Applied Research
If you’ve heard about our annual national cost publication,
Yardsticks for Costing
, or if you’re familiar with our two Toronto Real Estate Board publications—
the Rough Guide to Building Costs
and
the Advanced Guide to Building Costs
—then you’re familiar with our Applied Research Group.
If you haven’t heard of any of these publications, we can almost guarantee that our Applied Research Group’s research
has affected you in some way, shape, or form.
They’re a nationally-respected team of cost planning professionals who have been counted on to provide cost models or
unit price analysis for clients all over the country, including:
Toronto Catholic School Board
Toronto Public Library
Statistics Canada
Municipal Property Assessment Corporation
Construction Sector Council
Department of National Defence
Public Works and Government Services Canada
City of Ottawa
City of Calgary
Alberta Infrastructure and Transportation
Our Applied Research Group is responsible for the coordination and preparation of the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation’s Automated Costing System databases.
They’ve also prepared an international residential cost study for Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation, prepared labour models for the Construction Labour Market Information System, and provided a detailed analysis of the Indian and Northern Affairs Canada’s (INAC’s) Cost Reference Manual.
And they’ve even provided Statistics Canada with building model replacements for their published quarterly cost indices for residential and non-residential construction.
In a nutshell, they research and deliver the type of information our clients demand, and they’re tasked with producing ongoing publications for many of these clients.
