Build Canada Homes (BCH) has launched a Request for Information (RFI) to engage Canadian firms specializing in modern methods of construction (MMC)—including modular, panelized, and prefabricated systems. This initiative is a critical step toward accelerating the delivery of affordable housing across Canada.
“Modern methods of construction can transform how we build homes—making delivery faster, more cost-effective, and more consistent. This RFI is an opportunity for Canadian firms to help shape the future of housing in Canada,” said Gregor Robertson, Minister of Housing and Infrastructure.
The RFI aims to gather insights from industry leaders on capabilities, business models, and delivery approaches. Interested respondents are also invited to register as part of a forthcoming public directory of MMC firms to help raise awareness regarding the capabilities of the sector.
Responses to the RFI will inform the design of BCH’s upcoming prequalification process and help identify high-potential MMC firms for future projects and partnerships to deliver housing at scale. Participation in the RFI does not guarantee future work but provides firms with an opportunity to influence procurement strategies and signal interest in upcoming BCH-led developments.
“Canada needs innovative solutions to meet the urgent demand for affordable housing. Modern methods of construction offer a faster, smarter way to build, and this RFI is about partnering with industry to unlock that potential at scale,” said Ana Bailão, CEO, Build Canada Homes.
A wide-range of firms are encouraged to respond, including volumetric modular builders, panelized system manufacturers, and design-build firms.
The submission deadline is March 5, 2026.
