Is the multi-family construction sector overripe for shifting from stick built to modular construction, particularly in the affordable housing sector?
Saskatoon, Sask.-based builder Alex Miller, CEO of Big Block Construction, thinks so, but the “fragmented industry” makes that shift for the industry a difficult one.
Miller’s company, which has been doing multi-family modular projects over the past decade in Saskatchewan, has developed a “kickstart kit” that can help other builders learn from its experiences and move into modular construction.
One of the speakers at the Future of Off-Site Construction, a workshop presented by Alberta Wood WORKS! recently, Miller said in 2020, Big Block constructed Saskatchewan’s first net-zero ready multi-unit residential building, which was a 72-unit modular project called Willowview Heights in Saskatoon.
