A partner of choice
for Indigenous Nations.
Herauf Enterprises works on and supports lands that are the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of many Indigenous Peoples. We partner with First Nations and Métis communities to deliver quality housing, built with respect and delivered with dignity.

Quality homes, delivered where roads only exist in winter.
More than
housing.
We are committed to continue learning, which deepens our understanding of colonial history. We are engaged to continue the work of decolonization in all our interactions.
Every Indigenous housing project we undertake is more than housing. It’s about homes built to last, in a way that respects and integrates the cultural and environmental heritage of Indigenous communities.
We partner with First Nations and Métis communities to deliver modular homes that are built to the highest quality and durability standards, in partnership with CMHC and government agencies where applicable.
The homes, clinics, offices, family services buildings, washrooms and daycares a community can order are on community buildings for First Nations and Métis communities, and the federal programs that usually fund them are explained in funding modular buildings for First Nations.

Fire-resistant, energy efficient, built for what comes next.
Options for remote, northern and wildfire-exposed sites, on top of a building made to stay warm and cheap to run.
FireSmart and non-combustible options
Non-combustible cladding, roofing and soffits, ember-resistant vents and a clear perimeter, specified to FireSmart Canada guidance for communities in wildfire country.
Energy efficient as standard
Triple-pane low-E windows and a continuously insulated, airtight envelope, engineered for climate zones 6 to 8, so a building costs less to heat through a northern winter.
Solar-ready
Solar rough-ins built in at the plant, so panels can be added later without opening walls or roofs.
Always in R&D
We keep testing new materials and building concepts in our own plants, from envelopes to energy systems, so every building we ship is more efficient than the last.
Partnership & delivery.
How does Herauf work with Indigenous communities?
Herauf partners directly with First Nations and Métis communities, and with CMHC and government agencies where applicable, to deliver modular homes built to high quality and durability standards. Our approach is partnership-led and grounded in ongoing learning about colonial history and decolonization.
Can Herauf deliver housing to remote First Nations communities?
Yes. Because homes are built complete in controlled facilities, Herauf can serve remote and fly-in communities, including St. Theresa Point First Nation in northern Manitoba, where homes were delivered roughly 1,300 km north across a seasonal winter ice road.
How fast can homes be installed in a community?
Modules are built in advance while site work proceeds in parallel, so on-site installation is rapid. At the Buffalo Lake Métis Settlement, 20 homes turned an empty plot into a lived-in community within days.
Does Herauf have references from Indigenous partners?
Yes. Signed reference letters from Zagime Anishinabek and St. Theresa Point are available to view on this page.
