What is your policy around office, work-from-home and hybrid? We encourage our employees to be in the office at least four days per week. Our industry requires in person team collaboration but we also recognize the importance of giving eligible employees the option to work from home at least one day per week to bring a balance to their work/home responsibilities.

How do you promote communication within the company? Our leadership team meets twice a month to discuss top issues and find solutions. We are organized into studios and our studio directors meet monthly with their teams as well as doing monthly 1:1's with every employee.  We understand the importance of constant and consistent communication.

What’s it like hiring in the current climate? The construction market is as competitive as it has ever been for strong talent. BCCI has a unique story to tell and we continue to believe that this positions us as a compelling option for candidates.

What is the key to building a thriving workplace culture? Communication about focus and vision for the upcoming year, employee recognition, caring for the individual, creating social opportunities to have fun together, doing our best to listen and find workable solutions.
