DECEMBER 2024 In 2016, however, Dwayne called him and offered him a job as a site foreman on a townhouse. “He said, ‘I know that this is not something that had been on your horizon, but would you consider it?’” Jacob recalls. “At the time I was kind of just capped out with where I was at with framing, and I was looking for something new.” Looking back, Jacob expresses that he is very grateful that he ended up taking that job because the opportunity it held, and because of the growth he has been able to experience within Converge Construction. In the past six years, the scale of projects Converge Construction manages has grown considerably. From the inception of the company, they been heavily involved in numerous commercial restaurant projects , servicing over 100 Tim Horton locations, Starbucks, Wendys, McDonald’s, Triple O’s, , A&Ws, and much more. The company still takes on some of those tenant improvements, but they are no longer their sole focus. Since their first multi-family project, the company’s portfolio has become a lot more diverse. In 2019, for example, they built a mass timber youth center for the Tsuut’ina Nation. That led to various projects for the Shishalh Nation, which involved the company working out of town in Sechelt for a couple years. Over the past five years, Converge Construction has done a wide variety of work, including large multi-family townhouse subdivisions, high-end custom houses, large commercial storefront projects, and institutional projects for municipalities and First Nations communities. These days, as previously mentioned, the company’s focus is squarely on those larger jobs. According to Jacob, they “thrive” on projects ranging from $5-millon-to-$40 million in contract
