This report provides a comprehensive analysis of modular construction as a strategic solution to Canada's housing affordability and supply challenges. It begins by framing the national housing crisis not merely as an issue of price but as a systemic failure of traditional construction methods, which are plagued by inefficiencies like sequential workflows, weather dependency, and design fragmentation. Modular housing, defined as the off-site factory fabrication of building modules assembled on a permanent foundation, is presented as a mature, high-quality alternative that directly addresses these flaws through controlled manufacturing, offering reduced timelines, waste, and labor variability. The document is structured around two principal modular design approaches, each targeting distinct market segments. The Single-Core Modular Housing model delivers a complete, ground-oriented starter home through a single, fully finished module designed for incremental horizontal expansion.
