STACK MODULAR/BIRD CONSTRUCTION
in Canada, the volumetric steel modular
tower offers 14 floors of quality units on a
rapid, repeatable scale. With off-site design
and construction of the units, the modular
approach substantially reduces construction
time, facilitating faster occupancy than
traditional builds and reducing the impact
on the local community during construction,
while ensuring strict quality control,
rigorous safety standards, and significant
energy performance in line with Passive
House standards.
“We are proud to be selected to provide
our forward-leaning accelerated construction
method to communities in need of housing,” said Teri McKibbon, Bird’s president
and CEO. “Modular construction is gaining
considerable momentum in North America and our Bird Stack team has been actively
demonstrating the benefits to build more
efficiently and fast-track delivery of important infrastructure to the market.”
The benefits of modular construction offer
an answer to Canada’s housing crisis and
long-term care capacity challenges, as well as
for the delivery of other vital infrastructure.
