Business
As custodian for $7 billion worth of real property holdings, PWGSC relies on numerous external organizations to deliver its services.
By working in partnership with the real property industry, PWGSC benefits from private sector expertise, achieving the best possible value for Canadian taxpayers.
Under an Alternative Forms of Delivery (AFD) model, PWGSC partners with the private sector to deliver real property services, but retains full accountability for standards and performance. Multi-year contracts have come into effect on April 1, 2005 with SNC-Lavalin ProFac Inc. for property
management and project delivery services in most of PWGSC's office buildings across the country.
Each year, we award some 2000 construction contracts worth more than $700 million, and over 500 contracts worth some $75 million for architectural and engineering consulting services.
We work closely with key associations and organizations to maintain strong Canadian and international knowledge in the area of real property. PWGSC has agreements with Canadian associations of architects, professional engineers, interior designers, building managers and appraisers.
And we promote collaborative relationships with our counterparts in provincial
and territorial public works organizations through the sharing of information
and annual meetings.
