EBS Construction Management

Project Highlight - Canadian Food Inspection Agency
Designer - HOK

The last couple years have taught us to adapt and work through all obstacles that the pandemic presented to all of us. Projects slowed down but yet kept moving forward to the eventuality that we would all return back to a redefined sense of normalcy. The build out and construction of our client’s new space fell right in the middle of two provincial wide shutdowns and added difficulties in obtaining material resources. Despite these road blocks we managed to push through to the end and deliver a beautiful space to the client we can be proud of.

The original building and interior needed some considerable tender, love and care; the existing concrete floors slab needed to be fully grinded and leveled including slab lifting by way of injection. New large windows were added to allow for natural light to come into the building. Even the old loading dock door was removed to install a new floor to ceiling aluminum window. The interior comprised a combination of spaces; including open workstations, offices, conference room with folding partition, food laboratories, washroom/showers, and high density filing area. The Interior palette and design showcased cool blue tones, harmonized with warmer wood textures and grey accents through wall graphics and floor designs. A beautiful design courtesy of HOK.

EBS is pleased to have worked on this project with such an amazing team.

March 8th was originally inspired by the struggles of working class women, forming an annual day to demand equal rights, suffrage and an end to sexual discrimination.

In Canada women currently make up 4-5% of the skilled trades workforce. Although these numbers seem low they are increasing each year. Project sites have been evolving as more companies including our own focus on diversity and inclusivity. At EBS we are proud to employ a number of multi-talented women who each contribute to building the fabric of our team in their own way.

Today we look to celebrate, inspire and connect. Pushing these efforts forward and continuing to raise awareness against bias.

Take action on equality.
