- Private-sector owners
- *The Association of Consulting Engineers of Canada
- *The Canadian Construction Association
- *Construction Specifications Canada

*Committee policy and procedures are directed and approved by the four constituent national organizations.
CCDC guides are products of a consensus-building process aimed at balancing the interests of all parties on the construction project. They reflect the recommended industry practices.
