The CON/STEEL Alliance has named a finalist in the 2011 CON/STEEL Building of the Year competition. The award recognizes superior construction that also showcases the versatility of using construction. SiteCast was chosen for its work on a building expansion for a large Canadian institution in Ottawa, Canada.

Despite these challenges and the additional steps and coordination that were needed to pull it off, the SiteCast team was able to complete the project on budget and schedule.
"Ensuring the existing structure remained opened for business during the construction, while constructing a new addition to current, and far superior building codes, was a challenge that we faced head on," said Shawn Hickey, SiteCast Construction's president. "Despite these challenges, we completed the project on time and on budget."
