• The 70-year-old, Toronto-based company is scaling robotic construction, targeting buildings up to ten stories. • Unlike modular, the mobile “micro factory” model avoids factory overhead and high transport costs. • Workers from aerospace, architecture and even gaming backgrounds can be fully trained in less than six months. Nhung Nguyen is CEO of Horizon Legacy, a Toronto, Ontario, Canada-based real estate and construction company that’s been in the industry for over seven decades.

• The company built its reputation by matching QA/QC processes to each client’s quality, durability and compliance priorities. • Director Ron Hegdahl relies on layered inspections, stop points, audits and witness testing to prevent costly mistakes. • Modus turns quality into a competitive advantage by documenting performance, tracking KPIs and showcasing processes to clients. What does a robust QA/QC program look like in practice?

• Modular benefits depend on preparation, realistic expectations and an understanding that it’s not a universal solution. • Site constraints, transport logistics and early manufacturer involvement strongly influence cost, feasibility and outcomes. • Clear responsibilities, fast decisions and learning curve awareness improve outcomes across repeated modular projects. The advantages of modular construction, such as faster schedules and cost savings, don’t materialize automatically.
