Canada needs more homes. Prefabricated houses could fill the void

Terra Page’s new house was the talk of her Toronto neighbourhood. That makes sense, since it was delivered on a truck.

“It was like watching a really cool giant Lego box being assembled,” Page told Cost of Living.

When Page found tree roots growing in the pipes of their 100-year-old house, Page and her family decided their best move would be to demolish the house and build anew. That’s when their contractor suggested a “prefab” house — one that would be built off-site, then shipped to the lot.

Brookfield owns a Prefab housing concern, just a happy coincidence I’m sure.
