We’ve made it to the final stops on our road trip! 🛣️
For 40 years IWCD has been building across Vancouver Island, and now we’re heading up-Island, and across the water to the mainland!

Here are some of the northern and mainland dealership projects we’ve been proud to be a part of:

Thank you to each of these dealerships for trusting IWCD with your vision. 💚

From Victoria to Squamish, it’s been a long and rewarding drive, and we’re not slowing down. Thank you to every client, partner, and crew member who has been along for the ride over the last 40 years. Here’s to the next 40! 🚗💙

Fall is one of our busiest seasons for concrete here at IWCD, and that’s for good reason! 🍂

The cooler, steady temperatures on the west coast keep concrete from drying too fast or cracking. A slower, more even cure gives us a better finished product on every pour.

Our Nanaimo Nissan project is in the home stretch now.
Who remembers the other big milestones we've captured on site?
Stay tuned, the big reveal is coming soon! 💙

We recently celebrated the grand opening of Bailey International SureGrip Controls at 400 North Industrial, IWCD’s first building at UVic’s Vancouver Island Technology Park! 💚

Days like this give us a chance to stop and reflect on what it took to get here.
A project like this runs on trust. Our client trusted us with their vision, our trade partners brought their skill and showed up for each other, and our IWCD team carried it through from day one to opening day.

We’re proud of what we can accomplish when we work together, and grateful for the relationships behind every project we build.

Congratulations to the Bailey team on your new home, and thank you to UVic Properties for the partnership. 💙

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at IWCD! 🦃 💙

This year we have a lot to be thankful for.
It starts with our IWCD team, and the families at home who support them every day. The early starts and long days on site don't happen without you behind them.

To our sub-trades, clients and partners, thank you for trusting us and building alongside us. We couldn't ask for a better crew to work with.

This year we're also grateful to have celebrated 40 years of building trust on Vancouver Island. We're so thankful for every project and every relationship that got us here, and we're looking forward to all the years still to come. 💚

IWCD is proud to celebrate the grand opening of Anchor! 💙

It's a six-storey, 108,200 sqft wood-frame rental building bringing 135 one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes plus two live/work commercial spaces to the Esquimalt neighbourhood.

A huge thank you to Denciti for trusting us to bring this project to life and for being such a great partner from that first shovel to today!
We're proud of what we've built together, and even prouder to see this project ready to welcome its first residents.

October is Careers in Construction Month, a month about bringing new people into the trades and giving the ones already here some well-earned credit.

That one hits close to home for us. None of our projects happen without good people, and good people stay where they actually enjoy coming to work.

At IWCD, that looks like tilt-up days where the whole crew comes together to raise up those enormous concrete walls. Appreciation BBQs. Family fun days where the kids get to see who mom or dad shares their lunch with. A pickleball tournament that got more competitive than anyone will admit.

We work hard, and we also make time for family and life outside the job. Our crew in has each other's backs, on site and off.

Thank you to our team for making IWCD a place people want to be.

Thinking about a career in construction? Come build with us 💙

Today we honour the children who never came home, and the Survivors, families and communities still carrying that loss. 🧡

We acknowledge with respect that our Nanaimo office is on the traditional territory of the Snuneymuxw First Nation, and our Victoria office is on the traditional territories of the Lək̓ʷəŋən Peoples, the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations.

IWCD is proud to have completed seven projects in partnership with First Nations across BC, including the ʔumʔiiqsu Mothers & Child Care Centre and Citaapi Mahtii Housing.
Two more got underway this year. On Nicol St. in Nanaimo, we're building 35 supportive homes designed with Snuneymuxw First Nation to create culturally safe spaces. In Courtenay, work on Braidwood Supportive Housing & Shelter begun with a ground blessing led by Elders, Matriarchs and representatives of the K'ómoks, Pentlatch, Sathloot and Sasitla First Nations.
We're grateful to every community that has trusted us to build alongside them. 💙

A few ways you can take part today:
🔸 Wear orange, ideally from Indigenous artists or organizations that support Survivors
🔸 In Victoria, join the Songhees Nation's 5th annual South Island Powwow at Royal Athletic Park on Sept. 30, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
🔸 In Nanaimo, head to Deverill Square Park on Sept. 30. The event starts at 9:30 a.m. with a traditional blessing by Snuneymuxw Elder Lolly Good and an artwork unveiling by Snuneymuxw artist Noel Brown. Free community activities run until 2 p.m.
🔸 Reflect and learn by reading the TRC's 94 Calls to Action or visiting an Indigenous cultural centre
🔸 Support Indigenous-owned businesses, and read Indigenous authors

Every Child Matters. 🧡

If you or someone you know needs support, the Indian Residential School Crisis Line is open 24/7 at 1-866-925-4419.
