Boosting Housing Production with Digital Innovation: Green Metrics Joins Digital Supercluster
Housing affordability and availability are critical challenges in British Columbia and beyond. A major bottleneck in addressing these issues is supply chain inefficiency, which slows down construction timelines, increases costs, and creates uncertainty for developers and builders. Green Metrics Technology Corp. (Green Metrics) is proud to collaborate with Tandem Studios and Liquid to develop a procurement support system that enhances supply chain transparency and efficiency for housing production.
This initiative is part of the Digital Supercluster’s newly announced projects aimed at accelerating housing production through digital innovation. By leveraging data-driven insights and automation, our system will help manufacturers, builders, and suppliers optimize procurement processes, reducing delays and improving cost predictability.
Addressing Key Challenges in Housing Supply Chains
Housing production involves complex supply chains with numerous stakeholders, from material suppliers to contractors and logistics providers. Traditional procurement processes often lack real-time visibility, leading to inefficiencies such as:
Material shortages and delays that slow down projects and drive up costs.
Limited coordination between suppliers and builders, making it difficult to adapt to changing project needs.
Inefficient sourcing and purchasing decisions due to fragmented data and manual processes.
Our procurement support system will introduce digital tools that provide real-time tracking, predictive analytics, and automated workflows to streamline procurement and enhance supply chain resilience.
How GMT’s Procurement Support System Will Make a Difference
Through our collaboration with Tandem Studios and Liquid, we are developing a system that will:
Improve supply chain transparency by offering real-time data on material availability, costs, and lead times.
Optimize procurement decisions using AI-powered insights to reduce waste and lower expenses.
Enhance collaboration between builders, suppliers, and manufacturers, ensuring smoother coordination and faster project execution.
A Digital-First Future for Housing Production
At Green Metrics Technologies, we believe that digital solutions are key to unlocking efficiencies in housing production. This partnership with the Digital Supercluster and leading industry collaborators aligns with our mission to make construction smarter, more sustainable, and more cost-effective.
Mike Kennedy, President of GMT, recently joined Amy Vilis, MBA, on Digital’s Blueprint for Growth podcast to discuss how digital transformation is shaping the future of housing. In the episode, Mike highlighted the importance of innovation in making housing more affordable and sustainable. He also shared insights on how BuildBlox is helping smaller manufacturers compete by simplifying and speeding up the design process—reducing costs and eliminating the need for expensive AutoCAD subscriptions.
