Details

What is The Construction Life? The Construction Life is a daily routine of waking up at 5am, working out, showering, preparing lunch, sending off the family, driving to the construction site, organizing and preparing for the day's work, building, having fun on the job, wrapping up at the end of the day, returning home, spending time with the family, and preparing for the next day. It's a lifestyle that involves a constant commitment to hard work and a love for what you do, and it's never about settling for "good enough." The Construction Life is about striving for excellence every day.

#666 Where’s the Money Going? Breaking Down Canadian Construction Funding with Ryan Borkowski
<p>In this insightful episode, we sit down with Ryan Borkowski to tackle the pressing issues surrounding Canadian construction funding and its impact on the industry. From start-and-stop projects to housing shortages, we dive deep into the real challenges facing construction and development in Canada. We explore how funding is allocated, uncover the inefficiencies and bureaucratic hurdles that cause delays, and expose the disconnect between government promises and on-the-ground realities. Ryan explains how developments are charged, the complexities of new laws and regulations, and why many housing strategies, including 10-year plans, are destined to fail. </p><p>We also discuss the recently announced "non-tax" on million-dollar homes, analyzing why it’s likely to collapse before it even starts. Finally, we propose practical solutions to streamline processes and reignite the construction industry, ensuring Canada meets its housing and infrastructure goals.

#662 Framing Resilience: Mathew Guluzian’s Journey in the Trades as a framer and a Story of Loss
<p>In this powerful episode, we sit down with Mathew Guluzian of Rise Again Framing Ltd. to hear about his journey into the world of framing and the people who shaped his career. Mathew opens up about the highs and lows of his path in the trades, including a tragic incident that changed his perspective forever. He recalls the day he stood just six feet away from his colleague and a mentor, Mike Groulx, when a fall led to a fatal injury. Mike suffered a fractured skull and passed away one week later—a loss that impacted Mathew deeply and the way he looks at construction today. Through this conversation, Mathew shares how this experience strengthened his commitment to safety, resilience, and honoring the legacy of those who paved the way. Join us as we explore not only the technical aspects of framing but also the emotional and human side of working in the trades.
