Happy first night of Hanukkah! Wishing all who celebrate a happy, healthy and peaceful holiday. #Hanukkah #HappyHanukkah #happyholidays #holidayseason #festivaloflights

In early 2017, SGC was finishing our refurbishment of Unitron Canada’s 27,000 square foot head office in Kitchener. Apart from transforming the office into a completely spectacular space, SGC implemented accessibility upgrades and created even more functional space for employees. The business remained open during construction, allowing them to continue patient care and to meet their research and development deadlines as the work progressed. Founded in 1964, Unitron is a Cana...dian hearing aid manufacturer with worldwide operations. "Using design thinking and research, we put the user at the center of our innovation processes to make sure we are solving real pain points and designing enjoyable experiences from the first appointment in a clinic to their day-to-day lives." #accessibility #officedesign #officedecor #communitybuilding

Recently, one of our on-site team members came into the office to specifically let us know how impressed he was with the growth and skillset of a younger team member. Not only do we like to hear from clients when they are pleased with our on-site crew, but to see such wonderful feedback coming from a co-worker is really inspiring. A supportive, collaborative work environment is what ensures our projects are so well managed. ... #dreamteam #teamwork #contractors #projectmanagers #constructionconsultants #builders #renovation

Each week, the SGC safety team releases a "Safety Talk" that our Site Superintendents share with their crews during their morning team huddle. This week, the talk was on the crucial importance of using safety guards when operating power tools. SGC employees must ensure that all power tools are used safely and in accordance with manufacturer’s guidelines, and all hazardous moving parts must be guarded. This includes high-speed blades, wheels, reciprocating or moving parts. Gua...rds prevent your fingers, hands, arms and other body parts from making contact with dangerous spinning metal. Power tools operate at high speeds. If a blade, bit or disc shatters while in use, the fragments can travel at over 300 miles per hour. An angle grinder rotates at more than 10,000 rotations per minute. All power tools have the potential to injure the user or others close by. Our talk covered the hazards of power tools, the risks and consequences of these hazards, controls and protective measures, and workers’ responsibilities. #SGCSafety #healthandsafety #contractors #projectmanagers #constructionconsultants #waterlooregion #powertools

Right before the lockdown in March, SGC finished construction on Sweet Lou's Cookies. Had the project been delayed even by one week, Lou (owner) says his business could have been in trouble. Lou is delighted with the finished product: People come in here and go WOW. And he has wonderful things to say about his SGC Project Manager, Allan: Al was incredibly great at adjusting based on our needs. That was very important to us. The Sweet Lou’s Cookies experience is all abou...t creating a moment of delight. They use only high-quality ingredients and are committed to delivering amazing customer service. Their cookies are fresh-baked Wednesday through Sunday, with opening hours 1PM 1AM. We can attest to the deliciousness of these treats! They would make a great holiday gift or staff appreciation surprise. #sweetlouscookies #shoplocal #supportlocal #communitybuilding #KWAwesome #KWeats

During this challenging time, it’s important for local businesses to support each other. Today, we’re giving a shout-out to Fairway Lumber in St. Jacobs the first construction supplier that went above and beyond to support SG Cunningham when we launched our company in 1976. We have been loyal customers ever since. Home Hardware, Building Centre & Furniture Stores #shoplocal #supportlocal

Today, the SGC team remembers all the brave men and women who have fought on behalf of Canada in global conflicts. Lest we forget.

Throwback Thursday ! Reminiscing on last years #showyoursole event held by CMHAWW. Our very own Georgia Cunningham was proud to be an Ambassador. It was an incredible evening in support of the estimated 1 in 5 Canadians who will experience mental illness. Their goal is to raise $1 million by 2022, and support mental health and addictions programs at CMHAWW. Curious as to how you can show your sole & get involved?

We hired SGC to repair our chimney. One of their people, Todd, arrived at our house early, and while he waited for his co-worker to arrive, he went up to the roof to inspect the chimney, and since he had a few minutes, he cleaned out our gutters! Wow! Love the attitude, love the work, love this company! - Brent Lemanski, Home Owner We are so proud of our team for going above-and-beyond for clients. And we absolutely love hearing these stories. ... #dreamteam #teamwork #KWawesome #WaterlooRegion #Kitchener #Waterloo #contractors #projectmanagers #constructionconsultants

At S.G Cunningham, we take great pride in working with so many local businesses in our community. Here is a project highlight of Loloan Lobby Bar. An incredible restaurant located in Uptown Waterloo.

It was a huge hit with the team. ... #uptownwaterloo #renovations #gc #generalcontractor #eathere #restaurant #loloanbar #sgc #contractor
