Prefab and modular offices for Calgary
A Herauf office is built complete indoors, with its walls, washroom, wiring, plumbing and heating already in it, and arrives ready to set on a skid, blocking or a foundation. For a lease lot, a yard, a construction site or a permanent business, the catalogue has three sizes to start from:
- Office, 55' × 18', with 5 offices, a boardroom and a kitchenette.
- Site office, 40' × 18', open concept with a kitchenette and storage.
- Safety office, 30' × 14', with two offices.
In Alberta, Herauf delivered a site office for Surge Energy at Wainwright. Layouts, washroom options and how a portable office differs from a trailer are on modular offices.
Multi-family in Calgary
Herauf Development, the development arm of Herauf, builds multi-family in Calgary. The units are the same factory-built modules as every Herauf building, so the building goes up indoors while the foundation and services go in on the lot.
The published layouts, from a duplex and two triplexes to a twelve-plex, are on modular multi-family and infill. Landowners and developers who want to build together start at Herauf Development.
A Calgary office, and the St. Paul yard
Herauf is opening an office in Calgary. Until it opens, Calgary projects are quoted and run from the Kelowna head office, and the details will be on our locations page when it does.
The buildings themselves are made indoors at the Zehner, Saskatchewan and Enderby, BC plants, then finished and staged at the full-service yard in St. Paul, about 490 km from Calgary by road, and delivered from there. Selling to The City of Calgary goes through SAP Ariba Discovery and the Alberta Purchasing Connection, and buyers screening a supplier can go straight to procurement and supplier information.

Common questions.
Is a prefab office the same as a modular office?
Yes, in how Herauf builds them. The office is made complete indoors, with its walls, washroom, wiring, plumbing and heating in place, then delivered and set on a skid, blocking or a foundation. Moving it later is a lift, not a rebuild.
Where does The City of Calgary post its bid opportunities?
On SAP Ariba Discovery and the Alberta Purchasing Connection (APC). Construction bids need a prequalified contractor, and the City accepts prequalification forms through the year.
Does Herauf build multi-family in Calgary?
Yes. Herauf Development, the development arm, builds multi-family in Calgary. The published duplex, triplex, four-plex and larger layouts are on the multi-family page, and an infill or rental project can start with a written quote.
What climate are buildings for Calgary built for?
The National Building Code lists Calgary at 5,000 heating degree-days, which is climate zone 7A, with a January design temperature of minus 30 °C. Herauf's buildings meet or exceed CSA A277 and the National Building Code for climate zones 6 through 8.
