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 highlighted a variety of companies who contribute to the construction industry across Canada, from home builders, to civil construction providers, to developers, material suppliers, mechanical contractors, and at least one manufacturer of a retractable glazing system for balconies. The businesses featured in this issue are very different, but one thing they all share in common is a passion for innovation and making their industry better. The company on our cover, Keith Construction, is a prime example – they are a longstanding family-owned home builder that has been building in Vernon, British Columbia for over 30 years, and in that time they have never stopped striving to innovative and raise industry standards. To learn more about their storied history, along with their exciting vision for the future, we caught up with Bryce Dahlen, who represents the third generation of the family business. He also talked to us about the company’s plans to diversify into multi-family building, and about how changing regulations in the province gave made that more possible than ever. Also in this issue, and also based in British Columbia, is KalWest Mechanical Systems – a Kelowna-based mechanical contracting company and an industry leader in the field of Division 15 mechanical construction. Their history in the region goes back over 35 years. Over that history, they have developed an extensive portfolio of projects including schools, hospitals, sewage and wastewater treatment plants, large office buildings, and more. For more on their story, we spoke to company owners Keith Pearce and Terry Smith, who took over the company in 2018. We talked about how Kal-West has grown and evolved under their leadership, as well as the many important ways it has stayed the same. Moving east a province, this edition also includes Dennis Dirtworx, an industry-leading excavation company serving southern Alberta. Fifteen years ago, they started with one person with a mini-hoe, and now they have over 200 employees and roughly 500 pieces of equipment. In order to understand what powered that growth, we spoke not only to founder and owner Dennis Overweg, but also to his whole leadership team. For those profiles – and many more like them, about other industry leaders across the building space – keep flipping the pages. We hope you enjoy, and that we’ll see you back here next time.
