About Massive Canada Building Systems

Massive Canada’s long-term goal is to capitalize on the rapidly growing demand for mass timber construction that is driven by the technology’s low carbon footprint and recent changes to the building codes allowing up to 12 storeys in Canada and up to 18 storeys in US jurisdictions. Traditional construction involves a proven but painfully slow set of steps done by a variety of trades normally coordinated by a General Contractor. Such building construction has been contributing to 40% of annual global CO2 emissions, of which materials and construction are responsible for 11% annually. Canada has the third highest greenhouse gas emissions per person in the world. As we enter a new age where environmental awareness is key to our future, the global manufacturing and construction market is demanding more sustainable building solutions. Mass timber construction technology represents a pivotal shift in how buildings are designed, prefabricated, assembled, operated, and maintained. Modern mass timber has now replaced traditional heavy timber construction with new materials and methods that are causing ripple effects across the global building industry. Unlike concrete and steel construction, mass timber is sustainably harvested, stress-graded and precision machined. Efficiency in construction results from prefabricating components off-site with tighter tolerances. Massive’s CEO, Gaetan Royer, and his team seized this huge opportunity in transforming how we build and construct by connecting the Massive solution to the network of industry leaders and First Nations partners. The team is committed to improving the world we live in by providing innovative energy efficient building solutions to communities
