CALGARY, ALTA. — Calgary-based Arthroto has announced its launch into the prefabrication construction sector, focusing on converting underutilized office spaces into residential and mixed-use housing.
The company will work in partnership with DIRTT, also from Calgary, in the sector. DIRTT specializes in customizable, adaptable and sustainable interior construction, stated a release.
The business model for the production of prefabricated interior structures will include use of building information management systems, smart home technology, smart HVAC systems and new AI design tools.
