Mikinàk: Affordable housing

and sustainable construction

Creation of a sustainable

construction group

Developing innovations to facilitate

the energy transition of our partners and clients

→ Green value chain → Climate change

To facilitate the operationalization of our ESG strategy on our

sites and to consolidate our expertise in delivering sustai-

nable projects, we brought on a new director and a team of

sustainable construction experts. The team’s mandate is to

respond to the rapid growth in the number of projects seeking

sustainable certif ication, to deploy concrete decarbonization

and circular economy initiatives on our sites, and to deve-

lop an expertise in sustainable construction materials and

methods to support our project teams and our professionals

from coast to coast. Ultimately, this group will enable us to

consolidate our in-house knowledge and offer this expertise

to our clients.

Over the years, we’ve acquired expertise in innovation and tech-

nological development. This is what allowed us to position oursel-

ves as a pioneering company when we launched BIM technology

combined with 4D simulation, in 2012.

Our ability to constantly renew construction processes must now

be devoted to environmental issues. There are many possibilities

and we have already begun work in several major promising areas:

→ Digitization

We’re striving to optimize our work through data intelligence

collected using BIM, VDC, drones and 4D modelling to reduce

the environmental impacts of our projects. We also have the

in-house ability to carry out 6D projects. This approach allows

energy assessments to be carried out during the design and

operation phases of a construction project, as a means of

def in ing a strategy for optimizing energy consumption.

→ Prefabrication

We’re solidifying our prefabrication and modular construction

methods to reduce timelines and costs as well as environmen-

tal impacts and disturbances for neighbouring communities.

By mastering these technologies, we can change and evolve

our industry practices.

→ Green Site Program

We’re preparing our teams to offer our clients, starting in 2023,

the Green Site Program, a support service for implementing

concrete measures to signif icantly reduce a project’s environ-

mental impacts, particularly its carbon footprint.
