Mass timber Passive House condo project looks to be an industry game-changer
Plans are in the works for the first-ever mass timber Passive House condo project in Toronto, a venture between R-Hauz, Windmill Developments and Leader Lane that will include three six-storey residential buildings.
The project, to be built near the Mimico GO station in Etobicoke, will have a total of 83 units. R-Hauz has been working to create a repeatable design that can be easily built on sites in close proximity to one another.
Much of the materials used in the building, including wall panels and flooring, will be prefabricated in a factory off-site and then trucked in when builders need the materials and be assembled at the worksite.

Verster says Metrolinx working hard to contain project costs amidst inflation
Metrolinx CEO Phil Verster says in the agency’s latest podcast that projects being brought to market are being adjusted as commodity prices spike and that a special concern is the availability of skilled workers to carry out those projects.
A confluence of factors has come together to reduce the number of bidders of projects, Verster said, noting supply chain disruption is another source of headaches. Metrolinx currently has $80 billion worth of projects either in market or in various stages of procurement.

Sustainable Buildings Canada calls on industry to accelerate deep retrofits of country’s aging buildings
According to Sustainable Buildings Canada (SBC) there has never been a better time for building owners and operators to invest in improving their aging building infrastructure.
