Construction Comment Magazine
Advertising & "Around Ottawa"
Interested in Advertising in the Construction Comment?

There are many benefits...

The Construction Comment is digitally distributed to key decision makers and purchasers in eastern Ontario's construction industry, including: - 1,300 contractors, subtrades, suppliers - 200 architectural and engineering firms - 125 municipalities in eastern Ontario - 200 corporate or public sector buyers of construction.

By advertising in Construction Comment, your firm benefits from direct exposure to the buyers and builders in Eastern Ontario's $3-billion dollar construction market. Your advertising dollars go directly to support Construction Comment on a cost-recovery basis and your firm benefits from an excellent opportunity to enhance its profile in the community.

If you're not interested in advertising consider featuring your project in the "Around Ottawa" section of the Construction Comment magazine which regularly features projects by members in the centerfold area.

 We are in need of projects for future issues

OCA prefers that the project is IN A STATE OF CONSTRUCTION versus a completed one - preferably showing more than a hole in the ground.
 
If you have a project for the "Around Ottawa" spread, please contact Angela Tristram, events@oca.ca.

It is FREE advertising for members and there is no catch nor pressure to advertise.
