Canute Homes was founded in 2024 with the goal of finding solutions to the global housing crisis. For building contractors, there is a logistical minefield of labour allocation and material purchase for every housing project. Often times the period of building a house extends over months, which is long enough to see increase in prices of some of the materials. &nbsp; Once we identified fibreglass, it became increasingly clear that it is not only one of the strongest materials known to man, but it is also lighter. The next challenge was design. Our design focuses on hermetic sealing, ease of installation, durability, seismic resistance, sound proofing, thermal insulation, etc. Paul and Dee founded the company to begin pre-production of these modular housing panels in 2024. In early 2027, the first deliveries on preorders will begin. So this is our story.
