Insulated OSB modules · Residential & multi-family

The rigid core of modern multi-family.

MV3 fabricates window, corner and door modules as insulated OSB box sections held in a rigid frame — finished pieces of the envelope, engineered to slot into the way you already build.

MV3 Construction System

MV3 Construction System

Insulated OSB window, corner and door modules — structural, hybrid and insulated components for residential and multi-family construction.

Designed and manufactured in Calgary, Alberta

The system

A module is a finished piece of the thermal envelope.

MV3 manufactures insulated box-section modules from oriented strand board, set within a rigid engineered frame. Each unit arrives as a complete window, corner or door assembly — filled, closed and dimensionally exact.

Because the insulation is part of the section rather than added afterwards, the envelope closes faster and with fewer interfaces to seal. Less cutting, less sealing, fewer call-backs.

01
OSB box-section core
Oriented strand board (OSB) forms the structural skin of every module, pressed and set as a closed box section rather than a flat panel.
02
Exceptionally insulating fill
The insulation sits inside the box section, so the module carries its thermal performance as one finished component.
03
Rigid engineered frame
The frame holds each opening square and true through handling, transport and installation — no on-site correction.

The range

Three modules. One frame logic.

The range covers the openings that most define a residential elevation, fabricated to a common section and set-out so the detail never changes from unit to unit.

M1

Window modules

Deep-set openings formed as insulated box sections, delivering a generous reveal and a clean internal line without secondary framing.

Repeatable sizing across identical units

M2

Corner modules

Corner assemblies that carry the same section around the building's turns, keeping the envelope continuous where it is hardest to control.

M3

Door modules

Door openings sized for multi-family layouts, factory-set so thresholds, reveals and head details arrive already aligned.

Green build

Energy performance you can put in a brochure.

A fabric-first envelope does the quiet work: it holds heat in before a heat pump is ever specified. For a builder, that is a story worth telling — homes marketed on the strength of what they are made of, not just what is bolted to them.

Fabric-first performance
Insulation is built into the section, so the envelope performs before any mechanical system is sized.
Less waste on site
Modules are cut and filled to size in the factory — not trimmed and re-sealed on the scaffold.
Aligned with carbon targets
A contribution to the energy standards your projects are assessed against, and to international reduction targets.

For builders

Built for the way you already build.

MV3 is not a new construction method to learn. The modules integrate with current residential framing practice, so your existing trades can set them — with far less of the carpentry that is hardest to find.

Why builders specify MV3

Less on-site work

The corner, window and door framing elements arrive assembled. What was framing, insulate and seal becomes position, fix and close.

Less trade dependency

Skilled framing labour is the scarcest input on a residential site. Modules reduce how much of it each unit needs.

Current practice, not a new method

The modules work with the framing and set-out your crews already use — nothing to relearn, nothing to licence.

Repeatability across units

Identical modules mean identical openings, storey after storey, building after building.

Project 1 · Southwest Calgary

See MV3 framed, on a real 16-unit townhome build.

Framing begins later this month on MV3's first commercial project with the finalized system, ahead of full commercial production by spring 2027. We are inviting builders, designers and developers to watch it go up. Tell us who you are and we will contact you with the date as soon as it is confirmed.

Next step

Bring us a project.

Send a plan set, a unit count, or a question about whether the system suits your next build. You will hear back from one of the principals.
