Continues Innovative Legacy by Celebrating 30th Anniversary

By Shelly Brimble

A goal without a plan is just a dream. For many busi-ness owners searching for a future in a new building, the process of bringing their vision to reality can be

a daunting task. Calgary-based Spacemakers Construction a daunting task. Calgary-based Spacemakers Construction Services Inc. helps them navigate through the difficult pro-cess of finding or creating a new facility by simplifying the complex design-build and construction management pro-cess to ensure successful results.

Their philosophy is reflected in their mission statement, “To take the complex and make it simple, delivering distinct value for our clients.”

“The company has built a successful business one client at a time, ensuring they create lasting relationships by paying attention to every detail throughout each step in the con-struction process,” says Mike Meyer, business development. “We don’t promise to be perfect, but we do promise to get it right.”

Spacemakers has been getting it right throughout the years by creating and evolving a process to simplify design-build and construction management. As a result, they have become a strong company celebrating its landmark 30th anniversary.

The company began as a problem-solving firm that built a reputation for taking on construction projects that other contractors simply could not, or would not complete. The founder, Les Willems, brought over 20 years of experience founder, Les Willems, brought over 20 years of experience to this innovative company that originally began as Aria Management and later changed to Spacemakers in 1989.

Spacemakers began in a humble two-storey house on 12th Avenue NE where they incubated for 15 years eventually moving to an expansive office space in southeast Calgary where they remain today. Throughout the years, Spacemak-ers grew, adopted visionary goals and expanded into the company it is now under the leadership of Bart Benoit, Debbie Tomaszewski and Mike Meyer.

Spacemakers resolves design challenges that often occur from a clash between technical realities of wish lists versus the reality of what can be done within budgets, existing construction practices and materials. They have done this while delivering projects on time and on budget. Mike adds, “Our expertise and knowledge helps the client save money while building a successful home for their business.”

Mike rounds out the partnership team with exten-sive leadership and business development expertise. Each

Spacemakers partner brought their own strengths that com-plemented each other’s. Throughout the years they have strengthened their skills within the company by being able to overlap their duties executing portions of each other’s to overlap their duties executing portions of each other’s roles as time constraints or circumstances dictated.

The partners agree that their success has been due to the fact that they stuck to their core values throughout the high and low economic cycles in the last three decades. Debbie Tomaszewski, general manager finance and partner, says, “We were flexible and made adjustments to our business in order to survive the ups and downs and to keep our key peo-ple; we knew eventually the economy would turn around.”

Early in the business, an innovative value-added approach emerged to provide a total solution for clients. Spacemakers began bundling land with a construction contract. Avoiding conflict with clients’ needs, the company does not own any land holdings but they have strategic alliances giving them the ability to source land to suit the building needs of the client.

This legacy continues since Spacemakers currently has exclusive access to strategic land holdings and sites in the light industrial market. “If you are having a difficult time finding a site, we can help you find the right site in the right location for the right price,” Mike says.

Spacemakers also ensures each building is optimally situ-ated on the land so that the client has future flexibility and room for expansion. Furthermore, they make sure that the buildings are built with specifications that will help their clients with reselling features in the future.

Building Success One Client at a Time

Spacemakers always takes the time to get to know each and every client. The valuable time they spend, especially in the early planning stages, ensures long-lasting rela-tionships. Mike adds, “Each and every job is both exciting and rewarding as each client becomes part of a lasting relationship.”

Bart Benoit, general manager operations, adds, “We spend the time to really understand why they’re building. We learn what drives them – is it a requirement for opera-tional efficiency, business growth, or are they looking for an investment? We make sure we build a suitable strategy based on the owners’ objectives to satisfy the clients’ requirements both now and in the future.”

Once they identify why the client is building, the Space-makers team can make effective recommendations to satisfy their objectives. Different client objectives result in different solutions, so it is important to understand what motivates them. Is it business growth, operational efficiency, invest-ment or simply a resale? “Every project is different, we don’t sell boxes, we develop solutions,” says Bart.

But the process does not stop there. Spacemakers, along with a team of subtrades and consultants, then analyzes the building and its proposed usage in order to optimize its function. This is why it is said that at Spacemakers, they build a building from the inside out. Getting it right at the beginning stage is why Spacemakers is able to build their

clients’ buildings with just over one per cent by value in project change orders.

Spacemakers takes a sincere interest in the success of the client and their business. “Our results speak for themselves,” adds Debbie.

Strategic FormulaLike a strong chess player, Spacemakers continues to make

moves to challenge themselves while staying innovative and exceeding customers’ expectations.

“Where we stand out is that we understand what the client requires today and what they require in the future,” Debbie says. “We help them grow into future plans with our design-build focus. We design it to suit today’s needs as well as if they need to repurpose the building.”

Spacemakers believes the strength in their relationships is accomplished by having a close-knit project team for each project and ultimately has one person responsible. This is accomplished by providing a single source responsibility through its comprehensive service package that takes the client through the entire life cycle of a project.

When asked what the primary reason is for their success

the team agrees it is the accountability. Bart says, “There isn’t a client who we have built for that doesn’t know they can contact anyone of us at any time to get help or just to discuss a challenge or a change if they need it. We are willing to look at different ways of doing things in order to solve the challenge.”

Bart joined the team in 1997 during the construction boom in Calgary. He brought extensive construction exper-tise to the partnership since he was a carpenter by trade with 12 years of superintendent experience.

Spacemakers ensures quality through effective processes. “By spending the time up front we ensure clients’ needs are met in the design process,” says Bart. “The result is less than one per cent of change orders across all the projects. Spacemakers also stands behind their deliverables by being accountable for the quality of the building – even if the war-ranty has expired.”

Spacemakers also guarantees the projects are kept on budget. Debbie says, “We measure the cost not only at the proposal stage, but at contract, construction completion and after the first three years, you will see Spacemakers delivers the best value hands down.”

A very important aspect of any construction project is having the skills and the ability to navigate the difficult per-

mit process. “When we started we spent about 70 per cent of the time with the customer and 15 per cent with the subtrades and staff and the remaining time was spent on city process,” says Mike. “That has all changed since we now spend about 70 per cent of our time managing permits.”

In order to deliver the projects on time and on budget, Spacemakers has also grown its own in-house team of con-struction professionals who currently have over 90 years of combined expertise with the company.

Spacemakers also has a much larger team of subtrades and consultants who have become a strong part of their network, enabling them to keep pace with construction boom cycles. Mike says, “This extended team is very important to us both now and in the future.” Spacemakers takes pride in their rela-tionships with all subtrade partners and have been chosen by many as the go-to design-build firm when they needed a new facility.

The design-build method of delivery will always remain a core and growing business at Spacemakers. This focus will enable the company to continue to strengthen its relation-ships with developers and broaden its builder-of-choice model.

ProjectsThroughout the years they have refined a complete life

cycle of construction services that demystify the process for business owners. They accomplish this by providing end-to-end construction services including: design, process mapping and operational efficiency planning, operations/equipment floor planning, permits, construction, commissioning and building maintenance services.

“Owners have a business to run and seek our services to deliver on the owners’ best interests,” says Mike.

Alberta Beverage Container Recycling Corporation

Alberta Beverage Container Recycling Corporation (ABCRC), the provincially licensed not-for-profit product stewardship corporation responsible for the collection, recy-cling and bylaw compliance of recycling beverage containers, had outgrown its facility in the Ogden area of Calgary.

ABCRC turned to a team of professionals including Space-makers to help them find a facility that would meet their growing needs. The process helped them identify an existing 100,000 ft2 facility in northeast Calgary that could be reno-vated to meet their requirements.

“Spacemakers provided ABCRC with some of the key com-ponents that allowed our project to be successful – a strong team and effective support in navigating complex permitting

process,” says Guy West, president of ABCRC. “We also ben-efited from Spacemakers’ practical strategies for resolving constructability issues and embedding sustainable design. We’re pleased to be in our new and improved space on time and on budget.”

The facility required numerous improvements to suit ABCRC’s operations. Designs included construction of a freight yard on adjoining lands to accommodate the tractor and trailer activities. Building access was enhanced through additional dock doors, and increasing the size of overhead doors.

Demising the operations areas into separate operational spaces and functions enhanced operations. They were further enhanced through the design and construction of specialized conveyor pits to automate the separating, load-ing and processing of the recycled containers.

The project also included the implementation of sus-tainable initiatives including: rainwater harvesting for operations housekeeping, utilizing certifiable high-recycling content materials, recycling construction waste, new high-efficient operations lighting, and reworking existing and installing new HVAC systems.

Spacemakers helped ABCRC to achieve their vision of creating a new container-recycling facility that has now become the new benchmark for operational efficiency and quality control in the container-recycling sector.

of the most current and innovative strategies really stream-lined our state-of-the-art design.”

The complexity of the building required the navigation of various permitting processes. This included assisting in nego-tiations with the developer and the City of Calgary to adopt the way the building could face on the property. If built under the existing restrictions (facing Deerfoot Trail), there would not have been enough space for a future expansion.

Jenny adds, “The number one issue for Compact Rent-als in building our new facility was dealing with our city bureaucracy. It is well known that our city’s building and planning process is frustrating and cumbersome. Not a friendly place to do business. The expertise Spacemakers provided to navigate this process has been priceless. I can unequivocally say I would not have wanted to do this without ‘the Spacemakers team’.”‘the Spacemakers team’.”

“We had the right people on the job. They were able to create a design and engineering strategy that got the nod from the city,” Mike adds.

The new design-build Compact Rentals development includes:• Architecturally approved building elevations includ-

ing precast concrete, composite panels, thermal panels,

locally manufactured curtain wall and ribbon glazing and special building features

Douglasglen Properties Douglasglen Properties is a multi-tenant development

located in Douglasglen, directly adjoining Quarry Park that will be ready for occupancy in 2014.

“The client has a residential portfolio with the objective of diversifying their portfolio with some light industrial holdings for lease,” Bart says. They contracted Spacemakers through their Realtor to help them optimize the project that will provide eight light industrial building bays with a typi-cal 3,680 ft2 of area on one floor. In addition, multiple bays can be assembled to create larger size areas.

The building is ideally suited to satisfy the business requiring excellent location, multiple high-volume routes in the south-east. The building utilizes sound building materials and design to reduce the cost of utilities, and provides a large rear load-ing area with large overhead doors. The building is located in a light industrial area surrounded with other architecturally appealing businesses. The construction is currently underway and the bays are available for lease starting in spring 2014.

Pretty N PearlsCreating a boutique shop out of a bay in less than four

months was just another exercise in how to apply Space-

makers’ design-build formula to repurpose an existing space.Pretty N Pearls, a boutique women’s clothing store located in

a convenient retail mall in Copperfield, opened in record time with a unique design that reflected the owner’s flair for fashion.

The space was designed with the owner to deliver on the vision of a walk-in closet to rival any women’s wildest dream! The 1,400 ft2 space is inviting, exciting and encourages client curiosity to explore the potential ensembles.

“They took care of the small details that I as a small busi-ness owner was too busy to see, and in the end I see that those details were actually very big things,” says Jennifer Sawka, Pretty N Pearls owner.

Kienna Coffee Kienna Coffee, a specialty coffee selector and processor,

had a challenge they could not resolve. Their rapid growth had resulted in their operations being spread out in a multi-bay facility in southeast Calgary. Their corporate success had them bursting at the seams so they also turned to Space-makers for an innovative solution in a new purpose-built facility to meet their growing needs.

Spacemakers assisted Kienna in securing the right site, in the right location at a competitive price.

This new facility leverages sustainable initiatives to miti-gate the environmental footprint. The design process is exploring a heat-recovery system, the potential of a geo-thermal system and demountable partitions to keep up with the ever and dynamically changing requirements of a grow-ing business.

The design incorporates other high-efficiency systems such as thermal panels for the building exterior, and locally sourced and manufactured window systems to reduce the effect of solar loading and insulate against the cold Calgary winters.

The floor plans have been developed from Kienna’s years of experience in the business and integrates clean, auto-mated systems and equipment with functional human interaction and flexibility.

The new Kienna facility will house a sophisticated coffee process, adding value to the raw coffee bean materials with

proven roasting techniques, specialized grinding, packaging and distribution.

Calgary Indoor Tennis Centre Spacemakers is excited to announce that it has just been

appointed the builder for the Calgary Indoor Tennis Centre located on 90th Avenue SE.

The construction on this exciting new sports facility is expected to proceed this spring. The centre will provide the newest indoor tennis courts in the city with some of the best court surfaces and the newest lighting technologies.

“We are proud to be part of the project team and looking forward to the facility opening,” Mike says. “The team is presently fundraising and seeking sponsors at every level. If any of the Calgary corporate community can assist with a tax-deductible donation, please contact us.”

JANUARY 2014

It is the beginning of January, and for many businesses, it is a time to reflect back on all that was accomplished in the previous year, and a time to re-prioritize objectives

and start fresh with renewed vigour.The Calgary Chamber is excited for what lies ahead this

coming year, and is in the business of serving the needs of its members, and doing everything possible for business in Calgary to be successful.

ConnectThe Calgary Chamber is Calgary’s main connector of peo-

ple and ideas. This year, Calgary Chamber members will have the opportunity to build relationships, and grow their client lists at over 50 breakfast and Business After Hours network-ing events that will be held across the city.

DevelopThe Calgary Chamber will continue to develop program-

ming and learning opportunities that allow members of the Calgary business community to hear and learn from indus-try leaders on trending topics that provide the information needed to build a thriving business climate in this city.

Great CitiesAt the heart of the Calgary Chamber lies a commitment to

making Calgary a more globally competitive city to ensure that both our businesses and communities continue to thrive. With this in mind, the Calgary Chamber has developed the Great Cities event series and policy. Great Cities will pro-file a number of high-level keynote speakers throughout the year that will highlight success stories and best practices from other great cities to generate action plans in the con-text of continuous improvement opportunities for Calgary.

InformFor over 100 years, the Calgary Chamber has been the voice

of the business community at government meetings to ensure that policy-makers are aware of its members’ business issues.

AdvocacyIn 2014 the Calgary Chamber will continue its advocacy

work at all levels of government to create the conditions business needs to grow and succeed.

With the conclusion of the 2013 municipal election, the Calgary Chamber has been and will continue to meet with all of city council to discuss the policy priorities that came out of the Chamber’s Great Calgary 2013 report, and will work with city council to ensure that Calgary remains a prosperous place to live and do business.

The Chamber’s policy and government affairs department will explore the issue of mental health in the workplace, and the role that governments can play in creating more support-ive workplaces from a mental health standpoint.

The Chamber will also be looking into developing advocacy work and a report on market access for Alberta’s unrefined petroleum, which includes opening new markets both within Canada as well as globally.

The Year Ahead

Spacemakers | 30 Years | 12

Future FocusNew Products Opening New Markets

Business is changing and so is Spacemakers’ vision to expand across Western Canada into new markets. Mike says, “The team is looking forward to leading Spacemakers into the future and the next transition of the growth. This will involve opening new markets and offices throughout West-ern Canada.”

Spacemakers recently signed a partnership deal with Rigid Global Buildings to provide prod-ucts and solutions to expand into new markets. These rapid turnaround quality steel buildings will enable Spacemakers to enter new oppor-tunities in: agricultural, aviation, fabrication, religious, recreational, and oil and gas facilities.

“This is a great addition to the construction solutions we already provide our customers,” adds Bart. “The addition of the Rigid products has already opened new doors, helping us get the contract for the upcoming Calgary Indoor Tennis Centre.”

“We also expect expansive growth in oil and gas facili-ties,” adds Mike. Rigid, a leading steel building manufacturer in the U.S., designs, value engineers and manufactures steel building to exact specifications. These buildings are engi-neer certified throughout Canada and the U.S.

Spacemakers has already done some consulting work on oil and gas projects in the Fort McMurray area and expect oil and gas projects in the Fort McMurray area and expect

the addition of the Rigid products to expand their business opportunities.

The steel buildings can be used in any oilfield operations from well-site facilities, SAGD operations, upgraders, pipeline infrastructure, field offices, distribution centres and fabrication facilities. “We have a product to match any oilfield need on budget with a rapid deployment time,” Mike adds.

As the geographical footprint grows so will Spacemakers specialized services and processes to serve their remote and

out-of-town clients with full construction services to reduce client investments in time, travel and costs.

New Services Strengthen Client RelationsSpacemakers recently added maintenance

services to complete the loop as a full-cycle con-struction services company.

“Maintenance was an organic expansion of our current business offerings,” says Bart. “We are intimate with the client and the building requirements. Hence it is easier for Spacemakers to deal with the maintenance of the building as well as ensuring warranty of all products within the proj-ect. The life cycle of the building becomes longer and more efficient as a result of our continued care of the facility.”

Whether it is providing consulting services, design-build or construction management services the team will continue to build Spacemakers’ reputation one client at a time. •to build Spacemakers’ reputation one client at a time. •
