Looking For Work… And Finding a Passion

The Enduring Strength of Steel
From Beautiful Bridges to Breathtaking Buildings
Of all building materials, one of the most popular—and most vital—is steel. Strong, versatile and long-lasting, steel is an alloy made from iron and small amounts of carbon—often 0.04 percent to 2.25 percent—and small amount of other elements including silicon, phosphorus, sulphur and oxygen. So much more than simply ‘steel,’ there are five main classifications of the material: carbon steels, alloy steels, high-strength low-alloy steels, stainless steels, and tool steels.

Ontario Home Builders’ Association (OHBA)
A Shortage of Homes, a Shortage of Homebuilders—and an Answer
Across Canada, the lack of housing remains a challenge for all levels of government.

As our population keeps growing, and hundreds of thousands of immigrants call Canada home every year, so does the demand for places to live.

What Happens When Buildings Go Up but Construction Elevators Don’t?
In the construction sector, it’s vital to have everything in order, from permits to enough skilled workers and materials to handle the project from start to completion.
