Digging In
Here are the biggest construction headlines we were chasing down last week: 40 Under 40 Industrial Leaders winners have been revealed! Massive capital is opening up for the industrial sector to increase Canada's resilience. The nation's biggest GCs are running a campaign on mental health. A massive carbon capture project just got underway. CMHC is sounding the alarm on housing starts.

Sometimes construction hurts. This week we had a deep conversation with James Boseley of Pain BC about the hidden reality of chronic pain in the trades, how workers are often taught to ignore injuries and "tough it out," and why that silence can lead to worsening physical and mental health. James shares his own experience with severe, long-ignored injuries, the stigma around pain in industrial work, and the importance of self-advocacy, documentation, and having the right support systems. The conversation also highlights the hope he sees in newer pain education, text-based support, counseling, and other resources that are finally making it easier for tradespeople to get help without shame. Here are some resources if you or someone you know is struggling with thoughts of suicide or self harm: Crisis Centre BC https://www.crisiscentre.bc.ca/get-support/crisis-lines/ Family violence helplines and services https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/health-promotion/stop-family-violence/services.html If you are having immediate thoughts of self harm or suicide, dial 9-8-8.

Digging In
Canadians are told over and over that to conquer some of the nation's biggest challenges, modular construction must be embraced. But what does it take to succeed in the modular construction business? After finding success in the European market, Sapphire Balconies brought its approach to Canada. I spoke with Antonio Manchisi (Vice President of Construction at Sapphire Balconies Canada) and Luke Haughton (President of Sapphire Balconies Canada) to learn more about what works and what doesn't.
Digging In
In this episode of the Digging In Podcast we chat with Bhragan Paramanantham , a civil engineer and creator of Last Week in ConTech newsletter , about the biggest global trends shaping construction technology today. We explore how AI is becoming the backbone of new construction workflows, why pre-construction is a major area of innovation, and where robotics, visual data, and automation are creating real value on job sites. The conversation also looks at regional hotspots like the US, Europe, India, and China, along with the growing impact of defense, infrastructure, and even space construction on the future of the industry. It's a wide-ranging, forward-looking discussion for anyone curious about where contech is headed next.
