hundreds of people.” “We’ve always had a desire to be hands-on as the principals, and because of that we’ve always been very careful in terms of growth,” he explains. “We’ve grown along with our clients.” Growing alongside clients has often meant expanding geographically – when the company first started, they primarily worked in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, but within the first few years they started working with clients who were also active in the United States, particularly in California. As a result, Kor Structural has since done many projects in cities including San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Irvine. That work has also led into further work in states including Arizona, Texas, and Washington. Within Canada, the company’s reach has similarly broadened over time, and they have participated in projects in almost every province. Today, Kor Structural is led by 10 principals. In addition to their head office in Vancouver, they also have satellite offices on Vancouver Island and the Okanagan – both opened to accommodate the needs of their clients who were active in those areas. They have done a wide variety of work over the years, and their capabilities remain vast; their clients are primarily private developers, and their projects are mainly residential towers. As a company, they are well known for working with concrete, but they also work on a lot of woodframe and steel buildings. No matter the material or project type, however, John believes Kor Structural earns client loyalty the same way. A lot of it, he says, “has to do with the collaboration that occurs during every project.” THE CONSTRUCTION SOURCE CANADA
