The BC Construction Association (BCCA) is recognizing four employers with Builders Code Champion Awards this month who are leading the way in advancing the culture of B.C.’s industrial, commercial, institutional and multi-unit residential housing construction industry.
The 2024 Builders Code Champions are:
- Turner Construction Company (Vancouver) – Workplace Culture Champion.
- Houle Electric (Victoria) – Recruiting, Hiring and Retention Champion.
- CGI Constructors (Victoria/Vancouver) – Recruiting, Hiring and Retention Champion.
- EllisDon (Vancouver) – Community Champion.
Leadership Awards were also handed out to acknowledge the outstanding contributions by B.C. construction companies. This year’s recipients were selected in partnership with BC’s Regional Construction Associations: the Northern Regional Construction Association (NRCA), the Southern Interior Construction Association (SICA), the Vancouver Island Construction Association (VICA) and the Vancouver Regional Construction Association (VRCA).
The 2024 Leadership Award winners are:
• Westcana Electric Ltd. (Prince George).
• Acres Enterprises (Kamloops).
• Heritage Masonry (Victoria).
• Pitt Meadows Plumbing & Mechanical Systems Ltd. (Maple Ridge).
The awards are part of B.C.’s 7th annual Construction and Skilled Trades Month in April where the industry celebrates the collective success of companies. This year’s celebration highlights the importance of the industry’s mentors in shaping the new generation of construction workers, and marks five years of Builders Code culture training, policies and commitments, making construction a more welcoming and inclusive career choice.
“Construction Month allows us to shine a bright light on the impact our industry has on the lives of British Columbians,” says Chris Atchison, BCCA president. “92 per cent of construction owners are small businesses who employ fewer than 20 employees. Day after day, they deliver the important housing, institutional, commercial, industrial and infrastructure projects our province needs. They work hard, and they get the job done. We welcome this opportunity to give them the recognition and respect they deserve.”
