Build Right Nova Scotia

Build Right Nova Scotia, is a cooperative of contractors and the Building Trades. We’ve joined forces with the goal of promoting the benefits of union-built industrial, commercial, and institutional buildings in Nova Scotia.

The partnership promotes the contributions that many of our highly trained workers and employers make to the community. The 350 employers (along with 3,000 administrative support staff) and 12,000 unionized professional tradespeople will continue to join forces to improve the well being of Nova Scotians.

So, why choose unionized contractors and tradespeople?

Choosing contractors and trade unions that are part of Build Right Nova Scotia means choosing the best people to get the job done correctly. It also means choosing to pay that talent fairly.
