BC Housing’s Dr. Esther De Vos and Chris Hill join Mike and Jennifer-Lee to explain DASH: Digitally Accelerated Standardized Housing. They walk through how digital massing, zoning data, standard components, BIM, and off-site manufacturing work together to speed up design, permits, and construction. The episode highlights the program’s recent release, its early demo projects, and what it means for builders, nonprofits, municipalities, and anyone trying to deliver housing across BC.
