Innovation Building Group (IBG) has launched IBG Designs, a new online platform that provides readily-available designs for multi-tenant buildings that smaller communities and organizations can use to address their affordable housing supply challenges.
The customizable building designs offered through IBG Designs are high-performance, climate-resilient, and cost-effective designs for low-rise buildings. By providing accessible and affordable design options, IBG Designs aims to make advanced, sustainable architecture accessible to smaller communities and organizations that might otherwise be constrained by limited resources or financial limitations.
IBG Designs is the culmination of IBG’s successful 40-year track record of constructing energy-efficient buildings. By bringing together the team’s accumulated experience with the latest advancements in building technology, each design offered by IBG Designs integrates substantial improvements at every project stage, ensuring both cost efficiency and high performance.
“We are sharing our hard-earned knowledge to empower smaller communities and organizations to unlock the housing potential in their own backyards,” said Rod Nadeau, CEO and founder of Innovation Building Group. “We’ve spent years constructing and operating our own projects, so every design is meticulously refined and rigorously tested by independent case studies and real-life operations, ensuring they are of the highest quality. Local builders and organizations can now pursue projects they might not have thought were possible.”
Benefits for smaller communities and organizations include:
Expertise and Technology Integration: Each architectural plan in the IBG Designs library is a result of extensive testing and refinement, incorporating state-of-the-art technology to enhance building performance.
Diverse and Customizable Options: The library currently features nine customizable designs that cater to various project sizes and needs, with plans to increase the number of designs and options over the next year.
Municipal Pre-Approval Initiative: IBG Designs streamlines project approvals as each of the designs have previously undergone rigorous municipal approval processes and incorporate changes and improvements that will ultimately reduce delays and uncertainties for builders and developers.
