The construction industry faces mounting challenges: inefficiency, escalating costs, labor shortages, and environmental concerns. Build Smartr is transforming the way buildings are constructed by introducing prefabricated, net-zero recycled steel-framed panels that cut construction costs by 20% and emissions by ~30%. Their innovative process integrates 3D modeling, recycled steel, and automation to create eco-friendly, non-combustible, and cost-effective building panels that replace concrete or lumber structures.
Why Build Smartr?
This funding will provide a working capital loan to Build Smartr to execute their next project addressing critical housing needs for the aging population. The funds will be used for the procurement of raw steel, engineering services, and other essential early-stage activities to ensure the project is executed efficiently.
Build Smartr has completed multiple projects across British Columbia and Ontario, from single family homes to 8 story senior care facilities. With a proven track record of delivering durable and environmentally conscious solutions, Build Smartr aims to expand its reach and bring meaningful change to the construction sector.
