CANADIAN precast concrete solutions company, TILT-UP Technology is looking to partner with local wood producing companies to start a “tiny home” project in Canada.

Officials of the Canadian company had an opportunity to peruse some of the local woods and wood products at the Guyana Timber Expo 2018 at the Guyana National Stadium on Sunday.

“It was a beautiful place and we had an opportunity to meet companies like Woods Direct and Bulkan Timber Works; we want to partner with a company here because we are looking into investing in the tiny home community in Canada,” said Business Developer of the company, Anastasia Fedko, in an invited comment.

Their intent is to develop tiny homes which range from 115-330 square feet and also some larger ones which measure about 2000 square feet.
Fedko said they had an opportunity to discuss prices with the two aforementioned companies. Their aim for the initial phase of the project is to build 200 houses.
“We discussed the pricing and designs to see what we can come up with; for me personally I like the purpleheart wood but I am not so sure about the quality of that and other woods… the companies claimed to have properly cured wood but I got some bad reviews, however we will check and make sure for ourselves that the quality is what they say it is,” said the business developer.

Canadians love wood and she believes that the partnership will work once the quality is good and up to standard.
Fedko also said that the prices are competitive so they will work on negotiating a good price to match the volume of items that they take.

Aside from the tiny home project, one of their aims is to establish a precast concrete manufacturing company here soon.
TILT-UP Technology designs and manufactures several types of precast solutions for any construction situations.

Their precast concrete technology is the affordable solution for projects of all sizes. According to the company’s website, it is easy to install and is offered at competitive pricing.
They also have several different dimensions of precast concrete walls to accommodate all of their customers’ needs.
