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 taken a look at a diverse array of companies, municipalities, and building projects. Most of them vary greatly in terms of geography, scope of work, and even typology, but a through-line runs through them – they are all dedicated to pushing the industry forward. Each of them has seen the benefits of innovation, and they are committed to innovating even more moving forward. Skyrise Prefab is a prime example – they are a company that was literally created to revolutionize the Canadian construction sector. They were founded in 2015 by some of the country’s most experienced experts in emerging building technologies, including LSF panelized structures and exterior finishing systems. In 2019, they were acquired by STO, a global technology leader in the design of innovative building materials, and the company behind the StoPanel, a high-performance envelope that is lightweight and architecturally-finished. Powered by that acquisition, Skyrise Prefab has “grown tremendously,” according to Royston Rebello, Director of Business Development. We spoke to Royston about that growth, the high-calibre of projects they are contributing to these days, and their ambitious plans for the future. The City of Medicine Hat, meanwhile, is a city in southeast Alberta that has similarly demonstrated a commitment to forward-thinking. In their case, they have particularly embraced environmental sustainability. We caught up with Joe Cartwright, Director of Business Transformation for the city. We talked a lot about the role they are playing in the “green energy revolution,” including their work to reduce emissions from their power generation business through carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS). We also talked about some of their latest infrastructure projects and how they strategically earned and utilized provincial and federal grant money to make them possible. And that’s not all. This edition also includes a profile on one of Calgary’s leading roadbuilding contractors and land developers, Standard General. We talked about their myriad capabilities – in particular their asphalt manufacturing division, which recently contributed greatly to the new Southwest Calgary Ring Road. For those diverse stories, and even more like them, just keep reading.
