Ontario Construction News steps up as media supporter of One Ontario initiative
TORONTO, Ontario, March 2nd, 2021
AECO Innovation Lab is very pleased to welcome Ontario Construction News (OCN) as an official media supporter for the One Ontario initiative to streamline the development application approval process.
OCN believes One Ontario’s transformative initiatives will truly make the industry much stronger and resilient for the years and decades ahead.
Ontario Construction News (OCN), Ontario’s first digital daily construction trade newspaper, has offered media support to the One Ontario initiative. They have stepped up because they believe that simplifying and integrating common standards and systems to permit more rapid and reliable information exchanges in the built environment is good for everyone in the industry.
In their experience publishing digitally since 2019, OCN has seen how the province’s construction industry can save thousands of dollars on mandatory notice advertising, while receiving news, information and project opportunities much more rapidly and at no cost to many readers.
They envision that if digital processes are applied to the building permit/approval process – and this can be integrated into BIM and other life-cycle modelling resources – that the savings, reliability, and enhanced building quality and safety will be many times greater than the results that they have achieved within the digital news publishing realm. OCN believes One Ontario’s transformative initiatives will truly make the industry much stronger and resilient for the years and decades ahead.
