Sustainability today for a better tomorrow. Because it’s not just how we build; it’s what we leave behind for future generations.

What does it mean to be sustainable? It means making conscious choices for the betterment of the planet. Committing to waste diversion; changing operations that negatively impact the environment - and continuously improving processes. How we build today, affects how we live tomorrow. And that's why we have committed to being net zero by 2040.
Building Envelope
Energy efficiency improvements, such as better insulation, minimizes consumption and cuts costs. We've completed dozens of envelope projects - including the Bonnie Doon Leisure Centre; and have many envelope upgrades in progress throughout each year.
Retrofits
Retrofitting improvements can include the installation of LED lighting, and updating doors, windows and vents to be more energy-efficient. We've completed complex projects - including the Calgary Public Building - and are working on a range of others to meet varying retrofit goals.
Sustainable Standards
LEED is a globally recognized symbol of sustainability achievement and leadership; Zero Carbon Buildings define low-carbon design and operational performance; Passive House promotes energy-efficient buildings; and WELL ensures spaces cater to peoples health and wellness.
Renewable Energy
We've completed a growing portfolio of projects that are powered by energy from renewable resources (sun, wind, hydroelectric, and geothermal heat). The most noteable is Blatchford. It's energy system provides heating and cooling for all development in a 217-hectare area.
Ecological Sites
Building near natural conservation areas requires thorough assessments, and extensive care of the area's wildlife, soil and vegetation. We have completed a range of ecological projects - including the St. Patrick Community School - and, have many in progress.
We’re using innovation and technology to drive sustainable building practices. And we’re always looking for partners who can challenge us to do better.
Barrie Simcoe Emergency Services Campus | IPD | $86M
We diverted 92 per cent of waste during this project through multiple sustainable methods. We even incorporated a phosphorus containment strategy by constructing several large concrete tanks to collect the site water and slowly filter it through a series of pipes within the chamber.
First National Technical Institute | IPD | 48,600 sq ft
This new build will be a bold, state-of-the-art, net zero structure and will represent long-term stewardship of the land. Built on a reclaimed site at the Tyendinaga Mohawk Aairfiled, this project is being completed through IPD and will be the first of its kind in Canada.
Historic Brewery District | CM | $18M
This was more than a simple retrofit. This project involved upgrading and preserving a 100 year old building. Our team was tasked with replacing all floors; updating the beams one-by-one; and doing a full restoration of the interior and exterior masonry.
College of the Rockies Student Housing Complex | CM | $16M
This student housing project is the first multi-dwelling complex in Canada built to achieve Passive House Certification. During construction, great care was taken to protect the surrounding forest with minimal impact to the trees and trails.
