Workforce Housing for Mining, Oil & Gas and Remote Sites
Factory-built staff and camp housing for mines, exploration sites, oil and gas and energy projects, and the employers and municipalities that house their workforce. Engineered for northern Ontario climate. Delivered 10–12 weeks after order.
Factory-Built. Fast. Financeable.
Modular Homes Built for
Workforce Demands
Workforce housing covers any housing need driven by employment rather than the open market: camps and staff housing at mines and mineral exploration sites, crews on oil and gas, pipeline and energy projects, employer-provided housing in rural and northern Ontario, and municipal affordable housing programs.
EpicMod’s units are engineered for northern Ontario climate conditions and built to the Ontario Building Code. They are manufactured indoors while your site is prepared, so a remote project does not need trades housed and mobilised to build the housing itself, and the delivery route and crane access are confirmed before manufacturing starts.
As of May 2026, modular construction is fully eligible for all CMHC multi-unit insured programs including MLI Select — removing the last major financing barrier for institutional and municipal workforce housing projects.

Workforce Housing
Use Cases
Mining & Mineral Exploration
Staff housing and camp accommodation at operating mines, development projects and exploration sites across northern Ontario. Studio and one-bedroom units for single occupancy, two-bedroom units for shared crew housing, set on a helical pile or crawl space foundation to suit the ground.
Oil, Gas & Energy Projects
Crew and staff housing for oil and gas fields in Alberta and other producing regions of Canada and the US, including the Pennsylvania and Ohio shale fields, and for pipeline, transmission and generation projects in Ontario. Phased delivery lets housing follow the project as it grows.
Municipal Affordable Housing
Municipalities and housing authorities filling affordable housing gaps with OBC-compliant modular units. CMHC MLI Select eligible — up to 95% loan-to-cost at below-market financing rates.
Seasonal Worker Accommodation
Agricultural, hospitality, and construction employers providing compliant, quality housing for seasonal workers. Fixed package pricing makes per-unit costs predictable for multi-year programs.
Employer-Provided Housing
Businesses recruiting talent to rural or remote Ontario communities. Offering quality employer housing as a benefit increases retention and recruitment in tight labour markets.
Transitional & Social Housing
Non-profit organizations and social housing providers building transitional housing quickly and cost-effectively. OBC-compliant units that meet provincial building and occupancy standards.

How to buy at volume. Volumetric units are supplied through the EpicMod dealer for your area, as exterior-finished shells or fully finished plug and play. Employers, municipalities, and housing providers buy from that dealer; where no dealer holds the territory yet, EpicMod serves the project directly until one is appointed. Taking on volume year after year is itself a route to a dealership, from 10 units a year.
Tax and rules. Employer housing is generally a taxable benefit unless a special work site or remote location exemption applies, and seasonal worker housing has its own inspection rules. See the workforce housing guide before you plan the project.

Common Questions
Workforce Housing FAQs
Yes. EpicMod’s OBC-compliant modular homes are fully eligible for workforce housing applications across Ontario — including remote work sites, employer-provided housing, and municipal affordable housing projects. Factory-built off-site and delivered ready to install, they are faster and more cost-predictable than site-built alternatives.
There is no minimum order. Single units and multi-unit projects are both quoted at standard package pricing. For large projects, all units are built simultaneously in our climate-controlled factory — so a 10-unit project takes the same 10–12 weeks as a single unit. Contact EpicMod to discuss your project scale and timeline.
Yes. As of May 2026, modular construction is fully eligible for all CMHC multi-unit insured programs including MLI Select — with no pilot access required. This applies to employer housing and municipal affordable housing projects using EpicMod modular units. CMHC-backed loans are available at up to 95% loan-to-cost at rates typically 1–2% below conventional.
EpicMod homes are set on one of two foundation types: helical piles or a crawl space. The right one depends on site conditions, soil type, and local requirements. EpicMod provides the engineering drawings at no extra cost: architectural and structural for an exterior-finished shell, plus mechanical and electrical for a fully finished unit. Your site contractor selects and installs the appropriate foundation based on those drawings.
EpicMod delivers 10–12 weeks after your order is confirmed. Factory manufacturing and site preparation happen simultaneously — while your foundation is being installed, your units are being built in the factory. For multi-unit projects, all units are manufactured at the same time, so you do not wait sequentially for each unit to be completed.
Yes. EpicMod units are built to the Ontario Building Code and engineered for northern Ontario climate conditions, in studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom layouts for single occupancy and shared crew housing. In unorganized territory, camps housing five or more workers fall under Ontario Regulation 502/17, which requires sleeping buildings to be maintained to the Building Code. The rules are set out in our workforce housing guide.
Generally not, except for the septic system, but the buildings must still meet the Building Code, which the province enforces where there is no municipality. Contact the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing before you build, notify the medical officer of health at least 14 days before the camp opens, and check with the Ministry of Natural Resources whether a Crown land work permit is needed.
Yes. EpicMod delivers to oil and gas fields in Alberta and other producing regions in Canada and the US, as well as to projects in Ontario, where production is mainly in the southwest. The product line is certified for Ontario, New York, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania; for other provinces and states, the code and certification requirements at the destination are confirmed when the project is quoted. Units can be delivered in phases so housing follows the project, and the delivery route and crane access are confirmed before manufacturing starts.
Not where an exemption applies. At a remote work location, generally 80 km or more from a community of at least 1,000 people, or at a special work site where the employee keeps a home elsewhere and stays at least 36 hours, board and lodging can be excluded from income. Elsewhere, free or below-market housing is generally a taxable benefit. See the workforce housing guide.
