What we’re experiencing now in BC is getting over-heated. We’re seeing the stress in finding the right people. Robertson took it upon themselves to try to modularize and prefab a lot of these assemblies to try to take away that challenge of the labour pool in the field and put it in their shop. There are a lot of benefits to Ellis Don and to the end user or client: we get a better quality product and they’ve helped manage that risk on-site.

It seems today that there is always a desire to come up with something new and something different.  Having a trade like Robertson Walls and Ceiling, they are in tune with that. They bring a lot of experience and knowledge to the table, and they’re of a size that we know we can rely on when manpower is required to step up.

Every project is unique, but the reality is it’s about people, and how people get along and collaborate and facilitate the work that needs to be done.
A good partnership starts with a simple process:
Do they have a good culture and good work ethic?
Do they have a good understanding of health & safety?
They provide us with a quality service that we need.

Through my 27 years of safety consulting, working along side RWC’s ownership, was a pleasure.  One of the many things that stood out was their commitment to safety.  It is truly extraordinary.   The time, resources and energy they give to their safety program and to their workers makes me proud to have worked with them to reach COR certification.
