PreFab buildings are moving on up! Wood construction buildings are being used in an ever widening array of end uses from Ranger Stations to Ski Chalets and even churches.

As the benefits of PreFab become more widely known, end users are considering PreFab for commercial, industrial and recreational applications like never before. By considering the total cost of building ownership, focusing on energy efficiency, speed of construction, and size of environmental footprint, end users are discovering that a factory built structure has higher net performance in all these areas and more.

Moving beyond the standardized designs of yesteryear, factory built structures can now be customized to attract customers or house skilled employees with new features and enhanced capabilities.

Modern HVAC controls, improved interiors with attractive, comfortable yet durable surfaces provide an inviting interior that makes visitors and tenants feel right at home.

The integration of modern, space saving cabinetry and improved media and security systems makes the PreFab experience that much more enjoyable and secure. When looking to retain hard to find skilled trades workers or attract discerning tourist clientele these features can make all the difference and directly impact the bottom line.

New innovations in steel dorm units, with customized interiors built to North American standards, can provide exceptional value for companies looking to house workers cost effectively. Incredibly durable, all steel modules can be stacked into multi-storey dorm structures that use less land and provide a fully sealed environment with maximum safety, security and comfort.

These new CSA approved structures, popular in other parts of the world, are now entering the Western Canadian market but with sizes and features that are more attractive to local industry. Surprisingly cool in the summer, due to superior insulation technology, these units are already attracting interest from industry stakeholders looking for new ways to reduce total cost of ownership yet provide superior features that tenants find attractive. Stay tuned for more posts on how this technology will change the Western Canadian market for worker housing.
