Welcome to this week’s edition of the News Round Up published by Construction Links Network. 

Top news this week includes CaGBC releasing their new report – Canada’s Green Building Engine: Market Impact and Opportunities in a Critical Decade. This report shows the potential of a green recovery that prioritizes green building including creating 1.5 million jobs by 2030. The executive summary as well as the full report are available for download here. 

On Tuesday, Procore will be releasing their much anticipated report: How We Build Now Canada: The State of Construction and Technology Beyond 2020. This report will provide a lens into the current future state of construction and how your peers have adapted to the new way of working.

Also on Thursday November 19, I will be moderating a session at the IoT PropTech Summit. There is still time to secure your seat for free by clicking here. It would be fantastic if you could join us.
