This recognition reflects our long-standing commitment to caring for our workers and building a strong culture of safety.

2023 Award
Urban Design and Architecture Award 2023
Just Working Construction Inc. is proud to have built the Kirkendall Coach House, an early example of an Accessory Dwelling Unit in Hamilton and a model for sustainable, small‑scale urban intensification.
Designed by architect Emma Cubitt and built to Passive House standards, the 75 m² unit demonstrates that low‑energy, low‑carbon, all‑electric living is both achievable and financially practical.
The project received an Award of Merit – Private Buildings (Residential). The jury praised its high‑quality execution, innovative sustainable design, and detailed costing that proves environmentally responsible construction can also be practical and profitable.
At JWC, we’re honoured to help deliver projects that push sustainable building forward in our communities.

We received the Cambridge Employer Recognition Award for our contribution to strengthening the local economy and making a positive impact in the Waterloo Region community.
This recognition reflects our commitment to creating meaningful employment opportunities, supporting local partnerships, and building a workplace grounded in care, integrity, and community values.
At JWC, we believe that good work builds strong communities — and we’re proud to be part of that growth.
2025 Award
Celebrating Joellah Fletcher: A Pathbreaker in Skilled Trades
In 2025, Just Working Construction Inc. proudly celebrated a milestone achievement as apprentice carpenter Joellah Fletcher received two great honours awards!
