Our Initiatives
Best Practices
We offer free-of-charge Best Practices and information in the areas of safety, construction performance, workforce development and contracting, to help Alberta’s construction industry become safer, more efficient and more productive.
Collaborative Contracting
Successful Collaborative Contracting puts special consideration on the people, their processes and how they interact. It is dynamic, collaborative and responsive and puts new consideration to things such as: sharing of risk, the approach to communication, issue resolution and the enforcement of promises.
