Light-Gauge Steel (LGS) Framing
Durable, corrosion-resistant galvanized steel (G90). This resists rot, mold, pests, fire—basically everything that kills wood structures—and demands nearly zero upkeep.Warm frame Construction allows for the integration of advanced insulation techniques and sustainable building envelope solutions, creating structures that are better equipped to meet energy efficiency standards.
Low Waste, High Efficiency
Using steel means less than 1% waste versus wood’s typical ~20%. Fast to produce, fast to assemble—saves time, labour, money
Built to endure coastal humidity, wildfire threats, and heavy rains using corrosion-resistant and fire-retardant materials
Homes meet or exceed Step Code 5 for energy efficiency—translating into lower heating bills and a lighter carbon footprint.
High-End Finishes included as standard: wide-plank hardwood, quartz countertops, porcelain tiles, custom backsplashes, built-in storage—par for the course in ORCA homes
Option to finish to “lock-up” stage for personalization or go fully finished with ORCA’s curated palettes (“Daybreak” or “Twilight”)
Built indoors in controlled factories, ORCA PODs dodge weather delays and stay on schedule.
Manufacturing efficiencies—bulk material purchasing, streamlined assembly—cut construction time to roughly 4 months, which saves labour costs
On-site “pop-up factories” for large developments slash shipping costs and timelines; this innovation earned them the BC Modular Housing Association’s Innovation Award
