Navigating New U.S. Tariffs: A Call to Support Homegrown Innovation and Canadian-made building materials
With the latest round of U.S. tariffs impacting the construction industry, Canadian architects, developers, and builders are facing new challenges in material sourcing. These tariffs not only increase costs but also create uncertainty in supply chains. Now, more than ever, it is essential to prioritize Canadian-made building materials to maintain quality, cost efficiency, and sustainability in our projects.
At Prospec Specialties, we take pride in being the ONLY Canadian manufacturer of expansion joint covers, ensuring that architects and developers have access to high-quality, locally produced solutions.
