WORK HISTORY
Executive Director @Prefab Buildings Initiative
Kelowna, BC, CA
The Prefab Buildings Initiative (PBI) introduces a strategic approach to addressing the national housing challenge through prefabrication and construction optimization. A key aspect of this Initiative is building capacity and driving innovation in the construction market. The PBI will enhance the capabilities of the prefabrication industry and foster collaboration among manufacturers, designers, and engineers to deliver highly efficient building solutions.The PBI will create a robust network of manufacturers, each specializing in specific systems within a building. This decentralized approach allows for specialization and excellence in various building components, leading to the delivery of 80-90% of building components pre-fabricated and ready for on-site assembly. The primary goal is to move beyond single-family homes to multi-unit housing models and other building types (hotels, existing building retrofits, senior residents, etc) thereby addressing a broader range of housing needs.
