Home builders anxious for details on how Ottawa’s prefab policy will work
Three weeks ago, Prime Minister Mark Carney launched the $13-billion Build Canada Homes program and promised it will showcase “modern methods of construction,” including prefab and mass-timber, to cut costs and completion times. He made the announcement in front of a modular home developed by Caivan Communities, an Ottawa home builder.
Since then, firms in this now heavily hyped corner of the development industry have been scrambling for scarce details on how the program will work and where they will fit in.
