< Previous Building on solid foundationsDriven by a superb eye for detail and a visionary sense of cre-ativity, the Adi brothers founded Adi Development Group Inc. in 2007. Together with a passion for quality, they shared a penchant for architecture and construction, a solid foundation on which to develop this impressive market-leading firm. As the Adi brothers’ unique passion attracted the attention of the marketplace, so work poured in to the group, and soon it had grown from six employees to more than 200 – and counting. “I think we will probably be 1000 people in the next couple of years,” says Tariq. When it comes to people, the industry professionals that staff Adi Development Group are lauded by the owners for their engagement, commitment, and belief in the company’s vision. “What I love about them all is that we hire them through the lens of [finding future] leaders. We’re literally looking to nurture careers. We [ask] whether they have leadership capabilities [that can be nurtured] today,” says Saud. And, in a company whose owners believe that leaders are not born, but cultivated, the method appears to be very successful. The team’s commitment to excellence is made visible daily. Employees’ development is supported through training, coaching and other tools that allow them to become the best that they can be. “Soon it had grown from six employees to more than 200 – and counting.” StationwestBurlington, ON10 Growing and giving backThe company is highly acclaimed for its excellent work and last year was ranked as Canada’s 10th fastest growing company out of 400, based on 3,250 percent average growth over three years, an achievement by anybody’s standards. In addition, Saud and Tariq received two large honours this year. They were named to Canada’s Top 40 Under 40 list, honouring ‘younger’ business leaders and movers for their great contribu-tion to the country’s economy and people through business innovation and achievement. They also placed number 10 on the Globe and Mail’s list of Canada’s Fastest Growing Companies.This is a team that believes in giving back – and it does so in spades. Every Christmas, the whole team delivers its generous contributions to the local Ronald McDonald House in support of the families who have to spend the holidays there. It is also a benefactor of the Canadian Diabetes Association and several hospitals in and around the Burlington area.

One of these is 3D printing which, although in its early stages, is already in use for buildings. The largest of these, the two-storey Al Warsan, was recently unveiled in Dubai. At just under 7,000 square feet in area, the project is said to have used only 15 labourers and to have generated around 60 percent less building waste than the average project of its size, securing it a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records.“I think there’s a huge opportunity for prefabrication, and 3D printing will play a huge part. Countries like Dubai are saying that they want two percent of all materials in their buildings to be 3D printed – like domes and knobs and hinges, et cetera,” says Saud. He reckons that 3D printed buildings will soon be commonplace. The brothers also see robotics playing a much bigger part in many techniques such as drywall installation. Adi Development Group is primed for evolution and expan-sion across Canada and into the United States, and for its Saud AdiCOOTariq AdiCEO12Content Developed by Wendy Hood-Morris | Designed by Lindsay Baileytransition into an asset management company. And great opportunities in construction and real estate are opening up in its current market. Yet despite its complexity, two simple words still sum up this up-and-coming giant-to-be, and those are ‘building excellence.’ With the Adi brothers’ flair for design, detail and precision in everything the company does, this is one to keep an eye on.
