MCA Canada is pleased to announce three new online training programs in August and September.

• The Project Improvement Program is a webinar and coaching program designed to help contractors and their production teams take charge of projects and determine the most profitable way to proceed.
• In Project Scheduling Basics, you will learn tools to understand the concepts of building more realistic project schedules.
• Microsoft Project Essentials will provide participants with the hands-on skills to plan and manage project activities using Microsoft Project.

Check out our Event Calendar for more information about these sessions and any other education training sessions we have planned.

To better understand the current state and impact of design documents in Canada’s design and construction industry, the Ryerson Institute for Infrastructure Innovation (RIII) was commissioned to undertake a study on “The Impact of Pre-Project Investment and Quality of Documents on Project Delivery Efficiencies.”

As a part of the study, this nationwide online survey aims to collect data and opinions from construction professionals on questions relating to the quality of design documents. Trade contractors from across Canada can provide valuable input to this study by participating in an online survey. The survey results will be confidential, and no identifiers of any participant will be published.

Please participate in the survey. Visit https://lnkd.in/gQShAEJ
