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 from across the country. In this edition, we’ve looked at a broad spectrum of companies and organizations across Canada encompassing the entire design, building, and property management lifecycle. Within these pages are stories on some of the industry’s leading providers of custom homes and cottages, modular homes, heritage buildings, commercial buildings, institutional facilities, and even some whole communities. Ph.D. Design, the company on our cover, is a Toronto-based, full service architectural design firm that specializes in creating distinctive homes that bridge traditional architectural styles with contemporary needs and modern technologies. Since forming over 40 years ago, they have designed and overseen the construction of more than 500 projects in the city’s most prestigious neighbourhoods. We spoke to founder and principal designer Piotr “Peter” Marzynski about his firm’s legacy and what’s powered it. We also highlighted their work in The Kingsway, where the firm has done roughly 20 houses, all of which honour the street’s architectural heritage. Ironclad Earthworks, meanwhile, is a Calgary-based company specializing in heavy civil, renewable energy, and earthworks projects, and they’ve been leading the way for over 15 years. Over those years, they have earned a reputation for taking on projects that others in the industry shy away from. Recently, they have earned particular recognition for their work within the renewable energy sector, specifically on utility-scale solar farm developments across Alberta. Over the past several years they have participated in the construction of multiple large-scale solar farms totalling more than 800 megawatts of renewable generation capacity. To learn what drew the company to that sector – and what makes them so adept at tackling those challenging projects – we caught up with Clint and Stephen Herman, the company’s founders and owners. Also in this issue is Hewson Brothers Building Supply – they’re not builders themselves, but they have long been at the forefront of delivering high-quality building materials and expert service to construction projects across Southern Ontario, Niagara, and the Greater Toronto Area. In our talk with Jeff Stoner, vice president, we covered the company’s long history, which spans four generations and 100-plus years. We also discussed their close connection to their community, as well as the key relationships that have enabled the business to stay independent for so long. For more on those stories – and more like them, about other longstanding industry leaders and family-powered businesses across the building spectrum – just keep reading.
