Key Highlights
Gordian’s analysis, based on findings from more than two dozen trusted sources, identifies key factors shaping Canada’s public infrastructures.
Current State
The average age of Crown-owned buildings is 49 years, and analysis predicts that within a decade, more than 50% of the Government of Canada’s building floor area may decline to poor condition.
Barriers and Complications
A persistent data deficit, fragmented governance over public facilities and construction industry challenges, including labour shortages and procurement inefficiencies, cause difficulties in planning and executing renewal.
Pathways to Progress
Cross-jurisdictional collaboration, data-driven decision-making, digital transformation and procurement modernization should be top priorities for organizations to address the growing crisis.
