AMH is transforming the concept of how we build homes in the Arctic. We offer a complete service, from design to installation, specifically tailored to the complexities of northern construction.

Our energy-efficient modular homes are fully furnished and can be quickly delivered and set up in remote northern communities, redefining how homes are brought to Canada’s remote regions.

Specifications

AMH units have been designed with the Arctic in mind. We are able to supply clients with a variety of floor plan options from 1-4 bedroom stand alone homes or multiplexes.

Some general specifications of the units are as follows:

  • Living pods are 42’ L x 12’ W x 12’ H and can be configured in a variety of floor plans.
  • Living pods weigh approximately 22,000 lbs
  • Pod walls are constructed using a 7.5” thick R-35  Insulated Composite Envelope (ICE) panel. Floor and roof use a 9.25” thick R-43 Panel.
  • In-floor hydronic heat using an oil fired burner.
  • Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) system with hydronically heated pre-heat coil
  • Triple pane energy efficient windows
  • Hydronically heated Insulated exterior waste water tank
  • Units come fully furnished with energy efficient appliances
  • Pods are designed for either a jack/pad or piled foundation.

Factory

Construction of our 16,000 sqft facility in Winkler Manitoba will begin in April 2024 with scaled production of our units to begin in October 2024. Our Factory floor can accommodate up to 5 living pods and 2 mechanical room pods at any given time with the ability to produce between 80-100 pods per year.

Greenstone

The pods’ envelope is constructed using Insulated Composite Envelope (ICE) Panels manufactured by Greenstone Building Products in Brandon, Manitoba. Visit gsbp.ca  for more information.

These panels are made of steel and Graphite Polystyrene (GPS), both inorganic materials, providing durability, resistance to warping and cracking, and zero toxic gas emissions. The ICE Panels are also mold and mildew-resistant.

These energy-efficient homes have a tight envelope, eliminating thermal bridging, and can be up to 2.5 times more efficient than a standard 2×6 framed home.

Transport & Install

AMH’s modular units are designed for remote Arctic communities and can be delivered to any community in Canadas Arctic region.

These units are manufactured in Manitoba, trucked to Quebec, and shipped to Nunavut communities. Upon arrival they are trucked to site and lifted onto a piled or jack foundation using a loader, making them a feasible housing solution for these remote areas.

After the Pods are set in place, a small team of tradespeople completes the necessary carpentry, mechanical, and electrical connections on-site. This efficient process ensures that the homes are ready for occupancy within weeks of the base’s arrival.

Package

AMH’s units arrive at the site fully furnished with appliances and all necessary materials for on-site work. We also assist clients in handling local and regional development and building permit applications, ensuring a streamlined process for their clients.
