What happens when major infrastructure investment, workforce shortages and rapidly advancing technology all converge at the same time? That’s increasingly the environment Canada’s construction industry is navigating.
This week’s Round Up explores that intersection, from LNG and nuclear infrastructure to housing, skilled trades, jobsite productivity, safety and agentic AI. Whether you build, design, supply, manage or develop, there are signals throughout this edition about where the industry may be heading next.
Thanks for subscribing.
