New for 2026!
BUILDEX Offsite
Unlock the potential of offsite construction practices at BUILDEX Vancouver.
BUILDEX Offsite
Prefabricated construction is not new to Canada. The sector currently employs an estimated 184,800 workers and generates close to $90 billion in revenue annually, with projected growth of 4.4% CAGR through 2029.
However, Canada's built environment faces significant challenges today. Flatlining productivity, labor shortages, an affordable housing crisis, rising costs, and often uncooperative weather have created new urgency around prefabricated solutions. As a result, Canada's three levels of government, the construction industry, and the general public are showing renewed interest in prefabricated construction methods.

Mass timber and wood-based prefabrication
Given that approximately two thirds of Canadian prefab facilities predominately use wood, BUILDEX Offsite is perfectly complimented by WoodWorks at BUILDEX, a collaboration between BUILDEX and Canadian Wood Council. WoodWorks at BUILDEX offers an exceptional opportunity for all professionals of the built environment to immerse themselves in the latest innovations in wood-based design and construction.
