Been to a couple of industry events the last few weeks, and adding the projects my firm is picking up. Next year is going to be nuts in construction. Some trades were saying they are having a tough time recruiting. Based on what I am seeing is we may need to redo the temp foreign worker program for trades.

Nuts based on the number of projects in the pipeline? Hopefully we will be seeing much more multi-unit stuff break ground next year.

Is this for O&G stuff or building of apartments/condos/office buildings?

Yup a lot more than residential. One big one will be NAIT. and Possibly Norquest. Plus

The irony of not having enough tradesmen to build the new NAIT trades complex……

That's probably labour and equipment cost too.

But those mama's are massive and not cheap!

Just remember when we did the Parkade upgrade and did the generator and power vault for that. Was a heft price Somewhere in the order of 20mil. for the entire project.

Wait! What?!

 

[IanO]

Yup.

 

[bodsbods9090]

Yup.

Cryptic as usual.

Are we going to like it @IanO ?

 

[IanO]

Unsure; not involved and have not seen anything as of yet.

But high hopes.
