Data-Based Conclusion


Analysis from CMHC, StatCan, and Altus Group confirms that factory-built housing can reduce construction costs by 10–25% per sq. ft and shorten total project timelines by 35–55%. Controlled factory environments eliminate weather delays, reduce injury rates by over 80%, and lower material waste by up to 90% through precision cutting and just-in-time (JIT) production.


In provinces such as Alberta and Ontario, modular construction projects have demonstrated completion times under 7 months compared to 12–18 months for traditional builds, even accounting for permitting and foundation work. These operational efficiencies directly support affordability, enabling quicker occupancy, reduced financing costs, and lower long-term ownership expenses.


Final Finding


Factory-built homes offer a data-proven advantage for addressing Canada’s housing affordability and sustainability challenges. Municipalities that adopt modular development policies can expect lower costs, faster delivery, and safer, greener construction outcomes, making factory-built housing an essential component of the next generation of residential development.
