was these panels,” Darran says. “That was the first time we experienced that product, and it turned out very well,” he adds. “The result was stunning.” Currently, LAING is working on a similarly adventurous project, which is the KF Aerospace Centre of Excellence inKelowna. That building a non-profit exhibition and conferences centre designed to celebrate the Okanagan’s 50-year history of aviation while delivering a memorable and immersive experience. “That’s a huge building,” Darran says. “We’re doing all the roofing, all the wall systems. And it’s challenging, because when you look at that building from the front, it looks like a giant airplane. So we had to figure out how to curve our ACM panels. When it’s done, it’s going to be a major showcase of what we can do and what we’re capable of. When people see the end result, I think they’re going to be blown away.” As previously mentioned, Darran believes that clients come to LAING with those complex projects due to their history and reputation. In particular, he believes it’s their reputation for being open and honest and communicative that clients respond to. “Some contractors are standoffish, they don’t want to deal with people,” he says. “That’s not us. We like to build personal relationships and have open lines of communication. If there ever is a problem, we want to be able to sit down and talk about it right away, and we want to talk about it openly and honestly. Maybe something wasn’t allotted for. Maybe the design has changed. No matter what theproblemis, thesolution THE CONSTRUCTION SOURCE CANADA
