Let's Talk

Of the thirty years that Craig’s spent in technical sales in the construction industry, twenty have been in modular construction. Working at Metric came naturally. “I wanted to work for a company that was innovative and focused on modular construction. I also wanted to bring a different perspective to the business side.”

His ability to combine his technical knowledge with his sales background has proven to be valuable as it lets him to focus on the big picture for clients who need help solving unique challenges. The Metric culture also contributes to everyone’s drive to ensure project success and client satisfaction.

His most memorable project? Manitoba Hydro’s Keeyask Workforce Accommodations Project. “It was really complex and involved a lot of people. More importantly, though, it opened up our eyes to what was possible and allowed us to take on new and unique projects.”

Tom has been with Metric for nearly twenty years. Prior to joining the team, he worked as an architect for large firms in Toronto and Vancouver. He’s committed to giving back and serves with a number of organizations dedicated to housing, health care and the arts.

Some of his biggest projects have also been the most rewarding, like the construction of facilities for the 2010 Winter Olympics and the first modular Passive House project. “It’s about bringing together the right mix of resources that help you achieve these kinds of goals.”

His most memorable project is a small motel development in Kaslo, BC, assembled and made ready for occupancy in a matter of weeks – just in time to accommodate a large group of European tourists. “This showcased the advantage of using a factory-constructed building in a complex project.”
