Floors, walls and trusses for multi-family and light commercial buildings, manufactured indoors and delivered to site in sequence. The same SmartWall® system as our houses, scaled up to four storeys of condos or a 30,000 square foot care facility.
A commercial package is the same idea as a house package with the quantities changed. Your architect's drawings come to our design team, who detail every floor, wall and truss in 3D, engineer them, and manufacture them in our climate controlled facility. The building then ships in the order your crew will assemble it.
Every project is specified individually. The Dakova Square package in Duncan shipped walls, floors, trusses, windows, doors and siding; 91 Chapel in Nanaimo took floors, walls and trusses. The residential component list is the starting point.
Need engineered components only, without the full package? That is Pacific Truss , on the same site.
When the 30,000 square foot adult living facility in Smithers was finished, the benefits its owners recorded were practical rather than theoretical.
Prefabricated floor, wall and truss components significantly reduced the overall construction schedule. The shell goes up as fast as the crane can place it.
Major components are built indoors, in a climate controlled environment, from premium grade lumber. They are not sitting in the rain for the weeks a site framed building would be.
Floors, walls and trusses are modelled together in 3D design software, which finds clashes and design flaws before anything is cut rather than on site.
The SmartWall® system reduced the building's heating and cooling costs, and brought better noise reduction between units and better air quality with it. The wall test data .
A west coast contemporary condo development in the historic downtown, designed by de Hoog & Kierulf Architects, developed by Island Creek Developments and built by Island West Coast Developments. One and two bedroom homes finished in natural wood and concrete. Pacific Homes supplied the engineered and prefabricated floors, walls and trusses, shipping from Cobble Hill from February and having the structure close to erected within a couple of months.
Thirty-six one and two bedroom homes between 655 and 1,109 square feet across four storeys in the heart of downtown Duncan, developed by the Dakova Group. The package covered walls, floors, trusses, windows, doors and siding, delivered floor by floor so each storey arrived as the one below was closed in.
A 30,000 square foot adult living facility on the SmartWall® system, with traditional architecture and an open post and beam alpine entrance. It received the Award of Excellence for new construction. The award, and the five floor plans inside it .
Send the architectural set. A Build Specialist and our estimating team come back with what the package would include, what it would cost, and what we would suggest changing to suit prefabrication.
Our design team details the floors, walls and trusses in 3D and produces working drawings for manufacture. Engineering is done in house and stamped for your jurisdiction.
Panels, floor systems and trusses are cut and assembled indoors at Cobble Hill on computerized equipment, then crated and staged by delivery sequence.
Loads arrive in the order they are assembled, storey by storey on a multi-floor building. Your crane and crew place them; your trades follow behind a dried-in shell.
Our residential process is the same shape. The seven steps, in detail .
Both. Commercial building packages for condos, apartments, care facilities and light commercial buildings have shipped from Cobble Hill for years. The three projects on this page are the documented ones; ask a Build Specialist about others.
Dakova Square in Duncan is four storeys on a Pacific Homes package. Wood frame construction is permitted higher than that in British Columbia, and whether a particular design works as a prefabricated package is an engineering conversation we would rather have early than late.
Yes. Engineered components on their own are supplied by Pacific Truss, which shares the site and the design team. The commercial package is the whole structural shell; components only is the truss division.
Your general contractor or framing crew. Packages arrive with drawings, numbered components and sequenced loads, and a crew that has not built with panels before can be walked through it. Builders who want to see the system first can tour the plant.
Yes. Residential packages go across Canada, the United States and overseas, and the same logistics apply to a commercial package. Where the site is affects freight cost and delivery sequencing, not whether we can supply it.
A Build Specialist and our estimating team will come back with what the package would include, what it would cost and how the deliveries would run.
