The Pilot
Proving the Concept
Our East Vancouver pilot proves that idle land and smart construction can deliver affordable homes—and produces the evidence needed to repeat it.
100% owner-funded. Zero subsidies.
What We're Testing
Four questions this pilot answers — so the next project doesn't have to start from scratch.
Permitting Pathways
Working through Vancouver's regulatory framework for relocatable structures.
Foundation Systems
Developing geodetic foundations designed for future reuse and relocation.
Manufacturing Coordination
Establishing off-site production workflows and quality standards.
Community Integration
Learning how relocatable infill fits within existing neighbourhoods.
Funding Approach
Proving viability with our own resources before seeking partners.
- 100% owner-funded. No government subsidies, no external grants.
- Prove first, then partner. Real data beats projections when seeking collaborators.
- Evidence others can use. Costs, timelines, and permitting learnings documented so cities, lenders, and housing programs can assess the model on real numbers.
Why Self-Fund?
We move faster without external approval gates. When we approach partners, we'll have real numbers — not projections.
What Success Looks Like
- Below-market rental rates achieved through land and construction efficiency
- Functioning side-by-side duplex that meets building codes
- Validated permitting pathway for relocatable structures
- Proven foundation system ready for reuse
- Demonstrated cost-effectiveness through efficient design
- Documented installation and utility connection process
- Framework for future relocations established
The Path Forward
Three stages. Each one unlocks the next.
Pilot Completion
Validate the model with a functioning side-by-side duplex in East Vancouver.
