Turner Construction is an international construction services company that services a diverse array of market segments. From its myriad of offices across North America and beyond, it employs more than 10,000 people and completes in excess of $15 billion worth of construction on roughly 1,500 projects each year. Wherever Turner operates, it’s known for undertaking large and complex projects, fostering innovative new technologies and making a difference for all its project stakeholders – including clients, employees and communities. Turner’s Vancouver business unit, established in 2011, is no exception. Over the past 12 years, the company has grown its business in the city to more than $350 million in annual revenue, while completing more than 5 million square feet of interior work across the Lower Mainland. According to Michael Fulop, Special Projects Division, that exponential growth has been powered by the experience, commitment and care of the local leadership team. That care, he said, has consistently translated into “detailed constructability analysis; accurate project scheduling, phasing and budgeting; and effective and efficient solutions.” In recent years, the experience and commitment of the Turner Vancouver team has also translated into industry awards. At the 2023 Vancouver Regional Construction Association (VRCA) Awards of Excellence, for example, the company won the Gold Award for “General Contractors – Tenant Improvement – Up to $10 Million.” At the same event, Turner also won a Gold Award in the “Safety: Superior Safety Record” category, and Special Project Division General Superintendent Matt Heesterman received the “Education Leadership Award” for his outstanding work in advancing education in the construction industry. “We’re extremely appreciative,” Fulop said. “It means so much to us. We’re always striving for JANUARY 2024
