Real Property Projects

A larger image of the National Project Management System (NPMS) model with deliverables and templates that are required throughout the project lifecycle, is available on a separate page.

Real property projects include all real property asset acquisitions or improvements, including entering into a lease, fit-up of accommodation space, construction, renovation and remediation of a built-work (building, bridge, dam, road, etc.) or crown-owned land.

All these projects are to apply the NPMS Directive for Real Property Projects.

Depending on the project size and/or complexity, project teams will choose to use either the NPMS « Full » version or the NPMS « Lite » version.

NPMS « Full » version applies to:

• a project that requires TB approvals
• an asset-based project with a cost over $1 million total value, including GST or HST, and excluding client costs, if applicable
• a space-based project over 3,000 m² rentable (Regions) / 5,000 m² rentable (National Capital Area/Parliamentary Precinct)

Projects that do not meet any of the criteria above are to apply the NPMS « Lite » Procedure.

In the case of projects funded by other government departments (OGD) or agencies, the Real Property OGD procedure shall apply.
