QBS Canada has recently partnered with Dr. Chinowsky and Dr. Kingsley to add Canadian QBS data to the 2020/2021 update of their groundbreaking 2009 QBS research study.
The 2009 study done by a partnership of the America Public Works Association and the American Council of Engineering Companies, clearly quantified the many and substantial advantages to the clients, when price was removed as an initial decision criteria for hiring engineering firms.
The Canadian study funded in part by SAJO, the Ontario Association of Architects, and Beyond Referrals is expected to be completed in the first half of 2021.
