New Study on Canadian Market for Building Products

Published Thursday, February 11, 2016

For the first time since 2013, Home Innovation Research Labs is conducting the Canadian Builder Practices Survey, a study that quantifies home builder purchases of building materials. With the Canadian new home market shifting strongly from single- to multifamily, it's more important than ever to keep up on building products purchases there.

Don't Miss Out!

We only have limited space available in the questionnaire, so contact us early to ensure your product category is included.

This study methodology mirrors Home Innovation's robust and time-honored U.S. Builder Practices Survey methodology and provides a balanced sample including: 1) number of completions in 2015; 2) type of construction (single-family, multifamily); and 3) size of home.
 
The following are some product category possibilities for inclusions in this year's survey. A description of each report is available online; just click on the report title on our website to view a summary of its contents.

Complete your picture of the Canadian Residential Market with our Canadian Consumer Practices Reports available later this year. Report categories generally mirror the Builder Practices Reports (not all categories available for remodeling reports).

Considering the stability of the Canadian building products market, and the slow recovery of the U.S. new homes market, now is the time to consider keeping track of the Canadian market for new building materials.
