What is Progressive Construction?
PCA represents companies that take a modern, collaborative approach to building and maintaining Canada’s public and private infrastructure. Our members work closely with CLAC and other unions that represent a company’s entire workforce; not just one trade. We call this the progressive model of construction because it encourages a flexible and multi-skilled workforce that allows our member companies to build projects as innovatively and efficiently as possible.
Action & Advocacy
We’re stepping up our efforts to raise greater awareness about the issues and projects that matter to our members. When it needs to be said, we’re making sure we’re heard.
Member Services
PCA’s comprehensive suite of advisory services helps our member companies turn those challenges into competitive advantage.
Our Vision
The PCA vision for fair and open construction competition is well-suited to help governments and the private sector meet Canada’s fiscal and economic challenges.
