"SiteNews has been officially added to my daily ‘check-up on’ regimen."
–Christian Hamm
Congrats to the 2024 winners!
After carefully going through all submissions, the SiteNews team is proud to present our inaugural list of Construction's Most Influential People. Our list includes trailblazing company CEOs, visionary entrepreneurs, progressive advocates, wildly successful content creators, passionate educators, brilliant organizers, sharp legal minds and more. Collectively they have helped shape how builders build and how the public at large thinks about construction. Their impact is incalculable but it touches on millions of Canadians and includes tens of billions of dollars worth of construction work. Thank you for all the work that you do and we look forward to celebrating with the winners and industry leaders at our Most Influential event in Calgary. Want to join us at the event?
