478,182 Impressions in 90 Days: How I Managed My LinkedIn Content Strategy Like a Project
A LinkedIn content strategy that generates 478,182 impressions in 90 days is not the product of luck, perfect timing or one post that happened to go viral. In my case, it came from something I have practiced for more than 20 years on construction sites and real estate projects: I managed it like a project…

Alberta Construction Adjudication: 50 Cases, a Staggering Gap
Alberta construction adjudication — the province’s statutory fast track for payment disputes — was used 50 times between April 2025 and March 2026. The United Kingdom, running a near-identical model, recorded 2,264 referrals in its last reported year. That gap opened in a year when Alberta was the only province in Canada where business insolvencies..

Alberta Construction Labour Shortage: 48,800 Workers Needed by 2035
Alberta’s construction market is sending two signals that look contradictory. Housing starts are down 5% year-over-year. Non-residential activity is forecast to climb through 2035. Both are true — and the Alberta construction labour shortage is what connects them. The forecast from BuildForce Canada is blunt: the province needs to add 48,800 construction workers by 2035, while 43,700..

Alberta Housing Starts Fell 21% in 2026. Here’s Why That’s Not the Whole Story
The Alberta housing starts 2026 data tells two opposite stories at once. Starts fell 21% in the first half of the year — the sharpest drop of any province in Canada.

Alberta Construction Labour Shortage: Who Will Build the Pipeline?
When Meta confirmed its $13 billion data centre near Edmonton in July 2026, the headlines focused on investment. Few asked who is going to build it. That one project needs more than 3,000 construction workers at peak.

Alberta Construction Is Rotating: Where Demand Is Moving in 2026
If you only track Alberta’s residential slowdown, you are watching the wrong market. Housing starts in the province are falling from their 2025 record, but construction demand has not disappeared. It is moving. Capital, crews and civil capacity are shifting from housing toward power, industrial and institutional work: hospitals and schools, energy infrastructure, data centres..

Construction Rework Costs: Why Coordination, Not Labour, Is the Real Bottleneck
On a $50 million project, a conservative rework rate of 5% means $2.5 million spent doing work twice. That is why I do not think labour is the only bottleneck in construction.

Construction Feasibility Checklist: Are Your Numbers Built for Today’s Alberta Market?
The question is not whether Alberta is growing. It is whether your project’s numbers were built for the market that exists now, not the one from 18 months ago.
