Since the discovery of Leduc No. 1, in 1947, Alberta has become dependent upon the energy sector. Each time the province experiences an economic bust, there has been robust discussion on how to get Alberta off the unsustainable ‘petro addiction’. While there has been some headway in economic diversity, the province continues to build budgets based on oil price assumptions.
Project Profile: Multi-Purpose Recreational Facility
While maintaining a tight schedule and being sensitive to the overall project budget, Scott Builders worked with Butler Manufacturing and Stantec Engineering to deliver this attractive and functional 78,000 sf multi-purpose Exhibition Hall in 11 months! A feat only possible using a complete engineered steel building solution. This Project ended up one month ahead of overall schedule and on budget!
Fast track your next construction project with an engineered steel building solution!

Project Profile: Retail Store
Butler Builder®, Melewka Structures & Design, thought outside the pre-engineered box, and between their architect and consulting engineer they provided a budget sensitive solution to a Dollarama retail store. Not only did this building deliver high on curb appeal, it also met a tight building schedule and stringent new national energy code requirements.
Project Profile: Municipal Transit Facility
In collaboration with Stantec, Clark Builders supplied and installed this 83,700 sf Behlen building for the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo. The structure included Lafarge pre-cast wall panels and a Metl Span roof and wall panel system – built to endure the most rugged requirements. The structure has the capacity to house 80 buses to serve the community.

AMBA Membership Committee Update: July 2020
State of the Industry: July 2020
In the past decade, Alberta has experienced three deep recessions. With the prolonged oil price slump and persistent unemployment Alberta’s economy was already struggling; COVID-19 has stalled economic recovery further. Many Alberta businesses do not have the cash flow to weather this crisis and government hand-outs may not be enough to provide financial stability.

AMBA 2020 Annual General Meeting Recap
We had an excellent turn out at our AGM held in February at Rural Routes Brewing in Leduc. It was a great opportunity to network with fellow industry participants and get a better understanding on industry requirements that impact metal building design and construction.
