Canada’s Construction Crisis is Here

While global demand for construction continuing to rise from $14 trillion to $22 trillion by 2040, the construction industry in Canada has faced an unprecedented challenge of productivity declines for the past 40 years. Here are the alarming statistics that demand immediate action:


Job Vacancy Rate in Alberta

Nearly 3x the pre-COVID average of 2.5%.


Businesses Cannot Find Skilled Workers

Alberta construction companies are struggling to hire trades-certified employees.


Declining Productivity

Canadian construction productivity has stagnated for four decades while other industries surged ahead.


Small, Fragmented Businesses

A majority of Alberta construction companies have fewer than 20 workers which limits innovation and technology adoption.

Construction Industry’s Biggest Pain Points

Labor Shortage Crisis


With 6.7% job vacancy rates, an aging workforce looking to retire, and a lack of youth entering the trades, finding skilled workers has never been harder.

Productivity Stagnation


While other industries have transformed through technology, construction productivity has remained relatively flat for the past 40-years. You’re working harder, not smarter.

Digital Infrastructure Gaps


Many firms operate with minimal digital infrastructure and outdated systems, making it risky and expensive to adopt new productivity-enhancing tools.

Late Adoption of Technology


Many firms operate with minimal digital infrastructure and outdated systems, making it risky and expensive to adopt new productivity-enhancing tools.

Scaling Challenges


Small firms lack the ability to invest in automation, AI, and tech-enablement, failing to achieve economies of scale needed to compete globally.

Regulatory Compliance Barriers


Outdated regulations and inconsistent building codes across jurisdictions create inefficiencies and slow innovation adoption.
