VICTORIA – “We build better together.” That’s the mantra Innovior Construction founders Nick Trahan and Karen Roosen apply to every project they undertake. It’s a philosophy of resiliency and adaptability born of collaboration and commitment to community.
Innovior has made their mark providing highly customizable manufactured interiors across BC, embracing technology, and a modern, sustainable approach to building in an industry that has often been slow to change. They’ve done this using custom DIRTT Solutions, empowered by ICE® software to disrupt the conventional delivery model for interior construction.
Innovior has used this innovative technology and a talented team to serve their local community, providing manufactured interior solutions and offsite construction for the likes of Vancouver Island Health Authority, Burnside School, University of Victoria and many more. Most recently, Innovior has taken on a project for Westshore Urgent Primary Care Centre in Langford, in partnership with Victoria’s Century Group Inc.
The Westshore Urgent Primary Care Centre in Langford was under tight deadlines, ideal for Innovior’s fast, efficient pre-manufactured, off-site construction and technology solutions
Seeing more than 25,000 urgent primary care patients in its first year, Westshore is also home to the CARES mental-health clinic, handling thousands of counseling visits since opening in 2018. With such a volume of patients, their need for modern, improved working and patient spaces put them in immediate crunch to get the project completed as fast as possible, on budget.
Elaborates Nick, “Because our solutions are pre-manufactured, off-site and our technology is so speed and efficiency-centric, we were able to meet the extremely tight deadlines required to meet Westshore Urgent Care’s needs. We’re very proud we can offer this type of service to our community.”
Using DIRTT Solutions and ICE® software technology, Innovior and partner Century Group in Victoria were able to take care of every facet of the project, from specs, ordering, design and more
Offsite construction has become more prevalent in Canada due to increased efficiency on job-sites, skilled labor shortages, and increasingly tight project timelines. The market for prefab construction systems is booming, and expected to continue doing so as sustainable building standards increase in demand, and a call for less waste and energy use becomes the industry norm.
Innovior Construction plans to remain at the forefront of this movement for years to come, supporting BC, from local business and health clinics, to schools and much more.
