An Offsite Construction Team Built Around Coordination
North America Prefab Solutions—NAPS—supports modular, panelized and hybrid projects across Canada and the United States. We help professional and public-sector teams connect offsite strategy, design disciplines, production information and factory-site handoffs.
The NAPS role depends on the project contract, assigned responsibilities and verified delivery team.
Who is NAPS?
NAPS is an offsite-construction business focused on the decisions and interfaces that connect modular, panelized and hybrid building systems.
Its six service areas cover offsite system planning, DfMA, structural engineering coordination, MEP coordination, energy and envelope performance, and digital delivery within the confirmed project scope.
NAPS does not replace every project participant. Architects, engineers, manufacturers, contractors, trades, testing providers and authorities remain responsible for their assigned work.
Why NAPS exists
Moving construction work into a factory does not remove risk. It changes where risk appears and how often one decision can repeat.
A design change can affect many modules. An unclear tolerance can affect installation. A late system decision can reach design, procurement, production, transport and site teams at different times.
NAPS is built around a practical purpose:
Help project teams make offsite decisions earlier, assign responsibility clearly and carry approved information across design, factory and site handoffs.
How NAPS works
-
Fit before method
No offsite system fits every project. NAPS compares options against the building, site, supply chain, transport, approvals and delivery team.
-
Coordination is a deliverable
Interfaces, responsibilities, open decisions, release status and handoffs should be defined rather than left between contracts.
-
Design and production develop together
Repeatable geometry and production rules must support the project programme, architecture and owner requirements.
-
Responsibility stays visible
Licensed professionals, manufacturers, contractors and authorities keep their assigned duties. Coordination does not transfer them.
-
Evidence comes before claims
Cost, schedule, quality, energy, carbon, automation and approval claims require a baseline, method, date, reviewer and current evidence.
One coordinated delivery model
NAPS can work with the client’s existing team and project-specific specialists. The contract and responsibility matrix must identify who owns each decision and deliverable.

NAPS |
Coordinates the confirmed offsite strategy, service interfaces, information and handoffs stated in its scope |
Architects and authorized engineers |
Own assigned professional design, calculations, code basis and seals |

NAPS cannot transfer another party’s credentials, guarantee professional seals, imply factory ownership or guarantee approval.
Before work begins, define who:
- develops and approves each design input;
- performs and seals professional work;
- selects products and manufacturers;
- releases information for production;
- plans transport, lifting and installation;
- inspects work and records changes;
- accepts final documents and asset information.
Six connected services
A project may use one service, several coordinated services or a service-scope review.
-
Modular & Panelized Construction Services — system fit, feasibility and logistics.
-
Modular Building Design & DfMA Planning — repeatable design rules and production-ready interfaces.
-
Structural Engineering for Modular Construction — structural systems, loads, connections and temporary conditions.
-
MEP Coordination & Prefabrication — building-system coordination and factory-site connections.
-
Building Energy Modeling & Envelope Performance — energy, thermal and envelope analysis with confirmed specialists.
-
Digital Delivery for Offsite Construction — controlled information from design through handover.
Who NAPS supports
NAPS works with:
- developers and owners;
- architects and engineers;
- contractors and construction managers;
- offsite manufacturers and suppliers;
- municipalities and housing providers;
- institutional and public-sector teams.
The scope should state who supplies information, who reviews it, who approves it and who remains responsible for implementation.
Across Canada and the United States
NAPS supports professional B2B and public-sector project teams across both countries. The service model is cross-border. The compliance pathway remains specific to each project.
The project team must confirm the authority, adopted codes, modular programme, professional licences, certification route, factory-site inspection split, transport rules and final site requirements.
Common questions about NAPS
Is NAPS a new company?
Yes. NAPS is new. The founding team’s reported experience belongs to its cumulative work before NAPS, not to NAPS company history.
What does NAPS do?
NAPS supports modular, panelized and hybrid projects through six areas: offsite system planning, DfMA, structural engineering coordination, MEP coordination, energy and envelope performance, and digital delivery.
Does NAPS manufacture or install building components?
The answer depends on the project contract and delivery team. The scope must state whether NAPS coordinates, procures, manages or directly performs any manufacturing, transport or installation work.
Who performs licensed engineering work?
Engineering work must be completed and sealed by professionals authorized for the project jurisdiction and assigned scope. The responsible entity must be named.
Can NAPS work with an existing project team?
Yes, when the contract defines the NAPS role, inputs, outputs, interfaces and approval responsibilities without transferring another party’s duties.
Where does NAPS provide services?
NAPS serves project teams across Canada and the United States. Codes, licences, inspections and approvals vary, so each project needs a current jurisdiction-specific pathway.
