- Bill 96 and your construction documents: what Quebec’s language law now requires in French on a construction project, and what it does not.
- Official languages on federal projects: when federal owners need both languages, and what that means for the firms that bid.
- NMS divisions and section titles, English and French: 794 section titles of the National Master Specification in both languages, from a team with experience across every NMS section.
- Construction glossary, English and French: construction terms with their approved equivalents and the context they belong to.
