New Challenges and Growth Ahead: CCA Releases Fall 2025 Construction Outlook
The Canadian Construction Association (CCA) has released its Fall 2025 Construction Quarterly Economic Insights report, showing that while Canada’s overall economy contracted in Q2, the construction sector grew by 0.24%, demonstrating resilience amidst economic headwinds. According to CCA President Rodrigue Gilbert, growth is being driven by the federal government’s focus on large-scale infrastructure and nation-building projects. However, rising material costs, persistent labour shortages, and growing trade uncertainty are creating significant challenges for construction firms.
A key concern highlighted in the report is the federal government’s new “Buy Canadian” procurement rules, set to take effect in November 2025.

The findings highlight a strong consensus for parallel megaproject development among respondents across all industries and companies irrespective of size or location, and emphasize the need for government leadership, industry collaboration, and sustainable investment in energy, transportation, and digital networks.
