Description

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?

• Sustainability: Leveraging recycled steel creates a circular economy and prefabricated panels ensure there is no waste/offcuts on site.
• Efficiency: Projects are completed 25% faster than traditional methods, enabling quicker delivery.
• Safety: Non-combustible steel framing enhances fire resistance for residential and commercial buildings.
• Cost-Effectiveness: Prefabrication lowers material and labor costs, ensuring affordability. 

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.

The Impact

Direct Impact

This project addresses key inefficiencies in the construction industry by using recycled steel and prefabrication technology to produce durable, fire-resistant, and environmentally sustainable building panels. These innovative methods significantly reduce construction waste, accelerate project timelines, and lower costs, promoting more eco-friendly and responsible building practices.

• Tree Preservation: The project will save 10,000 trees, equivalent to protecting 14.64 acres of forest.
• Carbon Emissions Savings: By saving 10,000 trees this project avoids 218 metric tons in CO2 emmisions.
• Timber Waste Reduction: This project will eliminate 100,000 lbs of timber waste.
• Buildings Completed: One senior care facility will be completed as part of this project.
  
  

Indirect Impact

By improving construction efficiency and sustainability, this project supports affordable housing development and enhances community safety through non-combustible materials.

• Community Impact: This initiative will result in the creation of 90 new senior care units, addressing critical housing needs for aging populations.
• Job Creation: 12 jobs will be created through this initiative.

Financial viability

This project focuses on the engineering, production, and delivery of a large-scale development, leveraging Build Smartr Robotics’ expertise in prefabricated steel framing and construction technology. The total contract value is $3,500,000 CAD, with $200,000 CAD required to launch the project.

The $200,000 CAD will be allocated as follows:

• $150,000 – Raw Steel Procurement: Purchasing steel directly from the mill, reducing costs by 40%.
• $25,000 – Engineering Costs: Creating detailed engineering drawings and coordinating with a third-party engineering firm to ensure the design meets BC building codes and is optimized for efficiency.
• $25,000 – Project Management: Supporting efficient installation from the start, ensuring a smooth process and an excellent client experience for their first prefabricated project.

The funding will support initial capital costs and operational expenses, enabling Build Smartr to commence the project in Q2 2025 and complete it by Q2 2026. Upon completion, this will be the first prefabricated steel project in Maple Ridge, BC. Build Smartr will also solidify its partnership with one of BC’s largest construction companies, with multiple projects planned in the pipeline.

Guarantees

The loan granted to the borrower, BUILD SMARTR WHOLESALE INC.,will have the following guarantees:

• A personal guarantee from the majority shareholder for the full amount of the loan.
