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 wide variety of companies and organizations from across the construction spectrum. Not only have we highlighted some of the nation’s leading designers and builders of custom homes, but also some of the nation’s leading material suppliers and subcontracting experts. Apchin Design + Build, not surprisingly, is an example of a designer and builder of custom homes – since forming in 1985, they have actually delivered some of the most exceptional luxury homes in Western Canada, particularly the Okanagan Valley. These days, they exclusively provide clients with a design-build service, often taking care of everything from finding the perfect property to furnishing the finished product. We spoke with company founder and owner Denis Apchin about that process, and about some of the high-profile projects that have resulted from it. For example, we talked about a luxury ski chalet Denis once designed and built on a triangular lot with a very steep slope. He explained why challenges like that excite him, and in that case how he overcame those challenges to deliver one of the firm’s most highly-acclaimed and luxurious projects. Archi-Tech, meanwhile, is a creative construction, architecture, and interior design firm based in Laval, Quebec. Led by owner and director Roland Dick, they are a firm that works exclusively with private players, particularly in the medical sector. They similarly provide a complete design-build service, orchestrating all stages of the project from start to finish. We talked with Roland, too, about the advantages of that process. We also talked about Roland’s medical background and his affinity for medical projects, and we discussed why clients with those projects also tend to have an affinity for him. Then there’s Parsi Developments – they are family-owned-andoperated development firm based in Victoria, British Columbia. Over the past 20 years, they have built a reputation as a dynamic and forward-thinking company, and they have developed an impressive track record of exceptionally crafted and uniquely-designed residential and commercial spaces. Moving forward, their record is poised to be even more impressive, as they have a series of exciting projects in development not just in the Greater Victoria Area, but also in the flourishing Saint John market in New Brunswick. We spoke with Faaris Kathrada, the company’s CFO and development manager, about their projects in both provinces, and about their overriding goal to make a “positive impact” with all their activities, no matter where they are working. For more on those stories – and more stories like them, from across the construction spectrum – just keep reading.
