One of the jobs we worked on recently had lots of issues from masonry to plumbing, but electrical was a big one and this is one thing I never mess with. What happened was the contractor they had hired previously had run the electrical wiring first.
Then they installed a steel beam on top of that squishing all the electrical wiring in all 3 locations it was installed. Why is it that a problem? If it heats up, it's going to arc in that spot and it's touching wood right above that, which means it could potentially start a fire. Structure always comes first and then electrical ...

I’ve been preaching for years about the importance of skilled trades and how we need to empower the next generation to see the value in building things right. Skills Canada / Compétences Canada is doing exactly that—through education, competitions, and real opportunities for young Canadians to discover their passion and talent in the trades.

I had the pleasure of a visit from Shaun Thorson, CEO of Skills Canada at my office. I wholeheartedly support the incredible work they’re doing to support and promote skilled trades across the country.

It’s organizations like Skills Canada that are helping to change the conversation of skilled trades in Canada. Fantastic organization for employers to get involved with!

Let’s keep building it right. 👷‍♂️🇨🇦 ... See MoreSee Less

As a contractor who’s been in the industry for over 40 years, I’ve seen firsthand how technology can help us build smarter, faster, and better. But only if it’s done right.

That’s why I invited the team from HP SitePrint to our office — not just for a demo, but also for a podcast to explore what this tech really means for the construction industry.

I watched this little robot go around in my warehouse, controlled by a remote. We laid down some RamBoard so we could see what it was marking down. What I saw really impressed me.

Precision is important. Whether you're laying out a custom home or a commercial build, getting it right from the start can save you massive time, money, and rework.

Labour shortages are real. We need tools that can support skilled trades, not replace them , and I really believe tools like the HP SitePrint will entice more people to join the trades and prolong their careers (my knees are starting to hurt, doing layouts this way means I won't constantly have to bend down.

When a tool helps us build better and avoid costly mistakes, I pay attention.

During the podcast, we had an honest conversation about the challenges on site, how SitePrint is already making a difference, and where construction is headed. HUGE THANKS to Andy from HP SItePrint and Peter from Building Point Canada for joining me!
