Leveraging these relationships has
resulted in successfully influencing
changes in legislation and the devel-
opment of programs that impact our
members’ bottom line.
An example of this positive im-
pact is the Early Dispute Resolution
Program which has rescued and re-
stored a healthy contractor to owner
OGCA
relationship time and time again; and
is now part of the Ontario Realty Cor-
poration’s contract. Each year, the
OGCA saves its members
tens of thousands of dollars
by interceding in contract
disputes through this pro-
gram.
ON THE HORIZON
The OGCA will continue to focus on our Member priorities including:
Ensuring fairness for general contractors in contract negotiations
Increasing health and safety legislation and the added resources this
requires of general contractors
Advocating for fair infrastructure procurement policies that are more
favorable to all general contractors
Monitoring the current trend toward consolidation and the impacts of
P3 projects
