ETRO Construction

Celebrating 365 days of zero lost-time incidents, injuries, or property damage at our Maplewood Plaza site! Superintendent Ryley Butler says “this achievement wouldn't have been possible without the outstanding dedication, work ethic, and leadership of our people on site like CSO Larysa Yevsyeyeva, Assistant Superintendent Reza Taghavi, Carpenter Cameron Ringrose, and Labourer Luca Vlastelic.” This team has gone above and beyond to improve site accessibility while maintaining exceptional cleanliness standards. They're the boots on the ground, holding everyone accountable and enforcing ETRO's "clean as you go" policy. Well done team, and here's to continuing this streak! 👏 Client: QuadReal Property Group Architect: RH Architects Inc.

We were thrilled to attend the ribbon-cutting for Timbre & Harmony, two new buildings by Brightside Community Homes! Opening this month in East Vancouver’s Grandview-Woodland, they bring 157 not-for-profit rental homes for seniors aged 55+. It was a privilege and honour to witness the Coast Salish group Tsatsu Stalqayu (Coastal Wolf Pack) blessing ceremony as part of the opening of these buildings. Our team was honoured to work on this project. We acknowledge and recognize that the project falls on the unceded and ancestral territory of the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ and Sḵwx̱wú7mesh speaking peoples, the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, and has been stewarded by them since time immemorial. Timbre & Harmony features 35 accessible units, elevators, and welcoming amenity spaces, replacing two aging buildings to support seniors aging in place. Even better, they are Passive House certified—offering zero carbon emissions, up to 90% energy savings, and strong climate resilience! We’re proud to have provided general contracting services for this impactful project, alongside Colliers Strategy and Consulting and Ryder Architecture.

We’re thrilled to announce that the East Building (Harmony) at our Brightside Homes project has achieved Passive House Certification, marking ETRO’s second success in this rigorous standard of energy efficiency! With an impressive 0.43 Air Changes per Hour, this milestone reflects our commitment to sustainable building practices that minimize energy use while maximizing comfort and durability. Achieving such a low air change rate is a testament to the precision and care that went into every detail of this project. As we continue to set new benchmarks in energy efficiency, we’re excited to be part of a future where buildings are not just constructed but thoughtfully crafted for the well-being of both occupants and the environment. Thank you to everyone involved in helping this project achieve Passive House Certification! ____ Client: Brightside Community Homes Foundation Owner’s Rep: Colliers Project Leaders | Canada Architect/Render: Ryder Architecture #BrightsideHomes #PassiveHouse #PassiveHouseCanada #SustainableConstruction #BuildingTheFuture #ETROConstruction #ETROCrew #WeAreBuilders

Exciting progress at UBC Beaty Biodiversity—the tower crane has officially come down! With the crane coming down almost one full year after it was erected, this milestone represents a major step forward for the project, and it was no easy feat. The tight site area, combined with the need to ensure the safety of students and faculty, made the dismantling process particularly challenging. Our team worked closely with UBC, coordinating with three different buildings to temporarily remove parking areas, garbage bins, and halt deliveries for the day. Access to these buildings was restricted due to the crane's swing radius, adding another layer of complexity. Navigating large trucks in and out of the site was also a challenge, but our team handled it all with precision. We’re incredibly proud of the dedication and teamwork that made this happen. Big thank you to Kansen Crane Service Inc for expertly dismantling! Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to push forward! Next, we'll be sealing the building facade with brickwork, glazing, and cladding, paving the way for interior drywall installation.

With ETRO’s Pet Policy, we proudly support the special bond between pets and their humans, making it possible for them to be part of the workday too. 🐕 Looking for an opportunity that also allows flexibility to work with your furry companion?

Progress Update: It’s all coming together nicely at UBC Recreation Centre North! The expansive glazing walls continue to be installed, and will provide stunning views of the campus flooding the space with natural light. With much of the glazing surrounding the track on level 2, running there will feel like an outdoor experience, with all the exceptional comforts of the new indoor environment. The building's sleek metal cladding panels also continue to go up. Each piece is prefabricated off-site to ensure it fits perfectly into the unique design. Project completion estimated for the end of 2024; stay tuned for more updates!

Congratulations to Shane O’Connor, Daryl McCollum, and Maki Munguia for receiving ETRO’s Whatever It Takes (WIT) Award for Q2, 2024! With all three working on our Brightside Community Homes project, we’re incredibly proud of their unwavering dedication to quality and integrity, exemplified through the success of ETRO's first Passive House project. Despite challenging circumstances and unique site constraints, they have led with excellence, fostering a culture of respect, accountability, and dedication. This award is a testament to the countless hard-earned victories and meticulous work put in by these three. Achieving 0.45 air-changes per hour on the air-tightness test in the West building, beating the Passive House threshold by 25%, showcases their commitment to excellence. Thank you to Shane, Daryl, and Maki for your diligent leadership and for inspiring us all to strive for greatness. Your trust, mentorship, and sponsorship have allowed many at ETRO to learn, grow, and advance. #WITAward #WhateverItTakes #ETROCulture #TeamRecognition #Construction #VancouverConstruction #GeneralContractor #ConstructionManagement #ETROConstruction #ETROTeam #PeopleFirst
