Business Development Manager

WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT BEING PART OF THE SCOTT BUILDERS TEAM?

The culture, Scott Builders has strong client focused culture that I really resonate with. As a team we’re encouraged to be versatile, empowered to act, and be a part of the solution to our client’s goals.

WHAT INITIALLY DREW YOU TO THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY & WHAT MADE YOU STAY?

After 22 years of practice in architecture and engineering, I moved into construction, this decision was a natural choice for me because of my love for a challenge. After working in integrated design and alongside so many different teams, I found myself thriving on the satisfaction of developing solutions for complex projects.

WHEN YOU’RE NOT HARD AT WORK, WHERE CAN WE FIND YOU?

If I’m not hanging with my family, you should likely look at the concert schedule around the city. I try and take in as much live music as possible.

SOMEONE YOU ADMIRE? (OR YOUR HERO)

I have had the opportunity to work with many great people over my career. Great architects, great engineers, great builders. I love architecture and I love music. Not sure I have one specific person I can name; if I was to name one, I would have to name dozens.

WORDS YOU LIVE BY: (FAVOURITE QUOTE OR LIFE PHILOSOPHY)

Work Hard, Play Hard.

    ROLE

    Business Development Manager

    WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT BEING PART OF THE SCOTT BUILDERS TEAM?

    I love the freedom and flexibility I have in my role. Working with the team at Scott Builders has allowed me to connect with great people and leading the Social Committee and planning events for our Staff and their families has been incredibly rewarding. Throughout my time here, I’ve not only contributed to countless projects but also provided support and camaraderie to our staff. The combination of a supportive work environment and the belief that I can thrive here is what keeps me motivated to show up day after day.

    WHAT INITIALLY DREW YOU TO THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY & WHAT MADE YOU STAY?

    Coming from a family deeply rooted in construction, with my dad, brother, and several other relatives being skilled in various trades, I’ve always had a knack for building and practicality. I take great pride in being able to handle tasks that others would typically hire someone else to do. I get a great sense of accomplishment when I can transform a set of drawings into a tangible structure that exceeds the client’s expectations months down the line. Witnessing their astonishment and satisfaction with the results brings immense gratification and has kept me happy within the construction industry throughout my career. Working at Scott Builders feels like a second home to me, and that’s precisely why I’ve chosen to stay.

    WHEN YOU’RE NOT HARD AT WORK, WHERE CAN WE FIND YOU?

    When I’m not at work you can find me with my family. From working out with my spouse to getting my kids ready for school, I love spending time with my family. Family time for me usually means working on personal projects, assisting with homework, playing catch in the backyard, or laughing at funny videos that will embarrass my children. Truly there is never a dull moment in my house.

    SOMEONE YOU ADMIRE? (OR YOUR HERO)

    My dad has always been my role model, even though he passed away several years ago, his legacy has left a deeply rooted mark on me. He embodied integrity and honor, and no matter how badly I messed up, I knew he would always support me unconditionally. It’s that same unwavering support that I strive to provide to my own kids. I take immense pride in watching my children succeed, and it fills my heart with joy. And last but not least, my spouse, who is a constant source of love and encouragement. Without her, I would be lost.

    WORDS YOU LIVE BY: (FAVOURITE QUOTE OR LIFE PHILOSOPHY)

    “Do better and suck less.” Initially, it started as a joke about dealing with subpar tradespeople, where the minimum expectation was for them to improve even slightly in their invoicing, workmanship, or simply showing up to work. However, it has evolved into a personal mantra, a reminder to constantly seek improvement in every aspect of life, striving to be a little better each day.

        Sustainable Design & Construction

      Scott Builders have accredited LEED professionals who use green tools during pre-construction and value design processes to devise the best balance between environmental and economic goals. In addition, Scott Builders have designed and built LEED accredited facilities; from LEED Certified to LEED Gold.

      Scott Builders have also constructed Alberta’s first Municipal Passive House® facility, the Town Office in Valleyview, AB. The Passive House® concept is based on constructing an ultra insulated and ultra sealed building, which along with a high quality HRV ventilation system (heat recovery ventilation), reduces the building’s energy consumption by approximately 80% as opposed to standard buildings.

      Without exception, the basic principles of sustainability, i.e. high R-values, optimal vapour barriers, high efficiency HVAC units, LED lighting and enhanced ventilation are now part of every Scott project.
