Understand CCDC’s new progressive design-build contracts: Attend a seminar near you!

This spring, the Canadian Construction Documents Committee (CCDC) is introducing new progressive design-build contracts, along with updates to its traditional design-build documents. To help industry professionals stay ahead, CCDC, in partnership with some of CCA’s local construction association partners, is hosting a national in-person seminar series to explain the new documents and their practical applications.

These sessions are designed for contractors, consultants, owners, and allied professionals navigating the fast-evolving construction landscape.

Thirty in-person seminars will be held across Canada between April 20 and June 4.
