What This Means for Canadian Contractors
This project shows how major developments can take years from planning approval to construction, reflecting the importance of having long-term strategies in place. For Canadian builders, this means anticipating extended timelines and ensuring public consultations to align projects with community vision and needs. This could potentially affect project funding and labor planning, emphasizing the need for adaptability in executing multi-year developments.
