MOVING FORWARD WITH RESOLVE

Wm (Bill) Black, B.Sc., CEC, LEED AP, CCA President & COO

When 2022 did finally take off mid/late February and into March, it quickly picked up pace and seemed to keep rolling right up to year end.

Early in 2022 there was a noticeable sense of pent­up demand in the air so, as we tentatively began to venture back hoping that the repetitive shutdowns were finally over, we were glad to welcome folks in­person after what seemed like a lifetime apart.

Now looking back on 2022 at the end of Q1 2023 it feels like we packed a lot in – I had to double check that it was only one year!

With in­person events came that sense of real connection we had been missing and as we took Meet the GC and CCA Connect live they quickly proved to be extremely popular. We had realized during COVID that these shorter events were more accessible to more of our members than our tra­

ditional full­day workshops had been and as attendee numbers quickly grew to 100 and more, we knew that the community was engaged. The best Christmas Social in Calgary was the crowning touch on a year when the community came back together.

The Board offsite in March provided us with fresh insights that led to our five key strategic objectives, and these have informed our focus moving through 2022 and beyond.

• Increase Industry Talent Pool

• Access Good Work

• Raise My Voice

• Train and Develop My People

• See and be Prepared for the Future

The business part of construction also continued its recovery.

Over the course of 2022, lead time issues began to settle down and escalation also seemed to slow to a degree. They are likely

never going back to where they were, and they will be a challenge for some time yet. However, they were quickly pushed aside by what has become our industry’s greatest concern – Labour and Workforce.

Our industry is no stranger to the challenge of being seen as a less attractive career path and we have talked since the mid 1990’s about the drain on industry as retirement levels were not being matched by fresh intake. What we have had to come to terms with over 2022 is that this is not just another boom driven labour crunch – this is a lack of labour at a time when all industries appear to be experiencing the same issue and it is here to stay.

Whereas we have responded to cyclical demands in the past, this time is different. Many remember the 2007/2008 years and the extra efforts it took to find people then to meet peak demand. This is that time

DIGITAL BOARDS

CREATING A SAFE, DYNAMIC CULTURE

A diverse company starts with the people we hire. We strive to attract and retain the industry’s best talent through recruitment, engagement and career development. At PCL, we promote future growth opportunities for trade workers, such as HSE, field supervision and project management.

“We are shaping the future of construction through exceptional safety standards and training and a deep commitment to our clients, consultants and trade partners’ success.”

CCA PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE again, but on steroids. Industry is going to have to innovate once again, and we may need to find new ways to address this issue than what we have used before. Temporary measures will not work as this is not a cyclical issue this time – it is permanent.

When the board arrived at the key objectives above, we did not realize that the first item on the list, Talent, would so quickly become the primary issue. Rest assured

that CCA is looking at this in the broadest terms and we will be looking to industry stakeholders to review how best to respond throughout 2023.

With advocacy work and media coverage also growing so did our Voice on behalf of members. Whether it was speaking in front of City Council or publishing op­eds that led to TV interviews on key issues, our industry was front and centre in Calgary –

where it deserves to be.

In­person education trickled back and in­person and online classes were better subscribed. When it comes to Developing People, this is an area that we will be looking at in the years to come by expanding the menu of options and tools available to meet changing workforce needs.

The biggest issue that our members are experiencing is that – despite all these issues – too many owners still think that contractors will take on fixed­prices bids using pre­pandemic contracts that force them to absorb all of these risks and this is simply no longer possible.

What owners must realize is that earlier engagement of key stakeholders and more collaborative project delivery models are the only way to deal with these factors and set projects up for success. Whether or not procurement departments and the excuse of various rules etc. will allow this to happen is another question but the overwhelming reality is that – there is really no choice.

One would hope that as some private organizations, who generally have a more sophisticated ability to accept the fact of certain economic realities, adjust their approach with successful outcomes – hopefully others will then follow suit.

CCA will continue to champion the narrative related to these realities and raise examples with stakeholders in order to help them see the facts and adjust accordingly.

Meanwhile, the economists are more bullish about the Alberta economy over the next year or two than other previously overheated parts of Canada and the energy sector is seeing record returns. At least for now, these are good indicators for us here in Calgary. We may have challenges to address but there is also work to be secured and a stronger economy is a much better position from which to address these challenges listed above – especially compared to where we were in late 2019.

In a busier economy, it is easier to convert challenges into opportunities.

Transforming Spaces + Connecting People

RGO is passionate about building partnerships & inspiring spaces.

With expertise in Furnishings, Flooring, Window Coverings and Technologies, your new space will be created with trust, competency & efficiency.

In another article recently, I used the analogy that despite being out of the full clutches of the pandemic, it does still feel like we have a bit of a hangover and I do believe that is the way it does feel for many with good reason. On one hand we are busier but on the other we are weary. And yes, there are too many things going on in the world around us to be able to feel a true sense of stability.

I do suspect it will feel this way for some extended time. We have provincial Alberta elections in late May and Federal elections in 2025, with the constant threat of “maybe sooner”. Meanwhile, the global situation and inflation combined with the impact of U.S. policy is all part of a series of outside influences that will likely keep uncertainty front and centre for the foreseeable future.

If this is indeed the case, then moving forward with some degree of resolve is the only option. Sitting in hesitancy mode because we are waiting for something else to settle down before moving is unlikely to work and, if we do this, we will only get left behind.

Opportunity in Alberta is high with a busier energy sector, diversifying economy, and more opportunities than ever for our expertise to be put to work. In Calgary alone that means revitalizing downtown, building an entertainment district, constructing the largest transportation project in the city’s history all while responding to the built environment’s role in addressing the climate emergency – just to list a few.

There is no doubt that there are interesting times ahead for all in our industry in this next chapter for Calgary. As we head through this year and into 2024, which will be our very own 80th anniversary, you can rest assured that CCA will be there alongside each one doing all that we can to help make Calgary the best city in Canada to be in the Construction Industry.

Thank you for your continued support and best wishes in all your endeavours. u

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES

CALGARY CONSTRUCTION ASSOCIATION

ENGAGING OUR COMMUNITY TO BUILD BETTER

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.

As a membership­based 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 re­evaluate 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.

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.

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 postpandemic thing but this was not just any old typical strategic offsite session.

Maybe it was a post pandemic thing but this was not just any old typical strategic offsite session.

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES

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 executive at the Chick­fil­A 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 GCs

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 PLANS­ROOM 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 15­20%. 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 ­

-Overall 15%

-4.5% med-large size

But by far the biggest takeaway was the fact that across all categories –OVER 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.

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES

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.

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.

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.

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS

John Manes, CCA Chair

Although John Manes worked part­time for a local door and hardware company while attending the University of Alberta, he remained uncertain of his future career path. Born and raised in Calgary, he would pursue job opportunities over the next few years that took him to Regina, Saskatoon, and back to Edmonton before finally settling in his hometown once again.

“I moved back to Calgary in 1983 and got a job with a company called Spalding Hardware,” he explains. A job that took him from an entry­level position to corporate ownership within the span of 11 years.

“My partner, Ed Toy, and I bought the company in 1994,” says Manes. “Toy was based in Edmonton and I was in Calgary so it worked out well in that the company was headquartered in Calgary with a branch office in Edmonton.”

Back then, the co­owners each had more than a decade of experience working for Spalding Hardware. The business was primarily a distributor of general hardware supplies, with a small consultancy side also added to the mix.

Over time, Toy and Manes would shift and expand the business – becoming an actual subtrade – offering doors, frames, hardware and assemblies, along with access control and automation (card readers and security systems). The consultancy work grew as well. “We went from about 30 employees in 1994 to over 65 today,” says Manes, adding that the company also

tripled its revenue during that same period.

In 2019, Toy and Manes sold the company to a new group of individuals. Each of the four co­owners (one of which includes Manes’ son Josh) came from within the company and had over a decade of experience – a testament to the successful leadership of the company. “Both Toy and I have more of an advisory role today,” says Manes. “We’re here to help in whatever way we can.”

During his tenure at Spalding Hardware, Manes had long been active behind the scenes. He has held a variety of executive positions at various industry associations, including the Door and Hardware Institute of Canada, the Door and Hardware Institute, and the Door Security and Safety Foundation. He has also served on the Alberta Construction Association and the Calgary Construction Association.

“I always felt the need to give back a bit,” says Manes, who also speaks to the sense of accomplishment in working with different associations. He cites the non­profit Door Security and Safety Foundation as one example of how lobbying efforts spurred Code changes that enhanced school security measures in both Canada and the U.S.

“Working with different groups broadens your industry perspective, and it expands your network,” he says. “I have always learned a lot from my association work and met a lot of interesting people.”

Manes joined the CCA Board four years ago and during the past year he assumed the role of Chair and says he is concentrating on the CCA’s Strategic Plan. “My role is to help the Association stay focused on the Strategic Plan,” he says. “We need to keep everyone focused on achieving the same objectives laid out in the Plan.”

Having accomplished so much – both within Spalding Hardware and within the industry – Manes is the first to extol the virtues of working within the construction sector.

“There is a lot of satisfaction in being

able to mentor a new group of owners from within the company,” he says. “At the same time, there is a lot of satisfaction to be had from driving by a building and knowing that you played a role in the completion of that project.”

Having risen from an entry­level position to co­owner of a thriving and successful company, Manes’ advice to those considering a construction career is one earned from first­hand experience.

“The construction industry may not be considered ‘sexy’ but it’s the type of industry that generates a lot of satisfaction in what you do,” he concludes. “Don’t be intimidated by the fact that it requires some hard work. Instead, be driven by the fact that, like me, you can start at the bottom and work your way up to a role with a lot of responsibility. It’s an exciting but challenging time for the industry. And it’s one with plenty of doors of opportunity.” u

ADVOCACY

The Calgary Construction Association continues to raise the profile of our industry and engage our community to build better. We’ve focused on familiarizing ourselves with the policy environment in Calgary while creating key connections with stakeholders at the City of Calgary and the Government of Alberta.

To that end, we’ve developed key relationships with Calgary City Councillors, the Mayor’s Office, the Green Line LRT Board, and other key figures in City Administration on your behalf. We’ve also expanded our Provincial Advocacy and have connected

with various Members of the Legislature and provincial public service members at Alberta Infrastructure. Whether it be with the Mayor or the Premier, we’re working hard to ensure that your voice is heard!

Our advocacy efforts led us to develop key positions in major policy issues – we’re providing direct feedback on Calgary’s climate initiatives, the Green Line LRT project, public procurement in Alberta, and the need for skilled workers to address labour market shortages. Here are a few of the issues we’re advocating on.

Skilled Worker Shortage

The shortage of skilled construction workers is causing concerns about potential delays and increased costs in the local construction industry. Despite a growing demand for new homes and infrastructure projects, exasperated by record migration to the Calgary region, both commercial and residential builders are struggling to find enough workers to keep up with the pace of development.

The shortage is being attributed to several factors, including strong demand for record migration to the region, an aging workforce, and a lack of young people entering the industry. Many experienced construction

workers are retiring or are leaving the industry, causing a gap in the labour market.

The Calgary Construction Association

estimates that there are between 3,000­4,000 construction job vacancies in the Calgary region. Nationally, the number of con­

struction job vacancies is estimated at over 90,000.

To address these challenges, we advocated that the province protect and increase funding for increased apprentice enrollment at post­secondary institutions and associated capital and operational needs; implement recommendations of the Career Education Task Force to support the development of skilled trades interests among junior and senior high­school­aged students; and build on the Alberta is Calling campaign to attract women and workers from underrepresented groups, such as Indigenous people and newcomers, to skilled trades professions in Alberta.

Supply Chain, Lead Times, and Rise of Costs

Construction and building materials have seen challenges with lead times, availability, and commodity­driven price increases –leading to double­digit price spikes during and since the COVID­19 pandemic, driving up project and rebuilding costs.

While we have some settling down of lead times and availability, and the reduction of price volatility, we believe that this will continue to be an issue for some time. We believe that a return to pre­pandemic price levels and lead times is unlikely. Moreover, natural disasters, manufacturing and production setbacks, and logistical bottlenecks have impacted lead times and contributed to rising costs.

Public Procurement Practices at the Province and Risk-Pooling

Existing procurement practices have resulted in costly interruptions to capital projects and the adoption of increasingly untenable risk profiles for the industry. We called

on the government to improve alignment between Infrastructure Alberta, Alberta Treasury, Alberta Health Services, and Alberta Education procurement practices; and we advocated for the appointment of a ministerial task force on risk assessment with representation from both the Calgary Construction Association and our counterparts at the Edmonton Construction Association.

Buildout of the Culture and Entertainment District

We fully support the build­out of the culture and entertainment district anchored by the BMO Centre Expansion, new Event Centre, and Arts Commons Transformation. While these projects are important as they create jobs and economic activity for the local construction industry, the reality is

we are excited to see the development of a district that all Calgarians can be proud of. The build­out of a culture and entertainment district is important as it adds to the culture and social fabric of our city, promotes community building, and sets Calgary apart as a destination to live, work, and play.

Downtown Revitalization

The success of Calgary’s downtown is imperative to the success of our whole city. City documents show 28 potential empty office buildings have been identified that can be converted to residential space, students or seniors housing, or other uses. We support Calgary’s Greater Downtown Plan to attract vibrancy and investment in our downtown core and offer our voice to provide expertise and leadership in the retrofitting of old space, building and material standards, and more.

Proposed Calgary Fieldhouse Project

The Calgary Construction Association is keenly interested in Calgary City Council’s exploration work around the Foothills Athletic Park Redevelopment Plan. The cornerstone of this project is a proposed multisport fieldhouse that, for decades, Calgarians have longed for.

Further, the conceptual plan calls for a transformation of the area into a vibrant community that would include new athletic facilities, 2,500 residential units, commercial

and retail space, and renovations to McMahon Stadium.

While this project is important as the redevelopment of the Foothills Area will certainly create jobs and economic activity for the local construction industry, the reality is we are excited to see the development of a much­needed athletic and recreation district that all Calgarians can be proud of. Projects like the proposed Foothills Redevelopment are important as they contribute to the livability of the city.

EDUCATION

The CCA’s education program continues a transition back to in­person sessions. Interest has varied based on course content. A successful Site Leadership in­person session saw 21 attendees.

The CCA Christmas Social was typically hosted in the CCA space, and it was no surprise that the social outgrew our space. With a refreshed experience, we invited industry peers to celebrate the holiday season at The Commons at ATCO Park, and we closed out 2022 with 500 attendees.

So far, 2023 has started off busy with events! We held four events and three lean coffees on the calendar before the end of March. Meet the GC continues to be a member favourite with the first three of 2023 being sold out. We are excited to be expanding this series and launching our first ever “Meet the Developer” hosted at the offices of CCA member, Sprung Structures. The series will be further expanded into “Meet the Architect” and “Meet the Engineer” later in the year.

CCA also hosted its Inaugural Annual Premier’s Luncheon in March. We welcomed Premier Danielle Smith for a conversation with Calgary’s construction community along with over 250 members. This event was an opportunity for Calgary’s construction industry to engage with our community leaders and explore how we, as in industry, can be a resource in building the Calgary of the future.

We look forward to another year of events and networking with our community! If there are events that you think CCA should consider hosting, please reach out to Lena Hogarth at lenahogarth@cgyca.com. u

CCA 2022 TED WALDEN AWARD

A prestigious award recognizing unwavering commitment to the advancement of the construction industry and exceptional leadership in driving positive change.

The Calgary Construction Association was honoured to present Fabrizio Carinelli, President of CANA Construction, with the CCA Ted Walden Award at the 2022 CCA AGM & Banquet Dinner.

The CCA offers their most esteemed

award to exceptional individuals who have demonstrated extraordinary commitment and dedication to making a positive impact in the construction industry and with the CCA.

Carinelli’s dedication and passion for the industry has been inspirational, and his leadership has set an example for others to follow. He has played a pivotal role in fostering a sense of community within the in­

dustry, and his efforts have helped to bring people together and create a culture of collaboration and innovation.

“It’s very humbling and a tremendous honour given the history of the award and the past recipients, all of whom were pioneers in their own rights and great leaders in the industry,” says Carinelli. “To be part of that group is quite an honour.”

General Contracting and Project Management

Carinelli began his career as a project engineer at CANA Construction in 1995, and holds a professional engineer (P.Eng.) designation and Gold Seal Certification in project management. In 2012, he became the President of CANA, where he oversees all construction projects and mentors a team of emerging project directors and construction managers. His devotion to the construction industry is shown in his practical approach to working with his team, his active involvement with the CCA, and his ability to inspire and motivate those around him.

“The CCA has always had a special place in the city in terms of advocating for the industry and promoting engagement,” he says. “You get to a point when you don’t even hestitate to raise your hand to volun­

teer for an opportunity that helps benefit the industry and the city. It doesn’t really come as work, it comes more from a passion and I think that speaks for everyone working in this industry.”

Carinelli believes that being a part of the construction industry in many regards is about having a hand in creating communities. “Everything that we, as a society, use and rely on – hospitals, schools, recreation

centres, sports and cultural facilities – are all part of the fabric of a community. I feel fortunate and blessed that I can help contribute building a better community that is so critical in our city.”

Being open and accessible to others whether for a conversation, to answer a question, or to provide a different perspective is an essential part of the constrution community. Carinelli recalls entering the

Helping to Build a Sustainable Future

industry as a young engineer and the impact that some of his mentors had on him. “Having a mentor that you can talk to, whether through the work environment or from a volunteer perspective, is invaluable. There is no way I would be in the position am I at today without the mentorship I received or without the support of my family and the CANA organization,” he says. “It’s important to pay that back to those new to the industry because it’s a challenging environment that can be intimidating and stressful at times. Having people that support you is extremely important.”

When it came to receiving the award, which was presented to him by CCA President & COO Bill Black, Carinelli says he was taken by surprise.

“I didn’t see that one coming, it was pretty special,” he says. “There were so many people that I wanted to thank, certainly a lot of people who were important to me,. many of whom I have relied on throughout my career. It’s a tremendous honour to be recognized. It was a very special evening and I’m very thankful.”

Now

The CCA congratulates Carinelli on this well­deserved disticton of Ted Walden Award recipient. We are honored to have him as a leader in the construction industry, and we look forward to seeing the continued impact of his leadership in the years to come.

Ted Walden was a founding member of the original Calgary Builders Exchange in 1944, and he was the first chair of the exchange which later became known as the Calgary Construction Association in the 1960’s. The construction industry and the CCA has been built by people such as Ted Walden and they inspire those who will build it in the future. u

NOT JUST HAMMER AND NAILS (BUT IT COULD BE THAT TOO) Changing the construction career image

By Melanie Franner

Perception is, as they say, nine­tenths of the law. Or, in this case, perception is ninetenths of reality. And that reality is changing quickly.

Long gone are the days when a construction job equated to tedious labour. Today, a career in construction can be as diverse and exciting as the people themselves. Interested in travel? You can do it here. Drawn to hitech and digital innovations? Construction is the perfect place for you. Love to work with people? You will meet them here.

A career in construction offers a myriad of positions to satisfy almost any interest. It’s a lifelong experience of learning – one that can take you from sweeping the floors to

CEO – and we explore the careers of just a few local individuals who chose to pursue their career goals within the construction industry. Although each individual has a different story to tell, all of them speak to the privileges inherent in being a part of this exciting and dynamic industry.

STARTING FROM SCRATCH

Sebastien Couture started out in the construction industry in Quebec at the tender age of 16. His passion to “build things” was driven by the physical, tangible results produced. A summer visit out west opened his eyes to new opportunities and when his best friend moved to Calgary, Couture soon followed.

“I ended up doing almost everything,” he says. “Drywall, framing, insulation, supervisor, project manager, estimator. I worked in pretty much every role.”

Eventually, Couture and his friend decided to venture out on their own, and together with another friend, the three of them pooled their resources and came up with a $10,000 kitty. “We began estimating projects out of our living room,” recalls Couture.

The company took off growing at approximately 200 per cent per year and topping off at 300 employees. “We grew too quickly,” says Couture. “Our growth was not sustainable.” In 2018, the company almost went into receivership. “The other guys threw in

Scott White Jessie Mazzel (Bamfield) Sebastian Couture Tyler Bungay Ian Reid Bill Black

the towel in early 2019 but I still believed in the company,” says Couture. “A lot of people had supported us and trusted us.”

At the time, the company had racked up a considerable amount of outstanding debt with suppliers. It was a tough row to hoe, but the business eventually paid the suppliers.

Today, that same company that started out in the living room in 2010 is one of

Calgary’s most successful commercial drywallers. Allied Contractors now employs approximately 100 people who work on multi­million­dollar projects across the city.

Couture, President of Allied Contractors, remains on good terms with his previous business partners, and he says he has never doubted his decision to keep fighting to save the company. “I really love and believe in the Allied team.”

TECH SAVVY

After graduating from SAIT’s Building Mechanical Technology program in 1999, Tyler Bungay had three main career options open to him: equipment manufacturing, engineering, and construction. “Construction seemed the most dynamic to me,” says Bungay. “I thought it was a good opportunity because I saw it as including a part of all three options.”

Bungay began as a junior estimator with Botting & Associates, a leading mechanical construction contractor servicing Western Canada.

“What I really love about this industry is that it is so challenging – professionally and personally,” he says. “If you’re not constantly learning, then opportunity is going to pass you by. My career in construction forced me to be on my toes at all times.”

Bungay describes one of his most exciting roles as being an estimator. In fact, he considers it to be the backbone of the office at Botting & Associates. “In order to be a good estimator, you need to have a really good understanding of the construction industry as a whole, as well as a global understanding of economic factors,” he explains. “You need to take all of that information into consideration. For me, estimating was the real education point.”

Another significant part of Bungay’s career satisfaction has derived from the people he has met over the years. “You get to work with the best people,” he says. “There’s a team approach when you’re working on a project. It’s all about collaboration and having a common goal.”

Bungay had always aspired to become a leader when he started out with Botting & Associates, and he went on to become President of the company in 2015. “In construction, there are always two constants you need to remember,” he says. “Teamwork

and the right people with the right values are a must in order to be a successful construction business. And nothing ever goes as planned so be adaptable. Everything is constantly changing. That’s what makes it so interesting.”

PEOPLE PERSON

Ian Reid worked part­time in construction while completing school in Calgary, so

it seemed like a natural fit to continue after graduation. He attained his journeyman certificate and then completed the University of Calgary’s Construction Management Certificate program.

“I started full time as a labourer in 1991,” he recalls. “I found it physically challenging and really enjoyed the toughness of the job. Plus, it paid really well.”

Although the physical challenges and

the pay may have been what attracted Reid to the industry, it was the people and relationships that kept him tied to it. “I love the challenging nature of the work and the people you get to meet,” he says. “Every project has a new team. And all of you work together with the same goal of completing the project in the best way you can.”

The rewarding nature of the work led Reid to a variety of roles, one of which was Manager at Bird Construction, a 100+ year old construction company with offices across the country. “I really enjoyed the process of developing talent, and identifying and then mentoring people,” he says, adding that he joined the company in 1989.

That work continued throughout his tenure beyond Bird Construction. “It’s been so interesting to work with industry associations and to gain knowledge of how our industry fits within the global economy and political landscape of our society,” he says.

Reid retired from Bird Construction in 2022 as Vice President of Strategic Pursuits. During his illustrious career, Reid has developed numerous long­standing friendships that remain in place today.

He has also been fortunate to have worked in many different locations, including Toronto, Vancouver, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, Red Deer, Edmonton, Banff, and Victoria. And he has overseen projects all across western Canada.

“The construction industry has really changed over the years,” he concludes, pointing to technology as just one example of this change. “Technology has advanced at record speeds. I think it will help our industry and provide great opportunities for the next generations.”

cian. A friend of his has promised to get him a job so White abandoned his study of Electronics Engineering Technology (which he wasn’t loving anyway) and made the move to Calgary. He and a mate were both up for the same position. His mate got it.

“I pounded the streets of Calgary for about three months,” recalls White. “I was ready to go home when I found and applied to a newspaper ad for a labourer with Western Electrical.”

That opportunity turned into a long­term career. And, in 2014, White bought into the company. “I never dreamed this would be possible,” he says. “Back in the day, I was hesitant to move from the field to the office.”

White has held a variety of positions during his tenure at Western Electrical. As an apprentice and journeyman, he loved the sense of accomplishment. As a foreman, he loved running projects. And through it all, he loved building relationships.

“From sitting on boards and getting to know other people in the industry to working on the business side where you deal with staff, vendors, and clients, it’s like being a part of a huge family,” he says.

White’s initial interest in technology has served him well over the years, as the construction industry moves forward with the times. “Technology has advanced considerably,” he says. “We’re now using more advanced software for safety, estimating, and project management. We’re using BIM technology and Bluebeam software, which have enabled our people in both the field and office to use more electronic devices and significantly less paper.”

Today, White speaks to the many exciting prospects available in construction. “There are so many different possibilities when it comes to construction careers,” he says. “As a journeyman, you can travel all over Canada or all over the world, and make good money doing it. Starting with a trade can open so many other doors as well, including working in sales, management, engineering, or having your own business. The opportunities are limitless.”

DYNAMIC INVOLVEMENT

Move Over Metal

When Jessie Mazzei (Bampfield) entered SAIT’s Architecture Tech program in 2012, she quickly realized that it wasn’t quite the fit she was looking for.

“The program was more drafting oriented than I had anticipated,” she recalls. “I knew after my first year that I needed something more dynamic, something where I would interact more with people.”

So, she chose Building Development Technology (BDT) and construction management as her specialization during her last semester. “I was hired in 2014 immediately after school by Ferguson Corporation as a project co­ordinator,” she says. “I started on

the Calgary airport facility project so it was pretty fast­paced right from the get go.”

But Mazzei was in her element. “It was awesome,” she says. “It was very dynamic. No two days were the same.”

Today, Mazzei is a project manager and her rise has been accompanied with larger, more complex projects. “My goal was always to get into project management,” she says. “I love the community of our industry, that most of us come from humble beginnings, and that there is so much opportunity for change with this next generation of leaders.”

As a young female coming into the industry, Mazzei often found herself the lone woman on the job site. But any hesitancy evaporated over time, and she hopes to one day be a mentor herself to other young women embarking on their careers.

“There is a huge shift underway in the industry right now,” she says. “A lot of people are retiring and there are a lot of new opportunities opening up. Some pretty exciting projects are happening in this city right now and I feel so fortunate to be working in this industry at this time.”

Mazzei has a lot of like­minded friends in the industry, people she has met – and maintained friendships with – from her work with the CCA’s Young Construction Leaders Committee. “I still meet up with people from the Committee to talk about our jobs and personal lives,” she says. “It’s such a small industry that you really get to know everybody.”

Another area where Mazzei sees a lot of change taking place is technology. “I think technology has been more widely used in some of the larger general contracting companies, but I think there is a shift now to where it is getting adopted at mid­sized and small companies,” she says. “I think we’ll see

big changes when these groups fully embrace it. It’s going to be really exciting. We’re not talking about two or three technologies being integrated into this industry. We’re talking hundreds.”

Mazzei’s vision of the future is one best characterized by the word “revolution”. She sees big change for the construction industry, shaped in large part by the continuing influx of technology and diversity.

“My advice to anyone considering a career in construction is to come on in,” she says. “Shape it to what you want it to be and then ride the wave.”

A FAMILY TRADITION

Born into a fourth­generation construction family, Bill Black knew very early on that he would follow suit. He also knew he wanted to leave Edinburgh, Scotland. So he

went to school and became a quantity surveyor and bided his time.

“I always had aspirations to move and I really liked the North American way of life,” says Black.

A visit to Toronto in 1987 was soon followed by a visit to Calgary in 1991, and Black was sold. At the age of 27, he packed up his guitar and a suitcase full of clothes and moved to Calgary with $500 in his pocket. “I had some friends here who supported me while I looked for work,” recalls Black. “It was still recessionary times back then so it took me a while.”

Eventually, Black found a job. But it was in Edmonton. He accepted the position anyway. His adjournment in Edmonton lasted a few years before he found work as an estimator with a commercial roofing company that would bring him back to the city he loved.

Over the years, Black has worked at a variety of companies in various positions. He also co­authored a book, ran his own consultancy firm, and eventually became CEO of a major masonry company.

“I would say that the most formative period in my entire career was during the 13 years I spent with a major commercial office interior firm,” says Black. “I spent a tremendous amount of time travelling around North America and I dealt with very sophisticated organizations and businesses that are household names. That’s where I learned about things like sustainability, culture, and branding. It became a constant learning curve for me.”

At the time, Black was going on 35 to 40 trips a year. “I was living in airports,” he says. “It was the best job in the world but I had no life. And I knew I was going to burn out.”

Today, Black is President of the Calgary Construction Association (CCA); a role

that he was initially reluctant to take on but one he has since come to relish.

“Most people would probably see just about every move I took in my career as high risk,” he says. “But I trusted my instincts. Every opportunity I got was because I met somebody or learned something from people I got to know in the industry.”

As President of the CCA, Black was most recently responsible for interviewing the Premier of Alberta during a business lunch of 250 colleagues. In February of this year, Black was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medal for the work he has done on behalf of the industry.

“Here I am in 2023 learning a whole new skillset,” he says. “One of the great things about this industry is that you don’t have to have it all mapped out. There are so many ways to participate.”

LIMITLESS OPPORTUNITIES

From the satisfaction you derive when driving by a building you’ve worked on, the thrill of using leading­edge technology to implement an architectural masterpiece, or the camaraderie you experience while collaborating on a multi­million­dollar project – the construction industry offers endless opportunities.

“I think this industry shapes you as an individual, not just professionally,” concludes Black. “A lot of what you do makes a difference. If you have something to offer that is of value to your business and customers, this industry allows you to explore it. If you follow through, you become a better version of yourself – and a really good mentor to others.”

One last piece of advice from experienced construction veteran Black,“Be less worried about where you start because it will not dictate where you end up.” u

CREATING A COMMUNITY Building University District block by block

By Melanie Franner

When the decision was made at the University of Calgary (UCalgary) to transform a vacant 200­acre parcel of land into a vibrant and exciting urban community, it was the start of a long and methodical process still underway to this day.

UCalgary began this massive undertaking in 2010 by creating a separate entity to oversee the development of what would eventually become known as University District (U/D).

U/D was envisioned to be an entirely new, self­sufficient community, replete with a mix of housing options – condo, rental, hotel, retirement – and an impressive array of amenities and entertainment venues to satisfy

the needs of its community members.

Overlooking the Bow River and Rocky Mountains, U/D offers close proximity to the UCalgary, the Alberta Children’s Hospital, and the Foothills Medical Centre making it a prime location for students, professionals, and families alike.

Today, University of Calgary Properties Group Ltd. (UCPG) (formerly West Campus Development Corporation) is well on its way to achieving its goal of creating this new community. Already, the 13th project in U/D is slated for fall 2024 occupancy, and the work continues.

“We have set forth a completion date of 2034 to create a mindful community that

is complete, vibrant, and sustainable,” says Maureen Henderson, Vice President, Community Experience, UCPG, adding that U/D has been designed to be environmentally sound, socially responsible, and financially solid over the long term. Each building in the U/D is LEED ND­Platinum certified and each building must achieve a minimum LEED Built Green Gold certification.

One of the first developments to rise from the ground in U/D was Aria, a five­storey building with 288 purpose­built rental units (and two guest suites) along with ground floor retail.

The building sits on the Retail Main Street (University Avenue), with a Save­On­Foods

grocery store anchoring the retail offerings. Other establishments include a bank, pet store, hair salon, and barbershop, along with a 24­hour childcare facility.

The building features a two­level underground parkade, along with bike storage, bike wash, and a dog wash area. Renters have access to amenities such as a fitness

centre, event kitchen, flex room, lounge area and games room, as well as a landscaped outdoor courtyard that features a fire pit, outdoor lounge/grilling station, bocce ball, pickle ball, dog run, and even a converted Airstream trailer for catering and event rentals.

“The building was constructed in two phases,” says Sean Bolter, Senior Project Manager/Operations Manager, Graham Construction. “We started on phase one, or the west side of the building, which also included the parkade and retail, in April 2018 and finished in July 2020.”

Phase two residential began as soon as the structural work on Phase one was completed, and it completed in January 2021.

“It was an interesting project because of the combination retail, residential, and upgraded amenities built in,” says Bolter, who added that the project went smoothly for the most part.

“The pandemic hit right in the middle of construction,” he says. “We navigated it pretty well by rerouting some logistics onsite, adding masking and sanitizing procedures, and maintaining a registered nurse onsite. Fortunately, we were well into the build, so we didn’t encounter any procurement issues.”

Despite the pandemic, Aria was completed on time with no major surprises along the way.

For Bolter, the build was memorable for many reasons. “This project was a little different because we worked with Gracorp and UCPG, both having different stakes in the project,” he says. “UCPG owned the retail portion of the building so there were a lot of meetings and conversations that had to take place, ensuring the needs were met of both parties. The collaboration ensured that everyone was on the right page, which is what you want to happen with a project.”

Bolter also connected with this project on a more personal level. “It’s really exciting to be involved in a brand­new community,” he says. “Aria is one of the main focal points of University District. It is very gratifying to know you worked on it and that you contributed to this vibrant new community. We had an incredible team.”

Of course, no new community would be complete without pathways, walkways, and public spaces for its residents. UCPG took this into consideration when they commissioned the design of Central Commons Park

Entrance to the Block 23 parkade, nicknamed “The Jewel”.

– one of nine parks currently proposed for the new community.

The three­acre park has been designed to be the heart of U/D. It features a winter skating rink with a cooling system (which can be removed in the summer), a staging area for concerts, picnic area with tables and BBQ pits, a water feature, interactive play feature, patio space, public washroom and showers

for bike commuters, public plaza, and underground parking.

Central Commons Park was built concurrently with Block 23. The latter consists of a four­storey west building containing mixeduse office and ground floor retail space, and a five­storey east building with offices, restaurants, retail space, and a five­theatre Cineplex VIP Cinema. Adjacent to the cinema

is a two­level restaurant, The Canadian Brewhouse, complete with two outdoor patios.

The west and east buildings are interconnected by a one­level underground parkade that is also connected to the neighbouring Aria building.

“One of the more striking architectural components of Block 23 is the entrance to the parkade, which has come to be nick­

named “The Jewel’,” says Drew Woods, Project Manager, Graham Construction. “It is a fully glazed skylight assembly that houses the stairwell leading to the underground parkade.”

Another key component of Block 23 is the Borough Bar + Grill, which features a 4,500­square­foot dining room and an outdoor patio overlooking Central Commons Park.

“We started Block 23 and Central Commons Park at the end of 2019,” says Woods. “And three months later, the world shut down. It took dedication and perseverance from the project team to ensure the vision became reality.”

Of course, Woods is happy to have been a member of that team. “It was really exciting to get involved on a project like this,” he says. “I remember looking at the master plan

We Believe in Building with a Purpose

before we got started and being amazed at how a barren space was going to be transformed into a living and breathing residential district. It has been a really interesting two years. It was very challenging but very rewarding as well.”

Block 15 is one of the newest builds to U/D. It is the combination of two upcoming residential projects: The Forge, which will be the third residential rental project in U/D, with 92 units above a retail podium on ground level; and an as yet­to­be­named project between Gracorp Properties and Harrison Street. This latter structure is U/D’s fourth rental project and the largest to date.

The latter residential structure will house 303 rental units spread between an eightstorey mid­rise and a 16­storey tower. The two will be connected by a common podium and two and half floors of secure, underground heated parking.

Some of the features of the new build include EV charging stations, secure bicycle storage, dedicated parcel room, fitness facility study space, lounge space, and a communal rooftop patio with dedicated grill area and fire pits.

The developers broke ground in January 2023, and the ompletion date is expected to be August 2025.

“We will reach a milestone moment in a couple of months when we reach the bottom of the parkade excavation,” says Dale Reimer, Senior Development and Construction Manager, Gracorp. “We will be going down 13 metres below grade, which is the deepest yet in University District.”

Reimer estimates that some 35,000 cubic metres of earth will have to be removed to accommodate the parkade. The total amount of concrete to be poured for the parkade will be approximately 15,000 cubic metres. One pour alone will be 1,700 cubic metres.

Like others involved in building within U/D, Reimer is enthused to be part of the team. “This has already become such an exciting and vibrant community,” he enthuses. “There are a lot of people who want the amenities of downtown without living in downtown. University District delivers that. Plus,

it’s become a really exciting place to work.”

Already, U/D is fast becoming the vibrant community envisioned so many years ago. Residents can choose from a range of housing options to take advantage of a growing list of amenities, recreational spaces, and entertainment venues. It truly is a place to call home.

In 2022, U/D was the national winner of the Canadian Home Builders’ Association (CHBA) Award for Best Growing Community – a proud testament to the many people who helped make it a reality.

“We are creating an inclusive community where people can thrive,” concludes Henderson. “These projects provide an intersection between living, playing, and working. Everything is within steps of each building, and the lifestyle these projects provide will give individuals and families more time to do the things they love and less time commuting.” u

IT’S TIME TO CHANGE THE WAY WE INVEST IN INFRASTRUCTURE

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

TRADE-ENABLING INFRASTRUCTURE MUST BE PRIORITIZED

Canada West Foundation’s (CWF) “From Shovel Ready to Shovel Worthy” report, published in 2022, found that disjointed, politicized approaches to funding our trade infrastructure is harming Canada’s global reputation as an investment destination and trading partner.

Governments are too often tempted to invest in “shovel ready” projects that lack strategic value and ignore routine maintenance on roads that thousands of Albertans rely

on every day. The CWF report concludes that ad hoc infrastructure funding tied to annual budget and/or election cycles is a poor infrastructure investment strategy.

In our submission to the Alberta Budget 2023 consultation, we asked government to abandon its ad hoc funding approach and commit to predictable and sustainable investments in Alberta’s public infrastructure. Our association believes this is essential to not only support our economy, but also to protect our highways from further deterioration.

While it is only right to be appreciative of the influx in infrastructure spending in this year’s budget, it is disappointing to see CWF’s concerns about cyclical funding play out – with significant cuts to infrastructure spending projected for future years.

Albertans support investments in highways because they create jobs and benefit the economy. And yet, the province’s own data shows that a decade of deferring repairs has created a costly infrastructure deficit that looms large for the taxpayer and threatens our road network’s economic and safety performance.

What needs to happen is simple. Our government must provide predictability and stability in funding. However, just as importantly, they also need to fix the broken procurement model.

Over the past decade, governments have become overly sensitive to criticism of reasonable cost escalation. This has resulted in an increased reliance on procurement models that offer cost certainty, such as design­

build­finance­operate­maintain (DBFOM) public­private procurement mode. However, shifting the owners’ risk to the design engineer and contractors comes at a premium price.

Governments must be prepared to pay this premium cost or stop, retool programs, and accept the oft­stated goal of allocating risk to the party most capable of managing each specific risk. Including maintenance

and financing in procurement can work well in some circumstances, but as Alberta found out last summer on the Deerfoot Trail Freeway Program, it can predicably fail when owners ignore warning of cost premiums due to the design of the RFP.

Albertans deserve a more nimble, efficient, economical, responsible, and transparent system of approving, budgeting, and procurement that will ensure that failures, such as the Deerfoot Trail Freeway Program cancellation, will not be repeated. We need to return to a business model of partnership where all parties invest in communication and relationships so that government decisions are fully informed.

FINDING SOLUTIONS

In addition to highlighting issues that need addressing, the ARHCA has spent considerable time and effort contemplating solutions.

Our research paper called “The Case for an Alberta Highway Trust Company” not only documents the problems, but also offers a solution. In our proposal, the trust company would have funding guaranteed by contract with the government and sufficient scheduling and procurement independence to achieve outcomes based on engineering determinants rather than annual budget surprises and election cycles. The trust company would strive to be a superior, preferred client. One that is a knowledgeable owner, understands and accepts owners’ risk, provides reliable vision, and plans that incentivizes suitable industry investment in people and equipment.

ARHCA is proposing the creation of the trust company as a vehicle to provide financial stability necessary for efficient management of Alberta’s $70­billion highway asset. This arms­length provincial corporation would create and deliver on a transparent highway improvement plan and project list

“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.

based on engineering determinants. The current procurement and project management employees from Alberta Transportation could staff the new corporation to ensure knowledge transfer. The Alberta Highway Trust Company would publish a priority list, as well as a long term 20­year strategy with a rolling three to five­year detailed plan.

What makes our proposal unique is that

the trust company would have a contract with the government as “owner” for annual payments to fund the plan approved by the government. Guided by a government­appointed board, the trust company would be accountable to the owner but keep politics out of its day­to­day decisions. This model will allow procurement methods and schedules that encourage industry to invest, innovate, and compete for the privilege of building Alberta.

Lastly, as a business with a long­term contract, the trust company could issue bonds to Albertans who want to invest in Alberta’s infrastructure. Government could also invest intermittent resource windfall revenues in the trust company to protect Albertans from future tax increases to pay for future repairs. Too often, public discussion of funding roads gets sideswiped by talk of toll roads. There are other options, and Albertans are proven leaders in developing innovative financial approaches to problems.

The ARHCA Alberta Highway Trust Company policy paper is available at fixourroads.com. This approach addresses the key concerns of ARHCA members in providing reliable and consistent funding, transparently communicating a­list infrastructure projects, and offering a fair procurement process.

Albertans deserve better than deteriorating roads and projects that can’t pass go because of procurement red tape. But to do better, serious changes lie ahead. u

THE LAST DAYS OF CONTINGENT PAYMENTS

Pay-when-paid clauses and the PPCLA

By Lauren M. Toreson, Arsham Gill, and Anna Kosa

On August 29, 2022, the Prompt Payment and Construction Lien Act, RSA 2000, c P­26.4 (the “PPCLA”) came into force. The PPCLA changed the law governing the construction industry with the imposition of mandated timelines for payments of invoices. As such, there has been debate whether these timelines render “pay­when­paid” clauses ineffective. “Pay­when­paid” clauses stipulate that a contractor will only pay a subcontractor’s invoice upon receipt of payment from the owner.

The Alberta Court of King’s Bench decision in Canadian Pressure Testing Technologies Ltd v. EllisDon Industrial Inc. (“Canadian Pressure”) involved a dispute where a services agreement was enacted prior to the PPCLA coming into force.1

BACKGROUND

Canadian Pressure Testing Technologies Ltd. (the “Subcontractor”) entered into a subcontract with EllisDon Industrial Inc. (the “General Contractor”) to provide pressure testing services on a petrochemical plant (the “Services Agreement”). The General Contractor paid the Subcontractor’s monthly invoices except for one final invoice totaling $98,301.00. The General Contractor asserted there was no requirement to make payment until it was paid by the project owner (the “Owner”).

The General Contractor relied on clause 5.3 of the Services Agreement: 5.3 [General Contractor] shall pay to the [Subcontractor] monthly progress payments

net of any applicable Holdback and such payments shall become due and payable no later than five (5) business days after [General Contractor] receives payment pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Prime Contract from the Owner in respect of such Services...

(the “Clause”)

The Subcontractor initiated legal proceedings against the General Contractor, seeking payment on the final invoice, and applied for summary judgment. The General Contractor at the same time was involved in a larger ongoing legal dispute over payments with the Owner, so they argued that the Clause constituted a valid pay­when­paid clause.

The Subcontractor argued that the Ser­

vices Agreement established the overall obligation to pay, so the Clause merely fixed an outside date to make payment and therefore functioned as a “pay no later than” clause.

INTERPRETATION OF THE CLAUSE

The Court concluded that the Clause failed to provide the clear, specific, and unambiguous language necessary to constitute an enforceable pay­when­paid clause.

The Court highlighted that “any provision

intended to diminish or remove the subcontractor’s right to be paid should clearly state that and set out the circumstances in which the subcontractor will not be paid following the completion of his work.”2

PPCLA TO REDUCE UNCERTAINTY

The PPCLA removes the ability for contractors to withhold payments via pay­whenpaid clauses if payment of a proper invoice has been received by a contractor. Instead,

contractors must rely on section 32.3 of the PPCLA to issue a notice of non­payment to subcontractors if the owner defaults on payment obligations.

Where an owner disputes an invoice from the contractor, they must provide a notice of dispute pursuant to section 32.2(2). Contractors may thereafter withhold payment to the subcontractors by following the requirements in section 32.3(5). The contractor must provide the subcontractor the following:

• A notice of non­payment within seven days of receiving a notice of dispute;

• An undertaking to refer the matter to adjudication under the PPCLA within 21 days; and

• A copy of any notice of dispute.

EMPLOY STRUCTURED STRATEGIES TO ENHANCE SITE SAFETY

By Charles A. Beckley, CIP, M.A, CAIB (Hons), Commercial Account Executive – Construction Specialty Practice, HUB International Limited

The rate of construction in Canada continues to rise, with investment in commercial building up 1.5 per cent in 2023 and expenditures in residential building up nearly 4 per cent. But with this increase in construction comes a rise in risk: floods, fire, theft, and vandalism on sites cause big losses each year.

Through strategic planning — and human and technological assists — contractors can reduce their exposure to fire, water, and theft events. By checking all of the

safety and security boxes, companies will not only protect their assets and workers, but they will position themselves to secure Course of Construction (COC) insurance at the best cost and coverage.

STOP-THE-SPILL STRATEGIES

Water damage events continue to plague the construction industry. Whether it’s a leaky pipe, malfunctioning sprinkler systems, or Mother Nature, these incidents account for nearly a third of all construction

losses and cost insurers about $2 billion a year.

The water damage mitigation requirements of insurers vary significantly, but to become a best­in­class risk, construction companies need to create in­depth, detailed water control policies that include detection solutions, response plans, and remediation.

Effective plans will revolve around physical and mechanical intervention. This could include a security guard trained to identify water intrusion or flow detection devices

that automatically shut off the water supply if activated.

More insurers now require policyholders to invest in Internet of Things (IoT) solutions where sensors monitor detect and warn of water issues in real time.

PROMOTE FIRE PREVENTION

Fire is another ever­present construction risk. Frame buildings are particularly vulnerable during construction. Heat, flame, and sparks generated from tasks such as welding and grinding can smolder and quickly escalate to a blaze resulting in a total loss. Flammable solvents can also cause a small flame to escalate quickly.

Arson is another significant threat, particularly during framing when a building lacks firewalls or sprinklers to slow the spread or quench a flame.

While COC policies cover fire losses, insurers are increasingly requiring policyholders to develop sophisticated fire prevention plans. These plans should cover safety

procedures for fueling, preventive maintenance with documented repair histories, combustibles storage protocols, hot­work permit requirements, fire watches, and strict smoking restrictions.

Regular site inspections should be conducted, and firefighting water and flame extinguishing supplies should be readily available. Workers and security guards also should have basic firefighter training.

Implementing technological solutions, such as infrared cameras and monitoring systems, is another good way to prevent a fire loss.

STRATEGIZE TO SAFEGUARD SITES

Heavy equipment, power tools, and expensive materials and supplies, including copper tubing and lumber, make construction sites an attractive target for crime. In fact, some insurers state that reports of theft make up more than a third of all their construction claims. Contractors lose an average of $45 million annually from construc­

tion site theft, and only about a quarter of stolen equipment is ever recovered.

The more planning and construction site safeguards a company puts in place, the more protected a site will be from crime, and the more easily COC coverage can be secured. At a minimum, sites need motionactivated, high­powered lighting, warning signage, and sturdy fencing around the site.

Implementing IoT security cameras that conduct real­time monitoring and maintaining around­the­clock security personnel also are effective deterrents.

Creating a tailored safety and security policy may take effort but finding the right partners can help protect your construction site and your workers. Contact HUB International’s construction insurance experts to learn more about protecting your construction site and how we can help. u

CELEBRATING MILESTONES WITH THREE CALGARY COMPANIES

Cana Group of Companies, Office Concepts, and Walker Lawson Interior Design mark important anniversaries

By Lisa Kopochinski

The construction industry can be a challenge for many companies to navigate with project delays, cost overruns, labour shortages, and more. When companies are able to survive, thrive, and endure challenging times, celebrating every victory is important.

Three Calgary­based companies have

reached major milestones in the construction industry including the CANA Group of Companies that reached its 80th year in business in 2022, Office Concepts who celebrates their 20th anniversary this year, and Walker Lawson Interior Design who also is celebrating 20 years in business this year.

CANA GROUP OF COMPANIES

The CANA Group of Companies—which consists of CANA Construction, CANA Renew, CANA Energy, and Shepard Development—are definitely stars on the Western Canada construction scene.

It all started in 1942 when Burns and Dutton Concrete and Construction Company was founded by Red Dutton, Reg Jennings, and Bob Burns. In 1970, Burns and Dutton became CANA Construction.

CANA has built its solid reputation on providing honest, quality work, with a focus on its clients and providing efficient and effective construction strategies and solutions. Over the years, the company has developed a reputation for delivering projects safely, on budget, and on schedule.

CANA Group has been a proud member of Canada’s 50 Best Privately Managed Companies since 2002 and received Platinum membership status in 2008. The Simpson family has owned and managed the CANA Group for more than five decades. Today the

company more than 230 employees.

Fabrizio Carinelli, President at CANA Construction, says the company’s longevity can be attributed to its relationships and focus on their clients, many of which are repeat customers with decades­long relationships across Western Canada.

“CANA has seen many challenges over its 80­plus years—from economic downturns and labour shortages to a global pandemic and adapting to an ever­changing landscape.

At our core, we are a relationship­based organization invested in our customer’s success to improve the community in which we live and work.”

By providing key infrastructure, and complex cultural, sport and healthcare facilities, and providing work in commercial, residential, and institutional sectors, CANA has made an impact on the Alberta landscape. They have demonstrated the company’s commitment to building to the highest standard.

One sector that is within the CANA culture is sport. From its involvement and support of Spruce Meadows, the Markin MacPhail Athletic and Ice Complex, community rinks, and University of Calgary Speed Skating Oval. In addition, CANA has been involved in many upgrades and renovations to the Saddledome, perhaps none more challenging than the devastation of the flood in 2013.

“The 2013 flood filled the Saddledome with over 30 million gallons of water as high as Row 10 and destroyed the entire Event Level,” says Carinelli. “The task to restore the building was something that would normally have taken a year of planning and execution. Through the dedication of many men and women, we had over 2,000 workers on the site working 24/7 to completely restore the building and had it ready for hockey in just 69 days.”

CANA has been involved for years on the planning for a new Calgary Event Centre to replace the aging Saddledome. The company has also received several awards and recognitions—most notably the Canadian Construction Association’s Hugh R. Montgomery Award for Innovation in Construction.

CANA has built many iconic projects across Western Canada, inlcuding the National Music Centre, Suncor Energy Centre, Calgary Courts Centre, West LRT, Taylor Centre for the Performing Arts (Mount Royal Conservatory and Bella Concert Hall), TELUS Convention Centre, Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame, ATCO Park, Hyatt Hotel, TELUS Spark, and McMahon Stadium.

The company also has many exciting and high­profile projects in progress and on the horizon, some of which include: the Rockyview General Hospital redevelopment; Airdrie Library and multi­use facility; Greystone Co­op Cochrane Development; YW Sheriff King redevelopment; and the Glenmore Athletic Park Twin Arena redeveloperment.

As for what’s next for the company, Carinelli says “CANA is poised to continue to be a leader in the industry based on integrity, reliability, and competence. The world is changing rapidly, and we want to continue to embrace change and support our people

who have the talent and passion to deliver exceptional client experiences while building a better future together.”

As for what’s next for the company, Carinelli says “CANA is poised to continue to be a leader in the industry based on integrity, reliability, and competence. The world is changing rapidly, and we want to continue to embrace change and support our people who have the talent and passion to deliver exceptional client experiences while building a better future together.”

OFFICE CONCEPTS

This year marks the 20th anniversary of Office Concepts, a Calgary­based service company that provides floor­to­ceiling commercial interior solutions to a wide range of markets.

Founded in 2003, the company and its re­

sources have grown so quickly that founder Jeff Hallock has expanded the Office Concepts offering to include contract floorings. The company is also celebrating its 10th year anniversary as a preferred Haworth dealer. Haworth is a design and manufacturer of office furniture, moveable walls, and solutions to creating inspiring workplaces.

When asked what he believes to be the main reason for Office Concept’s longevity, Hallock says it’s the company’s “Service First” mentality.

“When we began, I knew we had to do something to differentiate ourselves from our competition which—at the time—were much larger and more established than ourselves. We like to say that we run a firehall when it comes to service. You can sell just about anything, but if the service isn’t there, the company will not succeed.”

When Hallock started Office Concepts two decades ago, he took all of his previous experiences from working for other dealerships and suppliers and turned them into a company that he thought could succeed.

“Taking advantage of these past experiences has proven to be invaluable. We currently have 28 team members and continue to grow!”

The company is also filling a niche in the Calgary market as it supports commercial businesses with what Hallock says is unparalleled customer service and unmatched expertise in addition to its full compliment of products including demountable walls, flooring, and furniture that makes it a onestop­shop for clients.

He says their clients are notable and have had significant projects which is what makes the industry so interesting. “The dynamics

are ever­changing, and we have built longlasting relationships with our clients over the past 20 years, and for that I am grateful.”

Some of those clients include Gowlings WLG, WestJet, SHAW Communications, Petronas, TMX, and Olds College. One especially notable project the team recently completed was for Dentons LLP with the Haworth enclosed demountable walls.

“We had some upfront supply chain challenges when we started the project, but we worked together with our client, Jerilyn Wright & Associates, Govan Brown, Haworth, and our OC team to deliver and execute one of the most stunning projects to date,” says Hallock. “We are very proud of the

end result!”

Another project the Office Concepts team is working on is providing TransAlta with a complete Haworth demountable wall and furniture solution that will create a final space that Hallock calls outstanding.

This project spans over five floors and approximately 100,000 square feet providing a new working environment for more than 500 employees.

Office Concepts is also redesigning it own offices and doing a complete revamping of its showroom to include the latest and greatest Haworth products.

“We should be complete in early June, and it will be a great transformation to take

us further into the future and better support our clients, colleagues, and our people. Combined with our new website this will conclude a complete rebranding of Office Concepts.”

In its 20 years of business, the company— with many of its achievements—has not been without its challenges.

“The pandemic was without a doubt the most challenging time we’ve had,” recalls Hallock. “Just like most companies, our people worked harder than ever, dealing with some supply change challenges and, therefore, frustrated clients.”

And, like many other companies, the staff were all working from home and on Microsoft Teams.

“Our business is very collaborative, and we excel when we work together, whether just our internal teams or with our colleagues and clients. We recognize now the synergies that working together brings under one roof, and we are glad to be back together again. I couldn’t be prouder of how our team adjusted and adapted so quickly to the situation.”

As for what the next three to five years holds for Office Concepts, Hallock doesn’t miss a beat. “Growth! Nobody gets into business to get smaller. Our leadership team has made some big changes this past year and we are looking forward to serving more clients with better service than even before. I truly believe we have the best team in town, and we are excited about the future!”

Walker Lawson earned a coveted MASI Award for the design of Brownlee LLP’s new offices. The design result is an efficient, functional office space that reflects the changing employee demographic as well as the stability and history of the firm.

The design of this new 8,000-sq.-ft. conference facility for The Ampersand office tower in Calgary resulted in a completely new look with a unique “hospitality” vibe for this key amenity space,.

WALKER LAWSON INTERIOR DESIGN

Walker Lawson Interior Design Inc., a Calgary­based licensed commercial interior design firm is also celebrating its 20th anniversary this year.

Jane Lawson started Walker Lawson Interior Design Inc. in 2003 after two decades of experience with several leading design firms in Canada. Her projects included the Official Residences and Chanceries for our Canadian Embassies abroad, office spaces for tech startups, and top­tier hotels.

When asked what she primarily attributes the company’s success and longevity to, she says it’s a true love and passion for the work she and her team provide.

“We desire to be the best in our industry. We are inspired and supported by great clients who we have had long­lasting relationships with. Keeping your word and honouring all commitments and deadlines is key to maintaining a great reputation. As well, when errors occur—and they can—its how we handle them and find solutions that makes all the difference.”

Lawson said its was in 2003 when her dear friend and colleague, Delcy Walker, entrusted her with the company after being diagnosed with terminal cancer.

“It was a true gift and it changed my life,” she recalls. “Starting out, my goals were to ‘survive;’ and to deliver the same care and service to her existing client base with the hope that we could carry on her legacy.”

The firm’s goals now are to continue to be known for outstanding design solutions and to provide the best service they can to all their clients, both large and small.

“We also find a lot of satisfaction being part of the real estate community in this city—from renovations to new builds. It is always exciting to contribute to the fabric that makes Calgary a vibrant community.”

The company is definitely filling a niche in the Calgary market with its primary focus on the commercial office market with both tenant improvement projects and capital projects for its landlord clients.

“However, we started with a primarily hospitality design focus and have leveraged that expertise to provide our commercial of­

fice clients with a more residential multi­use approach to their office space. We still love hospitality and have been extremely fortunate to have been involved with unique locations such as Canadian Mountain Holiday’s (CMH) Bobbie Burns Lodge, the Prince of Wales Hotel in Waterton Lakes, and even a hotel property in Iqaluit.”

Some of the many notable projects that Walker Lawson Interior Design has been involved include being selected to design a six­floor corporate headquarters for Newalta Corporation in a new urban corporate business park. The project included five floors of office space, as well as a full­service employee restaurant and lounge, a fitness centre with a full change room facility, a private corporate daycare facility, and a conference facility.

“Our client was clear on the goals for the new space and entrusted the design to us, resulting in a well­designed, efficient, and award­winning project and a very happy client!”

Another project that stands out to Lawson and her team is the update of the CMH Bobbie Burns Lodge facility.

“We flew in by helicopter to see the site and feel the amazing vibe they have created for their international clientele,” she recalls. “A very fun design project ensued with a modern lodge feel that maintained the warmth

and culture of the original iconic lodge. As part of the challenge, we helped manage a limited window schedule for construction material delivery and access.”

Presently, the firm is working with its landlord clients on show suite buildouts as well as building upgrades to amenity space. They are thrilled to be in the construction phase on three floors for Legal Aid Alberta in Edmonton, having designed their space in Calgary.

“Our current exciting project is a renovation for Bill Black of the Calgary Construction Association, who entrusted us to provide a brand­new office and multi­functional collaboration space in its existing building to showcase, support and serve our local Calgary construction talent and the association members of which we are proud to be one!”

As for the next 20 years for Walker Lawson Interior, Lawson aims to remain loyal to the company’s winning formula.

“We want to continue having fun designing award­winning spaces, maintaining our fabulous client base, and looking for new opportunities to design meaningful, successful projects for our existing and new client base,” she says. “When you have fun, work hard, and love what you do day­to­day, you can’t help but be successful!” u

HOW TO PLAN A SUCCESSFUL EXIT FROM YOUR CONSTRUCTION BUSINESS

By Jim Rea, CPA, CA, FEA, CFP, MNP

Only about seven per cent of Canadian small businesses have a formal succession plan. Shocking when you consider the time and effort that goes into building a business. That’s not to say these leaders haven’t considered their retirement goals — but simply thinking about an outcome won’t make it happen.

Life happens. Even with a plan, many owners discover their destination looks far different than they imagined at the start of their business journey.

Whether you’re two years or two decades from exiting your business, it’s never too early to start thinking about the best way to maximize the return on your investment. A

succession plan will help you adapt to unexpected detours and opportunities along the way.

ASSESS THE BEST PATH FORWARD

“Succession planning is a great opportunity to explore your options,” says Jim Rea, MNP’s Regional Succession Services Leader in Calgary. “Walking through each step can be eye opening. It forces you to focus on what you want, what’s viable, and what steps you need to take.”

Business owners typically consider three options while planning an exit — transitioning the business to a family member, transferring ownership to employees, or selling to a third party.

TRANSITION YOUR BUSINESS TO A FAMILY MEMBER

If family members are involved in the business, you might prefer they carry on that legacy. Many business owners choose this option to create generational wealth. However, it is essential to communicate your plans early.

“Owners often assume family members are going to take over, but they’ve never had those conversations,” says Rea. “It’s often a shock when we get into succession planning to find out they aren’t interested after all.”

A succession plan can help ensure all your key stakeholders are on board with your intentions and are ready to help you action your plans long before you plan to exit.

Financing is another factor to consider. If family members don’t have the funds to buy your business outright, you’ll need to decide whether receiving payment over several years fits your retirement goals.

You’ll also need to put a formal payment plan in place to manage the entanglement of family and finances. “It’s not uncommon for family successors to be surprised that they have to pay for the business; that it’s not just being given to them. So, again, communication is the key,” advises Rea.

Additionally, incidents from the past can come to the forefront during the transition process. Some family members may feel they cannot work together or worry they will not receive fair treatment.

Glenbow Museum Revitalization

“You have to develop a good communication plan and dispute resolution process so there’s a process by which everyone agrees to resolve issues when they arise,” says Rea.

TRANSFER OWNERSHIP TO EMPLOYEES

If family members aren’t an option, Rea suggests looking to employees who already play a key role in the business and have the operational knowledge to ensure it continues successfully.

“There may be a lot of good leaders who are not family, who have shown their interest in owning the business,” he says.

If this is a path you would like to explore, consider a share ownership plan based on employee contributions. Aside from supporting your long­term exit goals, share ownership can also help increase loyalty

OUR EXPERTISE

— especially in industries where employee retention is a challenge.

“Construction especially has more transient workers. If business owners want workers to be more invested, it helps for them to be invested via share ownership,” Rea explains. “Sometimes employees don’t even think about owning the company until they have some shares, and it can quickly transform their engagement and commitment to the business.”

However, you should be mindful that this option requires giving up full ownership sooner than anticipated. You will also need to share more financial information with your employees — it’s necessarily more collaborative. Share ownership should be evaluated against other profit­sharing alternatives to determine what’s right for your business at this stage and into the future.

SELL TO A THIRD PARTY

Many business owners prefer to sell to a third party to maximize profits and ensure a clean exit. This, too, has its complexities, as it requires finding the right buyer at the right time. It may also require you to remain involved in some capacity to manage the handoff and transition your goodwill to the new owners.

“I think there’s a misconception among a lot of owners that selling their business is like selling a car — they can just put it on the market when they’re ready to retire,” Rea says. “The right timing can make or break the experience for all the parties involved. That’s why planning is so critical.”

PROMPT PAYMENT ADJUDICATION IN ALBERTA

In August 2022, the Alberta construction industry underwent a substantial change through the enactment of the Prompt Payment and Construction Lien Act. The Act introduced a regime of timelines for the timely payment of contractor and subcontractor invoices and rules relating to payment holdbacks and the registration of builder’s liens. As of August 29, 2022, all new construction contracts must comply with these changes.

The Prompt Payment and Construction Lien Act also introduced a dispute resolution process to resolve disagreements arising from work performed under a construction contract. Part 5 of the Act offers a new adjudication process by which disputes can be resolved without litigation in court.

TYPES OF CONSTRUCTION DISPUTES THAT MAY BE ADJUDICATED IN ALBERTA

The substance of Alberta’s new construction adjudication system is found in Part 3 of the Prompt Payment and Adjudication Regula­

By HMC Lawyers LLP

tion. The following disputes may be referred for adjudication:

• The valuation of services or materials provided under the contract or subcontract, including matters relating to a written or proposed change order (whether approved or not);

• Payment under the contract or subcontract, including a written or proposed change order;

• Disputes relating to a notice of non­payment issued under the Act;

• Payment or non­payment of money retained as a major lien fund or minor lien fund that is owed to a party during or at the end of the contract/sub­contract;

• Any other matter concerning the contract/subcontract that the parties agree to refer to adjudication, regardless of whether or not a proper invoice was issued, or the claim is lienable.

INITIATING AN ADJUDICATION & NOMINATING AUTHORITIES

The party initiating a dispute for adjudication must fill out a Notice of Adjudication and serve it on the other party. The notice includes a description of the dispute and the remedies sought by the aggrieved party. The initiating party may also request a specific adjudicator be assigned to the dispute and may also choose the Nominating Authority to handle the adjudication process.

Nominating Authorities are responsible for certifying and training construction adjudicators. These authorities also create and maintain a code of conduct and public registry for adjudicators under the Prompt Payment and Construction Lien Act. The Minister of Service selects Nominating Authorities through a public procurement process.

CONSTRUCTION ADJUDICATION TRENDS FROM ONTARIO

In Ontario, construction adjudication has been available under its Construction Act since October 2019. The Ontario Dispute Adjudication for Construction Contracts (ODACC) has released its 2022 annual report, which continues the trends observed in the previous three years of construction adjudication in Ontario.

The number of Ontario construction adjudications has steadily risen each year. In 2022, 121 adjudications were commenced (71 more than in 2021), with 67 determinations rendered (33 more than in 2021). Most disputes were related to the payment or valuation of services or materials under a construction contract. The majority of disputes arose from the residential sector (43%).

The value claimed in construction adjudications has jumped exponentially each year, although the amounts paid under adjudicators’ determinations are significantly lower than what was claimed. This discrepancy could be explained in part by parties withdrawing or resolving the dispute before a formal determination is made.

Average amount claimed – $277,168.44

Average amount required to be paid – $51,486.84

CONSTRUCTION LAWYERS

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE OF PROMPT PAYMENT ADJUDICATION

Alberta was not the only province undergoing substantial change to its construction laws in 2022. In March 2022, Saskatchewan added a prompt payment adjudication regime to its builder’s lien legislation by enacting The Builders’ Lien (Prompt Payment) Amendment Act. Similar legislation is under consideration in Manitoba and British Columbia as well.

Whether construction adjudication in Alberta will follow the same trends seen in Ontario remains to be seen. In the meantime, owners and contractors in Alberta should ensure they are familiar with their rights and obligations under the Prompt Payment and Construction Lien Act and the Prompt Payment and Adjudication Regulation to prepare for potential disputes as the industry adjusts to these changes. u

WORKING IN ALIGNMENT Building associations of Calgary

When a new development is created, it is essential to plan and construct the necessary infrastructure and amenities surrounding that development. This includes not only roads and utilities but also public facilities such schools, parks, and community centres, as well as retail and commercial spaces to support the local economy.

Planning and constructing these elements requires collaboration between the different associations and stakeholders to support a thriving and sustainable community.

Building associations such as BOMA (Building Owners and Managers Association), BILD (Building Industry and Land Development Association), and NAIOP (National Association of Office and Industrial Properties) play an essential role in shaping communities, economies, and

the construction industry overall. In the recent past, these associations operated in silos, focusing on their respective areas of interest without much interaction or collaboration with one another. However, in today’s complex and interconnected environment, it has become increasingly important that we work together.

Silos no longer work. When developing a construction project, developers may work with local governments and planning organizations to ensure that roads and utilities are designed and constructed to meet the needs of the community. Schools and other public facilities may be designed and built in partnership with education and community organizations to ensure they meet the needs of the local population. Retail and commercial spaces may be designed and built in collaboration with local

business organizations to ensure they support the local economy and meet the needs of residents. This requires a unified and aligned effort.

By leveraging the collective expertise and resources, our building associations are achieving common goals by sharing best practices and developing joint initiatives in order to make a greater impact together, more than they could have working on their own.

Alignment between BOMA, BILD, and NAIOP also helps foster a greater sense of unity and understanding within the industry. By working together, our associations build bridges between different sectors of the industry, and this leads to a more cohesive and supportive construction community, which is essential for the industry’s long­term sustainability and success.

Working in alignment can help to amplify our collective voice and influence. By speaking with a unified voice on critical issues affecting the industry, our associations have a greater impact on policymakers, regulators, and other stakeholders. This can help to ensure that the industry’s interests are represented effectively, and that policies and regulations are developed in a way that supports the industry’s longterm success.

Together with the CCA, BOMA, BILD, and NAIOP play a crucial role in shaping the construction industry. Collaboration between our associations is essential for achieving common goals, fostering greater understanding within the industry, and amplifying the industry’s voice and influence. u

BUILDWORKS LAUNCHES NEW SERVICES FOR USERS

By Lisa Kopochinski

BuildWorks — the procurement and business development platform for the construction industry in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, which helps members find opportunities — is about to get better!

BuildWorks has relaunched two new services for users: the BuildWorks Directory, and myPlansroom, an invitation­to­bid product. They will also introduce the new BuildWorks Certificate service, accessible on the BuildWorks platform.

The BuildWorks Directory allows users to be seen by other companies, get invited to projects, and win more work. As a member, your premium directory listing will be featured and highlighted.

BuildWorks is continuing to evolve to better serve members, provide timely bidding information, and posting results to continue to provide member value. Implementing pre­bid functions and working

with other association groups across Alberta and Canada to streamline the services is also important.

The Invitation to Bid (now called myPlansroom), with its easy­to­use features, allows prime contractors to invite interested bidders to their projects, whether visible on BuildWorks generally or not. myPlansroom is a key tool for trade contractors and suppliers particularly to expand their invitation and network by using this directory of thousands of Alberta companies. It can be used in all phases of the construction process, during tendering and construction, or internally within your office, and keeps all project communications and documents in one easily accessible secure space.

The new BuildWorks Certificate Service is for general contractors and subcontractors to generate certificates of substantial performance, along with a front­end search

engine for users to search certificates. The Alberta Government has added the option of posting a Certificate of Substantial Completion online. Certificates can still be physically posted on construction sites or online with BuildWorks Canada.

CROSS-PROVINCIAL PLATFORM

Developed and offered in partnership by 12 local Western Canadian construction associations in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, BuildWorks connects members with a national network of regional experts, qualified providers, and opportunities for work.

Serving owners, general contractors, subtrades, suppliers, and service providers, BuildWorks provides control and flexibility throughout the procurement and lifetime of a project. u

ALBERTA CONSTRUCTION ASSOCIATION ADVOCACY UPDATE

By Ken Gibson, Executive Director, Alberta Construction Association

ACA ADVOCACY WITH PREMIER AND CABINET PAYING DIVIDENDS FOR MEMBERSHIP

ACA advocacy is reflected in Ministerial mandate letters across government that address key issues for Alberta’s contractors. Mandate letters can be found here (https:// open.alberta.ca/publications/mandate­letters­to­ministers­2022), and the highlights of which include:

• Sustained infrastructure investment including trade corridors to support Albertan’s quality of life and economic prosperity.

• Best value procurement and standardized contracts to reduce risk.

• Extending prompt payment provisions to Government of Alberta contracts.

• Promoting trades education, work training, recognition of out­of­province credentials, fostering opportunities for people from under­represented communities, and expanded Provincial Nominee Program.

• Continued red tape reduction with an emphasis on streamlined permitting and Land Titles processes.

• Complete Occupational Health & Safety Code review and more focus on mental health supports to keep workers safe.

• Review Building Code changes to ensure safety and affordability.

Minister of Infrastructure, Nathan Neudorf, comes from our industry having owned his own firm as a carpentry subcontractor, worked for a general contractor, and served as a consultant for several public owners. Minister Neudorf is a former Chair of the Lethbridge Construction Association and a former board member of the ACA.

INFRASTRUCTURE

Some of the issues ACA is working with the Minister of Infrastructure and the Alberta government include:

• Extending prompt pay to projects under the Public Works Act. A new implementation working group has been established with ACA representation.

• Lack of transparency and variability regarding future projects, funding, timing, delivery, project budget, impacting industry’s ability to plan. It takes years of steady work to produce skilled design consultants, tradespeople, and project managers. Swings in infrastructure spending inevitably lead to periods in which industry capacity can’t meet demand without price increases at the expense of taxpayers.

• Relations that are contractual and transactional rather than collaborative.

• Inappropriate allocation of risk. ACA is gathering feedback from the industry on contract risks as part of a working group with Infrastructure.

• The revision of Government of Alberta agreements removing all forms of alternative dispute resolution, leaving the courts as the only option.

• Contractor selection primarily based on low price treating construction as a commodity, rather than selection on best value and innovation treating construction as a specialized service.

ACA will carry these themes forward in our advocacy for the upcoming provincial election, slated for May 29, 2023.

BUILDERS’ LIENS AND PROMPT PAY

Prompt pay came into effect for contracts signed after August 29, 2022.

ACA successfully advocated for Land Title provisions to speed up resolution of liens in the Government’s Pending Registration Queue system, and to overturn stop payments on progress draws by Alberta Infrastructure where a court order signaled pending removal of the lien on school projects.

ACA Forms A and B contracts and the Builders’ Lien Plain Language Guide have been updated to reflect the new Act. Two new ACA Plain Language Guides (Prompt Pay Provisions; Prompt Pay Adjudication process) are also now available through the ACA website (http://albertaconstruction. net/documents/).

The industry consortium of ACA, Alberta Trade Contractors Coalition, Municipalities Alberta Association, and Consulting Engineers of Alberta will not submit a pro­

Authority to accredit prompt pay adjudicators and manage the adjudication process.

ACA is concerned that the proposed administrative responsibilities contemplated in the regulations run counter to the goal of affordable costs borne by parties to an adjudication. ACA will advocate for choice amongst Nominating Authorities to best serve industry.

APPRENTICESHIP, SKILLS, AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT

ACA continues to advocate for a stronger industry role in vocational education and apprenticeship, offering to assist the new Skilled Trades Apprenticeship Board with industry engagement.

ACA met with the Minister of Skilled Trades to reinforce the need for the apprenticeship system to maintain quality and address skill shortages and followed up advocating for new incremental funding to train the increase in apprentices registered with Alberta colleges and polytechnics.

ACA Executive Director Ken Gibson has been appointed to the Premier’s Council on Skills. The Council is to provide advice

to the skills needed in Alberta’s workforce, particularly as they relate to educational programming in Alberta’s adult learning system.

ACA DEVELOPS RECOMMENDATIONS TO IMPROVE FEDERAL IMMIGRATION

Skilled foreign trained tradespeople can become productive permanent residents that mentor Canadian apprentices to help address chronic labour shortages. ACA shared industry recommendations on improvements to federal immigration programs.

ACA CONTINUES TO OPPOSE WAGE SCALES ON FEDERAL CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS

ACA applauded the 2014 repeal of the Federal Fair Wages Act in 2014. Upon learning that wage scales are under consideration to achieve a more favourable investment tax credit, ACA has reiterated its concerns with the current federal government about bureaucrats replacing the marketplace to determine fair wages. Construction remains the third highest wage industry in Alberta after oil and gas and utilities. u

CCA SECURING A STRONG FUTURE FOR THE INDUSTRY THROUGH COLLECTIVE ADVOCACY

By Mary Van Buren, President, Canadian Construction Association

Representing 20,000+ 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 success is working with valued partner associations like the Calgary Construction Association. We are powered by your engagement. Together, we are driving change on key issues that make a real impact, not only for the industry but for all Canadians.

Released in March, our 2022 Annual Review demonstrates CCA’s commitment to you, our members, to be your trusted ADVISOR, CHAMPION, and PARTNER.

CCA ANNUAL REVIEW 2022 A smart infrastructure plan backed by investment

Over the past two years, CCA has been actively pursuing more investment in key trade gateways and corridors across the country. This included partnering with the Western Canada Roadbuilders & Heavy Construction Association and bringing in national partners, like Export Development Canada, the Business Council of Canada, and the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, to build the support we need among politicians and Canadians. CCA helped fund the report, From shovel ready to shovel worthy, to strengthen our case.

We are gaining traction, with some modest investments proposed in the 2023 Federal Budget to strengthen Canada’s transportation systems and supply chain infrastructure. Real growth however will not come from band­aid solutions. It will come from a long­term initiative, coordinated with the provinces, to develop a National Trade Corridor.

CCA has always maintained that one size does not fit all. Every region and municipality, including our Indigenous communities, have different needs and priorities. The National Infrastructure Assessment would have helped create an integrated, apolitical strategy on how Canada would prioritize, finance, and deliver critical infrastructure projects. But there has been no movement on this promised 2021 federal initiative. We cannot afford to wait. As the industry’s national advocate, CCA will continue its outreach on this issue so policy makers understand the risks of their inaction – aging infrastructure, damage to our reputation as a trading partner, and inadequate supply chains, to name a few.

WORKFORCE AN URGENT PRIORITY

More than 70 members from across Canada and representing all sectors of the construction industry met with parliamentarians from all parties to discuss the labour crisis and urgent need to Rebuild Canada’s workforce NOW during CCA’s annual Hill

Day on November 15. Our collective efforts to bring this message locally, provincially, and federally has generated government support for investing in promotion of the trades and increasing immigration targets to help ease the shortfall. Conversations will continue however as the government needs to create a more supportive environment to alleviate the labour choke points that risk crippling Canada’s economic growth. This includes changing an outdated immigration point system and working with provinces to ensure better skills matching.

The urgent need for skilled trade workers is also receiving nationwide attention as we work to build the number of apprentices, through our partnership with the Canadian Apprenticeship Service, and turn construction into a first­choice career, through our industry­wide Talent Fits Here campaign.

FAIR PROCUREMENT

The value of involving contractors earlier in project is gaining steam. CCA obtained a commitment from government leaders at its semi­annual Meech Lake meeting to establish a working group on procurement and project delivery methods. To build the infrastructure needed across the country and recruit the workforce of the future, federal procurement strategies need to adapt to encourage innovation, include contractors earlier in the process, account for long­term value and sustainability, promote the use of alternative delivery models, and support shared risk.

We also embarked on a fact­finding mission this past summer to learn first­hand from members about their challenges with current procurement practices. Dubbed the Standard Practices Tour, CCA visited Vancouver, Edmonton, Winnipeg, St. John’s, and Montreal. In 2023, we will again meet with members in five different cities to ensure we are up to date with current issues.

CCA’s Best Practices Services is delivering new resources – some of which are being developed through the work of our National Advisory Councils. We are also increasing our outreach to buyers of construction so we can educate them on the benefits of sharing risk and involving contractors early in the project.

ACTION-BACKED POLICIES TO SUPPORT GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE

Canada’s construction industry is ready to become a leader in the transition to a net­zero economy. We submitted detailed recommendations on developing a buy clean policy, mandating change, enabling investment decisions, growing Canada’s advantage in building practices, technology and building materials, and training and incentivizing the future workforce. Following the submission, CCA has been invited to participate in a working group on Canada’s Green Buildings Strategy. CCA and our partners are also aligning on our message that governments must update building codes, provide incentives for businesses, share climate data, and create a list of approved “green” materials.

Budget 2023’s proposed tax credits in clean technologies and hydrogen are a missed opportunity that we plan to address. Tying restrictive labour conditions to these incentives effectively discriminates against an important segment of the Canadian workforce and, in particular, small and medium­sized companies. Over the next few months, CCA will reinforce our budget asks

in support of a strong economy during our semi­annual Meech Lake meeting on April 25, through a robust outreach strategy leading into the summer recess, and culminating with Hill Day 2023 where the industry will convene to make our message heard in Ottawa.
