WINDSOR, ONT. — Habitat for Humanity Windsor-Essex has launched a new modular building program with A-LINX manufacturing facility in Oldcastle, marking another step forward in innovative construction methods that aim to increase affordable homeownership across the country.
The event introduced a collaboration with A-LINX, a division of Amico, to build a 16-home development in Amherstburg. The homes will be produced inside the factory and transported to site once foundations are prepared, a release reads.
A-LINX can build designs from ADUs, missing middle, to 20-storey buildings. The company uses a patented steel-framed system that allows production in controlled conditions to shorten build timelines and limit weather-related delays.
“This is more than one project. It is a demonstration of how Canadian manufacturing capacity can be applied to the housing challenge,” said Justin Amicone, general manager Amico Design Build and A-LINX, in a statement. “By combining advanced building technology with strong community partners, we can accelerate delivery of attainable homes and create a replicable model for regions across the country.”
Habitat for Humanity Windsor-Essex previously received national attention for developing Canada’s first 3D-printed multi-unit building, the release notes. The organization says modular production represents another milestone in its commitment to innovate, collaborate and expand access to homeownership.
