CALGARY, Alberta, Jan. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. (“DIRTT”, the “Company”, “we”, “our”, “us” or “ours”) (TSX: DRT; OTCQX: DRTTF), a leader in industrialized construction, saw continued momentum heading into year-end, with commercial activity reflecting customers moving from planning to execution. Engagement during the month spanned healthcare, public sector, and workplace environments.

Broader planning indicators improved in late 2025, with the Dodge Momentum Index rising 7.0% in December. Planning timelines also shortened towards year-end, with projects moving through the planning process in approximately 16 months compared to 18 months earlier in the year, supporting improved visibility into near-term project conversion.

DIRTT’s recent activity reflected this shift, highlighted by a major $7 million-plus project with U-Haul, and multiple engagements with notable clients including Google Toronto, Merit Energy, Texas Department of Public Safety, and Wealth Distribution Strategies. DIRTT continues to see customers prioritize flexibility, speed, and execution certainty as planning transitions into actionable project phases.

"Customers are approaching projects with greater clarity as market conditions evolve,” said Benjamin Urban, CEO of DIRTT. “Our focus is helping them translate that clarity into efficient execution and moving projects forward with confidence.”
