Delivery process

From lot to keys in 2 months.

The process is designed to remove coordination drag. We keep permitting, site prep, factory work, logistics, and assembly moving as one integrated program.

From lot to keys in 2 months.
Before the first module arrives

The schedule is already doing multiple jobs at once.

This is where the speed gain happens: the project is structured so paperwork, production, and physical readiness stay aligned instead of waiting on each other.

01
Feasibility first
We confirm land fit, density targets, and the best modular configuration before you commit to the wrong program.
See the model options
02
Permits are managed for you
Engineering, approvals, and municipal coordination stay inside the delivery process instead of becoming a separate owner-side burden.

03
Factory and site move together
Modules are built indoors while the site is prepared, reducing downtime and protecting the schedule from weather and labor disruption.

The time difference

Conventional construction is sequential. Ours is not.

In a traditional build, every phase waits for the last one to finish. With modular delivery, critical workstreams overlap - and the total timeline compresses dramatically.

faster from signed contract to move-in readiness, compared to conventional multi-family construction in Canada.
The parallel advantage

Eight weeks. Six workstreams. All moving at once.

This is the actual timeline structure of a typical 8Module delivery. While modules are being built in the factory, the site is being prepared simultaneously - so when the trucks arrive, the foundation is ready.

While a conventional project would run these phases one after the other over 14-18 months, this schedule overlaps five of six workstreams - factory production and site preparation happen at the same time, so the building is ready within weeks of modules leaving the factory floor.
Stage by stage

What happens at each phase - and what you get out of it.

Four stages, one accountable team. Here is exactly what happens, who handles it, and what you receive at each milestone.

01
Weeks 1-2
Consultation & design
We start with your land, your goals, and your constraints. The feasibility review covers lot size, zoning, access, utilities, and density targets - so the project is scoped correctly before any commitment. You walk away knowing exactly which format fits, what the budget looks like, and what the path to occupancy requires.

Deliverables
  • Site feasibility report
  • Configuration recommendation
  • Preliminary budget & timeline
  • Go / no-go decision brief
02
Weeks 1-4
Permits & engineering
Permitting starts immediately and runs in parallel with early factory planning. Our team handles municipal coordination, structural engineering, architectural plans, and approval submissions. This phase typically overlaps with design finalization - so the schedule never stalls waiting on paperwork.
Duration
3-4 weeks
Managed by
8Module engineering & permits team
Deliverables
  • Building permits secured
  • Structural engineering package
  • Architectural drawings
  • Municipal approval documentation
03
Weeks 3-7
Factory production & site prep
This is where the parallel advantage is strongest. Modules are manufactured under controlled factory conditions - steel framing, insulation, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and interior finishes all happen indoors. Meanwhile, the site team prepares foundations, utility connections, and access paths. When modules leave the factory, the site is already waiting.
Duration
4-5 weeks (parallel)
Managed by
Factory team + site contractor
Deliverables
  • CSA A277-certified modules
  • Quality inspection reports
  • Completed foundations
  • Utility connections ready
  • Transport & logistics plan
04
Weeks 7-8
Assembly & handover
Modules arrive by truck and are crane-set onto prepared foundations. Connection of inter-module utilities, sealing, and exterior finishing follows immediately. Final inspection, commissioning, and walkthrough happen within the same week. The building is move-in ready with no trailing punchlist or months-long finishing phase.
Duration
1-2 weeks
Managed by
8Module assembly & QA team
Deliverables
  • Assembled & weather-tight building
  • Final inspection & commissioning
  • Occupancy certificate
  • Keys & owner walkthrough
Risk removed

The process is built to reduce the usual project friction.

Speed matters, but confidence matters more. The workflow is designed so you are not juggling fragmented scopes, surprise cost swings, or timeline gaps between trades.

Budget
Fixed-price delivery
Pricing is locked before ground breaks so the pro forma is protected from the runaway variability of conventional site-built work.
Explore delivery packages
Timeline
Less weather exposure
Most construction happens indoors, which means the critical path is not dictated by seasonal interruptions on site.

Ownership
One accountable partner
Instead of stitching together multiple vendors, you work with one team through planning, build, delivery, and final turnover.

Process FAQ

How the delivery timeline works, who manages what, and what you need to get started.

A typical project goes from signed agreement to move-in readiness in approximately 2 months. The exact timeline depends on permitting complexity and site conditions, but parallel factory and site work keeps things compressed.
We handle municipal coordination, engineering approvals, and zoning review as part of the delivery model. If a site presents unusual constraints, we identify them early during the feasibility stage before you commit resources.
No. 8Module acts as the single delivery partner. Design, permitting, factory production, logistics, assembly, and handover are all managed under one coordinated team with no need to hire or manage separate contractors.
While modules are being built inside the factory, your site foundations, utilities, and approvals are advancing simultaneously. When modules arrive, the site is ready and assembly takes as little as 4 days instead of months of sequential trades.

We can map the delivery path

If you already have a site or a target occupancy date, we can walk backwards from it and show where modular delivery can compress the schedule.
