Sustainable Housing: Built to Last
The industrialization of housing means manufacturing homes with precision—faster, more efficiently, and at scale. Companies like Assembly Corp. are leading this transition with automation, advanced materials, and streamlined production to cut costs and speed up delivery.
The Government of Canada’s $19 million investment through FedDev Ontario is accelerating this transformation, supporting 10 construction and homebuilding manufacturers in scaling production, driving innovation, and improving efficiency. Of this, $4 million is dedicated to Assembly Corp., enabling them to expand their manufacturing capabilities and deliver over 1,000 sustainable housing units annually.
For Assembly Corp., this means automated prefabrication, less waste, and faster timelines— critical components for tackling Canada’s housing crisis.

Scaling Housing Through Collaboration
To truly scale housing production, collaboration is key. Assembly Corp. is working with global leaders in modular construction to integrate advanced manufacturing techniques and improve efficiencies in housing delivery. Their recent partnership with Lindbäcks Group, a Swedish pioneer in precision-engineered modular and panelized wood housing, is helping bring highly automated, scalable homebuilding solutions to Canada.
By leveraging Lindbäcks’ expertise in off-site manufacturing, Assembly Corp. is applying cutting-edge techniques to reduce costs, shorten build times, and improve sustainability in the Canadian market. This partnership is a strong example of how global innovation can drive local impact—delivering homes faster while maintaining high quality and environmental responsibility.
With investments like FedDev Ontario’s, Canadian homebuilders are positioned to drive this transformation at scale, proving that industrialized housing is no longer an idea for the future—it’s happening now.
Industrialized Housing: A Smarter Way to Build
The shift toward industrialized housing marks a fundamental transformation in how homes are built. Moving construction off-site and into a factory-controlled environment ensures greater precision, efficiency, and scalability.
Key benefits of industrialized housing include:
- Reduced Build Times – Factory-built components accelerate assembly, minimizing delays from weather and labour shortages.
- Lower Costs – Standardized production and automation reduce material waste and labour inefficiencies.
- Higher Quality & Performance – Homes are built to millimetre precision, ensuring better insulation, durability, and energy efficiency.
- Sustainability – Prefabricated wood structures lower carbon footprints and create less construction waste compared to traditional builds.
- Labour Solutions – Automation helps increase Canada’s productivity, making home production more resilient and efficient.
With factories like Assembly Corp.’s, set to be operational by early 2026, Canada is embracing this model at scale, ensuring housing can be built faster, smarter, and more sustainably than ever before.
The Future of Housing: Smarter, Faster, Greener
Industrialized housing is not just about building more—it’s about building smarter. As a provider of efficient, panelized, wood buildings, Assembly Corp. is redefining housing by using:
- Automation, robotics, and AI-driven manufacturing to streamline production.
- Sustainable, high-performance wood materials to improve energy efficiency and carbon impact.
- Precision engineering and panelization for faster, scalable homebuilding.
The path forward is clear: Housing must be treated as a scalable product, not just a one-off project. With government support and industry leadership, the next generation of homes will be faster to build, more affordable, and more sustainable than ever before.
