On November 12, 2025, the Construction and Design Alliance of Ontario (CDAO) released its first Guide to Design and Construction Procurement Best Practices, a landmark resource developed by leaders from Ontario’s construction, design, residential, and municipal engineering sectors. The Guide provides practical recommendations for public owners to strengthen how infrastructure projects are planned, procured, and delivered.

The Guide to Design and Construction Procurement Best Practices offers a clear roadmap to modernize Ontario’s approach to infrastructure delivery and foster stronger collaboration between industry and government.
