As the premier city of the Halifax Regional Municipality, as well as the whole Atlantic provinces, Halifax, Nova Scotia is one of the fastest-growing cities in Canada. The city itself is 110,000 people but the entire Halifax region has almost 300,000 people or 40% of the province's population. And with the city's expansion there is a steadily-growing new home construction sector as well as a thriving home renovation industry.

The major economic forces driving Halifax are the two large container piers, Irving Shipyard and the large contingent of all three branches of the Canadian Armed Forces. Another large source of revenue is tourism and Halifax welcomes almost 100 cruise ships to its port every year.

With expansion going on in all sectors of Halifax's economy, new home development areas are following suit. New home building and home remodeling is attracting skilled tradespeople from across the country. In addition, the pre-apprenticeship programs at Nova Scotia Community College are always full and this is a sign that there will be many more people involved in the building industry.
