Remembering our
colleague, mentor and friend
Lois Metcalfe,
CIQS Executive Director
IQS mourns the loss of
one of its founding fathers,
Gordon D. Pattison,
PQS(F) on June 28, 2011.
I had the privilege of meeting
Gordon when I joined the Institute in
1978. My training for the position at
the time consisted of one week with
the former Executive Director. Not
a lot of time to learn all the ins and
outs of the Institute and the position.
I was fortunate, however, to receive
assistance from a small group of
members, but Gordon was certainly
my primary mentor.
Gordon was not only a founding
father of the CIQS but he also served
as Executive Secretary for the first 10
years from the Institutes inception
in 1959. He knew all the answers.
He called regularly to see if I needed
help with anything. I also felt very
comfortable to call him if I had a
question. He was approachable,
knowledgeable and always had the
best interests of the Institute at
heart. It was in those early days that
Gordon became not only a mentor but
a good friend.
Gordon was dedicated and had an
impeccable record of attendance at
our AGMs. He helped organize many
of these meetings and I remember
how he made the 25th anniversary

Note to readers
Unless otherwise stated, this release presents seasonally adjusted data, which
facilitates comparisons by removing the effects of seasonal variations. The
Building Permits Survey covers 2,400 municipalities representing 95% of the
population. It provides an early indication of building activity. The communities
representing the other 5% of the population are very small, and their levels of
building activity have little impact on the total. The value of planned construction activities shown in this release excludes engineering projects (for example,
waterworks, sewers or culverts) and land. For the purpose of this release, the
census metropolitan area of OttawaGatineau (Ontario/Quebec) is divided into
two areas: Gatineau part and Ottawa part.
Residential sector: Intentions
up for multi-family permits
Intentions for multi-family dwellings
increased 23.1% to $1.6 billion, following a 31.0% decrease in April. Gains
were posted in six provinces, led by
Ontario and Quebec. In contrast, British Columbia recorded the largest decrease in May.
The value of building permits for single-family dwellings decreased 4.9% to
$2.1 billion, following two consecutive
monthly gains. In May, seven provinces
reported declines, led by Ontario and
Alberta. The three provinces posting
increases were Quebec, Newfoundland
and Labrador and Manitoba.
Municipalities across Canada approved 17,022 new dwellings, up 10.8%
from April. The gain was the result of
a 24.9% increase in multi-family dwellings to 10,393 units. The number of
single-family dwellings declined 5.8%
to 6,629 units.
Highest gains in Quebec,
Ontario and Alberta
The total value of building permits increased in nine provinces in May, led by
Quebec; up 45.8% to a record high $1.7
billion, following a decline in April. The
increase was attributable largely to
higher intentions for commercial buildings and multi-family dwellings.
Ontario and Alberta also recorded
significant gains. Ontarios advance

educational accomplishments
t has been relatively quiet on the educational
front over the past year with most of our efforts
channeled towards maintaining the system we
currently have in place rather than pursuing
new initiatives. This was due to the recently announced ReBranding/Marketing Plan as many of the new education initiatives would be part of or dependent on this plan. Here are
some of the activities that took place over the past year:
1. The Career Information Booklet and the condensed Student version were printed and distributed to all Affiliates.
These documents are being used in our seminars nationwide and are currently being translated into French by

surveying
profession in Canada
The demographics and politics of Canada very much influence the construction industry and the QS profession
as a growing part of the industry. The
Country is 10 million km in area,
6,000 km wide from the Pacific Ocean
to the Atlantic Ocean and 4,000 km
from the USA border at the southern
end to the Arctic Ocean at the north.
We have five and a half time zones
and climatic zones ranging from arctic
to desert. The population is approximately 31 million mostly living along
the border with the USA and with the
vast majority resident in the central
provinces of Ontario and Quebec.
The major industry nationwide
seems to be government. As a federal
system, we have a central government
and ten provincial and three territorial governments. Major cities become
the next level and they generally
cause the creation of regional districts
which administer transportation and
major utilities and every small town
has a mayor and council. Other major
administrations are school districts,
health regions and of course countless
crown corporations. All these authorities are potential employers of inhouse QS staff and clients for private
practice QSs.
We are an exporting nation with the
USA being our major trading partner
and we theirs with the resulting influences on economics, systems and
manufactured goods.
The main industries driving the
economy from east to west are quite
diverse and are changing. Newfoundland, in the east, had an economy
based on fishing and federal government transfer payments. This has
rapidly changed to offshore oil and
gas as well as significant mining.
Nova Scotia has a mixed economy
with tourism probably now the major
industry since fishing has died out,
however the federal government
provides a large part of economic support. New Brunswick is the home of
the telemarketing industry. Quebec is
a major manufacturing province including a fairly large lumber industry.
Ontario is the largest province in all
aspects except size with manufacturing, finance and government being
the major economic drivers. The
prairie provinces still rely mainly on
agriculture plus potash mining in
Saskatchewan. Alberta is still a major
agriculture producer but the oil and

complete and also leads to the inevitable mistake that could result in the
low bid. Current discussion within the
industry suggests that this method
of bidding is not likely to change any
time soon.
What then does the quantity surveyor do in Canada? The profession
got its start from a group of ex patriot QSs from Britain who at the
time were working as estimators for
construction companies in Toronto,
Ontario. This group formed the basis
of the Canadian Institute of Quantity
Surveyors (CIQS) in 1959.
The Institute is now 2,000 strong
and is an association of provincial associations with six provincial bodies
forming the national council. Our influence as a profession varies greatly
across the country with Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario probably
enjoying the most recognition from
governments and the construction
industry.
We do have many members serving
on boards of construction associations
and similar related organizations as
well as lecturers at colleges and universities. The Institute has its own 25
subject examination syllabus which is
operated by member volunteers but,
increasingly, the education system is
being supplemented by various university and college programmes that
offer courses as part of their BSc. degrees that will meet the CIQS requirements.
The CIQS is the producer of a
number of recognized publications
including The Method of Measurement
of Building Works, Elemental Cost
Analysis, Schedule of Recommended
Services and Charges, our quarterly
magazine Construction Economist,
Canadian Building Law and Construction Budgeting. All of these
publications have been authored and
updated by volunteer members. Quantity Surveyors are employed in the
most part by general contractors, sub
trades, government departments, developers and private practice QS firms

Annual General
We are looking
forward to seeing
you at the 2012
AGM on The Rock.
Meeting
CIQS is pleased to announce that the 2012 CIQS AGM will be held in St Johns, Newfoundland
hosted by the Newfoundland and Labrador Association of Quantity Surveyors. Details are currently being finalized and will be confirmed shortly. Tentatively, the date is June 8-10, 2012.
The AGM and technical seminars are being planned and will take place during the time noted
above. The itinerary will include the AGM, technical seminars, golf tournament, the presidents
dinner and farewell breakfast.
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of one of the CIQS founding fathers, Gordon Pattison on June 28, 2011. Gordon was born in London,
England in 1928. He was educated in London at the Clacton County High
School and Regent Polytechnic. In 1955, he and his wife Joyce immigrated to
Canada and settled into Toronto where he first found work at Pigott Construction Company. Gordon, after a few years, decided to go into private practice
where he continued in the field of Cost Consulting/Quantity Surveying until his
retirement. Although never fully retiring, he was either semi-working or semiretiring depending on who you talked to. Gordon fully retired in 2007.
Gordon leaves behind his wife of 56 years Joyce. He was father to
son Guy Pattison and his wife Leanne Gormaly, daughter Kathleen
(Kay) Pattison and her friend Robert Coyle, daughter Julie Holland
and brother to Harry and Sheila Pattison.
Gordon was a founding father of the Canadian Institute of Quantity Surveyors and one of the 13 bakers dozen who originally formed the organization
back in 1959 where he served for decades in various lead, support and mentoring roles. Gordon was presented with one of the first prestigious CIQS Awards
of Merit and Fellowship. In 2008, CIQS Council bestowed upon Gordon
the title of Honorary CIQS President for his 50-plus years of
service, leadership, guidance and support. Gordon was
also elected as the first President of the Ontario Institute
of Quantity Surveyors in 1974.
The publisher of the Construction Economist conducted an
interview with Gordon in 2005 which we feel is appropriate
to reprint at this time.

of quantity surveying that is of utmost
importance when understanding
the implications of design decisions
in order to ensure good value is
obtained for the forecasted US $336

over the period of five years. Project
monitoring will ensure efficiency and
effectiveness.

CPD Corner
Mentoring
the greatest CPD points
ecently, a senior, long standing member of our fine
Institute approached me with grave concern that
he was short on CPD points and would not likely
meet the minimum requirements of our CPD program. He indicated that he was nearing retirement and was
not interested in signing up for courses. And why would he
want to, when he was counting down the months till he put
his pencil down for good. He regretfully said that he was prepared to let his membership lapse to forego any formal training that would only be relevant for such a short period.
I certainly understood his situation. I even thought if I
were in his position, the last thing I would want is to sit in a
classroom staring at my watch thinking about the non-billable hours adding up. Not knowing what to say, I thought I
would change the subject and asked if the firm had a replacement for him. He said he had been training the new person
for a few months and that is when the proverbial light bulb
clicked on. Whether he knew it or not, he was mentoring the
next generation of professional quantity surveyor. He was
passing along his knowledge base and collecting CPD points
all the while.
I asked him how many young QSs had he trained over his
career and he paused then and chuckled, a few. There really is not a magical book that can teach you everything about
quantity surveying. Sure theory comes from a book but we
were all taught by at least one person who was in the trenches. For me, I had many great teachers of this fine art and
they were all truly fine craftsman of construction economics.
