Construction & Development
Smart. Sustainable. Constructive.
Solutions to help you reach new heights
As developers grapple with changing demographics and customer demands, construction companies work the balancing act of maintaining margins, embracing green building practices, and adopting new technologies. Added to these challenges is the shortage of skilled labour, requiring both sectors to look beyond their regional workforce and explore international recruitment.
BDO’s team of construction advisory services professionals understand these challenges. We leverage our deep experience to help construction and development companies raise capital, assess risk, and navigate government incentive opportunities. With a finger on the pulse of global trends, we go beyond just helping you build. We partner with you to disrupt the industry and build Canada’s future using smart technology and sustainable building practices.
