Giovanni Cautillo, president of the Ontario General Contractors Association, joins the Atlantic Construction Podcast (a Procore-sponsored episode) to argue that GCs across Canada share the same pain points and benefit from collective action. He covers the OGCA’s history and pillars, its tender-review service that pushes back on company-killing contract terms, the supervision/labour shortage and the programs built to fix it, and why small and mid-size contractors should adopt BIM and tech the way larger members already have. The throughline is belonging: an association as a shared voice that raises every contractor, from mom-and-pop to billion-dollar builder.
