Primeiro alojamento modular temporário de Vancouver
Em resposta a uma necessidade imediata de enfrentar os desafios de acessibilidade de moradia da cidade de Vancouver o mais rápido possível, a Horizon North foi selecionada pela Vancouver Affordable Housing Agency (VAHA) para concluir o primeiro desenvolvimento de moradia modular temporária da cidade. O inovador edifício de três andares com 14.785 pés quadrados (pés quadrados) para moradias transitórias oferece casas provisórias para residentes de baixa renda e renda fixa.
O edifício possui 40 suítes de ocupação individual de 250 pés quadrados com banheiros e cozinhas independentes, controle individual de temperatura e um espaço de convivência privativo. Quatro das suítes foram projetadas para acomodar pessoas com necessidades de acessibilidade e apresentam layouts personalizados e design adaptável de fácil utilização. As características centrais do edifício incluem espaço de comodidade comum interno e externo, enquanto a fachada externa apresenta dois murais feitos por um artista local das Nações Wuikinuxv e Klahoose, que refletem a história da área.

From Model to Machine: Why Modular Scale Is Becoming a Software Problem, not a Material One
For modular manufacturers that have already secured demand and repeatable volume, the next major constraint may no longer be forming capacity itself. Increasingly, it is the continuity of the information feeding that capacity.
Who Will Define Modular Products for AI?
Artificial intelligence is making building configurators easier and less expensive to create. This makes urgent manufacturers’ need portable product definitions, stable identities, and shared interfaces regardless of how others’ software is produced.

For volumetric modular manufacturers, the value of this workflow is not simply the use of robotics. Its real value is continuity.
Helping Build a Common Framework for Modular Construction in Canada
Canada’s modular construction sector continues to gain momentum, but scaling it successfully will depend on shared expectations across design, manufacturing, approvals, and project delivery. CSA Z251 helps provide that common foundation.
Edges, Exits & Equipment: A Modular Builder’s Guide to Rooftop Access
Rooftop access belongs in the factory design. Before the modules ship, the project team should identify each route’s users, confirm applicable requirements, coordinate with the roof system and structure, and assign responsibility.
When Timber Production and Modular Construction Share One System
As demand for multifamily and workforce housing continues to outpace what conventional construction timelines can deliver, models that reduce the number of handoffs between structural fabrication and modular assembly are likely to draw more attention.
Your AI Strategy Is an Enablement Strategy
Tools will change. Teaching employees only the steps in one platform creates a narrow capability. Involving them in problem definition, process mapping, data assessment, controls, and measurement gives the organization a way to improve its systems as technology evolves.
By-Right Permitting: The Missing Lever for Scaling Modular Multifamily
Modular has already proven it can outperform traditional building methods on speed and cost per unit. The next frontier is outside the factory in the front end of the process, where projects either clear a path to construction or get stuck in review.
Remote Inspections and The Future of Factory Oversight
Remote inspection is becoming a practical part of modular construction oversight. Its value is greatest when it is used selectively, governed by clear procedures, and supported by complete traceability.

As volumetric modular projects continue to increase in scale and complexity, the Temporary-to-Permanent FiberTite Roof System represents an example of how traditional trade scopes can be reimagined through Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA) principles.
