This week we jump into a great conversation with Ryan Andrews of PCL Construction's Infrastructure Manager for the BC Region along with serial entrepreneur, real estate investor and co-owner of the Penticton Speedway, Mr Ingo Seibert. The purpose of this weeks episode is to gain an understanding of what billion dollar corporations are seeing, why they believe in the region and why they are continuing to help the province build the necessary infrastructure for what will be a major increase in population and density. Furthermore, we contrast that from the perspective of smaller entrepreneurs, what they have been up against since the pandemic and how they are making plays not only here in Vancouver but also in the interior.

PCL was responsible for the construction of the elevated guideway, stations, and systems for the line.

On this episode of The Construction Record podcast, digital media editor Warren Frey speaks with PCL Construction manager of special projects Ryan Kuntz and project manager Rob Mitschke about The Neoma, a 1950s office building in downtown Calgary which the company recently converted into affordable housing. Kuntz and Mitschke detailed the process of updating features of the building to bring it to code while preserving heritage components, as well as the challenge of working in very tight spaces on an accelerated schedule during both COVID and the recent supply chain crisis. They also explained how they were able to use new technology such as laser scanning the interior so designers had an exact model of the building to work with before repurposing it into a series of residences, and focused on PCL's collaboration with Calgary's HomeSpace Society to bring the project to fruition.

This episode of the Diversity at Work podcast is a very special episode. It is our first LIVE podcast recording that we did on March 4th to acknowledge International Women's Day. It was at an event called Celebrating Ambition, for diversity champions in the construction industry in Toronto. This event started because I was frustrated navigating the construction industry by myself. I met Jodi Millen back in January, and Lindsay Reynolds jumped on board soon after. We realized that trying to do something by ourselves was going to be hard and wee would have a bigger impact if we created something together. In this interview we talked about how to network, why leveraging relationships is the only way to move your career forward, and how to look at relationships in a positive way, and why you need to look for abundance instead of competing.
