The construction industry is a vital part of Ontario's economy

As an industry, construction employs almost three times as many Ontario workers as the automobile industry - about 400,000 people or about six percent of Ontario's workforce is employed in the construction industry. Ontario's construction sector is, as the Premier said recently, "vital to the province's growth, job creation, competitiveness and continued prosperity." Looking ahead, the 10-year growth rate for construction in the Toronto area is higher than the estimated growth rates of all industries in Toronto. Careers in construction must remain at home.

The construction industry is changing

The nature of construction and building technology is changing in Ontario and across the rest of North America. Broad societal trends are impacting the nature and focus of the industry in such areas as heritage preservation and building restoration, environmental design and energy conservation. Industry innovation is being driven by the environment, energy costs and economics. The market is demanding more environmentally friendly construction materials and methods and governments are enacting regulations and controls to enforce higher standards in the areas of health and safety. In Ontario and elsewhere, rising energy costs are pushing the need for more energy efficient buildings. At the same time, the economics of the industry are being challenged with the goal of controlling the costs of construction. These external changes are having a fundamental impact on how the industry operates and approaches construction processes. Once a very conservative industry, where innovation was measured incrementally over many years, construction is quickly becoming a technology-driven, specialized and sophisticated business that is demanding a highly trained and educated management team and workforce.
