CANB-Moncton Northeast

What CANB-Moncton Northeast does

CANB-Moncton Northeast (legal entity: MNECA – Moncton Northeast Construction Association) is a private, non-profit regional construction trade association founded in 1942 and headquartered at 297 Collishaw Street, Moncton, New Brunswick. It represents nearly 400 member businesses — general contractors, trade and sub-contractors, manufacturers, suppliers, professional consultants, and student/apprentice members — operating primarily in eastern New Brunswick with extended reach across the broader province of New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. The association is also accredited as the sole employers' bargaining agent under the New Brunswick Industrial Relations Act for contractors using unionized labour under UBC Local 1386 and LiUNA Local 900.

The association's core service stack is anchored on three proprietary assets: (1) the Maritime Centre for Construction Learning (MCCL, established 2000), which delivers over 50 Gold Seal-accredited courses in leadership, finance, project management, site management, contracts, technology, and HR via virtual, in-person, and hybrid formats, including e-learning courses distributed through a partnership with BuildForce Canada; (2) CINet 2.0 (Construction Information Network, launched November 2020), a 24/7 online portal aggregating bid opportunities from NBON, Merx, Canada Buys, and private projects, with an integrated electronic plans room; and (3) ConstructJobsNB, a dedicated construction industry job board offering unlimited free postings to members. Supporting services include CCA/CCDC standard contract document sales (with up to 50% member discount), free Commissioner of Oaths services, Gold Seal certification support as a CCA preferred partner, an annual events portfolio (65th Annual Golf Tournament, Construction Excellence Awards, Women in Construction Conference, Spring Thaw), and the charitable Building for the Future fund.

Revenue is generated through five streams: annual membership dues (Full Member $1,395+HST; Satellite $781; Affiliate $724; Alumni $75; Student free), training course fees ($100–$400 per e-learning course via BuildForce), CCA/CCDC document transactions (transaction-based pricing with member discounts), event sponsorships ($500–$1,500+), and ancillary services. The association operates with a lean professional staff of approximately four full-time personnel (Executive Director, Director of Membership & Development, Administrative Associate, Support Specialist) plus a Manager of Learning & Development, with external event management outsourced to Raven Management Solutions. Go-to-market is membership-led and event-driven, with a horizontal segmentation approach across construction industry verticals.
