How do you solve the challenge of building 3.5 million housing units by 2030?
It’s not easy. But that’s exactly the problem facing Canada after the country’s national housing agency, the CMHC, revealed that they need to hit this target by 2030 to restore housing affordability.

We’ve seen it first-hand across 2023 with a number of existing and new clients across Canada particularly in the Greater Ontario area with a strong need for talent across multiple disciplines within the modular construction sector.
Harder? Possibly but perhaps better, faster and stronger.

Many top brands from Tesla and Oracle have opened up new offices in Texas whilst Hewlett Packard has even moved its HQ from Silicon Valley to Houston. Tax policy, regulatory climate, and talent availability all feature as core reasons for the decision to switch to Texas.
