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 from across the country. The theme of this edition is innovation. We’ve looked at a range of companies and organizations based across Canada – some are developers, some are builders, some are architects, some are interior designers, consultants and contractors, but what they all have in common is a commitment to pushing the boundaries, trying new things, and getting better. As an example of that boundary-pushing, this edition continues our focus on the BC Construction Safety Alliance. We talked more about their Certificate of Recognition (COR®), which has been continuously hones and refined since it was introduced. That effort has paid dividends, as there is now empirical evidence that COR® certified employers exhibit reduced injuries and therefore improved safety outcomes. Another example is Eurohouse Group – a West Vancouverbased builder, interior designer, and supplier of bespoke design materials from countries including Italy, Spain, and France. With every project, they always seek to “deliver something new,” and they’re constantly innovating in terms of both design and construction systems. SJOC Construction is similar, though they mainly work across the GTA. To tell their story of innovation, we spoke to Sean O’Connor, founder and president. He walked us through the company’s rapid and ongoing growth, the systems and processes they have designed to achieve consistency even, and their overriding mission to provide customers with “a better construction experience.” Then there’s Verto360, a company that uses state-of-the-art technology to design, manufacture, and install fully-customized interior environments in a way that’s cleaner, faster, and more sustainable than conventional methods. Innovation is at the core of what they do. For an industry facing challenges including supply chain issues, inflation, and labour shortages, they believe their unique technology-powered approach is the solution. For more on those stories – and more like them, about other innovators across the building spectrum – just keep reading.
