The Competitive Edge – Growing Your Business in the Future of Construction

Construction is undeniably changing. From significant regulatory changes over the past few years, such as the BC Energy Step Code, to industry trends towards greater digitalization and industrialization. Many challenges – like an aging workforce – and opportunities – like increased urban density and infrastructure development – lay on the horizon.

Recognizing the unique intersection of policy, trends, and the potential for leadership, the Vancouver Regional Construction Association (VRCA) Vancouver Economic Commission (VEC), and the Zero Emissions Building Exchange (ZEBx) are partnering on a series of webinars for leaders in the construction industry. For more details on this six-part series click here.

You are invited to attend the fourth session of the ‘Competitive Edge’ series. This session will dig into another massive area of work in the province: retrofitting and alterations of existing buildings. The Government of Canada, BC Government, and local governments across BC are all turning their attention to existing buildings to retrofit them for energy and decarbonization, as well as seismic needs and accessibility. Billions of dollars are already on the table and major regulatory changes are moving forward in 2022, including a provincial alterations code likely by 2024. Are you ready?

 Key points of discussion will include: 

  • Overview of Vancouver and BC’s forthcoming retrofit regulations
  • Experience and insight from builders and owners in other jurisdictions which already have alterations codes
  • Introduce emerging work around BC’s future alterations code

Moderator:

  • Roberto Pecora, Director of Programs, Zero Emissions Building Exchange

Speakers:

  • Micah Lang, Green Building Planner, City of Vancouver
  • John Loop, Special Projects Manager, Scott Construction Group
  • Erik Blair, Senior Planner, Metro Vancouver 

Please note that registrants of this session will also receive access to the recordings of the first three sessions.
