Join this important discussion. The BC Mechanical Trades Defined.

In March, the British Columbia Construction Association (BCCA) published the first iteration of The Guide to BC Trade Definitions, a guidance document intended to create a common scope standard within the ICI sector. MCABC, along with other trades associations,  reviewed and contributed to the publication. The intention is to produce a second version by year end.

To learn more about the trade definitions, the mechanical industry’s current trade definitions within scopes of work and to contribute to the ongoing dialogue, please register for this discussion with Katy Fairley, BCCA Industry Practices Consultant and Scott Torry, AFC Construction and Member of the BC Trade Definitions Committee.
