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 start the chapter on 2026 – on what’s sure to be an interesting year full of innovation, as the construction industry continues to tackle an array of challenges, with the nationwide housing shortage chief among them. Our cover this edition features two companies – Remdal and Gorman Mazzon Limited, both of which have key roles to play in the ho. Remdal, for example, is a company working diligently to renew and rehabilitate the existing housing stock of Birtish Columbia’s Lower Mainland. They provide a variety of property renewal services, including painting, waterproofing, and building envelope renewals, and have for over 50 years. These days, under the leadership of Ken Ewart – the principal owner and chairman of the board – and Michael Prpic – the president and CEO – Remdal continues to expand and add services to their offering. We spoke to both Michael and Ken about that expansion. For that story, we also spoke to Nima Banihashemi, Remdal’s building envelope and waterproofing operation manager. He highlighted the company’s recent work on the Manhattan, a high-rise in Richmond they finished last year, where they devised an innovative and costeffective renewal solution that added an estimated 10-to-15 years to the buildings life. Gorman Mazzon Limited, meanwhile, is a custom home builder based in Richmond Hill, Ontario. They are similarly longstanding – since forming in 1984, they have delivered a long list of high-end residential and commercial projects, and grown entirely through word-of-mouth and repeat business. We spoke to director Lou Mazzon about that history and about a recent clubhouse they did for a golf course in Pickering. Also featured in this edition is Coolearth Architecture, a Torontobased architectural firm dedicated to designing functional, highperforming, and highly energy-efficient buildings. Sheena Sharp, the firm’s founder and principal, talked to us about how buildings can be designed to be beautiful, profitable, and sustainable all at once – and why the idea that you need to choose between those qualities is a pernicious misconception. For those stories and many more like them – about architects, builders, developers, and a variety of innovators from across the construction spectrum – just keep reading.
