New accommodations facility at CFB Esquimalt and plan to build more homes on military bases

[suffolkowner]

Whenever in the past I have been involved with rail or airport projects there was no local inspection authority. The same was true with the one build for DND. There is still usually a project management team and engineer approval. No ones building things without plans. The problem with working for the govt is opening it up to more bidders. Most smaller companies just dont get involved in the process. Less competition = more costs

That pesky supply and demand curve…

Which is one reason I think base/installation local contracting would be the best bet.

Aerodromes and hangars remain specifically under the umbrella of Nav Canada. Local municipalities have zero jurisdiction. I'm making an assumption that rail might fall under the same.

Except of DND ones.
I suspect DND will follow most of those as guidelines except when necessary for security etc issues.

I suspect you are correct - Paging @Humphrey Bogart
