Modular construction key to building Helen Keller Centre for the deaf-blind
AI Article Summary
Brantford, Ontario-based ANC is demonstrating the efficiency of modular construction by completing a six-storey, 56-unit modular apartment and training facility at the Canadian Helen Keller Centre for the deaf-blind in Etobicoke. This project exemplifies how this construction method can significantly speed up the building process compared to traditional techniques. The focus on prefabricated modules showcases a modern approach to constructing large structures more efficiently.
What This Means for Canadian Contractors
This project shows how modular construction can offer Canadian builders an efficient alternative to traditional building methods, potentially reducing timelines and costs. For Canadian contractors, this means a more streamlined permitting process and a shift towards greater reliance on prefabrication in the construction supply chain. The demonstrated efficiency may attract more funding opportunities and improve workforce management as the demand for specialized labor may shift towards modular assembly expertise.
