All the best, The Editorial Team We will keep adding business units that enhance our offering and separate us from our competition. “ ” Editor From The Dear Reader, Welcome to the latest issue of Construction Source Canada, the magazine that highlights the best in building and building products across the country. In this edition, we’ve highlighted a variety of companies across Canada, from developers, to builders, to architects, to companies that do all three. The businesses featured in this issue are behind some of the most eye-catching, innovative, and noteworthy projects of the last few years. One example is Groupe Dura – they are a real estate developer, manager, private equity investor, and consultant that was founded in Vancouver, now based in Montreal, and that does projects in both locations. We spoke to co-founder and CEO Steve Di Friscia about some of those projects, including ‘YUL’ in Montreal, ‘Horizon 21’ in Coquitlam, and the ’Cambie + King Edward Condos’ in Vancouver. According to Steve, each of those projects exceeded even Dura Group’s expectations in terms of design and quality. Also in this issue is Griffith Homes, an award-winning, familyowned company that has been building and renovating in B.C.’s Comox Valley for two generations. To tell their story, we caught up with founder and owner Tavis Griffith. He walked us through his vision to be recognized as “conscientious and quality builder” of “forever homes.” He also talked about their passion for building to passive house standards, like they did with their recent award-winning ‘Eagle Eye Passive House’ project. Then there’s Rocky Point Engineering – a building services mechanical engineering company, with offices situated in Vancouver, Langley, Victoria, Nanaimo, Kelowna, Kamloops and Nelson. For a company with 90-plus employees, they are unique in that they are still powered by their principals, who all take a hands-on approach and work closely with clients. We spoke to Aaron Mullaley, the principal in charge of the Nanaimo office – he explained their approach, the advantages of it, and the longlasting relationships it has helped them maintain with clients and partners. For those stories – and many more like them, about other industry leaders in the design, building, and development spaces – keep flipping the pages. We hope you enjoy, and that we’ll see you back here next time.
