Join the Network: Strengthening the Canadian construction industry together
Construction powers our communities. It builds the homes we live in, the roads we travel, and the hospitals, schools and infrastructure Canadians rely on daily.

Behind every project are the workers, businesses and local construction associations (LCAs) that turn plans into reality.
LCAs have been standing behind Canadian builders for decades. They support businesses and their teams with tools, connections, guidance and experience. Today, that support matters more than ever to keep Canadian construction strong in the face of change and uncertainty.
A network that has your back in good and bad times
People in the industry depend on each other to adapt and grow. Today’s construction landscape is more complex than ever. Businesses are navigating labour shortages, rising material costs, shifting policies, and the effects of economic changes at every level. Many construction businesses have to do more with less and make decisions faster in a continuously changing environment.
That’s where a strong network comes in.
Having access to reliable information, shared experience and trusted advice helps business owners and teams feel more prepared. Whether it’s understanding regulations, finding referrals or exchanging best practices with someone who’s been there, being part of a connected community makes the work more effective and manageable.
Joining an LCA means becoming a part of a network of more than 18,000 member firms across the country through an integrated system of local, provincial and national associations working together to support the businesses that keep Canada building.

“I decided to start my own venture in construction, leveraging the network provided by my LCA,” says Ontario Constructor Services owner Ryan Kneisz. “The confidence I gained from being part of this network, which recognized my skillset, was instrumental. My skills were honed through experiences and the unique insights gained from my involvement with the LCA—offering access to information beyond books or the internet.”
As part of the membership, businesses can access standardized contracts and CCDC documents, industry best practices, business tools and more. Members can also access tailored training to keep their teams sharp and help them adapt to new regulations and expectations.
Knowledge that helps you plan ahead
Construction is a fast-paced industry. Access to the right information can make a meaningful difference. LCAs keep their members updated on policy changes, regulatory development, the latest safety standards and emerging industry trends. By helping members cut through the noise and focus on what’s relevant, partner associations support better decision-making that aligns with the evolving industry.

Stronger advocacy that benefits your business and the industry
Membership with an LCA ensures members’ voices are heard both locally and nationally alongside the Canadian Construction Association (CCA). Partner associations advocate for policies and programs that support their members’ businesses and the industry, from labour and procurement to infrastructure investment and workforce development.
Why membership matters more than ever
The construction industry is evolving—and so are the challenges that directly impact construction businesses. It is essential to grow the impact and influence of construction businesses to strengthen the industry. Together with LCAs, businesses can adapt to today’s challenges and feel confident to pursue tomorrow’s opportunities while continuing to build a better Canada.
