Les premiers logements modulaires temporaires de Vancouver
En réponse à un besoin immédiat de relever le plus rapidement possible les défis de la ville de Vancouver en matière d'accessibilité au logement, Horizon North a été choisi par la Vancouver Affordable Housing Agency (VAHA) pour réaliser le tout premier projet de construction de logements modulaires temporaires de la ville. Ce bâtiment innovant de trois étages, d'une superficie de 14 785 pieds carrés, offre des logements provisoires aux résidents à revenu faible ou fixe.
Le bâtiment comprend 40 suites individuelles de 250 pieds carrés avec salles de bains et cuisines indépendantes, climatisation individuelle et espace de vie privé. Quatre des suites ont été conçues pour accueillir des personnes ayant des besoins en matière d'accessibilité et présentent des aménagements personnalisés et une conception adaptative conviviale. Le bâtiment central comprend des espaces communs intérieurs et extérieurs, tandis que la façade extérieure est ornée de deux peintures murales réalisées par un artiste local des nations Wuikinuxv et Klahoose, qui reflètent l'histoire de la région.

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.

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.
