MID-MULTI verifies the return on investment of BIM and digital automation for mid-scale housing — demonstrating time and cost savings through automated permit processing, published as an open case study to drive industry adoption.

Perkins & Will is developing an adaptable, regulations-ready prototype for 7–8 storey multi-family buildings in modular, prefabricated mass timber — plus a design library and code-compliance tools to accelerate mid-rise housing across B.C.

A free, public, interactive tool that simulates CLT and cold-formed-steel hybrid building systems for 5–12 storey housing — delivering real-time cost estimates, carbon analysis and fabrication-ready member sizing so developers can adopt mass timber with confidence.

This project brings Archistar's 3D generative-AI building design technology to the Malahat Nation's 600+ acre masterplan — automatically generating code-compliant design options optimised for prefabrication, density and community fit.

ETRO is developing standardized, open-source MEP assemblies for prefabricated washroom cassettes optimised for BC Housing's DASH platform — with manufacturing-ready BIM families, a physical prototype, and measured time and cost savings from factory production.

Naikoon's Flying Factory is a mobile, digitally equipped prefabrication facility that travels to the build site. The project analysed automation and advanced technologies to boost factory productivity, cut waste and expand prefab capacity province-wide.

Mddl's FIELD HOUSE6 demonstration uses Kelowna's Fast-Track program to speed approval and construction of middle housing — duplexes to townhomes — combining pre-approved designs with modular manufacturing as a scalable proof of concept.

Wesgroup is introducing digitally manufactured cold-formed steel studs and prefabricated wall panels — using digital precision and local production to streamline wall installation and slash time, waste and labour on site.

Common Green is a B2B software platform for the modular housing industry that streamlines CSA certification, boosts operational efficiency and increases supply-chain transparency — uniting modular manufacturers with data collection, product traceability and building commissioning tools.

Inspector AI is a digital assistant that uses machine learning to make building inspections faster and more consistent — automating reports, predicting likely code deficiencies and guiding inspectors in real time inside the Cloudpermit platform.

Clarity BC is the first comprehensive study of housing permitting across B.C.'s 161 municipalities — mapping processes, technologies and integration readiness to reveal the gaps and best practices that will shape province-wide digital permitting.

A province-wide knowledge mobilisation initiative convening Indigenous housing leaders across four B.C. regions in structured workshops — documenting practical delivery pathways on land readiness, infrastructure, financing, governance and procurement, and publishing open-access knowledge products.

Mass Timber Home Kits pairs densified aspen lumber with parametric design and BIM to create cost-effective, sustainable, repeatable home kits — turning underused local forest resources into Indigenous-led housing across B.C. and beyond.

Naikoon's Flying Factory is a mobile, digitally equipped prefabrication facility that travels to the build site. The project analysed automation and advanced technologies to boost factory productivity, cut waste and expand prefab capacity province-wide.

Faber is mapping the housing sector's workforce ecosystem and building an AI-driven platform that centralises training, career pathways and labour-market intelligence — matching workers to jobs and personalised upskilling in real time.
