MacLean Construction Staff Stories


Claude Gallant
Estimator / Project Manager

Claude Gallant enters the room with a pencil in one hand and a coffee and a cookie in the other. Claude has been with MacLean Construction for 29 years and he knows his stuff. His quiet confidence lets you know he likes what he does and that he does it well. Claude agrees MacLean Construction has been successful and continues to grow in an ever more competitive environment due to the people and the work ethic, but he is quick to shed more light on the company’s secrets of success. He says in the construction business these days, estimators estimate and then pass the job off to project managers. He says if he had to estimate all day long and never take part in the project, he would likely have been bored of the job years ago. He says Keith MacLean had a philosophy that if you estimated a job and then had to live the life of the project as it’s project manager, you would become a much better estimator and project manager as a result. And that’s exactly how it happens. His summation of MacLean’s success is simple, “good pricing and good management”.

 

Grant MacPherson
Technical Services Coordinator / Engineer, EIT


Grant, a graduate engineer, is also a new face in MacLean’s team and is another clear sign of a company poised for growth. Many of the spectacular buildings MacLean’s build are lead by local architects such as David Lopes and Bill Chandler, but sometimes  projects require more of a design/build approach and MacLean’s are in the preparatory stages of offering those services to complement their existing approach. Grant worked his way through engineering school as a labourer in home construction and became hooked on the construction industry. Currently, in typical Keith MacLean style, Grant is learning the ropes. He’s estimating and project managing and if he walks by a full garbage can, he, just like everyone in the office, is expected to empty it. Grant is quick to offer that he is an Islander from Long River and that he’s at MacLean's to stay. He comments on the dramatic cedar entry way, the stone work, the mechanical systems and the beautiful new office environment, but like everyone else, he ends talking of what a great spot it is to work and how much knowledge, help and support is there for him.
