Wood-framed construction is the standard and preferred method in traditional residential and multi-family construction. When it comes to modular housing wood is advantageous for the following reasons. Sustainability: wooden buildings unlike concrete or steel are made from renewable resources that are especially abundant in North America. We source our wood locally, to support Canadian small businesses. Affordability: wood is a more affordable option than steel, so your budget goes further. Simplicity: wood framing is the standard, it can be easily modified and worked on by traditional carpenters when looking to expand or renovate. Insulation: compared to other materials like glass, concrete, and steel wood has low thermal conductivity and retains heat making for a more energy efficient home with lower operating costs long term. Acoustics: wood is ideal for sound absorption, reducing echoes and noise vibration.
