Fast Track

BIMstudio takes a product-first approach to high-rise residential design, aligning architecture with prefabrication to address the housing shortage efficiently.

Our unique market approach, in partnership with Stubbe’s Precast, ensures constructability is optimized from the start—delivering smarter, faster, and more cost-effective high-rise developments to meet growing housing demands.

Grid Variety
By using the grid bay layout, we can develop a full grid system that can be shaped to have different potential forms.
Site
The grid system is established depending on the layout of the site. The grid will act as the foundation to the development of the project to portray the overall building footprint.
Wall Structure
The shear walls are developed using the grid system as a guideline to create the overall form of the building.

These structural walls will act as the boundaries to implement our module systems in between to develop the layout.

Pre-Designed Systems
Our Module Library consists of numerous variations of pre-designed unit types, service modules, stair modules, and elevator modules that complete the building.

These modules include integrated design and are standardized components that can be re-used for any project.

All of our unique module systems work together efficiently within the grid system resulting in a countless amount of combinations expressing variation.

Modular Library is our primary tool for Fast Track to provide versatile and efficient design

Our Modular Library is a design method for streamlining development, utilizing precast concrete to create scalable, high-quality housing solutions. 

Pre-designed Systems

A catalogue full of pre-designed and coordinated module varieties that make the overall building.

Accelerated Process

All modules work in coordination with consolidated consultants and pre-fabrication methods to produce products quickly.

Design Flexibility

Modules provide numerous combinations with a variety of interior layouts, exterior elevations, and building shape.

Fast Track Principle

Our priority is to consolidate the requirements of Municipalities, Developers, and Producers to ensure quick and efficient development. Through an integrated BIM process, we have developed a design system that is optimized to comply to the needs and regulations of different disciplines.

 

With the implementation of manufacturer products, programming, and different by-laws, we are able to create integrated pre-designed modules to accelerate development and construction resulting in the development of Fast Track.

Fast Track Development Process
Parking Layout
Throughout the many jurisdictions in the GTA, we use the largest parking dimension requirement allowing us to comply with many parking by-laws.

Constraints
Hollow Core
By exploring standard hollow core spans in correlation to parking, the dimension of 4 parking spots with a 7m drive aisle results in a 10" Hollow Core with a max span of 38'.

Grid System
The parking layout forms a standardized grid bay which acts as a foundation to the design process of Fast Track projects.

Grid Variety
By using the grid bay layout, we can develop a full grid system that can outline different forms.
Site
The grid system is established depending on the layout of the site. The grid will act as the foundation to the development of the project to portray the overall building footprint.
Wall Structure
The shear walls are developed following the grid system to create the form of the building.

These structural walls act as the shell to implement our module systems to develop the layout.
