CMHC · BUILD CANADA HOMES · ISC

A Prefab Delivery Partner Built for Government Programs.

Canada’s federal housing strategy — Build Canada Homes, the CMHC Affordable Housing Innovation Fund, the Apartment Construction Loan Program, and the Housing Accelerator Fund — all share a common requirement: prefab and modular delivery that is scalable, replicable, and delivered by credible partners. That’s what Prefab Builds Canada is built to do.

SECTION 01
POSITIONING

We understand how government
housing programs actually work.

We work with CMHC project officers, municipal housing departments, non-profit housing operators, and First Nations housing authorities to structure projects that get funded and get built.

That means understanding the funding structures, documentation requirements, and delivery expectations of government housing programs — and engineering our delivery model to satisfy them from day one. Fixed-cost factory pricing fits CMHC underwriting. Replicable floor plans fit Build Canada Homes’ volume mandate. CSA A277 certification satisfies the compliance bar. Pre-application planning de-risks approvals.

SECTION 02 / AUDIENCE
