Volume
Supply
10+ Units
Factory-direct modular supply for developers, builders, general contractors, investment groups, non-profits, municipalities and Indigenous housing organizations building 10 or more units in a single project.
Supply for Projects
You Control
A Volume Supply account (our direct supply channel) is for organizations building for themselves. You buy the units for a project you own or control, and the agreement covers the units and their delivery.
Your quote is written against your unit mix, with every exclusion listed, so the number your board, council or lender sees is the one you build to.
All units in a phase are built in the same timeframe, not one after another, and manufacturing runs while your site is prepared.
Built for Organizations
Delivering Housing
Rental, infill and subdivision projects where a fixed unit price and a factory schedule de-risk the pro forma.
Add factory-built units to your projects and keep site work, foundations and finishing with your own trades. For builders.
Affordable, supportive and transitional housing, with a written quote and delivery schedule your council can take to a funding decision.
Repeatable designs released in phases as funding is confirmed, with no redesign between rounds.
Band councils, tribal councils and housing authorities, on reserve and off. Community housing.
Staff, workforce and student housing on land you already control.
From One Building Type
to a Whole Subdivision
| Building type | Typical use |
|---|---|
| Single detached | Single-storey homes, studio to two bedrooms plus den, on a strip foundation or helical piles |
| ADUs and garden suites | A second home on an existing lot, for family members or rental |
| Semi-detached | Two households per building where land or servicing is limited |
| Townhomes and row housing | Consistent unit to unit, built as panels or modules |
| Fourplexes and sixplexes | The densest forms covered by the CMHC Housing Guidelines |
| Low- and mid-rise to 6 storeys | Suites craned onto a site-poured foundation |
| Transitional and elder housing | Senior-friendly single-level layouts, with barrier-free options |
| Workforce and staff housing | Health, education, resource and administration staff on employer or community land |
What Changes for a
Multi-Unit Project
| Factor | EpicMod modular | Conventional site build |
|---|---|---|
| Build timeline | 10–12 weeks post-order | 12–18+ months |
| Ten homes | All built in the same timeframe | Built one after another |
| Weather | Indoors, year-round | Delays through freeze-up and spring |
| Labour | Factory crews, no camp needed on site | Trades housed and mobilised to site |
| Cost certainty | Unit price fixed at contract | Overruns common (10–30%+) |
| Engineering drawings | Included at no extra cost | Extra cost |
| Material waste | Up to 30% less waste | Significant waste to haul out |
Timelines are measured from the order being placed. Site work (clearing, servicing, foundations and utility connections) is separate from the unit price.

Panels or
Whole Modules
Both come from the same factory. The site, the road in and how much work you want done locally usually decide which fits. Many housing plans use both.

Warranty. EpicMod warrants the manufactured structure on the published structural terms for each model. Installation, site work, foundations and servicing are warranted by whoever performs them, which on your own projects means you or your trades.
What Happens,
and When
All weeks are counted from the order being placed.
Week-by-week detail as text
Models or catalogue plans matched to the unit sizes you need, and the finish level set per unit. The engineering drawing set is provided for your permit submission once the order is confirmed.
Permit approval runs alongside manufacturing. Timing depends on your approving authority.
Units are built indoors while clearing, servicing and foundations proceed on site, so the two schedules overlap instead of queueing.
Units are trucked in and craned onto the foundation, typically one to two per day. Tie-ins and occupancy follow, with the 2-year structural warranty on the module.
How Multi-Unit
Projects Get Financed
Off-reserve rental. Since May 2026, CMHC’s multi-unit mortgage loan insurance covers modular construction across all its programs, including MLI Select: up to 95% loan-to-cost, with rates typically 1–2% below conventional multi-unit financing.
On-reserve housing. Financed federally rather than through conventional mortgage insurance, typically a combination of program funding, ministerial loan guarantees and community capital. Factory-built homes are eligible construction.
Federal direction. Build Canada Homes has named modular and panelized framing the primary methods for Canada’s housing supply targets, with $13 billion committed and more than 4,000 factory-built homes already commissioned.
EpicMod supplies the drawing set, specifications and delivery schedule any lender or funding body asks for. Programs change, so confirm the route with your lender or funding body before committing. More on rental and multi-unit funding.
