New developments are underway at the very eastern edge of Durham Region, 28 luxury homes are being built with a futuristic new process. These massive, modern homes are built with steel pieces manufactured off-site.
“It allows us to assemble homes, not build homes,” said Marc A. Bovet, CEO of Bone Structure.
The home frames are made of all-Canadian steel, 89 per cent of which is recycled steel. No wood cutting on-site, means no wood scrap. That’s estimated to save approximately 10 dumpsters of waste per home during the construction process, according to Bovet.
“There’s no garbage, no garbage containers here,” said Bovet. “It’s like if you get kids to play with playdough, there’s a mess. You get them playing with Lego and they’re all little Einsteins.”
The Newtonville neighbourhood, on Jones Avenue close to the Highway 401 on-ramp, is being built by local developer Fourteen Estates (headquartered in Scugog) and uses the steel construction design of Bone Structure, a Quebec company.
Homebuyers can choose one of the six possible Bone Structure models, ranging from 1,800 square foot to 3,500 square feet. Prices start at $1.3 million. Five of the models are two storeys and one is a bungalow.
