They asked for a community centre. We designed a threshold between past and future. Anchored in timber. Framed in glass. Reflected in water. The Gorge Park Pavilion doesn’t just sit in the park, it belongs to it. A modern echo of Japanese gardens, wedding vows, board meetings, and quiet mornings. 🏆 BCRPA Facility Excellence Award 2024 Proud to have collaborated with: @ame_group @knappettprojects @aes_engr @ryzukgeotechnical #GorgeParkPavilion #IredaleArchitecture #DesignThatBelongs #ArchitecturalPoetry #WestCoastModern #CommunityByDesign #Esquimalt

Knappett Projects Inc. celebrates its 40 years in business serving the construction industry. Our crews on 21 job sites from North Island down to Victoria will be celebrating this day simply, with a traditional site lunch pizza! We are looking forward to the next 10 years as we continue to grow and be the best construction company we can be.

It's Construction Month! We love to treat our hardworking folks on-site to lunch! As we celebrate construction month it's important for us to remember that these workers are some of the most hard-working men and women around. They are on their way to work well before most of us get out of bed, they work in extreme weather of all types, it's go-go-go all day long, the level of exertion they expel each day is extraordinary, math skills and preciseness applied, not to mention the problem-solving skills utilized have to vary for each situation, application, and location. They say the satisfaction of each completed building is so well worth it, #builtright indeed! These humans are truly extraordinary!! We celebrate you and every team member working out there to build our communities. We hope the Brentwood College School Academic Centre project team enjoyed their lunch from Taco Revolution Thank you British Columbia Construction Association for initiating this lunch challenge. We challenge Stone Pacific Contracting Ltd to do something special for their crews this month. #builtright, #BCConstructionMonth #LunchboxChallenge #lunchboxchallenge2023

BCCA Leadership Awards were presented to the Leaders in our industry and Knappett's Superintendent Ryan Thran proudly holds his award while standing with owners, Roger Yager and John Knappett. Ryan is a long-time superintendent with our company and has managed most of our North Island projects for the last 25 years. His passion for encouraging workers to become an apprentice is inspiring. For the last 7 years, he believes he has now mentored over 40 apprenticeships. He has been working with trades training program coordinators in SD71 and 72 in the Comox Valley and Campbell River area to host site tours, provide onsite work experience and summer work, or hire students ready to work full-time. We are certain that Ryan and his field team have hosted the most Youth in Training students because of his close work with the school board and Skills Canada facilitators up there. Working with these teams has further ensured his apprentices are offered every available resource to move through their program. Here at Knappett, we can surely say we are proud of the efforts Ryan has made with our apprenticeship program and are proud to have him recognized by other industry members as one who has proved his commitment to making sure our apprentice program is the best in the industry! If you are an apprentice and looking for a company that supports your training, send us a resume- let's get you on-site with us right away! /bc-kicks-off-construction-month-with-a-trove-of-awards/

We are proud of our new Red Seal Carpenters! These carpenters have been working at achieving this certification for many years, honing their skills, studying hard, and "nailing it" every day. Congrats to you all! It is a proud moment for us too when John Knappett presents them with their Journeyman Certification! #skilledtrades #carpenters #apprenticeship #nailedit Kevin Gierc , Morgan Lamont , Nicholas Wilson @James Allen, Conrad Peardon

Not only is it International Womans Day today, but it is also Women in Construction Week! Today we celebrate all the women working in the field, Onsite we have 12 women working for us, * 2 ticketed carpenters- one is a foreman, * 5 apprentices, and * 5 ladies performing various duties including general labour and site safety! We are proud to have almost 7% women in the field, which is more than the overall average of 5%. If you are looking for work come and join us! We think this quote from one of our workers says alot about our inclusion: "From the moment I was hired on I was treated like I belonged here. I was taught more, and given more room to grow than I have in any other company. As a woman in the field the respect I’ve been given here is beyond measure and means the world to me." #wicweek2023 #womeninconstruction #vica #apprenticeship

Not only do we have a skilled construction workforce, but many also have hidden talents. Video credit and our gratitude for compiling these memories go to Dmytro Lysenko who is a recent immigrant from Ukraine and now works with our North Island Crew. This video features his experience attending our Christmas Party, by the looks of it he had a great time!! Thank you, Dmytro!!

At Knappett, we think hard work deserves a reward. Sometimes a BBQ Burger day cooked by the site supers is a great way to end the week. #workplaceculture #yyjconstruction #workerappreciation #burgerfriday

Wishing all of our field staff, leadership teams, subs, and industry partners a Very Merry Holiday Season! Special shout out to Stan and @[17841406005097759:@lleannemckay ] for creating this wonderful gingerbread scene of our worksite for the Comox Valley Affordable Housing Society - CVAHS
