Ontario launches wood construction working group
AI Article Summary
The Ontario government has initiated a new working group to implement the Advanced Wood Construction Action Plan. This plan is designed to serve as a blueprint for the use of prefabricated and modular wood-based building materials in the province. The working group aims to utilize Ontario's expertise in advanced wood construction to promote and accelerate wood-based building projects.
What This Means for Canadian Contractors
This project shows how Ontario is investing in sustainable construction methods, particularly in the use of prefabricated and modular wood materials. For Canadian builders, this means potential improvements in building timelines and costs, as wood-based prefabrication can increase efficiency and reduce construction waste. It also suggests possible policy shifts towards favoring sustainable materials in building codes and permits.
