Every format uses the same factory-built platform, the same quality standards and the same turnkey delivery model. The only thing that changes is the project size.
Four possible configurations, one integrated delivery team. Factory-built, energy-efficient, move-in ready.
Our 4 unit models form the foundation of every configuration — consistent quality, consistent specs, consistent results.
Six metrics that matter to project economics (based on a 12-unit building).
 8ModuleCSA A277 | Conventional GC | |
|---|---|---|
| Total delivery timeFrom signed contract to key handover | 60 days | 6-7 months |
| Cost predictabilityFixed vs. variable contract structure | Fixed price*, locked at signing | Subject to extras |
| On-site durationActive work on your land | 4-day assembly | 6-7 months |
| Weather delaysExposure of critical-path work | Minimal — 85% built indoors | Full weather exposure |
| Construction wasteFactory vs. on-site waste volume | Up to 50% less | Industry standard (dumpster) |

Timelines reflect standard configurations. Actual schedules depend on site conditions and permitting complexity.
Every solution is built on the same model: parallel construction, factory quality control and one accountable team from start to finish.
Factory and on-site work happen at the same time, compressing delivery for earlier occupancy and rental income.
Whether it's a 6-plex or a prefabricated multiplex of 100+ units, factory-built modules eliminate weather exposure and reduce variability for reliable, repeatable results.
Fixed price* locks in your costs before work begins, protecting your project from the usual construction overruns.
Design, permits, production, delivery and key handover — coordinated under one partner. No gray zones. No finger-pointing.
We review six core factors during a feasibility assessment. Most sites that don't tick every box at first still qualify with a few adjustments.
Minimum depends on the configuration. A 6-plex needs about 10,000 sq. ft. Smaller lots can work for residential projects.
Single-family and multi-family.
Vehicle and crane access is required for delivery and assembly; requirements vary by configuration.
Water, sewer, storm drainage, electrical and gas must be accessible.
Municipal setbacks affect buildable area and density. A preliminary review confirms the right format.
A basic geotechnical assessment is required.

Answers to common questions about our modular housing formats and delivery packages.
Yes. You can combine formats, for example a 6-plex and a 12-plex on the same lot for the equivalent of a custom modular 18-plex, or phase 100+ unit programs across several buildings to optimize density within zoning rules.
Every unit includes a full kitchen, bathroom, flooring, lighting, HVAC and factory-installed drywall. Options range from functional to premium materials and upgraded cladding.
The Minimum package covers structure and core systems. Medium adds upgraded finishes. Complete is fully turnkey. Landscaping and parking are available on request and billed separately.
The modular platform stays standardized for speed and cost control, but cladding materials, color palettes and finishes can be adapted to your branding or the community context — brick, Canexel, fiber cement or wood.
A prefabricated modular multiplex is built in a factory, with HVAC, plumbing and finishes included, then delivered and assembled on your land in a matter of days instead of being built on site over 6 to 7 months. This faster method carries the same CSA A277 certification as a conventional building.
Industrialized construction covers the methods where a significant share of the building is manufactured in a factory rather than on the job site. At 8Module, every unit leaves the factory fully assembled (structure, electrical, plumbing, finishes), which is how we reach our 60-day timelines.
The price of a modular multiplex depends on the number of units, the format (6, 12, 24-plex or larger) and site conditions. Unlike conventional construction, where the final price firms up during the build, 8Module locks in a fixed price* when the contract is signed, following a feasibility assessment. That budget certainty, typical of industrialized construction, makes approval easier with municipal councils and lenders.
Modular construction doesn't necessarily lower material costs, but it cuts the indirect costs that weigh heavily on a multi-unit project: shorter timelines mean lower financing costs, the fixed price* means fewer overruns, and there are fewer subcontractors to manage. On a 12-unit project, a 60-day timeline instead of 6 to 7 months means rental income starts sooner, which matters as much to profitability as the construction cost itself.
Whether it's 6 units or 100+, bring your lot size, your target unit count or your project idea. We'll help you pick the configuration that makes sense operationally.
