SOFIAC Raising Capital for Decarbonization Retrofits Across Canada

SOFIAC, a Montreal-based decarbonization specialist, is raising additional capital to expand its retrofit projects across Canada. Initially launched in Quebec, SOFIAC has expanded to Ontario, B.C., and Alberta, and aims for a national reach with its new fund.

What This Means for Canadian Contractors
For Canadian builders, this development suggests increased opportunities for involvement in decarbonization projects nationwide. The requirement for investment-grade credit and minimum revenue thresholds might streamline the selection of capable contractors. Additionally, the focus on energy retrofits could boost demand for specialized labor and materials, potentially affecting timelines and costs in these construction sectors.
