process and achieve the best possible space within their budget projections. Another close partner is BTY Group, an independent consultancy with 44 years of project delivery expertise in real estate, infrastructure and energy assets, across North America and Europe. The firm is an industry leader in providing integrated project management, cost management and construction loan monitoring services for major developers in fast growing markets, including Vancouver and Montreal. Over the past four decades, they have built a business that routinely invests in continuous learning and development and technological innovation in order to provide solutions best suited for each project and its environment. Like Dura Group, they always work towards the best possible outcomes – not just for the project, but also the community and the environment. With partners like those, Dura Group’s goal is to build longstanding relationships. Similarly, they try to build longstanding repeat relationships with their buyers and investors. Steve partly credits the loyalty of those stakeholders to the most obvious factor: “Of course, you have to look at the key metric for investors, which is returns,” he says. “We are able to consistently produce satisfactory returns. Our investors appreciate that.” At the same, he also believes that Dura Group’s transparency and openness goes a long way: “I think that’s another thing that’s very well-appreciated by our partners and stakeholders. Even though we’re a fully private company, and I think we’ll always remain a private company, we take a very public company approach in terms of how we present information. We’re very open and honest in terms of our reporting and in terms of our communication. Our investors and our stakeholders always understand very clearly what’s happening with their projects.” MARCH 2022
