Let’s Build Together. Be Part of What Comes Next.
Local government plays a critical role in shaping what gets built, how quickly projects move forward, and the overall cost of delivering housing, and infrastructure in the communities we call home.
Across the Lower Mainland, builders are ready. The question is how we work together to unlock the full potential of our region.
Predictability in Costs & Procurement
Municipal decisions directly impact project viability.
- A clear commitment from all levels of government to reduce Development Cost Charges (DCCs)
- Ensure fair, competitive procurement processes
- Improve coordination across the supply chain and project partners
The Opportunity
Work with industry and other levels of government to bring greater predictability to costs, reduce financial barriers, and unlock more projects across the region.
Faster, More Consistent Approvals
Time is one of the biggest cost drivers in construction.
- Invest in modern, digital permitting systems
- Establish clear timelines with accountability
- Align processes across municipalities to reduce inconsistency
The Opportunity
Create a faster, more consistent approvals environment that reduces delays, lowers costs, and accelerates the delivery of housing and infrastructure.
Building the Workforce Pipeline
The future of construction depends on the next generation.
- Support pathways into the skilled trades
- Invest in training and apprenticeship opportunities
- Strengthen partnerships between industry and education
- Reintroduce trades awareness and exposure in schools
The Opportunity
Build a strong, sustainable workforce pipeline that ensures we have the people in place to deliver the projects our communities need.
