How Much Does It Actually Cost To Build In Canada Right Now?
Also on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
A complete breakdown of the Altus Group 2026 Canadian Cost Guide: $573 billion in active projects across 6,652 sites, with the real-world context investors and developers need. With presale prices down 13% from peak and a record 7,243 condo units cancelled in 2025, the feasibility math is under serious pressure. The episode also covers the $343 billion public infrastructure pipeline competing for the same labour and materials, a construction workforce that needs 85,000 additional workers by 2032, and tariff volatility that the cost guide explicitly doesn't account for. City-by-city comparisons across Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Montreal, Halifax, and more.
