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. This time out, we’ve taken a look at a wide variety of industry players – we talked to industry-leading designers, architects, builders, window and door manufacturers, concrete solutions providers, HVAC solutions providers, and much more. Post Architecture, the company on our cover, is example of an industry-leading architecture firm. From their home base in downtown Toronto, they specialize in custom home designs that bridge the gap between traditional architecture and contemporary living. Gloria Apostolou, the principal architect, founded the firm over 10 years ago with the goal of developing “a new language of design” that “reflected how we live today.” We spoke to Gloria about that language, and how their homes can be sensitive to neighbourhood context while still feeling modern and cutting-edge. We also highlighted recent projects in Prince Edward County and Seaton Village where their team utilized some unique courtyard strategies to make the homes feel welcoming on all sides. Brecon Construction, meanwhile, is specialty contracting and carpentry company located in Everett, Ontario. They specialize in the supply and installation of a wide range of wood and metal architectural products, and over the years have contributed to a wide variety of project sizes and typologies. Brent O’Quinn, the company’s owner and field supervisor, talked to us about that versatility, and about why Brecon has become a trusted name in the residential, industrial, commercial, and institutional sectors alike. We also discussed some of their most notable and challenging projects – including the acclaimed AlpenFury at Canada’s Wonderland, a record-breaking, multi-launch steel coaster regarded as one of the largest of its kind in North America. Also in this issue McK Architecture – another well-established and industry-acclaimed architectural firm, but in their case based in Calgary. To tell their story, we caught up with Scott McKay, the firm’s eponymous founder and principal. We talked about the company’s 20-plus-year history, their legacy of work in the healthcare sector, and their love of taking on new challenges. As an example, we highlighted their work on the Peter Lougheed Centre in Calgary, where they worked throughout the pandemic on a $100-millionplus renovation and expansion that included a new emergency department, two new mental health units, a new lab, and a new operating area. For those stories – and a lot more like them, about more industry leaders across the construction spectrum – just keep reading.
