Why It Matters:
Getting tolerances right is essential to delivering projects that perform as intended, on time and with fewer surprises.
Join us on May 28 for the upcoming WoodWorks BC Network Event, bringing together industry leaders to explore how projects are initiated, funded, and successfully delivered across Western Canada.
This session features speakers from Build Canada Homes, BC Housing, and leading organizations across the sector including MAKE Projects, Intelligent City, Township of Langley, NorthStar Development, and Graham Construction.
Together, we’ll dive into today’s evolving procurement landscape, funding opportunities, and how to position teams early for project success, particularly as it relates to prefab and wood construction. Attendees will gain practical insights on navigating RFPs, aligning with public and private sector priorities, and strengthening project viability from the outset.
