Light House expands Circular Construction Accelerator with 17 new BC companies
AI Article Summary
Light House has expanded its Circular Construction Accelerator (CCA) by including 17 new companies from British Columbia. The aim is to advance circular innovations in building materials and construction methods, emphasizing low-carbon and bio-based materials, as well as modular and reusable building approaches. The cohort intends to support Canada's shift towards low-carbon construction, which aligns with federal sustainability goals. The initiative, supported by a $1 million investment from PacifiCan, provides advisory and strategic support for early-stage and scaling companies.
What This Means for Canadian Contractors
This project shows how innovation in circular construction can significantly impact the sustainability of building practices in Canada. For Canadian builders, this means access to new materials and methodologies that could streamline construction processes and reduce waste. It could also imply adjustments in permitting, supply chain management, and meeting new sustainable construction standards, potentially affecting costs and timelines.
