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’re excited to highlight a select list of contractors, developers, and other important industry contributors from all across Canada, from Prince Edward Island all the way to British Columbia. Empresa Enterprises, for example, is a building and development company based in Victoria, British Columbia. Their goal from the start has been to create purpose-built rental housing that strengthens neighbourhoods rather than merely occupying space within them. We spoke to Karl Robertson about how his family legacy informed that goal, and how each of the company’s projects has reflected it. We also dived in-depth on their current project, called Tallinn, which represents the company’s most ambitious and personal undertaking to date. This edition also includes WILMAC Construction, a company based on the other side of the country, in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. Since forming about six years back, they have evolved rapidly from a small consulting company into a turnkey general contractor behind some of the most notable projects in the region. For more on that evolution, we caught up with Tyler Macdonald, the company’s founder and owner. We discussed what’s powered their rapid growth and we highlighted some of their recent projects, including the Regent – a roughly $15 million five-storey timber frame mixed-use project in Summerside. Moving our spotlight west again, this edition also features a look at Magnus Construction Services, a Saskatoon-based company specializing in thermal, moisture and fire protection systems. Throughout their history, they have completed more than 7,000 successful residential and commercial products, and they have been rewarded with a long list of industry accolades for their efforts. Conrad Correa, the company’s founder and president, talked to us about some of those accolades. We also talked about the company’s service offering, which has consistently expanded, and they are in the process of expanding even more. For those stories, and many more like them – about more industryleading innovators and key industry players from all ends of the country – just keep reading.
