This study was undertaken to identify and classify all building products utilized in wood frame residential construction in Alberta; identify and inventory Alberta manufacturers of these products; quantify Alberta production and usage; and identify potential products with further manufacturing potential in Alberta. It notes changes which have occured since a similar study in 1985. Building products were first identified, using a typical house and a 24-unit apartment building as examples. Manufacturers of the products involved were then sent a questionnaire inquiring about product levels and operational particulars. Other product information was obtained through various government agencies. The supply and demand information was then amalgamated to produce an indication of where product surpluses and shortages exist.
