Operate

Your next software project might be mostly funded. Most contractors never claim it.

Canadian governments fund digital adoption in construction through grants, tax credits and interest-free loans. The programs exist; the problem is knowing which ones apply to you. Estimate your potential in 60 seconds.

Based on programs verified June 2026. Federal + provincial.

Funding landscape · 2026CAD
$10–15Kper employee trained via provincial job grants (ON, AB, BC and more)
20–40%back as a tax credit on management software in Quebec (C3i)
$50–150Kfor digital plans & implementation (ESSOR in QC, DMAP/TDP in ON)
0%interest on tech-adoption loans from regional development agencies (ACOA, CED, FedDev…)

Heads up: the federal Canada Digital Adoption Program (CDAP) closed permanently in 2024, and many sites still advertise it. The current path runs through provincial programs, tax credits and regional agencies, and it changes often. That's exactly what this calculator (and our team) keeps track of.

Three questions. One number.

Tell us where you operate, how many people would use new software, and the size of digital project you're considering, Operate or otherwise.

Programs differ a lot by province; this drives most of the estimate.

Job grants pay per trainee: field crews, project managers and admin staff all count.

Software licences, implementation, integration with your ERP, hardware. Rough is fine.
