Hi, my name is Glen Ekman, and I am a journeyman carpenter at the Customs House project in Victoria, BC. I have been in Victoria for a few years now, but I am originally from the lower mainland where I lived mostly in Surrey and Langley. I started in construction in 1970 and have really enjoyed the sense of accomplishment I get from building, working on, and finishing projects. What I really enjoy about working for Banyan is that they listen to their employees which makes it ...easy to get the job done and problems solved. . . #banyanfamilytree #workerwednesday #workerspotlight #humansofbanyan #wearebanyan @viconstruction @carpentersbc @thisisbcca #Wednesday #banyangroup #banyanstructural #banyanconstruction #constructionmanagement #construction #subcontractor #yyj #yyjconstruction #constructionworker #constructionlife #vancouverislandconstruction #masonry #banyan #generalcontractor #shotcrete #hotshot #victoria See more

Hi, I am Josh Pelletier, and I am a journeyman carpenter and do layout at the Cortile Verde project in Sidney, BC.

Hi there! My name is Rich D'Appolonia. I am a Superintendent, currently working on the Customs House project. I grew up in the Kootenays and have lived in Victoria for 16 years. I have been in the Construction industry for about 25 years, learning all aspects of construction along the way. Things I like about construction: there is always something to learn, there is a fast-paced environment, and working as a team to create a structure that is going to stand the test of times.... I take great pride in my work and love the feeling of accomplishing a project that I can look back at and say I was part of a team that built that. What is there not to like about working for Banyan? I have had the fortunate experience of being Banyans first employee and have seen firsthand the growth and the standard we are setting in the construction industry. Never have I worked for a company that looks at their employees the way Banyan does. You really feel like you are part of a family and a working team. Banyan is really the best group of people I have ever worked with, which makes the days enjoyable. . . . #banyanfamilytree #workerwednesday #workerspotlight #humansofbanyan #wearebanyan @viconstruction @carpentersbc @thisisbcca #Wednesday #banyangroup #banyanstructural #banyanconstruction #constructionmanagement #construction #subcontractor #yyj #yyjconstruction #constructionworker #constructionlife #vancouverislandconstruction #masonry #banyan #generalcontractor #shotcrete #hotshot #victoria See more

My name is Steve MacInnis and I’m a rigger with Banyan Group. I grew up in Nova Scotia and have lived in Victoria for the past four years. I started in the construction industry in 2013, and I started working as a rigger in 2016.... My favourite part about construction, and rigging in particular, is being on the front lines of concrete production, from building formwork to pouring concrete. I enjoy working alongside the trades to meet a competitive job schedule. What I like most about working at Banyan is the team-focused environment and the willingness of employees, from the top down, to teach and learn from one another. #wearebanyan #workerwednesday #banyangroup #banyanstructural #banyanconstruction #wednesday #workerspotlight #victoria #yyjconstruction #vancouverislandconstruction #construction #constructionmanagement #concrete #formwork

My name is Damon Olsson. I'm the masonry superintendent at Banyan. I grew up in Duncan, BC, and I've been living and working in Victoria since 2009. I started my construction journey in 1995 at BCIT. I then had an opportunity to get into masonry approximately a year later.... What I love about the construction industry, and masonry specifically, is building something that you can be proud of. I also enjoy my day-to-day interaction with other tradespeople and team members who are all working toward completing a project together. Banyan has provided me an opportunity to grow a branch of the company and pursue my aspirations. #wearebanyan #banyangroup #masonry #constructionmanagement #construction #victoria #vancouverisland #vancouverislandconstruction #workerspotlight

My name is Emmanuel Boutin, and I'm a journeyman carpenter. I was raised in the city of Lavaltrie, Quebec. I have lived in BC since 2000. I recently moved to Victoria in June of this year. I started my journey in construction 22 years ago. My favorite thing about this industry is that it challenges my problem solving skills and pushes my creative thinking to new levels, all while learning about architecture, engineering, and business. Construction is my passion. ... I'm proud to be a part of Banyan because of the great people that make up the company: they welcomed me like I was family to them.

My name is Robert Wyatt, and I'm an assistant superintendent with Banyan. I grew up in Victoria, British Columbia, after being adopted from Guatemala in 1994. I started in the construction industry in Vancouver in 2014.... My favourite thing about the construction industry is the sense of camaraderie that is formed within a team all working toward a collective goal, through the wet, the cold, the heat, and the long days. Nothing rivals the sense of achievement that I feel when reaching goals with a dedicated team. My favourite thing about Banyan is knowing that from ownership to our newest employees, we are always striving to achieve more and to raise the bar for construction in BC. #wearebanyan #banyangroup #workerwednesday #workerspotlight #constructionmanagement #generalcontractor #construction #yyjconstruction #yyjrealestate #vancouverislandconstruction #wednesday

Kevin Tafts - Senior Structural Superintendent I'm originally from Stratford, Ontario, and I've been living on the Island for 3 years now. I've been in formwork since 2006.

Banyan's mast climbers and hoist systems are up and running! The mast climbers will be used over a traditional scaffolding to make it easier to handle and install the new stone cladding. The hoist systems will allow workers to lift materials to the platform without having to lower the platform.

#workerwednesday Hi! My name is Garry Jacobson, and I'm the senior superintendent on our Customs House Project. I grew up in Surrey, BC, and I have lived in Victoria on and off for ten years. I started working in the construction industry in 1972, as a part of the curb and gutter crew at Jack Cewe. ... My favourite thing about construction is working with concrete: the larger the pour and the bigger the bars, the better. There are endless opportunities in the field. And the people you meet are top notch. I enjoy working for Banyan because of the ability to mentor young minds, and the opportunity to work with people who are receptive to mentoring. This is the best crew I have worked with in my 48-year career. #banyangroup #banyanfamilytree #wearebanyan #constructionmanagement #construction #concrete #rebar #victoriacustomshouse #yyj #vancouverislandconstruction #wednesday #workerspotlight @thisisbcca @carpentersbc @viconstruction
