In 1997, RBC’s The Cost of Doing Nothing put a price on excluding Indigenous people from Canada’s economy. Thirty years later, Indigenous participation in projects is still measured through spend targets, supplier lists, and subcontracting clauses. The result is a capacity trap: Nations cannot build capacity without projects, and can’t win projects without capacity. This session asks what changes when the Nation is the owner and decision-maker rather than a checkbox in an RFP. Drawing on Sacred Waters’ experience as a development corporation of the Katzie, Kwantlen, and Semiahmoo First Nations, the panel examines where value disappears when engagement begins after scope, delivery models, and commercial terms are fixed. It then explores how ownership, joint ventures, workforce pathways, and long-term operating value can and should be structured earlier. Attendees will learn what questions to ask before the next procurement goes out and a clearer view of The Opportunity Cost of starting too late.

Building Types: Residential: Multi-Unit
BC needs tens of thousands of new homes on existing residential land, and the builders best positioned to deliver them aren’t large developers – they are homeowners, small contractors, and local entrepreneurs. Provincial SSMUH legislation has opened the door to duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes on single-family lots across the province, creating a market opportunity measured in the hundreds of thousands of potential units. But turning policy into housing requires a new ecosystem of support for these "citizen developers" who are building one to four units at a time and need accessible financing, streamlined design, and practical guidance to get started. This session brings together a small-scale builder and a financing partner to explore what it takes to activate this segment at scale. Attendees will learn how to identify viable projects, access emerging lending products, and navigate the path from lot to livable units.

Air-source heat pumps are increasingly viewed as a cornerstone of building electrification and decarbonization. However, as outdoor temperatures fall, both heating capacity and efficiency decline, often requiring supplemental heat during the coldest hours of the year. This session reframes the design question. Rather than asking whether a heat pump can meet every hour of a building’s heating demand, it asks how much of the year it can operate efficiently and what the most practical strategy is for the remaining hours. Using the concept of the “other 8,700 hours,” the presentation explores how a small number of extreme-weather hours can drive disproportionate cost and system complexity. Through practical examples, the session compares backup heating options, including gas-fired, hybrid, and electric resistance systems. Particular attention is given to the counterintuitive idea that the least efficient heating technology may sometimes be the most practical backup solution.

What happens when companies that normally compete for the same work have to build side by side? On complex projects like Oakridge Park, multiple general contractors share the same site, schedule pressures, logistics constraints, and client expectations, making collaboration essential. In this candid panel, superintendents will share lessons from Oakridge Park and the new Time Out Market, including wins, friction points, and what they would do differently. Attendees will learn practical approaches to deliveries, service tie-ins, shared logistics, commissioning, and VDC coordination, as well as how to build trust, clarify responsibilities, and resolve interface issues early. Designed for GCs, owners, project managers, superintendents, and VDC/operations leaders, this session offers field-tested practices for better cross-GC coordination and project outcomes.

Utilities and gentle density: resolving municipal policy conflicts
Location: Room 217
- Architecture
- Construction & Trades
- Homebuilding & Renovation
Streams: Economics, Legal, Regulatory & Risk Management
Tracks: Housing Solutions
Building Types: Residential: Multi-Unit
Provincial legislation requires municipalities to permit small-scale multi-unit housing on single-family lots, but local electrical servicing policies were never designed for this level of intensification. Builders pursuing duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes are encountering costly barriers rooted in underground conversion requirements, oversized service connections, and inconsistent utility policies that vary dramatically between municipalities. This session examines the friction between provincial housing mandates and municipal electrical servicing frameworks, and explores how builders, local governments, and utility providers can work toward practical resolution. Attendees will learn how to identify and anticipate common electrical servicing barriers, understand cost-sharing options, and advocate for proportional, right-sized policy at the local level. This session is designed for builders, planners, municipal staff, and housing policy professionals.

What does the lease say? A crash course in commercial leases for property managers
Location: Property Management Learning Lab (Booth 344)
- Property Management & Building Operations
Streams: Building Management & Optimizing Building Performance and Net Asset Value
Tracks: Property Management Solutions
Building Types: Commercial, Mixed-Use
Commercial property managers oversee diverse portfolios of office, retail, industrial, and mixed-use assets, each governed by complex lease agreements. Yet many professionals are expected to administer leases without ever talking about how to interpret or apply them. This practical session is designed to close that gap. Participants will gain a clearer understanding of commercial lease structures, key provisions, and the operational impacts of common lease clauses. Topics include rent calculations, landlord and tenant obligations, security deposits, insurance, assignments and subletting, renewals, holdovers, defaults, remedies, and risk allocation. Using real-world scenarios, the session will explore common disputes before, during, and after a tenancy, with practical approaches to reviewing, tracking, and administering lease across large portfolios. Instead of legal jargons, this session provides practical knowledge that attendees can apply immediately to manage leases confidently.

North America’s first CREE building: from digital model to rapid build
Location: TECHCENTRIC Stage (Booth 1603)
- Architecture
- Construction & Trades
- Engineering
Streams: Technology, Innovation & Smart Buildings
Building Types: Commercial, Institutional, Mixed-Use
As labour shortages, schedule pressures, and carbon reduction targets accelerate adoption of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC), digital delivery and off-site manufacturing are becoming essential to project success. This session examines UBC Gateway, the first building in North America to use the Creative Resource and Energy Efficiency (CREE) timber-hybrid structural system, and the lessons learned from delivering a first-of-its-kind prefabricated building in a high-seismic region.
The six-storey, zero-carbon facility features large-format timber-concrete composite panels spanning 11 metres, the longest CREE panel span achieved globally. Attendees will learn how technology transfer, advanced BIM coordination, and detailed modelling enabled components and connections to be fully coordinated before fabrication. Innovative seismic detailing reduced risk while maintaining constructability. This resulted in faster erection, minimal field changes, and enabled RFIs to be resolved during design rather than construction.
