A 20-year veteran who began as a field labourer, James McCormack has delivered more than 2,500 general contracting pursuits, including pre-construction as well as strategic project delivery for projects across the contractual spectrum and into billions of dollars of contract value. He ascended to chief estimator by age 25, helped triple company revenue, and has driven a culture that prioritizes the value the trade community brings to projects. James introduced Power BI to a number of pre-construction processes, uses parametric building analyses and mentors students through the Toronto Construction Association. At Modern Niagara, James’ focus has shifted to use this wide-ranging experience to lead enterprise-wide initiatives that connect data, people and processes to drive operational performance. His work focuses on practical and scalable technology adoption, field innovation and delivering measurable impact.
