Municipalities across Ontario, Canada and beyond are struggling to meet the demands for new social, supportive and affordable housing. To address the shortage in supply, they are increasingly looking to modular housing as an innovative way to deliver projects. Enda McDonagh and Kevin Hutchinson, Principals of Montgomery Sisam Architects, discussed the advantages and challenges of using modular construction methods to address the housing shortage, from initial approvals and public engagement, through to product manufacture and delivery.
