The Construction Source

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 from across the country. In this edition, we’ve looked at a broad spectrum of companies and organizations across Canada encompassing the entire design, building, and property management lifecycle. Within these pages are stories on some of the industry’s leading homebuilders, manufacturers, material suppliers, site services providers, electrical trades, property managers, real estate solutions providers, one structural engineering firm, and more. Kor Structural, like their name implies, is the industry-leading structural engineering firm we were fortunate to feature. Though based in Vancouver, their reach actually extends beyond Canada – over the past 25-plus years, they have supported clients throughout the Lower Mainland, the rest of Canada, the Western United States, Mexico, and Asia. We spoke to John Markulin – the firm’s managing principal, as well as one of its founders – about Kor’s history and some of their highlight projects. We also talked about what they are doing now, particularly in British Columbia and California. Looking to the other coast of the country, also featured in this issue, is C.F. Construction – is a longstanding contracting company based out New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, known for providing a complete general contracting service. Over their more-than-30year history, they have developed a service offering including new home construction, home renovations and restorations, cabinet building, excavation and other site development services. They have also developed several sister companies, including a truss manufacturer, a development company, a quarry, and an environmental services provider, making their offering even more complete. We spoke to several key C.F. Construction employees – including Mitchell Fraser, the second-generation leader of the company – about the company’s history, the completeness of their service offering, and their vision to grow even larger. Located between the coasts, in Tecumseh, Ontario, is the home base of Alta Nota Custom Homes. Though historically a custom home and renovation company, they are a company now moving into the multi-unit construction, where they see the most demand and need. We spoke to Agnes Buchcic, the company’s founder and owner, about how they are meeting that need now and their plans to meet that need on an even bigger scale in the future. For more on those stories – and more like them, about other longstanding industry leaders and family-powered businesses across the building spectrum – just keep reading.
