Welcome!
This issue, we focus on awards recognizing excellence in concrete and wood construction and the challenges of obtaining effective (free) media publicity. Although perhaps not intentional, the awards stories and advice on media recognition go together quite well, since awards are a great way to achieve positive recognition for your business or practice. So, as well, are voluntary community activities and initiatives. The greater the actual community service and the less these initiatives are seen as self-serving for your own business, the greater the chance that media outlets will provide you with publicity. Of course, advertising also has its place in the story after all this publication, like others, earns its revenue by providing targeted and effective advertisements. We respect that editorial presence is more valuable than advertising, so do our best (without compromising editorial integrity) to allow our advertisers appropriate recognition in special features and elsewhere in the publication. As well, our advertisers can receive unlimited comprehensive free consulting services on how to get their stories placed without advertising, of course in our competitors publications. Were always interested in hearing about your community service, awards and recognition, and your business success stories. You can email me at buckshon@cadcr.com or phone 888-432-3555 ext 224.

Writing and media publicity

Getting it

right
How to resolve misplaced energies and avoid cliches to achieve positive media publicity for your business
By Mark Buckshon Editor, The Canadian Design and Construction Report
My editorial heart is boiling as I write this article. Wading through a mass of submissions for inclusion in the magazine, Im saying no over and over. Individuals have taken the time to write what they think are useful articles for publication, but they are landing on what used to be described as the spike. The spike is a pointed metal tool designed to hold materials not suitable for publication. In the days of paper and ink in the editing process, editors would grab the copy, quickly review it and if it was worthy of publication, complete copy editing for the production department. If the materials couldnt be used, they would land on the spike. My spike is rather full today. Most frustratingly, we have an article (which shall remain nameless in this commentary) which should not run in our publication because it is utterly inappropriate for our readership. We explained to the company involved which has a relevant division and story which would match our readers demographics the reason and how the story could be revised, but they have insisted it appear with the focus they wish. I wonder if someone is misplacing energy, resources and marketing capacities in insisting we run the article unchanged. Editorial publicity can be a wonderfully powerful resource for your business or practice, especially when it is free. The creditability of news-section coverage is incredibly greater than any advertising pitch. The publicity can be repurposed in your marketing materials to add to your image, brand and to swing decision-makers your way. Accordingly, it makes sense to grab as much free editorial coverage as you can get, but to do this, you need to get it right. Accordingly, Ill share some simple pointers with you.

Consider the medias focus, relevance and readership. Does it match your market?
If you are selling a residential product to a community of homeowners in a local community, arranging editorial publicity in a publication geared for the professionals and trades across the country is of limited value. However, you can tell a success story relevant to both local and national audiences if you are creative you can describe how you succeeded in your market, and how you are able to differentiate yourself from the competition. Then, the national publicity can have local value, when you repurpose it.

The Canadian Design and Construction Report January 2012 5

Let writers write. Watch for the cliches and platitudes.


If you are not a writer, let a professional writer interview you and turn the story into a format that can be published. Alas, there are some rather boring conventions out there regarding what is expected. Im not saying these standards the giant charity check, the ribbon cutting with gold shovels, and so on have no place in the media but if you can tell your story with a little more life and variety, a little more creativity and imagination, you are more likely to convey the image you are seeking and obtain the kind of publicity you would like to achieve.

Contract with a writer worthy of your message


The best approach, in my opinion, is to contact individuals whose work you have seen published in relevant media and see if they would like a freelance assignment. This approach has two advantages: The writer has proven that he or she can meet the publications editorial standards and may have greater ability to pitch the relevant story. Secondly, the freelance work, which tops up the writers income, does not need to cost you an arm-and-a-leg. (Different writers have different fees; you will need to see what they want and whether it fits your budget.) In our case, if you are a client and wish an feature written about your business, well provide the writing services. We might ask you to provide some notes and background, but you wont need to worry about the writing. Inexpensive writers are sometimes available from community college journalism programs but beware, the writing is often uneven and not up to professional standards. Finally, if you wish, do it yourself but do what you can to think about the readers interests. Focus on your audience first and the rest will take care of itself. Editors can often turn badly written stories into useable articles, if the source material, at least, has relevance to our readership. Ive calmed down now. While my spike is overflowing, at least Ive written something that is hopefully useful to our readers.

MEDIA PUBLICITY

How to magnify
positive word of mouth

for your business


By Mark Buckshon Editor, Canadian Design and Construction Report You will hit a marketing home run if your local newspaper or television station profiles your business on its news program in a positive feature article. Conversely, you could be forced into bankruptcy if the opposite happens. Media publicity, of course, is a two-edged sword. It magnifies everything. If you have a great reputation and positive word of mouth spreads, youll multiply the results with positive publicity. The reverse applies if your story is negative. The big challenge with publicity is that you cannot control its timing and results. With one special exception to be discussed later, you cant expect the news program producer or publisher to distribute your story, exactly as provided, on your schedule. Nor, in most cases, will your relationship as an advertiser with the publisher influence or control the news coverage.

Publicitys return on investment is usually worthwhile


However, you can still manage and plan the publicityseeking process and here the reward for your input effort will far exceed the cost. Say, you have a $100,000 advertising and promotion budget. Would you achieve greater results by spending the money on print and Internet ads or by hiring or contracting with a competent media relations employee or consultant? I expect your return on investment would be significantly higher if you invested in the media relations process rather than the advertising. (If your advertising is effective, then you may find allocating additional funds for publicity initiatives will enhance your advertisings effectiveness.) If your business is smaller, you will need to attract the publicity yourself, but again, your reward for effort will be potentially far greater than rushing around like a sparrow, submitting one public tender bid after another, hoping something succeeds.
The Canadian Design and Construction Report January 2012 7

Publicity creates credibility


The reason solid media publicity is so valuable is its helpful impact on your credibility, trust, and therefore your brand. Positive publicity is like great word of mouth, magnified by the reputation and distribution of the media outlet generating the news. With a credible media presence, you will find doors will open that you didnt know exist, and existing clients will be more willing to enthusiastically refer and support your business. Of course, the converse also applies if you are caught up in scandal or bad news, such as safety-related job site deaths, fines or civil/criminal penalties associated with your projects, or consumer complaints of poor service or work quality. You need to be prepared with crisis contingency plans, a set of protocols and rules designed to minimize the damage and (in some cases) restore your business reputation quickly. You wont have the resources for this level of formal planning if you are small but you should always be aware of the rules of the game. Then, if a crisis occurs, you will be able to reduce the damage of negative publicity.

Publicity consultants
Public/media relations consultants and specialists vary greatly in competence. Large known PR agencies may attract you with their best rainmakers, but then assign a junior who doesnt know how to think creatively and is constrained to recommend ineffective, bland, and boring strategies. You can connect with peers in your community and trade association for guidance. If one of your best clients or suppliers is achieving great media relations success, find out how they are doing it. Through references from your trade associations, you may find colleagues in other cities who have achieved great results. Often you can borrow the great ideas elsewhere and apply them in your own community, where they will appear to be new. In most communities, community colleges have publicity/media relations programs. Students can be inexpensive, but their work quality will be uneven. You may connect with media relations specialists and consultants through your community service and non-profit marketing contributions (a great way to gain some publicity for yourself). Ill be happy to exchange email ideas with you about publicity options relevant to you at no charge, and consult with you by phone for an hourly fee in greater detail if you prefer. You can reach me directly at buckshon@cnrgp.com. For my free e-book, The Art and Science of Publicity, email publicity@cnrgp.com. Excerpted from Construction Marketing Ideas: Practical strategies and resources to attract and retain profitable clients for your architectural, engineering or construction business.

Make sure everything is in order first


Be sure all is in order at your business before you seek media attention. You certainly dont want publicity if your employees are violating ethical guidelines, if your site crews are so undisciplined that they dont care about safety, and your client service is so sloppy that people are complaining.

Association thrives serving hundreds of B.C. members in trades construction-related professions


Canadian Construction Women

CaDCR staff writer The association name Canadian Construction Women (CCW) may not tell the whole story, but the history and incredible energy and growth of the B.C.-based group for women in construction shows how the industry is evolving to encompass the female gender. Were in Vancouver and not affiliated with any national organizations, says CCW communications co-ordinator Danica Gallaher. However, we collaborate with national groups when the opportunities present themselves. The association currently has 300 individual and corporate members, with 800 subscribers to the associations regional newsletter. So why is CCW independent of the Canadian Association of Women in Construction, with chapters in several other Canadian communities. Up until 1984, Vancouver women working in construction were affiliated with NAWIC (North American Women in Construction), which was an American association, Gallaher said. These women formed Canadian Construction Women in 1984 when there wasnt a nationwide Canadian organization. In other words, while regionally focused, CCW has pioneered and taken the lead in enhancing the role of women in the construction industry for upwards of three decades. Members include women working in the trades, project management, office administration and other roles. Corporate memberships allow businesses to sponsor all of their women employees. At Ledcor, for example, there are 40 women in our Vancouver office, says Gallaher, who also has communications responsibilities for her employer. The association encourages women to become involved in the construction industry through networking events, she said. We have more of a casual atmosphere where women can learn about the industry, with a lot of educational events with hands-on opportunities. Recently, the association hosted its annual Christmas social event, where members had the opportunity to participate in a fierce gingerbread house competition, along with games, draws and prizes.

News briefs

Prompt payment legslation achieves national support


Ontario draft law to be basis for other provincial initiatives: NTCCC
Special to the Canadian Design and Construction Report Representatives of the National Trade Contractors Coalition of Canada (NTCCC) met in October with trade contractor representatives in Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba and British Columbia, the NTCCC has announced. In addition, MCA Canada chairman Brad Diggens and president Richard McKeagan discussed prompt payment legislation with mechanical contractor members in Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick. The meetings informed provincial trade contractor associations and members of the current status of proposed prompt payment legislation in Ontario, while answering questions and offering support for other provinces seeking to follow Ontarios example. Ontario MPP Dave Levac had introduced the draft prompt payment legislation on June 1, 2011, the same day the legislature was prorogued. Since then, a new draft has been completed, observing standard industry consensusbased contract documents specifically the CCDC#2 prime contract and the CCA subcontract. Ontarios prompt payment legislation Ontario has the support of all three provincial parties, the Council of Ontario Construction Associations (COCA), the Ontario General Contractors Association (OGCA) and the National Trade Contractors Coalition of Canada (NTCCC). The new draft entitled An Act Respecting the Protection and Viability of Construction Contractors is expected to be reintroduced in the Ontario legislature within the next few months. NTCCC chair Bob Hoare (who attended and participated in the October 18, 2011 meeting in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan), said of the recent meetings across the country: I was thrilled to see and hear the enthusiasm expressed by the various provincial trade contractor communities on the prospect of introduction of prompt payment legislation in their respective provinces. This overdue initiative is really taking off! Speaking of his impression of the October 18, 2011 meeting in Edmonton, Alberta, Brad Diggens, President of MJS Mechanical Ltd. (and current national chairman of the Mechanical Contractors Association of Canada) said: I was extremely pleased with the (meeting) turnout and the obvious interest on the part of Alberta trade contractors with regards to the distinct possibility of prompt payment legislation introduction within our province. This inaugural meeting acted as a perfect catalyst to initiate trade contractor synergies within Alberta and will lead to other important trade contractor initiatives in the future. Betty McInerney, executive director of the Mechanical Contractors Association of Manitoba (which hosted the October 19, 2011 meeting in Winnipeg) said: The meeting in Winnipeg with NTCCC representatives garnered a lot of interest from several of the trade contractors and trade associations in Manitoba. This is definitely an issue that needs addressing. Weve already begun to discuss our next steps! Thanks go to the Ontario trade contractors who took the lead on this. Attendees from British Columbia, Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia also expressed support for the natioanl prompt payment legislation initiative. NTCCC chairman Bob Hoare, says he is:excited and enthusiastic about the prospects of a true industry partnership working together with COCA and OGCA on this extremely important matter for the construction industry. The NTCCC was established in 2004 to provide an organized forum for Canadas national trade organizations to share information, resources, and to collaborate on issues that are of common interest all. Members include the Canadian Roofing Contractors Association, Canadian Automatic Sprinkler Association, Canadian Masonry Contractors Association, Canadian Electrical Contractors Association, Mechanical Contractors Association of Canada, Interior Systems Contractors Association, Thermal Insulation Association of Canada, Heating Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Institute of Canada-Contractors Division, Sheet-Metal Contractors Association, and the Canadian Institute of Steel Construction.

CCA welcomes federal government infrastructure plans


Special to the Canadian Design and Construction Report The Canadian Construction Association (CCA) has welcomed the Nov. 30 federal government announcement unveiling its strategy to develop a successor program for the current Building Canada Plan. CCA applauds this announcement, which is an important first step in the development of a longterm national infrastructure plan, said CCA president Michael Atkinson. This will ensure that there will be no federal funding gaps when the existing Building Canada Plan expires in March of 2014. As an export-driven economy, the efficient flow of primary and manufactured goods or services outside its borders has been a key factor in Canadas prosperity. Canadas ability to conduct business and its reputation as a global supplier of goods and services depends on continued investment to improve Canadian infrastructure. The investment in, and condition of, Canadas infrastructure has been a barometer of its overall economic health, Atkinson continued. Since infrastructure is essential for productivity, innovation, competitiveness and economic growth, it is imperative that governments continue to invest in these assets. CCA members have long advocated a federal leadership role in the development of a long-term national plan for the management and renewal of Canadas ageing infrastructure. The introduction of the Building Canada Plan was a concerted effort on the part of all governments to do so, and was welcomed by the Canadian construction industry. Since that time, CCA has been pleased with the federal government commitment to consult with provincial, territorial and municipal governments, as well as industry stakeholders, which is an important next step in the modernization of the Canadian infrastructure network. Todays announcement reconfirms this governments intent to remain a long-term funding partner in the development and management of infrastructure across Canada, Atkinson said.

OUR MISSION: To facilitate the success of women in the Canadian construction industry by uniting our voices, knowledge and resources through the passion of our members and the women we inspire.

Goodwill Social Enterprises Abilities Centre, London, Ontario

McKay-Cocker designs and builds practical facility with accessibility, environment and community in mind

Heather Seftel-Kirk Canadian Design and Construction Report Special Feature The new Goodwill Social Enterprises Centre in London, a three-storey, design-build facility constructed by McKay-Cocker Construction Ltd., allows the organization to provide all of its services at one site. Before we were all in separate locations so this solidifies our mission moving forward, makes us more accessible to the people who need us and will help use create more jobs because we can now serve our clients better, said James Draper, Goodwills associate marketing director. McKay-Cocker project manager Nate Fehrman says the project includes a main floor retail facility, collections warehouse and future caf. The second floor houses offices and classrooms and the third floor corporate offices and conference space. The biggest challenge: Finding enough staging space to work on the construction. There are always challenges to a downtown site, Fehrman said. Here, Goodwill had to enter into an agreement with a neighbour to borrow land, with a condition it would be restored to its current condition post-construction. Located in the heart of an older area, municipal officials had a great deal of input into the design and added their own flavour to the exterior finishes to facilitate continuity and fluidity in the area. McKay-Cocker also considered environmental and accessibility issues in designing the project. Staying within the budget, the building uses energy-efficient lighting and glass.
12 January 2012 The Canadian Design and Construction Report

The building is entirely accessible according to building code but we also worked towards the City of Londons FADS (Facility Accessibility Design Standards) which are much higher, Fehrman said. That meant wider halls and doors beyond code, a family washroom with a call button and adult change facilities. Parking and traffic flow presented special challenges. There were concerns with the longer term use of the parking lot and the short term retail parking, he said. We defined the flow of traffic into and out of the space based on destination, with the store entrance on one side and the office entrance on another. The location of the building actually facilitated a fairly creative solution so there should be no problems, even once the building is fully tenanted. Two key components of the new facility include the Goodwill store and career centre. Draper says the whole space is cleaner and brighter. The career centre is more professional and the shopping experience we now offer is more open and inviting. The donation process has been made easier through

a drive-in drop off and the staff is so pleased to be able to connect and really work together for the first time in this combined space. Draper says future plans for currently vacant spaces include adding partner groups and other non-profit organizations and a caf, which will include an education element for people interested in careers in food service.

Draper says though an official grand opening has yet to take place, the store experienced record sales on its first day of actual operation with continued high sales ever since. There has been a real buzz about the new space and people are coming to see what its all about. For more information about McKayCocker visit www.mckaycocker.com.

RCMP Building Dartmouth

$100 million project amalgamates 10 locations in LEED Gold project


By Heather Seftel-Kirk Special to Canadian Design and Construction Report For the RCMP in Nova Scotia, a long-awaited project to amalgamate 10 locations, with more than 500 employees within the Halifax Regional Municipality, to a central facility has finally been achieved through the construction of a new Dartmouth building by Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC). Through a federal government investment of more than $100 million, this facility will provide an accommodation solution to resolve the challenges of a scattered workforce and address the shortfalls in facilities now reaching the end of their lives. It will also streamline operations significantly within the province. Bill Fioratos, PWGSCs project director for RCMP H Division, says the facility will have two distinct elements. There is a five-storey administrative block and a one-storey technical block of special purpose space that will include storage, special handling facilities and workshops. Built by PCL Constructors on a campus in Burnside Business Park owned by the federal government, the site is best suited to meet the the RCMPs needs. Besides the land mass, this site was chosen many years ago because it met our requirements for easy highway and airport access.
14 January 2012 The Canadian Design and Construction Report

The buildings design is both a reflection of the space requirements and a deliberate statement reflecting a durability and prominence on its impact on the landscape, Fioratos said. The longer dimension runs east/west and is curved to follow and attract the sun. The south face is concave and constructed of brick and glass. The whole facility is long and narrow so there is great light penetration, which creates a really nice atmosphere for employees. The buildings northern exposure is a glass curtain wall with a convex public view. As you enter the property, there is a natural draw to the centre of the building, which is where the main public entrance lies. The main entrance circular rotunda will be grand and reminiscent of the old days of the Northwest Mounted Police and a traditional parade square area. A large, black granite wall will go from inside the space outward, and will display the RCMP logo. The wall will provide information and notice boards and a display focusing on RCMPs Nova Scotia history.

The exterior portion of the wall will also be a backdrop for our memorial garden, displaying the names of all RCMP officers who have fallen in the line of duty in the province, said Fioratos. This will be a beautiful and reflective place to hold special events and occasions. Aiming for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification, the new headquarters have one of the largest green roofs in Atlantic Canada, rainwater harvesting and retention for landscaping and toilets and a sophisticated air handling system. The system will measure CO2 in the air and provide fresh air to adjust the levels as needed to ensure better air quality throughout the building, he said. Well under construction now, finishing touches are being made to the building envelope and internal components will be completed by the end of 2012. Both the RCMP and Public Works and Government Services Canada are proud of the work this far on this project, Fioratos said. Through the efforts of a number of good partners involved with us, we are aiming for completion on time and within budget.

Wood WORKS!
By Heather Seftel-Kirk Special to Canadian Design and Construction Report On November 7th, Alberta Wood WORKS! honoured recipients of the 2011 Prairie Wood Design Awards with a celebration at the Fairmont Hotel Macdonald in Edmonton. The annual event showcases both outstanding uses of wood products and those with a dedicated commitment to fostering new ideas and developing innovative solutions, with a singular focus on projects in the prairies and territories. The event gathered more than 150 professionals, project teams and industry sponsors to recognize achievement and leadership in the use of wood through seven categories. More than 40 nominations were considered for these prestigious awards. Rory Koska, technical advisor with Alberta Wood WORKS! said they were delighted by the quality of the entries this year. These awards showcase buildings designed with structural wood and recognize achievement in interior beauty with wood. They provide the design community with a stage to showcase excellence and this years nominees certainly displayed excellence. The panel of judges: Tye Farrow, Senior Partner, Farrow Partnership Architects Inc., Michael Green, Principal, mcfarlane green biggar Architecture + Design; Brian Rudy, Associate, Project Architect, Moriyama & Teshima were drawn from national architectural firms, selected the following as winners: Residential : WY House - Winnipeg, MB - Syverson Monteyne Architecture Interior Design Showcase : SECFS Office Renovation - Winnipeg, MB - Michael Robertson Architect, Melissa Sarrasin

use of wood that they gave an award to the historic society as well. Besides showcasing the use of wood in these stunning projects, the goal of Alberta Wood WORKS is to increase the structural use of wood in non-residential projects through education and opening dialogues. There is a real stigma out there and many people still see wood as inferior. Canada leads the world in forest management and in fact, here it is a well-practiced art form. Forests here work on a 60-100 year cycle, which is actually quite natural. Koska says much of their work involves opening dialogues, and providing workshops, training and seminars for the design and construction community, and with government regulators and decision-makers, to ensure they have the facts about wood use in Canada. Through the awards process, they showcase the results and achievements met through a commitment to appropriate wood use. Alberta Wood WORKS! Is part of a national campaign to promote the use of wood in construction and design. In Alberta, the initiative is a joint venture between the Canadian Wood Council and the Alberta Forest Products Association. For more information, visit woodworks.org/alberta.

RENOS for HEROES needs all kinds of volunteers, from within and without the Canadian home improvement industry. If you are a homebuilder, renovator or tradesperson, we need you! If you work for a firm manufacturing or supplying home improvement products to building supply yards or hardware stores, we need you. If you are the owner of, or are employed at, a home improvement retail store, we need you. If you are none of the above, but just want to help, we need you!

Founded in 2009 by master contractorJim Caruk, Renos for Heroes (RFH), is a not-for-profit initiative dedicated to providing essential home building and re-design services to our injured Canadian soldiers who have lost limbs in battle. Through ongoing fundraising programs, the support of the Caruk Group of Companies, and a growing team of volunteer contractors, associations and suppliers, RFH provides the specialised building skills and materials needed to help these national heroes regain dignity and mobility in their own homes. RFH is a growing, emerging program, and one were tremendously proud of, said Caruk. As we build our calendar for 2012, our number one focus is a call-toaction within the construction industry. Our goal, along with media sponsor Construction News and Report Group (CNRGP), is to get the word out about the sacrifice of these extraordinary men and women, and help bridge the funding gap by gathering specialized building expertise, materials and support. Our fellow professionals and associations can really make the difference here. The CNRGP serves the construction market and has several publications distributed to thousands of businesses throughout Ontario, including contractors, architects, engineers, building owners, government officials and developers, along with a national online publication which reaches an addition 75,000 readers across Canada. The latest issues are available to view at cnrgponline.weebly.com/current-issues.html . Were excited to begin working with Jim and the Renos for Heroes team to help promote awareness and understanding for our readers across the industry, said CNRGP co-ordinating publisher Tim Lawlor. Our veterans never hesitated to go to work for us, and this foundation presents a unique opportunity for our professionals at every level to give back, and honour them in a variety of ways; whether through fundraising, supplies, or skilled labour. Caruk went on to say, At RFH we are also ramping up our internal education and advocacy efforts, and will continue to learn directly from the veterans we hope to serve. For these individuals, its absolutely an issue of mobility, but also one of dignity, comfort and especially safety, as they return to their families and an often overwhelming home environment.

Wood WORKS! Award Winners Announced: Wood design solutions for diverse building types showcased
(Ottawa, November 3, 2011) An elite group of Ontarios leading architects, engineers, and project teams received Wood Design Awards at the 11th annual Wood WORKS! awards celebration. The awards recognize people and organizations that, through design excellence and innovation, are advancing the use of wood in construction. Design professionals in Ontario are specifying wood in a wider variety of building types, said Marianne Berube, Wood WORKS! Ontarios Executive Director. This is an exciting trend because the benefits of wood construction are so significant. Increased wood use supports Ontarios second largest economic engine and has positive outcomes for forest dependent communities across the province. Globally, design solutions that incorporate sustainably sourced wood products help us reduce our CO2 emissions. Since wood products actually store carbon, when we use wood in place of non-renewable materials that require large amounts of fossil fuels to produce, we greatly reduce the carbon footprint of any building. In addition to woods environmental advantages, new products and advancements in manufacturing have ensured that todays wood products are stronger, smarter and more versatile than ever. As a result, applications for wood products are almost unlimited and, through design innovation, architects and engineers can create larger wood buildings of diverse occupancies that meet or exceed the requirements for safety and performance. It is our privilege to celebrate some of the best of these buildings each year through the Wood WORKS! Awards program. Working with the design community, Wood WORKS! connects practitioners with resources related to the use of wood in commercial, industrial and institutional construction, assists in product sourcing, and delivers educational seminars and training opportunities. We are proud to honour people who, through their work with wood, enrich our built environment and lead the way for future excellence and innovation in wood design and building, concluded Berube.

Project: Architect: Engineer: Christopher Children's Centre, Cambridge, ON Lillepold Dowling Architects in association with CS&P Architects Blackwell Bowick Partnership Ltd.

Sustainability and economic goals led to the incorporation of wood as the primary structural element in a fully-sprinklered building type, and allowed for a rapid and low-tech construction system utilizing a renewable resource harvested to FSC requirements. The project was designed toward LEED Silver and may attain LEED Gold. Large overhangs are cantilevered with LVL beams providing generous covered play areas, solar shading, and protection for the wood siding. The High-Scope Curriculum used within the childcare centre advocates a learning environment where children are in contact with natural materials, and wood provided a variety of colours, textures and species - from the smooth face of White Maple panels and solid Black Walnut benches in corridors and classrooms to rough sawn siding and battens at the exterior. In addition to the buildings numerous sustainability strategies, the daycare center has an extensive recycling program which includes collection of organic waste. Furthermore, over 95% of generated construction waste was sent to recycling facilities and diverted from landfill. Over 15% of all construction materials were produced from recycled content, and over 30% of construction materials were produced regionally. The energy efficiency features employed in the centre result in energy use 45% below MNECB, eliminating approximately 40.5 tons of CO2 emissions annually compared to a similar building built to code.

The Harbour Light is the flagship facility of the Salvation Army in the downtown core of Toronto. The sevenstorey, 8,500 square meter building houses a community church, transitional housing, a residential addictions recovery program, and community & family services. The north wing is a short-term residential addiction recovery facility operated in conjunction with the Ministry of Health Long Term Care that houses 48 single, double and triple dwelling rooms over six floors. Residents are brought together as extended family groups of 15 with their own counselor eventually graduating to one of the 98 transitional apartments located in the south wing of the building with continued access to counselors as well as education, job training and employment services. Maple floors and red oak millwork and cabinetry are used throughout the Harbour Light to civilize the building's institutional qualities and bring a sense of home to the apartments and clinic. The community Chapel sits as an independent volume to the north of the residence wings. It is clad in polycarbonate panels backlit to produce a beacon of, light, emblematic of the centre's mandate as a place of hope. They rise above the solid masonry base and cut back to reveal two crosses incised into the brick. The Sanctuary of the church is the heart of the Harbour Light. It is constructed entirely of wood at the interior within the shell of exterior masonry and polycarbonate. Red oak is used for the interior walls, with the lower portions in a solid pattern derived from shingles for acoustic reflection. The upper walls and ceiling are oak in acoustically transparent and absorptive patterns. The floor is maple with wooden louvres.

Commercial Wood Design


Sponsored by Tembec
The House in Frogs Hollow is a 2,000 SF country retreat located on a long slope of the Niagara Escarpment overlooking Georgian Bay. The property is a collection of eroded clay hills and protected watershed zones blanketed with a dense field of hawthorn and native grasses. The clients are avid cyclists who spent months on the property prior to construction camping and cutting in discreet biking trails. They wanted their house to be connected to this unique landscape. Aside from the natural beauty of the material, building in wood was important for a number of reasons. First and foremost was the desire to use the skills of local trades. By using local labour and modifying the structure and details to complement their skills, the house was built better and more economically. For example, the original stair had details that were a combination of drywall and wood. After discussions with the contractor about the high skill level of the carpenters, If we changed the design to be 100% wood and ended up with a more elegant and better built stair. Wood was also pivotal in the CNC aspects of the project. It allowed great flexibility in types of fabrication (for both solid and built up laminate construction techniques) and was lightweight and easy to mill, transport, and install. The house is 2x6 wood frame with LVL and 2x10 structural members. The floor and roof systems are 2x10 wood joists and 9-1/2" TJI 110s.The siding of the upper volume is custom milled 2x8 (actual) pine boards that were CNC milled by the architect on a 3-axis router with a custom pattern that registers the shadows created by the sun as it moves around the house. The siding is finished with Falun Red, an iron oxide pigment in a linseed oil base. This finish allowed the use of more economical wood in this area because it impregnates the wood instead of floating on top. All eight sides of each piece were finished and then a final coat was applied on the exterior after installation. The pigment will not require reapplication for 15 years. The lower volume is western red cedar siding installed vertically and sealed clear to keep it bright. Interior cabinets and stair paneling is birch veneer. The stair balustrade and treads are solid birch. The curved interior stair, designed and fabricated by the architect, is made of custom CNC milled birch plywood profiles. The windows and interior trim are Douglas Fir.

This project is a 38,000 SF (3,541 SM) sand and salt storage building. Wood was used exclusively in the sand and salt unloading, storage and reloading portion of the building. Wood was selected for its inherent resistance to corrosion, its strength, and the economical solution it offered for the total assembly. The combination of fire retardant treated lumber and plywood with the heavy timber glulam construction offered the necessary fire performance required in this rural setting. This building is a great example of the effective use of wood for tall wall construction in a large industrial building. It also shows the range of structural wood products available which can contribute to the success of a project like this. Products used include pre-fabricated wood trusses made from fire retardant treated lumber; 2x10, 2x12 and glulam wall studs; CSP plywood for roof diaphragm and shear walls; glulam beams, headers and columns (up to 14 2/8 x 72); and pre-fabricated wall panels up to 52 high.

Project: Architect: Engineer: Lippincott Living, Toronto, ON Bradley Netkin Architect Hamann Engineering

Lippincott Living is an 8-unit, 1,266 SM row house development in Toronto. Wood is an excellent material for low rise, multi-unit housing. It is used in many ways in Lippincott Living due to its aesthetic quality, versatility, economy, durability, renewability. The wood framing provides function and the finishing materials enhance the warmth and intimacy of both the interior and exterior spaces. Wood was used for framing, exterior cladding, decking, landscaping, flooring and millwork. The framing was prefabricated in a local factory. The overall cost to pursue a pre-fabricated option instead of conventional framing methods was less than 10% of the framing cost and less than 1% of the building cost. Wall, floor and roof panels were built in a shop and incorporate engineered and recycled materials. This resulted in a better quality product, and faster installation. Pre-fabrication also minimized waste and materials. Panels were shipped to the site and erected by crane in January of 2010. The building was framed in 3 weeks which was critical since the building needed to be complete by June 2010 or the homes would be subject to HST. This would have added over $70,000 to the purchase price of each home. The project was built and sold in 10 months. The fence boards and siding are finished with factory paint and provided with an excellent warranty on durability and finish. This is an important factor for builders and condominium owners. Interior finishes also incorporate wood.

Project: Architect: Engineer: Brooklin Community Centre and Library, Brooklin, ON Perkins + Will Canada, Inc. Blackwell Bowick Partnership Ltd.

A remnant forest in the historic village of Brooklin, Ontario provides the setting and inspiration for this 48,000 SF district Library and Community Centre. Each of the key program areas (library, community centre and gymnasium) are housed in one of three linked structures whose rooflines and simple forms recall the region's agrarian and industrial roots. A sophisticated approach to structural articulation, detailing and materiality transforms a regional inspiration into a sharply articulated response to the design issues of the 21st century. Porches, breezeways and glazed links provide common space and allow the three shed volumes to frame courtyards and views into the surrounding hardwood forest. Each of the key program areas is accommodated under a pitched roof with exposed structure. To evoke agrarian structures and to provide a sense of warmth an intimacy within this relatively large complex, wood was used throughout for the structural roof decking. Lightweight steel cable trusses provide an economical, long span solution and allow the wood to provide the primary material characteristic of the large spaces. Throughout the interior, wood is used extensively in the creation of custom millwork counters which feature robust planes of Oak butcher-block. Walls and ceiling feature oak slat acoustic panels and doors are all solid core wood with oak or maple veneer. Oak and maple are used for their durability but also to provide an association with the hardwood forest which is seen through expansive glazing. The strategy of articulating the program as a series of discrete elements allows the building to bridge the fine grained urban fabric of the village and its wooded site. The planimetric arrangement maximizes the enjoyment of the naturalized setting and the penetration of daylight into the building's program spaces. As a legacy to the Village of Brooklin, the projects sets an example for a considered approach to building siting and form that is highly responsive to the natural and built heritage of the area. The resulting design achieves an intimacy of scale and a variety of spatial experiences rarely achieved in a multi-use facility of its size. The use of wood is an important part of this overall design strategy, not only for its sustainability but also for its cultural and historical resonance. The combination of wood in a wide range of interior elements as well as the building structure provides a strong connection to the building's naturalized site and its economic and cultural roots -The Brooklin Sawmill on Lind Creek provided the economic engine of the community for early settlers. The continued integration of local wood working trades and regional suppliers of timber products into this significant public building carried an important message to the local community while rooting it to its context.

This year, rather than recognizing a single firm for a body of work, we recognize an initiative undertaken cooperatively by four Toronto-based engineering firms who are donating man-hours to rebuild schools in the rural Haitian communities most affected by the 2010 earthquake. The Embouchure School is a plywood diaphragm on wood trusses with plywood gusset plates on load bearing wood shear walls. A built-up wood ring beam was used to distribute diaphragm loads to the shear walls below. The site is remote, and materials were carried 9km by hand into a mountain valley and along a river. The school was constructed by local skilled and unskilled labour. Wood was light enough to make the journey and mistakes were easier to correct than any other material would have been. The engineers working on this project are also training local Haitian Engineers in Best Practices for Engineering.

Inspired by the wooden barns found in the surrounding landscape, the form and finishes of this residence are as simple and pure to the vernacular as possible and strong connections to the landscape are made through large windows carefully oriented toward the stunning surroundings. The focus of this sustainable house was to build small, and to build a well-insulated high quality wood exterior envelope. The truss design provides ample space for insulation. Given that the residents may be absent for weeks at a time, the wood structure is designed to withstand significant snow accumulation and the freeze/thaw phenomenon of spring. All aspects of the exterior walls, doors, and roof were detailed to withstand harsh winters. Window and door opening sizes and orientation were carefully tuned to take full advantage of natural ventilation and shading in summer and passive solar gain in winter. This allowed the house to be built without any mechanical air conditioning. The project employed local materials trades wherever possible. Notably, this is the firm's first completely drywall-free house. All of the walls and ceilings are completely clad in local 6 pine boards whitewashed with a coat of thinned latex paint which allows the natural texture of the wood to telegraph through. The kitchen and bathroom millwork was all built on site of solid birch with an oiled finish of natural linseed. The interior of the stair is fully clad in plywood but left natural in this location and oiled for wear. By experimenting with the many ways in which wood can be finished, the house captures a varied interior environment, all enhanced by the warm glow inherent to wood. Even the skylights in the roof have been encased with wood pine veneered plywood. They bring light and ventilation to the sleeping loft and draw focused light down into the stair. Using wood was central to the design. It is a renewable and local material capable of referencing the barn vernacular while still creating a contemporary house.

The principal concept behind the master plan of the project is the Medicine Wheel, a powerful 350-metre wide circular mark on the land, capable of being seen from the airplane which is the main means of arrival for the majority of the patients to the centre. The circle of the Medicine Wheel gives the project a forceful compositional focus. At the centre of the circle is the Main Gathering Space, the primary access point of the Hospital. Constructed entirely of heavy timber, tree-like columns support the timber beams and rafters of the octagonal wood roof structure, providing a warm, welcoming orientation device for patients and visitors alike. Further along a diagonal corridor, is the canoe shaped Ambulatory Lobby. Within this area, round timber columns support a system of timber trusses separated from the surrounding flat roof by a clerestory that allows sunlight to comfort the waiting patients. The inpatient wing is surrounded by generous roof overhangs with regular timber clad supports which, together with a series of landscaped courtyards, manage the natural light penetration and further reduce the institutional image and scale of the facility. Timber structure canopies protect and welcome the public at the main entrances to the facility. Wood use was maximized within the parameters established in the OBC for a building required to be of noncombustible construction. Products used include solid Douglas fir columns, beams rafters and heavy timber roof decking; solid Douglas fir exterior columns, beams and rafters at canopies and roof overhangs; as well as fir veneer plywood cladding and solid clear cedar wall cladding.

Wood Champion: Roger Sigouin, Mayor of Hearst, ON

Since the beginning of Wood WORKS! in Ontario, there have been some very special champions who have consistently selected wood in projects, who have overcome objections to building with wood and who have lead the way for other communities to take up the challenge and actively support Ontarios forest products industry, our provinces second largest economic engine. Mayor Roger Sigouin is one of those wood champions. Nearly 10 years ago the town of Hearst was one of the first to pass a Build with Wood Resolution and has since become a model town in this regard, using wood in all public buildings. This required leadership and commitment. In one instance, Mayor Sigouin went as far to send plans for a long-term care facility back to the architect to re-do when it wasnt designed in wood. As a result, Pioneer Nursing Home, Notre-Dame Hospital, the Town Hall and Community Centre renovations, and the recent Heritage Sawmill all incorporated wood. Mayor Sigouin is a community leader known across the province and amongst his peers as an advocate for the sustainable use of forests. The new Hearst Regional Green Technologies Centre will make Hearst a model community showcasing new green energy technology and education that will support the future of Ontarios forest industry.

Saint John Hazen Creek Wastewater Treatment Project

$79.8 million project improves environment after a decades planning and preparation
By Heather Seftel-Kirk Special Feature

28 January 2012 The Canadian Design and Construction Report

After 10 years of planning and preparation, the city of Saint John has a new and operational wastewater treatment facility, the Eastern (Hazen Creek) Wastewater Treatment Facility. Part of a larger wastewater strategy, the facility is the largest in the city and one part of a $79.8 million project, equally funded by federal, provincial and municipal sources, and includes 22 pumping stations, collector sewers and necessary infrastructure. CBCL Limited took on the challenge of designing and administering construction of the challenging project. Pomerleau was the general contractor. Sharon Stanford-Rutter, communications manager with Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA), the body managing the $26.6 million federal grant money, says the wastewater treatment strategy is part of a larger picture to clean up the harbor by redirecting wastewater emptying into it to a proper treatment facility. The goal is to have zero raw sewage dumped into the waterways. Brian Keenan, engineering manager, municipal operations and engineering for the City of Saint John, says the city commissioned the wastewater strategy in 1993.

At that time we were only treating about 40 per cent of wastewater and the rest was discharged through outfalls into the harbor and river, he said. The City hired a consultant who came up with a plan to intercept these outfalls and convey them for treatment. In the 1990s, the city upgraded treatment facilities on the west and north ends to increase their capacity but Keenan said that still did not address the low capacity in the east end, where the existing treatment facility could not be adequately upgraded to take on existing loads. In 2001 the city hired a consultant to do a preliminary design to fix the problem and in 2005 they were engaged to do a detailed design, which was completed in 2008. The plan recommended a new facility be built around the existing so it could still be operational until the new site was ready to go online. It also called for 22 pumping stations and collector sewers to intercept the raw sewage and redirect it for treatment. The detailed design was completed in 2008 and the same year the city signed an agreement with Canada Strategic Infrastructure Funding and construction began by spring of 2009.

The facility has achieved substantial completion and opened with an official ribbon cutting ceremony. Currently operating at about 5,000 cubic meters per day, Keenan said the facility will gradually increase its treated flow as more pumping stations are brought on line. By the end of 2012 the plant should be operating at full capacity and that gives us until March to finish funding paperwork. CBCL design team leader Kevin Murphy said CBCL provided all the design services for the project, with the exception of the geotechnical design. We carried out the environmental permitting work for the city, which included acting as liaison with regulatory agencies and public education, he said. Murphy says the city showed real leadership in advancing the design work for this project before they had obtained funding from higher levels of government. This was something that needed to be done and the city took the initiative to start the process, without knowing how or through what means funding might be available. Irving Equipment provided crane rentals and the pile driving of 504 steel H piles covering 4,300 m. over 10 different elevations, which would be used for buildings, clarifiers and tanks. Close communication between all parties allowed for the work to be done in a single phase, rather than the three originally forecasted. The plant is a conventional activated sludge treatment plant with several unique features including a step feed configuration in the secondary treatment process, ammonia removal and a large source capture system with a biofilter ventilation designed to scrub the air in the plant.

The Canadian Design and Construction Report January 2012 31

Another unique feature of the project stems from what Murphy calls a fairly rigorous value engineering process to optimize design. Aeration blowers are the largest energy user in the facility, he said. The city opted to invest in very specialized energy efficient machines. Although costly now they have an eight or nine year return on investment factor. It really showed they were planning ahead and committing to longterm cost savings. The new facility also has a much-improved discharge system, using 1.2 km of outfall line buried beneath the ocean floor of the Bay of Fundy, Keenan said. The installation of this required the digging of a trench, floating the pipe into position, filling it with water and anchoring it with concrete weights, and then backfilling the trench. Where the old outfall used to go across the beach, the new discharge is well into the bay and away from land. The site had some special challenges, Murphy said. The construction was carried out over a 26-month schedule because we had to deal with a number of site constraints, he said. We were working on a site with an existing treatment facility that needed to be kept operational throughout construction. Only after we were sure the new facility was ready were we able to shut down the old plant and begin its demolition. Then there was the environmental sensitivity of the area directly beside us. Demolition Resources Inc. had responsibility for the environmental clean up and demolition of the former treatment facility. It was important to Demolition Resources and the overall management team that the principles of a 3R deconstruction were implemented on this project, project manager John Morrissey said. The various building components, whether structural steel, sheet metal, nonferrous metals, brick, block or concrete materials, were either reused, recycled or, in the case of the inert concrete products, used as clean fill as part of the site reclamation and restoration process. Morrissey says the management team at CBCL and Pomerleau were extremely organized and a pleasure to work with and we congratulate them and the City of Saint John on achieving such a successful project . Keenan says while the entire system is not up and running yet, with just about half the pumping stations tendered and under construction, but as the entire system is put in place, people have and will continue to notice the improve-

ments. There used to be 50 raw sewage discharges throughout the city. There was one in particular, that on a warm summer day, you could smell. Murphy says most people will see the biggest change next summer when more of the pumping stations come online. Funding for the project results from of a tri-level agreement between the city, province and federal governments. The province put $26.6 million into a trust fund which we could access as needed, says Keenan. The federal infrastructure money was allocated through a much more detailed process involving a management committee comprised of members from the city, the government and the funding managers. Keenan says the biggest hurdle for the project was getting through the environmental approvals. The site for the facility is essentially the location of the former treatment facility, which sits directly adjacent to an environmentally sensitive wetland. We had to ensure we adhered to all the guidelines and that all the trades did as well. Keenan indicates project managers and officials communicated progress to city council, communicated through local papers and that every effort was made to ensure the public was up to date with progress. There is a group called Atlantic Coastal Action Program who were very interested and assisted the City early in getting this project started. They were a great partner.

Murphy says CBCL, Pomerleau Construction and the city worked well together and that issues were resolved quickly, co-operatively and efficiently, resulting in a project coming in on time and within the budget. This was a large project over a long duration. There was a significant potential for delays or budget problems, however, none of that happened. Everything came together very well.

Small-town business values at foundation of six-decade business serving central and southern Ontario
Nith Valley Construction of New Hamburgs foundation was formed almost 60 years ago and has evolved over the decades, but remains committed to core small town-business values. We do a lot of work for schools, churches and nursing homes but weve also worked on just about every hospital in the area at one time or another and do a lot of work with the universities, said Ron Roeder, a partner with Bob Zehr in the business serving central and southern Ontario markets. Founded in 1952 as a primarily residential contractor, the business shifted its focus in 1979, to industrial, commercial and institutional projects. The companys central location near Kitchener-Waterloo means company employees can be on site and in many areas within an hour - the main reason they remain where they are - but the location also reflects the values they abide by. People say were different than contractors you might deal with in some of the bigger cities, said Zehr. Clients appreciate that were willing to work with them, not against them. We take a full team approach and if they have a problem, well work with them to solve it. If there is something we can do differently that will save them time or money, well do it. That kind of commitment has resulted in many long-term relationships between Nith Valley and clients. We do a lot of work with churches and because of the nature of what

their facilities are about, they have high expectations, Roeder said. When we get asked back, as we have with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, we know weve done right by them and for us, thats high praise. That same sense of teamwork and looking out for each other is something Nith Valley also applies to its trades. We try to pay trades within 30 days and weve been known to pay our smaller guys quicker when we know it would help them to have it faster. We try to be open and fair with everyone we deal with. Nith Valley has several employees who have been with the company for 20 or more years and some have just retired after spending their entire careers with Nith Valley.

nity Centre for the City of Kitchener, have achieved LEED Gold certification while others are built wisely with environmental considerations in mind without certification requirements. We ensure our staff is fully trained and up to date, Zehr said. Our safety record is exemplary and it is our mandate to ensure safety and compliance at all times.

WIN-DOOR

2011

Toronto show attracts international interest with products, services and information for window and door manufacturers

From left to right: Paul Chackery, Owen Allenand and David Devenish

Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature WIN-DOOR 2011, the annual Fenestration Canada trade show focusing on the suppliers to the manufacturers of the window and door industry, has proven its value for more than 16 years through its combination of specialized education and information exchange, networking and marketing and business development opportunities. The show attracted more than 155 exhibiting companies in 350 booths to the Metro Toronto Convention Centre in November, says show manager Patrick Shield. Well get around 2,600 to 3,000 people, visitors and exhibitors combined. The absolute number of visitors to this show is far less important than their quality, says Fenestration Canada show chair Matt Kottke, marketing support manager at Truth Hardware in

Owatonna, Minnesota. The show is one of two events in North America the other is GlassBuild in the U.S., which focus on the specific interests of window and door manufacturers, rather than retailers and installers. Other shows might attract 5,000 to10,000 people, but they couldnt buy from our exhibitors. Instead, WIN-DOOR attracts 1,800 2,000 very qualified buyers. Fenestration Canada, formerly the Canadian Window and Door Manufacturers Association (CWDMA) sponsors the event in conjunction with its annual meeting, and helps to co-ordinate educational programs to deal with issues such as new technologies, building code and environmental requirements. The show is an excellent chance to see whats new in terms of products and services to the industry, says Fenestration Canada executive director Richard Lipman. It is really a one-stop shopping opportunity.

36 January 2012 The Canadian Design and Construction Report

Shield says that because the show focuses on quality rather than quantity, visitors enjoy perks such as free food, convenient parking and other extras. Although headquartered in the U.S., Kottke says the Canadian market is important to his companys business and has been a relatively healthy market in light of the American and European markets of the past two years. Toronto is an ideal location for the show because the largest percentage of Canadian window and door manufacturers are in the GTA. The show features the machinery, hardware, systems, sealants, testing and technology that will drive the market in the months ahead, Lipman says in a note on the Fenestration Canada website. Its a great place to talk face-to-face with suppliers, see the latest products and connect with the entire window and door industry across Canada. It is your true one-stop shopping opportunity of the year. The comprehensive line-up of educational seminars and live demonstrations includes the Economic Power Hour, an economic forecast from the Altus Group, and such seminars as Ask The Inspectors: Forum on Code Changes, Glass Performance and Energy Efficiency: The Straight Talk, and New Code Changes: A Focus on Exterior Doors.

Fenzi North America: Win-Door helps component supplier connect with market and industry trends

Matt Kottke, Marketing Support Manager at Truth Hardware

Sealers, spacers, flat glass processing and desiccants


CaDCR special feature A component supplier, Fenzi North America is part of a global operation headquartered in Italy. Their Toronto office is the North American centre for all Fenzi products including sealant, spacers, flat glass processing and desiccants. Fenzi general manager David Devenish says the WinDoor North America show has been a positive experience and a great opportunity to show Fenzis Canadian presence and learn what the industry is really seeking. People were talking about making their own insulated glass; others were shopping for raw materials; and others were just interested in changing their systems. Devenish says energy efficient windows and the growing trend for energy ratings and gas retention are becoming more important for the industry. Five years ago there were no requirements for this, he said. Now there are requirements for the initial concentration and an after cycling requirement. Once new changes are put into place in 2012, Fenzi will be in an enhanced market position because the systems we use already support and meet those requirements.

Bird-Stairs serves masonry contractors in Atlantic Canada as supplier Blok-Lok Ltd. celebrates its 50th anniversary
By Heather Seftel-Kirk CaDCR Special Feature

The masonry industry is strong and vital in Atlantic Canada, supported by Blok-Lok Ltd. A premier supplier to the masonry industry in Canada and North America, BlokLok celebrates its 50th anniversary this year and continues to expand its family of companies, and the products it offers the industry. General manager Basil Fazio says the company started out in 1961 as a supplier of masonry wire reinforcing, then branched to anchors, ties and accessories and broadened its longer-term focus to anything masonry related. We recently added a new company to our family and now offer masonry cleaning materials as well, Fazio says. Blok-Lok Ltd., a Hohmann and Barnard company, is cer-

tainly a part of a well-rounded group and I would say, a force in the industry. Blok-Lok is based in Woodbridge, Ontario. The company appreciates and relies on its strong distributor relationships. Bird-Stairs is one of our main distributors, he said. They command most of the market (in Atlantic Canada); are strong, well-respected and well situated. They are great to have as clients and as allies. Fazio says his companys sales are up 30 per cent in the U.S., and are strong in Canada, due largely to an increase in the sale of restoration products. We have 25 years of experience in restoration-related products and our sales show we have both the products and the expertise to support this growing aspect of the industry.

38 January 2012 The Canadian Design and Construction Report

Bird-Stairs division manager Matt Brunt agrees that restoration and renovation is important will become even more significant. Atlantic Canada has a lot of development on the books for the future and much of that involves older structures, he said. As things move forward, restoration skills, tools and products geared in that direction are going to become more of a focus. Blok-Lok is the core of our masonry line and they are well-equipped to support the future of the industry in that direction. Based in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Bird-Stairs also has divisions in Saint John, Moncton, Dartmouth, Halifax and St. Johns, providing extensive coverage throughout Atlantic Canada. Blok-Lok leads the industry in North America with SpiraLok and Torq-Lok anchors and has seen a high demand for specialty stone anchoring products, but the companys researchers and innovators dont stop there. We continue to develop new products and new solutions., said Fazio. People often come to us with unique situations and ask for a solution. When we develop something that will work for them, we are also developing a new product to bring to the market. Blok-Lok supports industry associations and actively participates in developing industry standards and resources. Were involved with many associations and I personally sit on the CSA board looking at the new standards to come

forward in 2014, Fazio says. The associations do so much, leaps and bounds really, in promoting masonry education and bringing young people into the field. He commends the Canadian Masonry Construction Association (CMCA) for their new software to encourage design build projects with masonry in mind and the Canadian Concrete Masonry Producers Association (CCMPA) for their sponsorship of university studies aimed at elevating the field of masonry. These associations do so much to elevate the awareness of and skill of masonry and we believe it is important to give back and to support them. Brunt says Bird-Stairs supports groups such as the Masonry Industry Association of Atlantic Canada. Our company feels strongly that it is important to support (associations) in their efforts and to help develop those markets, he says. We see the importance of training and involving young people in these trades and are pleased to offer our expertise where it can benefit these associations. With dedicated staff for masonry-industry customer service, Brunt says his company has seen in increase in sales in masonry-related products over the past few years and he hopes this is an indicator for the industry as a whole.

2011 Ontario Concrete Awards

Increased interest and attention reflect importance in concrete construction, environmental sustainability

Canadian Design and Report staff writer The 2011 Ontario Concrete Awards provides a forum for architects, designers and contractors to showcase concrete architectural designs and their sustainable and creative projects across the province. The awards have attracted increasing interest and attention in the past 11 years, with support from groups such as the Ready Mixed Concrete Association of Ontario (RMCAO), the Ontario General Contractors Association (OGCA) and the Ontario chapter of the American Concrete Institute (ACI). RMCAO president John Hull says each year has seen a growth in industry awareness and acceptance of the awards program and he is pleased to see the media attention it now draws to concrete and what concrete can do. Each year the nominees seem to take more interest in presenting their projects. The submissions are more professional and more inclusive and the nominees themselves are more engaged.

40 January 2012 The Canadian Design and Construction Report

Hull says this year saw some wonderfully creative projects as far as design and construction, including a higher awareness of the importance of sustainability and greater recognition of concretes performance abilities and architectural features and benefits. I dont think you can look at this awards program and its projects and not be inspired, he said. Society gets excited about new and different ideas and approaches and it is no different here. It is a wonderful venue to see what your peers are doing and how it is measured by society the real users. Hull offers thanks to all the supporters and sponsors of the Ontario Concrete Awards. It takes time and dedication to put this program on. The largest trend spotting identifies sustainability and creativity of concretes abilities as key factors. Architects and designers are beginning to better understand how to identify needs and design and construct, and are learning about more of the attributes and pure sustainable benefits of concrete.

Ontario Concrete Awards recognize innovation and skill

Innocon receives three awards in three categories


Canadian Design and Construction Report staff writer The Ontario Concrete Awards showcase all that is possible; highlighting projects both creative in their use of concrete and innovative in design and product. Innocon president John McCabe saw his company nominated for three projects and in three distinct categories: Material Development and Innovation and Sustainable Concrete Construction for the Lafarge Technical Centre; Architectural Flooring or Hardscape and Specialty Concrete Construction for the Sherbourne Common project; and Specialty Concrete Products Mid to High-Rise Residential for the Absolute World project. McCabe says Innocon focuses on innovation and it is exciting to be part of these award-winning projects. The industry has the ability to produce such a range of products that are sustainable, provide flexibility and inspire design geometries never thought possible, he said. As an industry we are fighting against alternative building materials and these awards show concrete used in ways other materials just couldnt be. McCabe, who clearly has a passion for promoting concrete, says this years awards highlighted concretes flexibility and innovative use. Architects have such great vision and concrete is able to support and inspire those visions, he says. These projects show concrete taking its place as one of the more userfriendly products in the industry and over the coming years well see that even more and people begin to take advantage of the sustainable features inherent in concrete. Structural Floor Finishing received recognition for the Toronto Pearson International Airport Value Park Garage, nominated for Institutional Building and Material Development and Innovation Precast Concrete. Founder and director Adamo Lecce says it is an honor receive the recognition. This is our largest project to date and to see concrete used in this way and on such a scale is impressive.

Lancaster Heating and Cooling


Little extras make a big difference
CaDCR special feature Serving Haldimand, Hamilton, Halton and Niagara, Lancaster Heating and Cooling is a long-standing Carrier-dealer offering residential heating, cooling and indoor air quality services. Residential manager Richard Koning says the familyowned businesses cares about the little extras and attention to detail. We offer our clients better quality product and better installation, as well as 24 hour service, he said. Instead of using subcontractors we have our own staff do the installation and, since they are also the same people who will later service the equipment, they have a vested interest in doing the job well and right the first time. Koning says, as a general rule, installations completed by Lancaster end up replacing more sheet metal than a typical installation and involve more work than most for the price the client pays. When we do an installation we change everything from the ceiling down. In most cases we end up enlarging the return air duct, which is typically too small, and results in higher efficiency for the client. This kind of detailing is standard practice for all of our installers, not a fee-added service. Lancaster works on custom homes and retrofits existing homes. About 99 per cent of what we do involves government rebates for upgrading, he says. We help clients decide on the right product to suit their needs and meet the rebate requirements. Besides heating and cooling systems, Lancaster also installs water heaters, runs gas lines for stove and bbqs and offers maintenance plans for furnaces and air conditioning units with 24/7 live call answering. Servicing of your home equipment is important. Especially at this time of year you want to ensure your system is working properly and that there are no carbon monoxide issues. Koning says in their ever-changing industry, Lancaster recognizes it is important to stay abreast of changes and to upgrade their staffs knowledge of products and processes every step of the way. We are constantly upgrading and ensuring our staff has the most up-to-date training. We have a safety officer on staff to ensure we are following all protocols and adhering to safety standards. We are members of all local associations, both to be part of our community and to stay current with the industry. Some of the new technologies Koning says to watch for are thermostats telling you when service is required and the ability to go online to dial into your home system, both to adjust temperatures and monitor your home while youre away, but also to receive email updates if something does go wrong.
