Build Canada Homes Initiative

The federal government has committed $1 billion to Build Canada Homes (BCH), a new national initiative aimed at accelerating the delivery of affordable and mixed-income housing across Canada. BCH is focused on moving construction-ready projects forward faster, supporting innovative construction strategies, and ensuring long-term affordability through strong financial oversight. More information on the program can be found here.

A.W. Hooker Associates is actively supporting projects funded through Build Canada Homes by providing specialized cost consulting services aligned with BCH requirements. Projects under this program are subject to detailed financial review, strict cost eligibility criteria, and extensive documentation expectations, all of which place a premium on accurate budgeting, cost certainty, and risk management.

We work with developers, non-profit and co-operative housing providers, and public sector partners to help projects meet funding criteria, prepare robust cost plans, and navigate the financial documentation required for approval and delivery. BCH-funded projects typically require comprehensive cost and financial information, as outlined in the program’s required documentation guidance, making experienced cost consulting support essential from early planning through construction monitoring.

As Build Canada Homes investment continues to roll out across the country, we are well positioned to support project teams navigating this funding stream, regardless of your location and building type. If you are planning or advancing a BCH-funded project and need cost consulting expertise in cost planning and loan monitoring, we invite you to connect with us to discuss how we can support your project’s success.
