My Multi-functional Construction Focus
My multi-faceted focus has been the ingredient and catalyst to master many approaches to create safe work places and healthy social and physical living environments; allowing me to become a multi-talented industrial, commercial, institutional (ICI) & residential building construction supervisory and managerial task professional, that has developed business and user-friendly capabilities through both formal, structured technological trade schools, trade unions, international construction and technology based associations, colleges and university educational learning, as well as practical field construction and hands-on business experience for more than 35 years.
I am very proficient when it comes to safety, cost control, meeting mandated timelines, while at the same time assuring a high quality of work. These days, the forever changing multinational workforce, changing building code, CSA & MOL national standards, modern day business methodologies present many challenges. As a whole, within the passages of time, daily working and living teach many valuable lessons. I have gained plenty of national and international know-how that applies to the Canadian building sciences as a whole’ incorporating structured and ergonomics approaches to ascertain a desired outcome, every time.
My Decades Long Canadian Journey
In order to earn a sustainable and honorable living as immigrant years ago, coming from Germany to Canada, took a bit of diligence, patience, and good will to become integrated into this new for me culture and willingly adapted to the new work standards and building technology.
My humblebeginningsstarted as an accomplished Journeyman carpenter, joiner and tool-making tradesman from Germany; not having the command of the English language, I felt it was best to serve another and second carpenter and joiner apprenticeship starting off within the lower mainland of British Columbia, building hundreds of wood-framed apartments units, senior housing units, townhouses and more.
I achieved proficiency by completing my apprenticeship as a Carpenter & Joiner Journeyman’, I viewed this milestone as a stepping stone; from where I catapulted myself with diligence to become a Carpenter Foreman, construction business owner which entailed residential and commercial projects for 15 successful years construction supervisor, estimator, sales guy and construction manager, as well as becoming a College and University graduate.
As time went by over the years, I worked at over a thousand or so combined residential, institutional, commercial and industrial projects in Ontario, Quebec, Alberta, Nunavut and British Columbia, Canada. Some of these projects I have shown within my website gallery.
I can tell you with an absolute certainty, that my skill set ranges from the traditional merchant and trade craft guilds from back in Germany to our now highly technologically advanced Canadian building construction processes along with its commercialization methods of interprovincial modular, prefabrication, knock-down and stick-building for wood, metal, concrete, timber frame and mass timber faming methods along with all other conceivable building systems here in Canada. My interest in this is reflected when I wrote my thesis akin to a master degree at the University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.
Note: the confederation College of Applied Arts and Technology has used information contained within my thesis as a training aid to familiarise students with the wood-frame and history of the Canadian wood frame building trades as a whole.
I have learned to look back from time to time and realize, that from the onset, traditional learning processes still apply these days and yield added value in order to affect a desired outcome on many occasions.
Within the following, I have illustrated a birds-eye-view and example of my involvement within the construction industry as a whole. After you have had a look at the following depictions, for additional information, lease look for my construction project gallery page on this website.
