Evolution Structures

What Evolution Structures does

Evolution Structures (Évolution Structures) is a Quebec-based manufacturer of prefabricated wood structural components for the residential, commercial, agricultural, and industrial construction sectors. Founded in 1987 and headquartered in Boisbriand, the company designs and factory-produces roof trusses, open-web floor joists, prefabricated wall panels, and Nascor engineered I-joists using kiln-dried Canadian lumber (spruce, MSR, or clad) compliant with CSA 086 standards and the National Building Code of Canada. Each project carries qualified engineer certification and is delivered with detailed assembly plans, addressing builder pain points around weather delays, on-site quality variability, installation time, and material waste.

The business operates from four manufacturing facilities across Quebec — Saint-André-Avellin (Outaouais), Boisbriand (Rive-Nord), and Sainte-Brigide-d'Iberville and Farnham (Rive-Sud) — collectively providing nearly 100,000 sq ft of factory floor space and over 1 million sq ft of outdoor storage. Revenue is generated through quote-based, project-priced sales of custom-manufactured structural components, complemented by a building materials distribution line (lumber, roofing, siding, insulation, engineered wood) and on-site delivery via company-owned trucks. The company employs 200+ staff and has completed over 30,000 projects since inception across Quebec and Ontario.

The go-to-market model is sales-led and direct: Sales Directors André Dufour and Robert Chartier manage customer relationships and provide cost evaluations, supported by a toll-free line, direct email, and contact forms. The customer base spans single-family and multi-residential builders, commercial and multi-storey (up to 6-storey) developers, agricultural builders, and industrial contractors. Leadership is held by President Geneviève Gagnon and General Director Robert Rozon, alongside two Sales Directors and a Controller. The company is privately held, with no disclosed parent company, external investors, or public listing.

Products and services

• Roof Trusses Custom-designed and manufactured wooden roof trusses built from high-quality kiln-dried Canadian lumber (spruce, MSR, or clad wood), engineered to industry standards and approved by the engineering department before production. Available in multiple models including Mono, Flat (Mistress), Cathedral, End, and Standard configurations for residential, commercial, agricultural, and industrial buildings.
• Floor Beams and Joists Open-web wood floor beams designed and manufactured to specific project needs and architectural features, offered as a cost-effective alternative to steel beams and columns. Products allow easy installation of subfloor, plumbing, and electrical systems with reduced on-site installation time.
• Prefabricated Walls Ready-to-assemble prefabricated wall panels manufactured in factory under weather-protected conditions using MSR wood meeting CSA 086 standards. Adaptable to single-family homes, apartment buildings, or high-rise towers, with consistent quality and faster on-site assembly.
• I-Joists Nascor engineered I-joists offering strength, reliability, solid and sound-insulated floors, greater span capacity, and improved performance compared to traditional solid-wood joists.
• Building Materials Complementary construction materials including lumber, CRC and Owens Corning roofing shingles, waterproofing, Maibec and Goodfellow exterior wood siding, hardware, plywood and OSB panels, fiberglass, rock wool and polystyrene insulation, as well as LVL, LSL, and Nordic Lam engineered wood columns.
• Assembly Plans Clear and detailed assembly plans delivered with each order, designed with enhanced precision to facilitate building-structure installation. Plans are error-free and easy to understand, supporting efficient on-site assembly.
• Engineer Certification Qualified engineer certification for all projects, including thorough quality check of plans taking into account specific constraints and requirements. Work complies with CSA 086 standards and the National Building Code of Canada.
• Delivery Services On-site delivery of wall, roof, and floor structures with the detailed assembly plan, scheduled according to customer availability at competitive prices. Company-owned trucks and specialized tools enable efficient and non-damaging transportation.

Broad incumbents

• Boise Cascade: Major North American manufacturer of engineered wood products (I-joists, LVL) and a national prefabricated component network. Comparable as a direct competitor in the same engineered-wood component category, with broader geographic reach and scale advantages.
• LP Building Solutions: Manufacturer of engineered wood products, OSB, siding, and structural components across North America. Comparable in the engineered-wood input category that Evolution Structures consumes and the broader prefabrication/structural-components space.
• Weyerhaeuser: Diversified timber and engineered wood products company producing I-joists, LVL, and other structural wood components. Comparable at the product-material level on engineered framing components and at the customer level serving large builders.
• MiTek Industries: A Berkshire Hathaway-owned dominant supplier of truss engineering software, connector plates, and machinery used by virtually every prefabricated wood component shop in North America. Comparable because MiTek enables — and therefore is structurally tied to — the same fabricator customer base that Evolution Structures serves.

Direct peers

• Nascor: Canadian manufacturer of engineered I-joists and structural wood products that Evolution Structures currently distributes. A direct peer on engineered wood floor components and a potential forward integration step if Nascor expanded into prefab wall or truss manufacturing.
• Nordic Structures: Canadian manufacturer of engineered wood products (LVL, glulam columns) and mass timber building components, explicitly referenced in Evolution Structures' own product offering through Nordic Lam columns. Directly comparable on the engineered wood input side and on Canadian builder customers.
• All-Fab: North American prefabricated building components manufacturer producing roof trusses, floor trusses, and wall panels. Directly comparable on product line, customer type (residential and light commercial builders), and go-to-market model (factory-prefabricated, delivered to site).
• International Wood Industries: Canadian structural wood products manufacturer supplying trusses, engineered wood, and prefabricated components. Directly comparable on product mix, Canadian builder customer base, and integrated design-manufacture-deliver model.

Regional players

• Atlantic Building Components: U.S. East Coast prefab roof truss and floor component manufacturer with similar product breadth and direct-to-builder delivery model. Comparable as a regional prefab operator in a different geographic footprint, signaling both a peer template and a potential expansion path.

Emerging players

• Enercept: Manufacturer of structural insulated panels (SIPs) and prefabricated building components for residential and light commercial construction. Comparable as a prefab-factory alternative to conventional trusses/framing, with overlapping builder customers seeking weather-tight, factory-built envelopes.
