Nominations open for Construction’s Most Influential People 2025

The awards program that celebrates construction thought leaders is back.

SiteNews is proud to announce the annual awards program, Construction’s Most Influential People, is back to honour outstanding individuals who are impacting the construction sector. 

To nominate yourself or one of your peers, take a few minutes to fill out this online form.

The annual program was created to shine a spotlight on Canadians having a massive positive impact on the built environment and the construction process. They are thought leaders, innovators, wizened veterans, young disruptors, politicians, legal masters, inventors, trades advocates and more. 

The criteria and process are simple. Winners will be those in any industry, position or discipline whose efforts are generating a positive impact on the construction sector. SiteNews will be soliciting nominations from the industry and winners will be chosen by a panel of SiteNews staff.

This includes SiteNews co-founders Andrew Hansen and Brett Rutledge, and SiteNews Editor Hixson, who have spent their careers saturated in the construction sector in a wide range of roles. Not sure what it takes to win? Check out who made the list last year. It included:

  • Green building CEOs
  • Association presidents
  • Safety advocates
  • Trades educators
  • Female entrepreneurs
  • Government officials
  • Technology experts
  • Architects
  • Homebuilders
  • Workforce developers

And many more!

“Some competitions limit by age, sector or other criteria,” said Hixson. “Ours is only limited by impact. What are you doing to make the industry better? These are the kinds of people we think should be celebrated and that’s what we are going to continue to do with this year’s program.”
