BC Housing is excited to announce that we were selected as semi-finalists in the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) Société canadienne d'hypothèques et de logement(SCHL) Housing Supply Challenge Round 5! Our project will develop a first-of-its-kind platform that would accelerate the design and construction of mid-rise multi-family housing in British Columbia! 🏠 The platform will offer open-source, replicable, pre-approved blueprint designs and resources for designers, city planners, non-profits, and the residential construction industry. These designs will be Building Information Management (BIM)-enabled and designed for manufacture and assembly, using AI-powered tools to reduce costs and build time. We’re collaborating with Metro Vancouver and eight project partners across industry to speed up the design, approvals, and construction of mid-rise multi-family housing. Thanks to all our partners for their hard work: Scius Advisory, Iredale Architecture, BIM One, Timber Engineering Inc., Core Two, BCollective Homes Inc., Archistar.ai, and KOPE. A huge thank you to CMHC and the Housing Supply Challenge for their recognition and support.
