Who We Are

Your Partner in Prefabricated Construction

Oliphia is a recognized Canadian specialist in Modern Methods of Construction, providing integration and pre‑construction advisory services for complex, remote, and community‑driven projects.


Our Mission

We advise project teams on the application of Modern Methods of Construction in ways that are practical, coordinated, and beneficial by supporting informed decisions, strong collaboration, and successful project outcomes.


We work alongside like‑minded partners to integrate modern construction approaches thoughtfully, with a focus on long‑term value, resilient delivery approach, and a more sustainable built environment.


Our Firm

Oliphia specializes in guiding Developers and Builders through the intricacies of innovative construction methodologies. We provide advisory services designed to enhance outcomes throughout the project delivery lifecycle.   


Our focus is on transforming potential complexities into simplified outcomes and competitive advantages, ensuring that your venture into prefabricated construction is not just successful, but also sets a benchmark in the industry.


Our Approach

MMC as a Coordinated System

  

Modern construction works best when it’s considered early in the design process and optimally applied.


We focus on:

  • Ensuring MMC methodologies add value to a project's objectives
  • Aligning MMC strategies to the project goals
  • Driving optimized design and supply chain activities
  • Supporting hybrid approaches to drive realized value
  • Advisement for proactive planning and risk-mitigation


Our role is to help teams move forward with clarity, before key decisions are locked in.


Oliphia works with project partners to determine when, where, and how MMC provides measurable benefit, then we integrate those strategies seamlessly into conventional project delivery practices.




Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) Specialist

We don’t promote one solution over another. Instead, we help teams understand what approaches make sense for their project, and how to integrate them smoothly into design, procurement, manufacturing, and site delivery.

  

Over decades, we’ve built a strong Canada‑wide network of manufacturers, suppliers, and service partners. This allows us to support informed decisions, reduce risk early, and help projects move forward with confidence.


Working with Indigenous communities is an important part of our practice. We collaborate with Indigenous partners and Indigenous‑owned businesses with a focus on respectful engagement, shared values, and outcomes that support long‑term community vision and goals.




Our Services

We support project teams through early planning, coordination, and delivery—helping modern construction approaches work effectively within real project constraints.
