Join us on October 15 for the second in our series of fall/winter webinars.

In Prepare for the Months and Years after COVID, you'll learn about how to prepare your business and your people for the months and years ahead.

MCAC and CEC are offering these webinars in conjunction with MCA Inc.—a team of some our most popular instructors—and at no cost to you. The sessions will introduce you to topics that MCA Inc. will cover more in depth during future training sessions this fall.

Procore and five other construction tech-related companies have been working on a post-pandemic research/survey report called How We Build Now Canada, Beyond 2020.

Every single forecast, look ahead and research report conducted for 2020 is no longer relevant. Everything we knew before COVID-19 has been impacted. Our goal is to support Canadian construction professionals with a valuable, data-driven report on how to keep building despite all the uncertainty ahead.

This survey helps us assess the current state of construction while also providing them with critical insights to benchmark their project development against their peers.
