The Liptak Group's Canadian advanced-manufacturing platform, built on more than 70 years of design-build and housing-market experience. Nubuild is advancing a planned Phase 1 commercial reference factory in the Ottawa area, the operating foundation for a scalable Canadian SuperFactory platform.
Nubuild is the Liptak Group's Canadian advanced-manufacturing platform. Nubuild's role is upstream: manufacturing configurable, high-completeness volumetric modules within a controlled Canadian production system. Downstream partners connect that capacity to awarded projects, sites, financing, local delivery and long-term operations. The platform is in development, with a planned Phase 1 commercial reference factory as its first facility.
Volumetric modules produced through engineered station flow, robotics, skilled people and integrated digital control.
Owned and operated by the Liptak Group, keeping operating knowledge, technology and value inside Canada.
Factories designed to phase in on the same site, with expansion following validated demand, commissioning milestones and defined operating gates.
Nubuild is advancing a planned 200,000 square foot Phase 1 manufacturing facility in the Ottawa area. Phase 1 is designed to combine Canadian-controlled digital systems, advanced manufacturing, robotics, AI-enabled production controls and skilled human expertise. Its mandate extends beyond output: establishing production performance, quality and traceability, workforce readiness, downstream partner interfaces and the operating evidence required for disciplined same-site expansion.
Figures reflect the current governing plan. Production volumes are established through downstream partners’ awarded projects and definitive agreements. Phase 1 serves as the commercial reference factory for the four-phase Ottawa pathway and qualified national expansion.
Nubuild's role is upstream: manufacturing configurable, high-completeness volumetric modules within a controlled Canadian production system. Downstream partners connect that capacity to awarded projects, sites, financing, local delivery and long-term operations across a diversified set of housing and accommodation programs.
Public-value sponsors and repeatable program requirements.
Community-led needs and cold-climate applications.
Repeatable accommodation and operational programs.
Repeatable residence programs for post-secondary institutions.
Specialized, repeatable accommodation with accessibility and care-informed configurations.
Developers, builders and downstream partners across multi-residential delivery.
Built upstream. Delivered downstream. Nubuild provides manufacturing capacity; downstream partners bring projects, sites, financing, local delivery and operations. Pillars describe addressable program channels, not awarded projects.
Representative renderingBased on downstream partner and program requirements.
Complete three-dimensional modules shift substantial work from site to factory. Structure, envelope, mechanical and electrical systems, and interior and exterior finishes all advance within one controlled production flow, then ship for rapid site integration.
Configurations respond to unit type, accessibility, climate, code, finish and downstream program requirements.
Complete dwelling units, multi-module family homes, apartments and stacked configurations, accessible and supportive-living configurations, student and workforce accommodation, northern and remote applications, and other repeatable residential and accommodation programs.
Structure, systems and finishes advance together in one controlled flow.
Defined QA gates and digital traceability support verification throughout production.
Modules can be configured as net-zero-ready based on program, climate, code and downstream partner requirements, including cold-climate and northern applications.
Offsite construction spans very different production models. The more a building is completed inside a controlled factory (structure, envelope, systems and finishes), the less is left exposed to weather, site sequencing and variability. Nubuild's advanced volumetric approach moves substantially more building activity into a controlled factory environment.
Bars illustrate how much of the building is completed inside the factory before it reaches site. Nubuild industrializes the module itself: AI-integrated control, robotics and station flow work with skilled people to increase repeatability, quality and throughput.

123worx, wholly owned by the Liptak Group, will connect the entire operation into one digital system: planning production, coordinating machine execution, integrating AI, verifying quality and detecting variance. It keeps operating knowledge and the ability to replicate the model inside the Canadian platform.
Conceptual renderingIndustrial capacity grows through controlled inputs, engineered flow, digital coordination and measured release. AI and robotics augment skilled human expertise at every station, turning controlled indoor work into repeatable industrial output.
Nubuild factories are designed for same-site expansion. Each begins as a right-sized reference factory and grows in place, adding production area and lines without starting over. Expansion advances through validated demand, commissioning milestones and defined investment and operating gates.
A right-sized facility establishes the model, workforce and quality benchmarks.
Production area and lines are added in place as demand is proven.
The site matures into a full-scale advanced-manufacturing SuperFactory.
Completing all four planned Ottawa phases establishes Nubuild's first SuperFactory: a single site whose designed capacity, workforce and operating evidence anchor the broader Canadian platform.
Figures are designed capacities from the current governing plan and remain subject to validated demand, financing and approvals at each phase. Additional completed-SuperFactory outcome metrics will be published as ownership approves them from the governing model.
Nubuild is designed to do more than manufacture modules in Canada. It keeps ownership, digital control, operating knowledge and industrial value within a Canadian platform while building the capability to support housing and accommodation programs across the country.
Nubuild is Canadian controlled, with accountable ownership and a long-term commitment to building industrial capability here. Strategic direction, operating priorities and the value created as the platform grows remain anchored in Canada.
123worx provides Nubuild's digital backbone. Production data, operating knowledge, process improvements and the systems required to operate and replicate the platform remain within the Canadian-controlled organization.
Nubuild establishes the capability to manufacture high-completeness volumetric modules in Canada. This expands domestic production capacity while retaining specialized manufacturing knowledge and operating capability within the country.
The platform supports year-round work across advanced manufacturing, engineering, digital systems, production, quality and installation. It also develops the specialized workforce skills and operating knowledge required for continued growth.
Factory production creates recurring demand for qualified Canadian materials, components, professional services and technical support. Nubuild will prioritize competitive Canadian participation wherever practical as the platform grows.
Nubuild's capacity can support housing, Indigenous and northern communities, defence and military accommodation, student and workforce housing, seniors and supportive living, and other repeatable programs delivered through downstream partners.
Canadian demand converted into lasting Canadian capability. Nubuild creates productive capacity, skilled employment, supplier participation and operating knowledge that can grow with Canada's housing and accommodation needs.
The planned Ottawa site anchors a national plan of nine planned SuperFactories in total, including Ottawa. Each future location advances through separate demand, site, financing, provincial engagement and approval decisions, keeping production, jobs and capability in Canadian hands.
