Two Victoria-based firms have been recognized with awards from the B.C. Construction Association.
Victoria’s Houle Electric and Heritage Masonry were both singled out during the industry’s seventh annual awards.
Houle was recognized as a “builder’s code champion” for its work advancing the culture of the construction industry.
According to the association, recruiting and retaining a diverse range of talent is critical to alleviating B.C.’s construction workforce shortage, and the work done to exemplify builder’s code principles in workplace culture sets Houle and others apart as employers of choice.
Heritage Masonry was recognized in the leadership category, which acknowledges outstanding contributions to the industry.
“Construction month allows us to shine a bright light on the impact our industry has on the lives of British Columbians,” said Chris Atchison, president of the association.
“[Most] 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.”
