Even brand new multi unit buildings are not without their problems, and residents know. More importantly, the maintenance and utility bills know! Don't buy a sick building. Let us take care of the next few decades of costs 😉

We think embodied carbon is a solvable problem! Net zero is not decades away, it's right now, right here in Winnipeg.

Our wall panels are built with larsen trusses at the core, seen here from the side. We customize them to hold enough insulation to meet energy use targets, building the wall around them. This allows for flexibility and low waste that other walls just can't match.

Literally! Insulation works passively to keep your home cool in summer, and warm in winter. Be prepared for everything Manitoba has to throw at you, contact us about your build today.

It's enough to blow your hair back seeing a building spring up in a matter of hours. Our prefab walls are built for quick installation without ever compromising on performance. This building, once complete, will use only 36 kilowatt hour per square meter annually to heat and cool. Love to see it!
