PrairiesCan will invest $9.6M in projects such as designing and upscaling of modular homes, the use of 3D printing, mass timber construction, panelized construction, as well as implementing net-zero and climate resilient housing practices.

  • capital costs (e.g. purchase of machinery or equipment)
