They\u2019re dedicated, but they\u2019re not invincible. Construction Month is how we showcase the industry and recognize its contribution to our economy and society.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Through the BCCA\u2019s HR policies and culture-building services, Builders Code, the association honoured five employers with Builders Code Champion Awards. These companies, says the association, are leading the way in advancing the culture of B.C.\u2019s industrial, commercial and institutional construction sector.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s Builders Code Champions are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Island Red Cedar Construction (Nanaimo) \u2013 Small Contractor of the Year<\/li>\n<li>Lacey Construction (Deroche) \u2013 Community Champion<\/li>\n<li>Houle Electric (Burnaby) \u2013 Contractor of the Year \u2013 and Workplace Culture Champion \u2013 (Large Company Category)<\/li>\n<li>Kinetic Construction (Victoria) \u2013 Recruiting and Hiring Champion<\/li>\n<li>RAM Consulting (Vancouver) \u2013 Workplace Culture Champion \u2013 (Medium Company Category)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The BCCA presented three awards for public sector procurement, explaining that procuring construction services is a highly specialized practice that requires unique experience, knowledge and skill. As the pressure to build housing and other infrastructures collide with skyrocketing costs, labour shortages, and lack of timely payment, procurement best practises are more important than ever for project success. Winners were chosen to for consistently showing leadership in the procurement of construction services. This year\u2019s awards went to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fraser Health, Provincial Health Services Authority, and Vancouver Coastal Health \u2013 Facilities Management Procurement Team<\/li>\n<li>City of Victoria \u2013 Supply Management Services<\/li>\n<li>BC Ministry of Citizen Services \u2013 Procurement Services<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>On April 19, BCCA will present awards for leadership in apprenticeship and community-building at an invitation-only gala dinner in Victoria. These Leadership Awards, says the organization, are an annual opportunity for the construction industry to acknowledge its outstanding people and the companies they represent. The 2023 Leadership Award winners are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Wayne Farey, Campbell Construction (Victoria)<\/li>\n<li>Ryan Thran, Knappett Projects (Comox)<\/li>\n<li>Julia Murrell, Kindred Construction (Vancouver)<\/li>\n<li>Tyler Cameron, Acadia Mechanical (Terrace)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more information about the Construction Month award winners please go to\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.constructionmonth.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.constructionmonth.ca<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bccassn.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.bccassn.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>(function(d, s, id) {\n\t  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n\t  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;\n\t  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n\t  js.src = \"\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&appId=761779333850340&version=v2.0\";\n\t  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n\t}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-5143531171910809\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- News - Bottom -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-5143531171910809\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8320848692\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on-sitemag.com\/construction\/b-c-kicks-off-construction-month-with-a-trove-of-awards\/1003979092\/?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=b-c-kicks-off-construction-month-with-a-trove-of-awards\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">This article was originally posted at Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The British Columbia Construction Association (BCCA) kicked off Construction and Skilled Trades Month by recognizing excellence within the industry in &#8230; <a title=\"B.C. kicks off Construction Month with a trove of awards\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/b-c-kicks-off-construction-month-with-a-trove-of-awards\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about B.C. kicks off Construction Month with a trove of awards\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1085],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15165","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-onsite-magazine","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-33"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15165","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15165"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15165\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15165"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15165"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15165"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
