Episode 2: The Interest Rate Squeeze – Financing Challenges in Construction in Uncertain Times
High interest rates are squeezing construction financing, but relief might be on the horizon. As of September 2025, the Bank of Canada’s policy rate holds steady at 2.75%, following gradual cuts earlier in the year (wowa.ca, bankofcanada.ca).

Construction, once a locally grounded industry, now stands exposed to the winds of global change.

These are the background conditions that shape the cost of concrete, the availability of skilled labour, […]
Building in Uncertain Times: Why Construction Must Think Beyond Blueprints
In a world increasingly defined by instability, the construction industry cannot afford to operate as if it exists in a vacuum. Wars and armed conflicts (Russia-Ukraine, Israel-Hamas, China-Taiwan, Pakistan-India, etc.), volatile trade relations, aggressive tariff policies, political unrest, financial tightening, unpredictable elections, and mass migration — these aren’t just headlines.
