CSC Toronto 's May 5, 2026 ACM, BBQ Dinner Meeting & Presentation

This session will introduce NAAWS 5.0 as more than an update—it represents a significant step forward in how quality, consistency, and performance are defined across the architectural woodwork industry. Attendees will gain insight into why the new edition was developed, what has changed, and how it responds to the increasing complexity of modern projects.

This presentation will explore how NAAWS 5.0 improves clarity and usability, aligns expectations across design, manufacturing, and installation, and supports better communication among project stakeholders. It will also highlight the transition to a digital microsite platform, positioning the standard as a living resource that can evolve with industry needs.

From a practical perspective, the session will focus on what this means for all who regularly use the manual — particularly in terms of strengthening internal quality assurance processes, reducing rework and ambiguity, and supporting more confident project delivery.

Finally, the session will connect the role of standards to broader industry outcomes, including risk reduction, improved consistency, and increased trust in AWMAC members, positioning NAAWS 5.0 not just as a compliance tool, but as a competitive advantage.
