WE ARE A NOT-FOR-PROFIT

MEMBER DRIVEN ORGANIZATION

WE DO UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR OUR

COMMERCIAL MEMBERS TO BE PROFITABLE.

The Canadian Offsite Alliance exists to do what no one else is doing:
To bring together builders,

developers, NFP’s manufacturers, GC’s. suppliers, governments,

and innovators

Not just to talk, but to act.

We provide the tools, the coordination, the OffSite Expertise and the push to move projects forward.

Because building housing at high speed, solving this crisis, and getting heads in beds requires more than intention.

It requires organization.

And action.

Now.

Canada is not short on companies, people and organizations that need & want to build.

TRULY this is not about our ability or even our capacity.

Ability we can adapt.

Capacity we can build and scale UP!

This is about systems that do not talk to each other, approvals that take too long, and good ideas that never get off the ground.

  • Building a project quickly feels impossible.
  • The housing crisis feels impossible.

We are short on coordination.

The real crisis is not construction.

It is chaos. And we are here to fix it.

So

Let's Build Housing

Let's Build CAnada

BuildTeck

BuildTeck is the emerging technology layer powering faster housing delivery across Canada. Coined and led by the Canadian Offsite Alliance (COA), BuildTeck refers to the integrated use of digital tools, automation, and AI systems to streamline all non-construction phases of housing.
Including permitting, zoning, site approvals, consultant coordination, and AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) interactions.

BuildTeck will introduce and include technologies like:

  • Automated zoning and permitting systems

  • GIS-integrated project planning

  • Digital coordination with traffic, fire, geotechnical, and other permit required consultants

  • Compliance checking for CSA A277 and building codes

  • Project risk dashboards and digital performance bonds

BuildTeck is the technology infrastructure behind both the COA Capability Rating System and a newly developed digital risk scoring platform – Specific to Modular and OffSite Projects.

 

These advanced technologies will ensure housing projects can be approved, funded, and built faster – with full transparency, compliance, and trust.
