For the past seventeen years, the Ontario Construction Secretariat’s (OCS) Contractor Survey has captured the industry’s business outlook for the coming year, while monitoring critical issues affecting the industry. The past three years have presented a number of challenges for Ontario’s construction industry, from temporary business closures, to enhanced health & sanitation standards, to supply chain disruptions. How have contractors fared?

The 2023 Contractor Survey was released as part of the 23rd Annual State of the Industry and Outlook Conference on March 2, 2023. This informative and well-attended event, hosted by the OCS, is where industry experts unravelled economic indicators and gave insight into where the construction industry is headed in 2023.
