Canada’s housing crisis demands swift, innovative solutions. Traditional construction can’t keep pace with skyrocketing demand and affordability challenges. Modular construction and prefabrication offer a game-changing approach—cutting build times, lowering costs, and ensuring quality through factory-controlled processes.
Government initiatives are accelerating this momentum. Quebec’s ambitious Prefabricated Housing Initiative, backed by nearly $1 billion in funding, aims to deliver hundreds of modular homes within the next year, addressing critical housing shortages. Atlantic Canada is also adopting off-site construction to speed up delivery, while major infrastructure projects like Hamilton’s Juravinski Hospital redevelopment are leveraging modular techniques to streamline timelines and budgets.
Industry players are stepping up. Assembly Corp’s recent acquisition of a Swedish prefab factory, shipped directly to Ontario with government support, signals growing capacity and confidence in modular solutions. Meanwhile, partnerships like Bonneville Homes and UTILE are expanding modular’s reach into student housing. As Canada faces the urgent need for millions of homes by 2035, this symposium is the must-attend platform to explore innovation, policy, and collaboration driving modular construction forward.
With an estimated 3.6 million new homes needed by 2035, averaging 300,000 units annually modular construction and prefabrication stand out as the most effective and efficient solutions to tackle Canada's housing crisis. The 5th Annual Modular Construction & Prefabrication Symposium by Trueventus will bring together industry leaders, policymakers, and experts to explore strategies, share insights, and drive innovation in scaling modular solutions across the country.
