For 13 years, Construction Canada has conducted an annual survey to gather insights from readers about the state of the industry. The survey offers a glimpse into the daily operations of the architecture, engineering, construction, and operation (AECO) professionals who are responsible for designing, constructing, and maintaining various structures such as condominium towers, hospitals, schools, and offices.

Construction Canada is the official publication of Construction Specifications Canada (CSC). An interdisciplinary association, CSC brings together professionals from across the building industry. Its membership includes architects, specifiers, engineers, project managers, product manufacturers’ representatives, contractors, and other experts across the architecture, engineering, and construction spectrum.

While the majority of the survey respondents are not CSC members, the participation of a diverse group of professionals provides a broader perspective on the current state of the industry. The survey covers a range of topics such as income, social media usage, job satisfaction, and future predictions. Hundreds of participants across the country provided insights into the current state of the industry and potential future trends.
