City Seeking Feedback on Construction
Practices and Project Delivery
The City
of Regina is reviewing its construction practices, project
delivery and procurement processes and is inviting residents,
businesses, contractors and industry partners to share their
thoughts. The review will help identify opportunities to improve
construction planning, coordination and delivery.
The review follows Council’s motion for Continuous Improvement
in Construction Practices (MN26-2), brought forward in March and
will help identify opportunities to improve how construction
projects are planned, coordinated and delivered.
"Construction is essential to maintaining and improving the
infrastructure our community relies on every day," said Mayor
Chad Bachynski. "We know construction can also create challenges
for residents, businesses and commuters. This engagement is an
opportunity to hear directly from those affected and from the
industry professionals delivering the work so we can continue
improving how projects are completed in Regina."
The City
is seeking feedback on topics that include:
-
Construction planning and coordination
-
Traffic impacts and access during construction
-
Communication and public notification practices
-
Procurement and tendering processes
-
Opportunities to improve project efficiency
-
Potential trade-offs between project costs, timelines and
community impacts
-
Alternative project delivery methods and construction
schedules
The
engagement will include surveys for residents, businesses and
construction industry participants as well as meetings with
impacted parties, associations and educational institutions, in
addition to in-person public opportunities.
"We've
made improvements to construction planning and delivery over
time, but continuous improvement requires listening and
learning," said Kurtis Doney, Deputy City Manager, City
Operations. "The feedback gathered through this process will
help identify what is working well, where challenges exist and
what opportunities may be available moving forward."
Residents
can participate by completing the online survey at
Regina.ca/ConstructionFeedback. The survey will remain open
until November 4, 2026.
Feedback
and findings will be presented to City Council in early 2027.
