​Join a 30-minute open conversation with Jason Urquhart, Manager, Evaluations Specifications at the National Research Council Canada, exploring a critical challenge for sustainable construction innovators: getting new products from development into real projects. Jason also serves as Secretary for the International Construction Information Society, and as a Director with the Alliance of Canadian Building Officials Association and Canadian Lumber Standards Accreditation Bureau.

​You’ve developed a solution that supports sustainable construction. What will building officials and project teams need before they can confidently accept, specify, and use it? How do you demonstrate code compliance when your product challenges conventional construction methods? And what should you be doing now to prepare?

​We’ll unpack the roles of the Canadian Construction Materials Centre (CCMC) and National Master Specification (NMS), giving attendees a clear understanding of the decisions that can shape a product’s path to market in Canada.

​This an interactive dialogue, not a traditional presentation. Bring your questions, ask the expert, connect with peers, and join the conversation with builders, founders, investors, and industry leaders shaping the future of the built environment.
