Paul Baker
Owner - Project Manager
Paul began his lifelong career in the construction business when he started working at a friend’s company, “on the tools.” It quickly became clear that Paul had an uncanny ability for planning and numbers. After completing his training in six months – a task that usually takes 2 years – Paul became a Project Manager. When the company he was working at closed, he shifted over to a major Canadian retailer. There Paul spent several years on the estimating team before he again worked his way up to the facilities management group, which allowed him to manage projects across several provinces.
Paul eventually found his place at CBRE. His work was focused on the Infrastructure Ontario account. He spent 15 years in progressively more senior roles: Senior Project Manager, Project Manager for the Small Works division, back to Senior Project Manager, and finally Team Lead. Paul is known for advanced spreadsheet design and for reorganizing processes to streamline project delivery. When reflecting on his career, Paul states, “I love combining that data-driven approach with my early hands-on experience to deliver projects efficiently and keep teams moving.”
When Paul isn't working, he enjoys spending time with Melinda and volunteering with his church and in his community. He also enjoys taking his dog, Murphy, for walks.
