This roadmap is here to help public sector owners deliver construction projects that truly work; for people, for communities, and for the future of BC. It’s not about reinventing the wheel; it’s about leaning into what already works. By aligning with trusted Canadian standards and resources, such as CCDC, CAMF, CCA, and trade agreements, public owners can build with confidence, transparency, and fairness.
Grounded in the BCCA’s core advocacy principles of open, competitive procurement and transparent and fair processes across the full project lifecycle, this resource is a practical tool for building a strong construction culture rooted in trust and accountability.
Success doesn’t happen in isolation. That’s why it’s vital to consider the full construction supply chain, from design consultants and suppliers to trade contractors and builders. These best practices help foster a healthier, more resilient industry by supporting consistent, respectful engagement at every stage.
By applying the guidance and resources in the following sections, public sector owners can reduce risk, strengthen industry confidence, and ensure that every public dollar spent delivers real, lasting value to British Columbians.
