At Habitat28, our mission has always been clear: to provide high-quality, sustainable, and attainable housing solutions, including Additional Residential Units, that make a real difference in people’s lives. We are incredibly humbled and proud to share that our efforts have been recognized by the Brant Beacon in their recent feature, “House-building enterprise revolutionizing how people live.”
A Heartfelt Thank You to Brant Beacon
This recognition means more than just a spotlight; it’s a testament to the passion and hard work that our team pours into every modular home we create. The article highlights our innovative approach to modular housing and the transformative impact we aspire to bring to communities across Canada, including the creation of additional residential units.
We are grateful to the Brant Beacon for their thoughtful feature, and even more so to the incredible Brantford and Brant County communities who have supported our journey. It’s your belief in our mission that fuels our determination to keep pushing boundaries in the housing industry.
A Look Inside Our Journey
Since our inception, Habitat28 has strived to redefine what’s possible in homebuilding. With modular construction, we’ve embraced sustainability, efficiency, and design flexibility to address Canada’s housing challenges head-on. This feature in the Brant Beacon beautifully captures how our approach is reshaping the future of housing, including creating opportunities for an “additional residential unit” to meet diverse living needs.
Our CEO, Shailesh Poddar, who brings over three decades of experience in construction, shared insights in the article about the heart of our mission. His vision and leadership continue to guide us as we innovate and grow.
The Benefits of Sustainable Modular Homes

Sustainable modular homes offer numerous advantages, making them a smart and eco-friendly choice for modern living. Some key benefits include:
- Energy Efficiency: Modular homes are designed with energy-saving features, reducing both utility costs and environmental impact.
- Waste Reduction: Factory-controlled construction minimizes waste compared to traditional building methods.
- Faster Construction Times: Modular homes can be built and installed much faster, allowing homeowners to move in sooner.
- Design Flexibility: From creating an “additional residential unit” to fully customized homes, modular construction adapts to diverse requirements.
- Durability and Quality: Built in controlled environments, modular homes maintain high standards of quality and durability.
Moving Forward Together
While this recognition is a significant milestone for us, it’s also a reminder that there is still much to be done. The housing landscape is constantly evolving, and we remain committed to creating solutions that are not only innovative but also deeply rooted in the values of sustainability and accessibility. By leveraging modular construction, we aim to provide more families with options like an “additional residential unit” to address housing demands.
To the Brant Beacon, thank you for celebrating our story. To our community, thank you for being a part of our journey. Together, we are shaping a future where housing is a right, not a privilege.
