Stephen McQueenie, CEO of SG Modular, a manufacturer of modular building solutions talks about a range of projects from humanitarian housing for Syrian refugees, the world class orphanage they built in Turkey, to tiny houses in Canada. The New York Times described SG Modular as the builders of the "perfect refugee camp". With housing shortages, housing bubbles, and climate resiliency at the top of minds worldwide, SG Modular is at the front of an industry in transformation. Stephen's firm builds large factories through to small family homes with an emphasis on extended lifespans, passive, net zero, sustainability, and comfort and affordability for end-users. Modular building techniques are ripe for disrupting the construction industry, which is already under pressure from supply chains, environmental practices, and underinvestment in skilled tradespeople to staff building and construction projects. Stephen walks us through addressing humanitarian crises, hurricane-proof housing you can build like a lego set with your family, and the global shortage of fit for purpose housing.
