The powerful combination of construction experience, consulting knowledge, involvement in research, governance and codes development is brought together in a friendly, captivating and simple-to-follow format that appeals to new builders through to the most experienced.
March 2016 marked the first session of CPD at Sea, a way for builders to get many/all their CPD credits they need in a condensed, exciting and organized manner while enjoying a true working vacation.

In June 2017, Building It Right opened up its Centre for Excellence in Construction, offering hands-on courses that include hands-on tools training along with some classroom instruction.
Whether it's live seminars presented across the province, online courses on-demand, innovative hands-on workshops, or learning while cruising to exotic destinations, there's something for everyone. Building It Right strives to educate at the highest possible standards, move the industry forward, and keep learning exciting, practical, innovative, and accessible.
