Representing and Promoting Quality, Innovation, and Efficiency in Modular Construction Across Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba

Since 1976, the Modular Housing Association Prairie Provinces has represented the modular housing industry across Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. Our members include manufacturers, show home centres, multi-unit project builders, transporters, community owners and developers, and suppliers who help bring modular construction to life.

What We Do

Government Liaison

We work with all levels of government to shape fair policies that support modular construction. Our focus includes building codes, zoning, financing, and consumer protection to create more opportunities for modular homes across the Prairies.

Building Codes

We collaborate with provincial and national committees, including the Canadian Standards Association and the National Research Council, to maintain and improve safety and quality standards for modular-built homes.

Transportation

We promote safety and consistency in the movement of factory-built homes, working toward harmonized transportation standards across Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba.

Community Issues

We advocate for fairness and growth in land lease communities, supporting both landlords and tenants while promoting responsible development that benefits all parties involved in modular housing.

Education

We promote awareness and understanding of modular construction through public education, resources, and training. Our goal is to strengthen the image of modular-built homes and keep members informed with the latest industry updates and professional development programs.

Navigating Financing

We provide guidance to help builders, dealers, and homebuyers understand how to work with lenders, mortgage brokers, and insurers. Our role is to share information and best practices that make financing modular homes clearer and more accessible.
