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 across the country. With this edition, we close the chapter on 2023. It was a busy year for the companies featured in our last 12 edition, as supply chains have normalized postpandemic and the looming housing crisis has intensified. In this edition, we’ve highlighted many companies who are doing their part to address that growing crisis: NAI Advent, the company on our cover, is a prime example. They are a progressive, full-service real estate brokerage firm located in Calgary. According to Harvey Russell, Senior Vice President and Principal, that Calgary home base means NAI Advent is in an opportune position to capitalize on the booming housing industry. He talked to us about why Calgary is “the best market in Canada right now,” and what makes NAI Advent so well-positioned to service that market with quality apartment buildings. Also featured in this issue is Villamar Construction, an awardwinning design-builder of of luxury homes and renovations in the Victoria Capital Region. Over their 17-year-history, they have become well-known in their region for the quality of their workmanship and customer service, and that reputation is reflected in the amount of industry awards they have won. We caught up Duane Ensing, Principal Designer, and Kenny Toews, Site Manager, to talk about some of those awards and the projects that won them. Also featured within is Penn-co Construction, a leader in the Manitoba construction industry since 1959. Throughout their 60-plus-year history, they have been committed to creating safe, inclusive, and thriving communities, and that commitment is now stronger than ever as the need for those communities is growing. To find out how Penn-co is meeting that need and what’s powered their company’s continuous growth, we spoke with Dan Reimer, President, Dan Bickerton, Vice President, and Zeb Hudon, Senior Project Manager. For more stories like those – stories of community building, award victories, and continuous improvement – just keep flipping the pages. Until next year – have a happy holiday season, and thank you for reading!
