Our Philosophy.
At Happipad, we are re-imagining what affordable housing is. We believe that a home is more than just a shelter – it’s a sanctuary where one should feel happy, safe, and be able to plant roots and stay for a long while or just a few months, depending what life brings your way.
Our mission is to help build community while combatting affordability, creating comfortable spaces where you can feel like you belong. We do this by creating intentional shared homes that strike the perfect harmony of affordability, comfort, and privacy. We believe in fostering human connection among like-minded people, allowing you to build life-long friendships. Sharing a home not only helps save money and the environment, it allows for sharing meals, carpooling, sharing stories, movies, and even our ultra-high speed internet!
Welcome to a place where real connections and a happier, more sustainable life await you.
Our Process.
Our homes are crafted using cutting-edge technology and non-combustible, lightweight steel framing. With precision construction guided by 3D computer-controlled processes, our homes are designed to last over 100 years. The modular components are not only robust and lightweight but also relocatable, ensuring flexibility for the future.
We employ a modular building method that allows for rapid on-site assembly and future relocation of buildings. Save tremendous time and labour challenges with our reliable process.
Our factory, situated in the beautiful Okanagan Valley in British Columbia, enables us to transport our modules anywhere in Western Canada. We are able to handle your complete building development from site plan through permiting and on-site construction.
Factory built modules are CSA- A277 cerified, ensuring full compliance to the National Building Code (NBC).

FAQs
Where will Happipad homes be built?

When will homes be available?
We are not accepting orders and land offers to start housing projects summer 2024.
What is the targeted price of rent for the buildings?
Rent prices are intended to be affordable. We have a price target similar to studio apartments with a goal to be 20% less than market rent. Renters will also save money by sharing resources such as utilities, internet, carpooling and car share options.
What is a co-living building?
A co-living building is a large home that contains private bedroom units with shared communal spaces such as kitchens and living rooms. This design allows for lower building and operational costs, allowing renters to save money, while also creating fun home atmospheres that connect like-minded people.
Happipad is a Canadian social enterprise dedicated to addressing Canada’s affordable housing crisis. Happipad connects hosts with compatible renters for home sharing. It offers a safe, reliable and intuitive platform for hosts to rent out their spare rooms and for renters to find affordable housing solutions.
Who manufactures the housing modules?
Happipad works with CSA-certified and vetted modular construction companies across Canada to construct the modules to our design specifications. This allows us to deliver modules to most regions of Canada. Homes are built to a high energy efficiency for low utility costs and environmental impact. Homes are built for long life using light gauge steel framing when possible, double walls for sound isolation, and durable low-maintenance finishings.
Monthly rent will vary by community (land cost). Rent will include utilities and basic furnishings. Estimated monthly rent for small bedroom units is estimated to start at $950 and $1300 for large bedrooms.
How are the homes managed?
Happipad offers a management solution for co-living homes to collects rent, and support renter onboarding and conflicts.
What is it like living in a co-living home?
Each home is designed for the optimal blend between giving each person their own private space and adequate shared spaces. Renters will experience greater space and amenities compared to a studio apartment while saving on rent. Each home has a live-in household manager to schedule regular social events, game nights, and group dinners; all while ensuring the home is kept clean and in order. Some may say it’s like living in a big family home where your friends always get to stay over.
