First Nations communities across the Northwest are discovering that modular is a better, faster, and easier solution than typical site construction. With attractive designs and superior construction quality, Shelter’s modular buildings are as comfortable and as durable as site-built. In fact, Shelter’s modular buildings are so good that many people say that you can’t tell the difference.
Even though many people call modular better construction, the real advantage for remote First Nations communities is the ease and the faster construction schedule. Typical site construction requires a lot of coordination of materials, tradespeople, and inspectors — not to mention dealing with construction delays due to poor weather. In remote sites, typical site construction almost becomes impossible when you can’t just run down to the local hardware store to pick up some screws or you have to reschedule some trade because of rain. With modular construction, all of that coordination is handled in Shelter’s heated factory. Ultimately, modular construction not only saves a pile of headaches, it ultimately reduces costly delays and unnecessary waste.
Shelter’s modular is simply a better solution. Not only is it better quality, faster, and easier, it is also better for the environment and better for your pocketbook. Discover the advantages of modular. Let us help you explore the possibilities and start planning. Call Shelter at 1.800.561.3822 or 1.604.856.1311.
