    Join ULI BC’s Young Leaders Group for an engaging evening conversation with Mike Maierle, Founder and President of ETRO Construction, as he explores what it takes to build successfully in today’s rapidly evolving construction landscape.

    Strong execution alone isn’t enough - scalable success requires the right strategy, tools, and people from the very beginning. In this session, Mike will share how ETRO is redefining project delivery by integrating people, process, and technology from day one.

    Through real-world project examples, we’ll explore how construction workflows are being rethought to deliver smarter, more predictable outcomes. Key themes include:

    • Harnessing Technology for Smarter Design & Delivery – how VDC and digital tools are transforming collaboration and reducing risk.

    • The Power of Prefabrication – driving greater efficiency, quality, and speed on-site.

    • Integrated Tech for Better Execution – aligning teams and keeping projects on track.

    • People, Culture & Purpose – why success starts with a strong team and shared vision.

    This event will take place at the brand-new ETRO Headquarters, a building that tells ETRO’s own story of growth and innovation. Approaching its 10-year anniversary, ETRO took on the challenge of revitalizing a neglected pre-cast building - transforming it into an energy-efficient, future-focused HQ that reflects the company’s evolution and ambition.

    Following the presentation and moderated Q&A, attendees are invited to stay for a hosted Après Social with food, drinks, and networking.
