Message from the SICA CEO
W
elcome to the Spring 2018 edition of the SICA Construction Review magazine. This edition focuses on B.C.’s wine industry and the ripple effect that the industry plays on our provincial and regional economy, including the construction industry. “The B.C. wine industry’s $2.8 billion economic impact is a significant driver to the BC economy,”1 and wine tourism brings over 1 million2 visitors to B.C. each year, many of these tourists are visiting wineries that were built by SICA members. Winery construction provides a unique opportunity to build structures that facilitate the winemaking process, in addition to beautiful and unique spaces for tourists and locals alike to taste wine, eat, and shop. Each factor is extremely important to the overall success of the winery. We are thrilled to feature just some of the recent projects that our members have worked on. There are many more wineries within our region that have been completed by our members, unfortunately we couldn’t feature them all. However, we have had the opportunity to feature wineries in previous editions of this magazine and look forward to featuring the innovative wineries that will be constructed in the future. This edition also marks my first publication as CEO of SICA, after nearly six years of representing the industry on the SICA and B.C. Construction Association board of directors. I hope to bring the knowledge I have gained from the member side of the equation and apply it in my new responsibilities going forward. I am excited to start navigating the opportunities and challenges that our association may face in the coming years. We are fortunate to have a solid footing beneath us and, under my direction, I hope to expand our brand awareness and elevate the value that members receive. I invite you to stop by our Kelowna office or give me a call to discuss how SICA can help your business grow. The greatest asset of SICA is the service we provide to our members and the opportunities that can help your business grow. Thank you for all of your contributions to our industry and for allowing SICA to be your partner in doing so. Sincerely, Jason Henderson

Message from the SICA Chair
H
ere we are again, another message from the new-old SICA Chair. I have been given the opportunity and honour to serve as SICA Chair again this year, I had previously served as Chair in 2014-15, and I am looking forward to assisting Jason Henderson in his first year
as CEO. This fall, the SICA Board of Directors held our annual planning retreat in Kelowna and, for the first time, we invited the SICA staff to join us for the sessions. I am pleased to say the outcome was extremely beneficial for both groups. Our sessions together demonstrated the cohesiveness of the board and the staff, as well as our shared vision for the future. Our planning sessions revolved around refreshing the association’s goals and understanding our priorities for the upcoming year. Together the board and staff are working towards: • increasing communication channels, so members are aware of all services that SICA offers, • offering more networking opportunities for members across the region, • continuing to develop the SICA Training Centre and safety consulting services. In addition, Jason Henderson was announced as the new CEO effective last November. Jason joins SICA after serving on the SICA board for the last six years, including three years as a director on the B.C. Construction Association board. His 22 years of experience in the construction industry, as well as his SICA-specific knowledge, will be a considerable asset to our association in the future. Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to once again thank our dedicated SICA staff, we are fortunate to have a skilled and competent team that is committed to serving our members. If you are ever near our Kelowna or Kamloops office, I recommend you stop by and meet the team! Sincerely, Phil Long

Construction in Transformation
M
ary Van Buren started as the president of the Canadian Construction Association (CCA) in mid-October. This article introduces her and outlines some of her priorities.
What Attracted You to the Canadian Construction Association?
Mary Van Buren
I was searching for a leadership role in a sector of national importance that impacts Canadians. As I learned more about the industry, it became apparent that construction’s role in building Canadian communities is undervalued. Our members
generate close to $119 billion in GDP and employ almost 1.4 million people. And we are facing a skilled trade shortage. I’m an association executive with deep marketing, communications, strategy, and digital expertise. The industry is undergoing a transformation due to technology, new best practices, and a changing workforce. As a change leader, my role is to help our members adapt and continue in their success. I am fortunate to be working in partnership with the CCA board that is passionate about the industry, committed to change, and agile.

We recently completed a two-day strategic planning session, and I was impressed by the open dialogue, camaraderie, and focus on what is best for the industry.
What Are Your Priorities? CCA will be celebrating 100 years as an association in 2018. My goal is to set a path to take the CCA forward into the next 100 years. There are many potential disruptors including technology such as 3D printing, the capacity of Canadian firms to compete on increasingly complex projects, and the attractiveness of Canada as a place to do business. Three important priorities are to increase CCA’s profile with the government as the national voice of construction, improve construction’s image as an attractive career, and promote the adoption of technology. In terms of CCA’s profile with the government, we can be more proactive in bringing constructive solutions to the ta-
ble and voicing our views, but we must be aligned as an industry to have an impact. When it comes to construction as a career, the industry is changing rapidly, and technology is certain to have a profound impact in the future. Therefore, we have a great opportunity to bring in a more diversified workforce with the brightest minds and skilled people to ensure an innovative and productive sector. Finally, technology can assist with labour shortages as well as improve safety, quality, and productivity. From smart phones to autonomous vehicles, the transformation of the industry is underway.
How Can Diversity Help the Canadian Construction Industry? I read recently that women tend to apply for positions when they know a woman has held the role before. It is a great privilege to pave the way for others. Overall, the Canadian construction industry needs to attract a motivated and talented workforce since we may be facing a sig-
nificant shortfall of workers. Clients are starting to seek joint accountability with everyone involved in the design, build, and life cycle, so we need people who are tech-savvy and used to working collaboratively. The more we can increase the talent pool by making construction work accessible and attractive to women, youth, Indigenous people, and new Canadians, the stronger we will be.
What Is the Best Way to Keep in Touch? I look forward to working collaboratively with CCA’s partner associations and other stakeholders to deliver as much value as possible to our members. To hear about the changes that my team at CCA will be implementing, subscribe to CCA’s e-newsletters at bit.ly/ccasubscribe or follow us on social media. I’m also happy to hear from you directly - my email is mvanburen@cca-acc.com. Please join us at the CCA conference in Banff, March 12 - 15! ◆

Joie de vivre: Winemaker adds French charm By Melanie Franner

winds. But is also means that the building structure, features, and design elements also need to be able to withstand these forces.” Norsteel Buildings Systems is currently celebrating its 25th year of building within the B.C. area and beyond. This experience enabled them to easily incorporate the winemaker’s particular design and architectural features. “The flexibility of design and features available in our pre-engineered steel structures were an exact fit to what they needed,” says Savard, who cites a long list of benefits that include unlimited colour options, energy efficiency, low cost in relation to other options, use of recyclable materials and minimal waste, maximization of daylighting options, and speed of completion. “Design to wine took one year,” says Savard.

The new facility at Clos du Soleil incorporates a 370-square-foot tasting room. The entire footprint of the main floor measures 3,850 square feet, which is complemented by a 565-square-foot mezzanine. “One of the key benefits of going the pre-engineered route is that temperatures in this facility can be maintained at the optimum, regardless of the extremes in both seasons,” says Savard. “Overall, there are 11 different heat zones throughout the building, all of which can be controlled individually by the winemaker and his team.” Other interesting features incorporated in the facility include an under-slab heating system, a water-filtration system, and an electric car station. “The water-filtration system is critical

in order to get the available water to the rigourous standards needed by the wine maker,” says Savard. “This high-end system eliminates any turbidity and impurities in the water rendering it ideal for winery sanitation and winemaking purposes.” Norsteel Buildings Systems also brought in a 400-amp electrical service, with 2pole and 3pole receptacles located around the production area for the different machines used in the production of wines. This will also be useful for any future expansion.
A perfect finish A large overhead door provided ready access to the new Clos du Soleil building. This particular project was carried out by ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems. “We were excited for the opportunity to
get involved with another Norsteel project,” says Shane Kennedy, branch manager of the Kelowna ASSA ABLOY office. “We were tasked with the fabrication and installation of a 15’ x 16’ commercial-grade, steel-insulated overhead door. For optimal thermal efficiency, we provided a door with polyurethane-injected sections and for natural light and transparency, the door featured four double-pane clear-tempered windows at eye level.” The on-site installation of the door took a few days with a two-man crew, which included welding the door tracks with reverse continuous angle to the steel structure. The client, Clos du Soleil, is more than pleased with the results. “We chose to go with a pre-engineered building for cost reasons, as well as for

the ability to have large, open spaces in the production area,” says Michael Clark, wine maker and managing director, Clos du Soleil. “The pre-engineered building meant that we didn’t have to have any interior supporting pillars, which was a huge advantage to us.” In addition, Clark notes that it was an ideal solution for realizing the design work of architects Liana Sipelis and Chris Allen, both of whom contributed to the project.
Let the sun shine in Today, Clos du Soleil can continue to produce the ultra-premium wines that it has become known for, one that borrows an aesthetic derived from the great wines of Bordeaux but stamped with the flavours and aromas of the local rocky Similkameen land. And, thanks to the hard work of various companies that helped make the winery’s dream a reality, Clos du Soleil can continue to produce their fine array of wines in a firstclass production facility that has been designed exclusively for them. “We’re thrilled with the results,” says Clark. “The new wine-tasting room has a lot of charm but is still true to the Clos du Soleil character. It’s elegant but understated and the new production facility is everything we could have hoped for – and more.” ◆

THE UNSUNG HEROES OF PUBLIC SECTOR CONSTRUCTION
G
overnment is the largest construction owner in British Columbia: taxpayers fund billions of dollars’ worth of construction projects every year at the provincial and municipal levels. Over $75 billion worth of large projects were underway during 2017 in B.C., with another $325 billion coming down the pike. These are big projects and big dollars, and they affect communities across every region of the province. When the public sector does a good job with procurement on a construction project, everyone benefits. The projects have better outcomes, cost less, and are more likely to be completed on time. The truth is, procurement professionals are the unsung (and often invisible) heroes of a construction project. If procurement isn’t done well, it sets the entire project on a path to higher risk of cost overruns and delays. Procuring construction services in the public sector is a highly specialized practice requiring unique experience, knowledge, and skill. With contractors in demand, resources at a premium, and timelines tight, now more than ever procurement professionals hold the master key to a successful project delivery. The high rate of retirement amongst public sector procurement professionals is causing ripples of concern across B.C.’s construction industry, which is experiencing the same demographic shift. With the changing of the guard, collaboration between public sector and industry will help to ensure that important legacy, knowledge, and experience is passed on to the next generation of professionals. The BC Construction Association, the province’s provincial advocate for the industrial, commercial, and industrial construction sector, recognized seven public projects and owners for excellence in construction procurement in 2017. The initiative was spearheaded by Warren Perks, vice-president of industry practices for BCCA and chair of the Industry Standards and Practices Committee, which contributed to the creation of the list of honorees: • Public Works & Government Services Canada (Pacific Region) for procurement practices, • Town of Smithers for the Airport Expansion Project, • Lower Mainland Facilities Management Health Authorities for procurement practices, • Interior Health Authority for procurement practices,

• Defense Construction Canada Comox Procurement Team for procurement practices, • City of Vernon for the Vernon Multi-Use Facility Expansion, • Vancouver Island Health Authority for procurement practices. “Achieving excellence in construction procurement is a difficult task, and it’s near impossible to get everything done perfectly” says Perks. “However these owners worked hard to achieve high standards of fairness and transparency on their projects, and we felt they should be recognized.” The Infrastructure Masterclass is a key resource and catalyst for dialogue around construction procurement. Introduced at the end of 2017, the day-long intensive course is provided by the regional construction associations and attended by public sector construction procurers. The response has strongly reinforced the need for greater awareness of the significance of this work and the responsibilities of the professionals who undertake it. “Ultimately, public owners whose contract opportunities are distinguished by professional, well-structured procurement processes and project outcomes achieve a reputation as owners of choice,” says Chris Atchison, president of BCCA. For the foreseeable future, with major public projects like Site C moving ahead and LNG Canada gearing up to make its final investment decision, the construction market in B.C. is not likely to cool down. As competition amongst owners for high-quality contractors continues to make B.C. a seller’s market, owners should not underestimate the importance of the construction procurement process. “Make sure your procurement team is fully up-to-date on the construction delivery options and how to assess their suitability for your project,” says Atchison. “There are unique public sector obligations that must be met in regard to fair, open, and transparent processes. The associations are here to help with evaluating strategies and gathering market intelligence, so we all get it right from the beginning. That’s a win for everyone.” It remains to be seen who the Best in Public Sector Procurement honorees will be for 2018, but we know one thing for sure: their visibility of owners of choice in B.C.’s construction sector will help them attract the best contractors to their projects for years to come.

EMPLOYEES OR SUBCONTRACTORS?
THE RISK IS IN THE DETAILS
C
onstruction companies often use subcontractors in place of employees for a range of specialized skills and roles on projects. In an increasingly-competitive economy, the benefits of this decision can be significant. But there are risks as well. Many companies have been unclear in their agreements with contractors, and left themselves and their contractors exposed to the risk of serious and costly repercussions with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). BDO has helped many clients identify tax risks associated with subcontractor relationships, and advised on creating arrangements that minimize or mitigate such risks.

What are the risks?

Why engage subcontractors?

Because of the different tax implications for employees and subcontractors, the CRA is very strict in distinguishing between them. It’s imperative that companies be just as strict in their own arrangements. If a trades person is considered a subcontractor, fees paid to them may be subject to GST/HST, if the subcontractor earns over $30,000 in a year. Such GST/ HST payments may qualify for an input tax credit which can reduce your overall GST/ HST liability in a particular year. The company should report all payments made to the subcontractor for the calendar year on a T4A slip. On the other hand, as previously noted, if the trades person is considered an employee, the company is responsible for remitting all payroll taxes and income tax withholdings on their earnings and possibly WorksafeBC obligations. The company should also report earnings on a T4 slip each year. Failure to make these withholdings or tax filings can result in a costly diversion of cash to cover the payments, together with interest payments and possible fines, and can potentially trigger a full-scale payroll audit by the CRA. It is vitally important for your company to ensure that your subcontractors meet
Subcontracting offers companies both financial and operational advantages. Financially, the practice converts a significant portion of a company’s fixed costs into variable costs. This means your company no longer has to worry about meeting payroll or having unused resources, as your volume of work fluctuates. Your investment in human capital can vary directly with your business activity — increasing when revenue grows, decreasing during slowdowns — providing a much 26
Since subcontractors aren’t on the payroll, the company is not responsible for remitting their payroll taxes such as income taxes, CPP contributions, and EI premiums, or other common employee benefits and obligations including pensions, health, dental, and life insurance, which can help reduce your total overhead costs. WorksafeBC is governed by a separate act and may have different determinations for employee versus subcontractor status which should be consulted in each particular circumstance. Operationally,
using
subcontractors
can improve your company’s flexibility and competitiveness, and your ability to portunities that present themselves. Additionally, many of the cost and operational inconveniences typically associated with employees, such as supplying tools, safety equipment, and training, are transferred to the subcontractor in such an arrangement. Subcontracted skilled labour is responsible for their own efficiency, which can reduce your management costs. The company and subcontractors are in a partnership, sharing the same desire to maximize revenues and minimize costs.

the CRA’s criteria, in order to minimize the risk of being reclassified by the CRA as employees.
If you’re thinking this is all pretty complicated, you’re not alone.
Protect yourself What does the CRA consider? There is no one-size-fits-all definition of a subcontractor — every business is different. Recognizing this, the CRA considers a number of factors and may weigh them differently in different cases. All these factors should be taken into account when drafting agreements with subcontractors: Control – Who controls the work done, and when and how it’s done? Generally, a company manages its employees’ priorities and workflows, but leaves subcontractors free to deliver their product or service in their own way (within agreed-upon parameters). Similarly, an employee who wants to do work for another company would likely have to ask their employer’s permission, while subcontractors often work for a number of different companies. Tools & Equipment – Who owns them? Independent contractors typically provide their own heavy machinery, tools, and equipment. A heavy equipment operator who only drives a construction companyowned machine may be considered an employee. Financial Investments – Subcontractors invest their own money in their businesses, and control their own costs in order to make a profit. Employees typically are paid a fixed amount hourly or monthly, and bear minimal financial risk. Integration Test – Step back and look at the work activities being done by your people. Are they so integrated that an independent observer would conclude that the sub-contractor is an employee? For instance, the CRA would conclude that an executive is an employee. On the other hand, an excavator driver who works for a number of companies looks more like an independent contractor. Intent – The CRA will try to determine if the individual is contracted to provide service to the company over an indefinite period as an employee does, or to provide specific services for a more limited period more typical of an independent contractor.
Since the CRA will consider a whole range of factors when looking at a particular case, it is important for the relationship between company and subcontractor to be clearly documented in a written contract.

tors. We can provide accounting and tax advice that will assist you to maximize the advantages of entering into such a relationship while minimizing or eliminating the tax risk.

The underground caves and caverns of the O’Rourke Family Vineyards By Melanie Franner
W
hen Dennis O’Rourke dreams, he dreams big. That’s why the underground caves and caverns at the O’Rourke Family Vineyards in Lake Country, B.C., are a spectacular feat of ingenuity and design. The family winery has been operational since 2013 when the first vines were planted. Production of the pinot noir and chardonnay, however, has been limited to a small, satellite winery. Until now. “Mr. O’Rourke really wanted to do something special,” explains Adrian Baker, winemaker, O’Rourke Family Vineyards. “He knows that this is his legacy 28
project and he really wants to get it right.” The result is a multi-million dollar project that will see approximately 300 linear metres or 11,500 feet of underground tunnels in which to store the wines. Plus, what will be an astounding wine-tasting room which is still in the pre-conceptual stage. Of course, there are other perfectly good reasons to create an underground labyrinth for the liquid elixir. “When you are aging wines in barrels, what we call élevage, you want the wine to evolve in a stable temperature,” explains Baker. “Bedrock is a very stable environ-
Southern Interior Construction Association • Spring 2018
ment of about 10 to 11 degrees Celsius. It doesn’t get more stable than bedrock. Plus, there is more humidity present, which is good for the wine-making process.” The underground tunnels follow a single, winding loop with lots of curves and a total of four exits that lead back to daylight.
Finding a match But there is a big difference between envisioning something of this magnitude and actually making it a reality. “Once Mr. O’Rourke decided to go underground, we went to France to see their
underground cellars,” says Baker. “We got really excited, but we couldn’t find anyone here who could work out how to do it.” Thanks to a mutual friend, O’Rourke eventually met up with a local firm that specializes in hard-rock mining. “This project is very unique. Dennis had a fantastic vision and wanted to see it completed. He’s a real can-do guy,” explains Jeff Stibbard, CEO of locally-based JDS Energy & Mining. “He asked how soon we could start and when we said ‘tomorrow’, he replied ‘go get it done’,” he recalls. The focus of the work, according to Stibbard, was on quality, aesthetics, and long-term stability of the excavation, as opposed to the rate of advance. The tunnel profiles themselves varied throughout, depending on the end use and the depth from the surface. JDS Energy & Mining performed all of the underground project management, engineering, mining, and ground support. This part of the project alone has a value of $2.5 million and took approximately one calendar year to complete. “It took us a bit longer than usual because we modified as we went along,” says Stibbard. “Dennis has his ideas and you have to work hard to keep up with him.” Although Stibbard doesn’t describe the vineyard project as being overly complicated, he does say it was a luxury for the crew of six. “Our team of people got to stay in the Okanagan Valley instead of having to go to Guatemala or the North West Territories,” he says. “That was a real treat for them.” Stibbard also says another treat was having the pleasure of working with O’Rourke. “This job was all about having fun and getting it done,” he says. “It was a good job to be involved on and I think it will be one in which a lot of people will benefit going forward. Dennis is a great person, he had a vision and wasn’t afraid to follow through on it. That’s a rarity in the construction industry.” SICA Construction Review • Spring 2018

And O’Rourke’s vision is far from complete. The underground tunnels were completed over the period between the winter of 2015 and winter of 2016, and the caves will be complete by the spring of 2018. A new wine-making building, which will be attached to the caves, will be ready for the 2019 production. Then there’s the wine-tasting room itself. “We’re still in the conceptual stage with different architectural groups on this,” says Baker. “Mr. O’Rourke knows the significance of this room and is exploring every option possible.” Regardless of the final design, one can rest assured that it will have the capacity to impress, at least to the privileged few who will have the opportunity to visit it. “Mr. O’Rourke is making a true statement about his intent to create a remarkable winery that will offer a spectacular experience,” says Baker. “This is something nobody has done yet or nobody is likely to do again. I think it’s a testament to his drive to push the limits and accomplish something really extraordinary.” ◆

rom time to time, a scenario arises where an owner requests ongoing maintenance or multiple smallvalued works to be performed. Be it a routine program required for inspecting and maintaining green roof systems, or a planned installation of multiple smallvalued but distinct civil works. While the exact scope of work, timeframe, and costs may vary for each bundle of work, the owner and the contractor (or multiple pre-vetted contractors) may be able to agree on the general conditions of the arrangement up front. As and when the specific works are required, further documentation can be used to formalize the go-ahead of such work and at that time, the scope, timing, and costs can be confirmed. This is the basic scenario contemplated by the CCDC 2MA – Master Agreement Between Owner and Contractor for use with stipulated price Work Authorizations – 2016 (the "CCDC 2MA"). The CCDC 2MA is one of the newest additions to the suite of standard form documents developed by the Canadian Construction Documents Committee. The CCDC 2MA is modelled after the more familiar CCDC 2 – Stipulated Price Contract, but with changes to incorporate the Work Authorization piece which is required to settle the key terms of
tiation, and contracting stages. The CCDC 2MA is a relatively new tool in the contract documents arsenal so only time will tell how its application is perceived — and potential efficiencies realized — by owners and contractors. ◆
gotiating changes through supplementary conditions may be advisable in certain situations. The scenarios contemplated for the use of the CCDC 2MA may benefit from certain efficiencies that may be realized in having the parties reach agreement up front on the general conditions of the contract, with particulars as to scope, costs, and schedule being settled as and when work is needed. This may avoid repetition in one or more of the procurement, nego-

scope, timing, and costs and to authorize the work. The CCDC 2MA, on its own – without the Work Authorization – does not establish a contract for the performance of any specific work. Rather, it contains the general terms and conditions that will govern the relationship between the owner and the contractor over a specified period. Those familiar with the CCDC 2 Stipulated Price Contract will be able to spot the key differences between the two documents, which appear within the provisions of the Agreement, the Definitions, and the description of the Contract Documents in GC 1.1 of the General Conditions of the CCDC 2MA. The General Conditions of the CCDC 2MA are otherwise virtually identical to the CCDC 2, save for a few instances where reference to the Work Authorization (instead of the Contract) is appropriately made. As with all standard form documents (and regardless of the issuing body) the CCDC 2MA provides a great starting point for setting the contractual framework. However, it should be carefully considered whether any supplementary conditions are warranted for a given scenario. From the viewpoint of an owner, for example, the obligations to provide the contactor with financing information may not be acceptable, especially for public authorities. Similarly, an owner may want to limit progress payment on products that have been delivered to the site unless they are cleared of all security interests and liens and incorporated into the work. Conversely, from the viewpoint of a contractor, it may be advisable to extend the time allotted for providing notice of delay, or to permit parties to resolve disputes through a process of their choosing or in the courts, rather than being forced through the mandatory process set out in the CCDC 2MA (and likewise, the CCDC 2). Most standard form documents are professed to be a balance of the interests of all parties concerned and modifications are generally discouraged, but ne-

any employers provide benefits to employees and their families to protect and to help maintain their health. Employers may also offer wellness programs to employees to help develop or continue healthy habits. Employers might also provide incentive programs, lunch-and-learns, walking meetings, or healthy competitions. But ultimately, an employee’s health is the responsibility of the employee. Increasingly, claims are rising for conditions that individuals can help prevent through lifestyle choices. Helping employees to make better lifestyle choices will also help employers save costs through reduced claims and reduced claim amounts. Below are some additional resources from our partners, employers can access to support their employees in their health and wellness.

A different level of perfection Construction in the wine industry By Tammy Schuster

any have said the building boom for new wineries in the Okanagan may have peaked
a few years ago. But while new builds are still occurring, renovations, upgrades, and wow-factor projects continue to keep the wine industry in the construction industry’s sight line.

projects throughout the province. Team Construction is also the general contractor for a multi-phased renovation and rebuild at the CedarCreek Estate Winery. Located 20 minutes south of downtown Kelowna, CedarCreek Winery has been in operation since 1987 and has been undergoing a multi-phase upgrade since it changed hands in 2014. “There’s a lot going on up there,” says Chad Gould, project manager and president of Team Construction. “Working around a functioning vineyard and winery can be a challenge.” But it’s nothing they haven’t done before, performing various upgrades and renovations at the sprawling Mission Hill Winery for over fifteen years. The CedarCreek project includes three new buildings; a 10,000-square-foot administrative building, a 5,000-squarefoot restaurant, and a 3,000-square-foot tasting building. There will also be a small out-building for utilities and waste. A new manufacturing and barrel storage area was added to the existing facility approximately 18 months ago, and will eventually be connected to the new phases to come. The entire site will be reworked including parking, hundreds of metres of retaining walls, with natural stone coming from Napa Valley. San Francisco-based Arcanum Architecture, Inc. are the architects on the project and they designed the structured based on a design they created for Stewart Cellars in Yountville, Napa Valley.

pproximately one million tourists visited the wine country of British Columbia in 2015. One MILLION. That’s a lot of people for a small but expansive valley in the middle of the province. While waterskiing on the lake and snowboarding on the mountain will always be a draw, most come for the award-winning wine, breathtaking views, and — serving as a platform for both — an architecturally-striking tasting lounge to round out the entire winery experience. The British Columbia wine industry has become a significant contributor to the B.C. economy and in a report released by the Wine Institute of British Columbia, the economic impact of the wine industry in 2015 was $2.8 billion. The Okanagan Valley accounts for 82 per cent of the total vineyard acreage for the
entire province, with 172 licensed wineries employing over 12,000 people. So while the wine industry has effectively caused a frenzy in Okanagan tourism, it has also become a larger part of the construction portfolio. New wineries are opening and current wineries are making significant upgrades to help bolster their reputations in the wine community and enhance the customer experience. Robert Mackenzie, proprietor of Robert Mackenzie Architect Inc. in Naramata, B.C., has been designing wineries for almost 25 years in the Okanagan. When he first started there were only a handful of wineries in the area, and the most typical had an industrial presence not focused on enticing the public to visit. “A trend eventually evolved, encouraging people into a whole new experience of wine tasting and touring,” says Mackenzie. “The profile of the industry was lifted as new buildings were built to reflect this new movement.” He says historically, owners wanted to build wineries that were reminiscent of an old-world style. His first few wineries designed in the mid-90s, such the Hillside Cellars in Naramata, and the original Hester Creek Estate Winery in Oliver, were designed to resemble comfortable, earthy, old-world characteristics. But over time, he began to borrow elements such as the classic stone, wood, and plaster, and morph them into a uniform, semi-desert architecture that was more reflective of new building technologies, local climate, and environment of the south Okanagan. Nk’Mip Cellars in Osoyoos can be seen as an example of this design approach from 2002. “I was inspired to develop something more unique by creating a personal and special statement for each client,” says Mackenzie. “Something that gave them an identity with a solid link to the competitive marketplace, where a building would be recognizable as a specific winery from a particular place. That type of design didn’t lend itself to just a standard or common building.”

For the past 10 years, the company’s architecture has been leaning toward even more refined contemporary designs, while keeping a foot in the comfort of traditional natural materials. Wineries such as Arrowleaf Cellars and Painted Rock Estate Winery boast clean and modern lines, with rooms of polished concrete, exposed local Glulam timber, and steel, along with plenty of glass, shade structures, and overhangs. Mackenzie says it’s the new way of reflecting the wine industry for a new generation of followers. There is much to consider during the process of designing a new tasting lounge, restaurant, wine shop, guest house, or production facility. “It’s quite a complex process,” says Mackenzie. “We start with a pre-design analysis where we try to determine exactly what the client is after. We work with the winemaker or wine consultant to properly design the production facility, and we work with the owner to design within their vision and budget for the hospitality end. It’s very much a team effort.” Research has involved travelling to other wineries around the world to view their buildings and production methods. Not only is the flow of grapes important — vineyard, processing, cellaring, and bottling — but also understanding the importance of the desired flow of visitors, moving from the tasting to the table, on to the tour, and then to the wine shop. “There is a huge learning curve over time. We still learn with every project we do. Our design goal is to highlight both the quality of the wine and the time spent by the visitor.” The Burrowing Owl Estate Winery, which Mackenzie has continued to expand since it was first constructed in 1995, is an example of enhancing customer experience and production processes. Approaching 60,000 square feet to this day, it now includes a tenroom guest house, restaurant, event space, swimming pool, gravity-fed production line, and underground caves. It has become a showpiece of changing

There is much to consider during the process of designing a new tasting lounge, restaurant, wine shop, guest house, or production facility. energy-efficient technologies and attitude toward sustainability. Like Burrowing Owl, to be more sustainable, Mackenzie says they often design structures partially underground, avoiding the need to heat or cool the space. Designs also include more solar energy systems and geo-thermal properties, while carefully planning the siting and massing of buildings relative to the climatic extremes. A couple of Mackenzie’s recentlycompleted projects include the Maverick Estate Winery tasting lounge along the Golden Mile in Oliver, and the Play Winery in Penticton. This 12,000 square-foot, two-level modern building, features a wine shop, tasting bar, and bistro on the top level, with views from an outdoor patio bistro, and barrel cellar and production facility on the lower. The importance of balancing hospitality with production is clearly defined in the architecture. While people visit the Okanagan Valley for the wine, Mackenzie says image and profile for each winery is huge. “A winery’s architecture, if characteristic and appropriate, reflects the quality and type of wine and the visitor experience. And it may well be one of its biggest assets, contributing toward the long term success of the business.” ◆

f you’ve toured the Okanagan wine country, chances are you have also toured a bistro, tasting room, barrel cellar, or production facility built by Greyback Construction Ltd. Your attention may have been focused on the notes of citrus in your chardonnay or the smooth finish of your pinot noir, but while you were swirling and sniffing your wine, you were likely standing in a room filled with natural light, warm wood finishing, and polished concrete floors all constructed by Greyback. Established in 1983 in Penticton, Greyback is a well-recognized name throughout the construction community in B.C.’s
interior. With projects in the commercial, industrial, residential, and institutional sectors, Greyback has also become an industry forerunner in winery development. Since its first winery project in 1997, Greyback has successfully completed over 20 wineries of varying sizes and budgets throughout the Okanagan Valley, including Arrowleaf Cellars, Church + State Winery, Tinhorn Creek Restaurant, Black Hills Estate Winery, Blasted Church Vineyards, Burrowing Owl Estate Winery, Hester Creek Estate Winery, NK'Mip Cellars Winery, Red Rooster Winery, and Painted Rock Estate Winery. Their most recent project is the Fitzpatrick Family Vineyards at Greata Ranch in Peachland, B.C. Completed in the spring of 2017, the Greata Ranch winery expansion involved a demolition, renovation, and major upgrades to their existing building. A new 6,600-square-foot addition is comprised of lower production areas and a suspended slab acting as a crushpad area. The main floor features a new tasting lounge and bistro with an 18-foot skylight spanning the entire width of the building helping to bring the outdoors in. An outdoor seating area was also created off the bistro giving guests a full view of the vineyard down to Okanagan Lake. The lower level features a wine display cave with arched ceilings finished in brick, a barrel storage viewing area, and a glassenclosed staircase leading to the production level. A new septic field was also installed as well as a process disposal system. Numerous retaining walls were also added, along with a water cistern for fire suppression. Greyback continues its work in the winery industry with the ongoing project at Phantom Creek Winery in Oliver, B.C. The new winery will have a multi-purpose structure with approximately 72,000 square feet of space and is scheduled to open in spring 2019. Greyback’s newest project, Moraine Vineyards in Penticton, B.C., is currently in pre-conception phase but promises to be another highlight to the wine-loving community. ◆

he foundations of the new Phantom Creek Estates winery, located along the Black Sage Bench of Oliver, B.C., are deeply rooted in history. The estate is a blend of three pre-existing vineyards, one of which dates back to the 70s. The 60-acre Sundial Vineyard, where construction of the new winery began in spring 2017; Phantom Creek Vineyard, a smaller seven-acre vineyard across the road from Sundial, also the winery name sake; plus, one more parcel of land on the Golden Mile Bench. The Sundial Vineyard was the original site for The Becker Project in 1977, wherein European vinifera varietals — a more refined grape typically used in some of the world’s finest vineyards — were first planted to prove they could thrive and ripen in the Okanagan. As we all know, the experiment succeeded. After the vineyard was purchased in 2016, plans to add to the current foundation and build something spectacular took shape. Previous owners of the property had begun pouring a foundation for their winery, but the vision never made it to fruition. So, the new owners of Phantom Creek are picking up where they left off. “We did the original winery on site that unfortunately never opened and sat empty for roughly two years,” says Tom Spatola, manager of Harris Rebar in Kelowna. “Concrete-wise it was about 80 per cent complete” Still in the early phases of installing rebar and prepping for concrete, Spatola says they will be using approximately 1.1 mil-
lion pounds of rebar to support four levels of concrete — two in the ground, and two floors above-ground. “The size is unique,” says Spatola. “You don’t see as many new builds as you did a few years ago in the winery industry. You are seeing more expansions and renovations, and you don’t see many wineries of this size being built.” Ledcor is managing construction for the project which is set to be one of the largest wineries in the region. At approximately 72,000 square feet, the majority of the structure will be used as the production facility and barrel storage on the lower two floors. The two upper floors will have a tasting lounge and restaurant also giving guests a view of Lake Osoyoos. “The two-floor hospitality space will allow us to host tastings at a tasting bar as well as give seated guided tastings to introduce our wines and tell the Phantom Creek story,” says Geoffrey Moss, marketing manager, Phantom Creek Estates. “When we purchased the property in early 2016, the previous owner had begun construction, so there was a pre-existing concrete foundation,” says Moss. “But we have expanded on that. In terms of the winery design we started from scratch using the existing foundation as the base.” At the centre of it all, the design includes an open-air amphitheatre for special events and will be another unique feature adding to the sight experience of the winery. “The amphitheatre requires a lot more exposed concrete,” says Spatola. “It’s unique when the horizontal element is in a radial
shape. It’s a really interesting design that has a downturned ring beam in the centre with downturned slab beams coming off at the radius. So it was a bit more complicated than a standard project.” While the sandy soils of the Black Sage Bench produce some powerful and fruity wines, it also produces a problem for large trucks bringing in material and equipment. “The entire site is sand and trailer trucks have gotten struck getting in and out,” says Spatola. “Delivery has been a bit of challenge, but other than that the job is moving along fairly smoothly.” The first vintage of Phantom Creek Estates’ red wines, produced in a temporary facility in 2016, are currently maturing in barrels and will be ready to pour when the winery opens in spring 2019.◆
