More people will find their place in a community they love as B.C. continues rolling out new innovations that are making it easier and faster to build affordable homes, helping contribute to the decline in the asking price for rent in communities throughout B.C. A new online platform called DASH, Digitally Accelerated Standardized Housing, is helping developers and non-profit organizations design and construct three- to six-storey buildings more quickly and at lower cost using products manufactured in B.C. DASH replaces traditional review and construction methods with a modern, industrialized approach built around standardized building components and designs, digital co-ordination and prefabrication. For example, developers, builders or non-profit organizations designing a wood-frame, multi-family structure can enter details, including land parcel shape and size, planned building storeys, unit bedroom counts, and so on. New construction techniques, such as mass timber and off-site building, are helping reduce waste and deliver homes faster.
