Atilla Bayhondor 2026 Finalist

Director of Construction at Cape Group

Cape Group

Atilla is a battle-tested industry veteran. He’s spent nearly 20 years in Canadian construction leading complex projects. As Head of Construction at Cape Group, he doesn’t just manage projects. He transforms them. When problems arise, he tackles them before they become a crisis. On an $85M 20-storey mixed-use highrise he engaged BC Hydro in early design. By coordinating utility relocation ahead of time, they shaved months off schedule and avoided costly rework, saving millions in potential overruns. But his impact goes beyond the jobsite. He’s overhauled Cape’s construction division, introducing standardized processes, rigorous controls and clear metrics. The result: deliveries are faster, revenue is up, and efficiency has soared. Senior leaders credit this overhaul with enabling Cape to win larger developments without adding overhead. It’s results like this that Atilla is focused on. He bridges the gap between vision and buildability by collaborating closely with designers and engineers, turning creative ideas into actionable plans. It’s an approach that colleagues say has literally saved businesses.
