Canada’s affordable housing crisis needs innovators from across the sector.

Above all, it needs them to deliver efficiency to increase the scale and pace of developments, and to extract full value from every incentive.

Base DesignTM does just that. It clears many of the hurdles that can thwart housing projects, particularly in the complex planning and design phases.

Base DesignTM is a scalable template for rapid housing supply.

As a ‘kit-of-parts’ it can be configured to suit any geography, site, construction method, scale, and budget. It supports efficient development:

  • Meets all CMHC Affordable Housing Fund requirements for energy efficiency, GHG emissions, and accessibility
  • Answers region-specific housing requirements
  • Establishes early certainty around technical and financial project components
  • Quick, realistic proforma development
  • Lower design consultant costs​; abbreviates the design process
  • Shorter predevelopment schedule; cost and risk reduced in planning phase
  • Asset management expertise prepares Housing Providers for smooth operations upon occupancy

Base DesignTM – a finalist in the CMHC's Housing Supply Challenge – is now fully licensable and ready to apply to your developments.
