, CCA launched an industry call to action urging the federal government to partner with the construction industry on building a strong foundation for a stronger Canada. This campaign was bolstered by our annual Hill Day event on November 7, where close to 100 industry experts met with parliamentarians to discuss the construction sector’s essential role in creating and maintaining the infrastructure Canadians use daily.

Focused on highlighting the vital link between housing and essential social and public infrastructure, CCA’s recommendations to the federal government in advance of Budget 2024 detailed the overlooked yet fundamental

importance of long-term infrastructure investment and strategic policies that empower the construction industry to contribute to Canada’s long-term prosperity.

CCA’s recommendations call on the federal government to:

• Recognize the essential role of housing-enabling infrastructure in addressing the Canadian housing shortage and allocate the necessary funding for its development.

• Outline and announce the next steps of the Government of Canada’s longterm infrastructure investment strategy, previously alluded to in Budget 2023 and the Fall Economic Statement.

• Prioritize the completion of the National Infrastructure Assessment including the creation of its independent advisory body.

• Invest and strengthen trade infrastructure by supporting the Canada Trade Infrastructure Plan (CTIP).

• Continue to update and modernize the Government of Canada’s tendering and procurement models.

• Continue to partner with our industry in addressing the workforce shortage including the modernization of Canada’s immigration system.

CCA will be increasing our advocacy efforts to ensure that infrastructure is not an afterthought, rather the founda-

tion of a stronger Canada. Collaborating with our partner associations from across Canada will continue to be a cornerstone of how we operate, maximizing our collective expertise, reach, and connections to benefit the industry.

SIGNASUR

CCA is striving to make contract management simpler and more transparent for our members with our new contract management platform, SignaSur. SignaSur offers secure, digital CCA and CCDC contracts through our integrated partner associations. Many of our integrated partner associations have had a briefing on the service and are at various stages of adoption and launch.

CCDC DOCUMENTS

CCDC will be publishing four new documents on May 21 that will be available for purchase though CCA’s integrated partner associations. The new documents include:

• CCDC 16 ‘Guide to Changes in the Contract’

• CCDC 220 ‘Bid Bond’

• CCDC 221 ‘Performance Bond’

• CCDC 222 ‘Labour & Material Payment Bond’

• CCDC 2CcQ – Stipulated Price Contract (Civil code of Québec version)

• CCA 1CcQ – Stipulated Price Subcontract (Civil code of Québec version)

CCA will also be hosting a series of in-person seminars to introduce the new documents listed above as well as those released in 2023, CCDC 2 –2020 ‘Stipulated Price Contract,’ and the new CCDC 20 ‘Guide to Construction Contract Administration,’ which is expected to be published in late 2024.

COST ESCALATION BULLETIN

Set to be published later this spring, CCA’s Trade and General Contractors National Advisory Councils (NAC) worked collaboratively to prepare a bulletin on cost escalation. Long an industry issue, this bulletin will set out guiding principles for addressing cost escalation in contracts.

BEST PRACTICES SERVICES

CCA’s Best Practices Services is delivering new resources – some of which are being developed through the work of our National Advisory Councils. We recently produced a two-part webinar series to guide our members on the implementation of the Federal Prompt Payment for Construction Work Act. You can also watch one of our past Read your construction contract webinars or read our ICIC Construction Sector Quarterly Insights Report for an economic snapshot of the industry, next one to be published in April.

STAY IN TOUCH!

You can count on CCA to be a collaborative partner to the Calgary Construction Association, providing helpful tools, sharing best practices across the country and being your voice with the federal government.
