Title:

Phase 2: Establish a Canadian Building Materials, Manufacturers and Suppliers Database

Agreement Number:

Agreement Value:

$92,400.00

Agreement Date:

Feb 10, 2026 - Mar 31, 2026

Description:

Phase 2 of the project will expand the existing prototype directory of Canadian building product manufacturers, suppliers, assemblers, and distributors to cover all regions of Canada. Building on the successful Atlantic Canada prototype, this phase will involve identifying, validating, and organizing supplier data nationwide to create a comprehensive, user-friendly directory.

Organization:

Department of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities

Expected Results:

The expanded directory will be aligned with the Government of Canada’s Buy Canadian priority by improving access to reliable information on Canadian-made products and services. It is intended to help industry stakeholders, governments, and project proponents more easily identify Canadian suppliers and materials for construction projects, thereby addressing a key information gap in the construction supply chain.
