Modular Townhomes, Duplexes & Triplexes

Efficient Density, Elevated Design

Orca LGS provides a streamlined modular solution for townhomes, duplexes, and triplexes — the perfect fit for BC’s growing small-scale multi-unit housing (SSMUH) movement. Our light-gauge steel modular system allows multi-unit projects to be designed, approved, and installed in a fraction of the time compared to traditional builds.

Each unit is built to exacting standards in our climate-controlled facility, ensuring precision, energy efficiency, and long-term durability. Whether it’s a two-unit duplex or a six-unit townhome complex, Orca’s modular approach offers developers and investors a cost-predictable, scalable, and design-flexible solution. Build high-quality housing that looks custom — but is delivered with modular efficiency.

Laneway Homes & Secondary Suites

Smart, Fast, and Functional Additions

Laneway and carriage homes are now permitted across much of BC — offering homeowners a valuable opportunity to add rental income, create family space, or age in place. Orca’s modular laneway homes are designed to fit tight urban lots while maintaining high-end aesthetics and energy performance.

Our prefabricated modules are built off-site and installed quickly, minimizing disruption to your property. Choose from a range of pre-engineered models or modify a design to fit your lot’s specific zoning and footprint. From studio-style garden suites to two-bedroom carriage houses, we deliver complete, ready-to-install modular homes that are move-in ready within weeks.

Custom Solutions for Unique Properties

Collaborative Design for Developers & Architects

Not every site is the same — and that’s where Orca’s custom modular expertise stands out. For unique lots, sloped terrain, or signature developments, our in-house design and engineering team can create custom modular solutions that meet both municipal requirements and your vision.

We work closely with developers, builders, and architects to optimize designs for modular construction — ensuring speed, cost certainty, and seamless installation. Whether you’re reimagining a challenging infill lot or planning a multi-phase modular development, Orca’s steel-framed system offers flexibility, strength, and precision.

The flats

ORCA partnered with FMC Holdings and Petani Bay Investments of Nanaimo to create a vibrant new community in Vancouver Island’s adventure playground.

56 new homes with a vision to redefine the concept of manufactured home parks, creating a new model for high quality attainable housing.

“Modular homes that are designed and built sustainably, reducing environmental impact, whilst prioritizing comfort, well-being, and health”

partnership & teamwork

A successful development can be characterized by the challenges it presented and how well the stakeholders worked together to overcome them. Some highlights from The Flats where ORCA’s expertise, innovation and problem solving were used to good effect for the benefit of the development:

The land is zoned MHP-1 but did not suit typical manufactured supply – design inflexibility, dimensional limitations, logistical constraints and costs, long factory lead-times, and inflexible delivery schedules.

ORCA’s hybrid on-site pop-up factory resolved all of the above achieving the feasibility requirements of the project.

Communities

We take great pride in the quality of our craftsmanship, the excellence of our suppliers, and our commitment to delivering top-tier accommodation units that are built to last. For our prefabricated builds, this translates into reduced maintenance, minimized cleaning time, and ultimately, a higher return on investment due to the limited need for frequent refurbishments and repairs. The unique experience offered by our units is defined by the comfort provided by commercial-grade insulation, which helps in regulating temperature and enhances energy. Welcome to our innovative approach to community building for developers! At the heart of our mission lies an integrated design process, seamlessly blending contemporary architectural principles.
