Housing Affordability Isn't Optional
— It’s Critical
Canada is facing a deepening housing crisis marked by a critical shortage of affordable, attainable, and suitable homes.
Rapid population growth, outdated construction models, and constrained housing supply have driven prices beyond reach for many Canadians.
Without urgent, innovative, and scalable solutions, the gap between housing need and availability will continue to widen.
The Solution
IGV’s Hybrid Construction System.
By combining the precision of prefabrication with the flexibility of on-site building, IGV delivers faster, smarter, and more cost-effective housing
—adaptable to any location and scalable to meet Canada’s urgent demand.
