OTTAWA – The federal government’s Build Canada Homes (BCH) is looking to “champion” Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) for the country’s housing crisis by bolstering innovative approaches such as modular, factory-built and prefabricated systems that can streamline building processes, reduce costs and accelerate delivery.
As such, the government body has launched a to engage Canadian firms specializing in MMC.
The RFI aims to gather insights from industry leaders on capabilities, business models and delivery approaches, a release reads.
Interested respondents are also invited to register as part of a public directory of MMC firms to help raise awareness regarding the capabilities of the sector.
Responses to the RFI will inform the design of BCH’s upcoming prequalification process and help identify high-potential MMC firms for future projects to deliver housing at scale. Participation in the RFI does not guarantee future work, the government notes.
A wide-range of firms are encouraged to respond, including volumetric modular builders, panelized system manufacturers and design-build firms.
The submission deadline is March 5.
