What ANC does

ANC Group (operating as Andrew Neill Construction Inc.) is a vertically integrated modular construction and industrial steel fabrication company headquartered in Brantford, Ontario. Founded in 2017 by Andrew Neill, the company designs, engineers, fabricates, and installs 3D-volumetric steel-frame modular units in a 134,000 sq ft manufacturing facility, with an additional 180,000 sq ft headquarters and 300,000+ sq ft of warehousing through its subsidiary ANC Logistics. Its core technology is a globally patented modular volumetric concrete void form system in which 3D steel modules serve as permanent concrete formwork, enabling formwork-free construction of high-rise concrete superstructures and reducing formwork/stripping/curing time by an estimated 98%. The product portfolio is structured into low-rise modular (1–8 storeys), high-rise modular (patented, unlimited height), construction management/general contracting, industrial steel fabrication, and a global licensing/franchising program for the high-rise system.

The business generates revenue through project-based contracts with government agencies, municipalities, housing authorities, healthcare and education institutions, and large general contractors across North America. Notable customers include the Government of Canada, City of Brantford, Ontario Power Generation, Navigation Canada, Infrastructure Ontario, Six Nations Housing Authority, Ellis Don, Bird, and Buttcon. CSA A277, CWB, and RVIA certifications position ANC for pre-permit fabrication and participation in Canada's Rapid Housing Initiative, while the licensing program targets international expansion (including the UK). Operations are run by a leadership team including the founder/CEO, a COO with three decades of manufacturing experience, and dedicated design, QA/QC, and estimating functions.

Core offering

ANC designs, fabricates, and installs 3D-volumetric steel-frame modular buildings for low-rise (1-8 storeys) and high-rise (unlimited height) applications, using a globally patented system in which the steel modules serve as permanent concrete formwork to eliminate conventional formwork. The company also delivers construction management and general contracting services, industrial steel fabrication, and global licensing of its patented high-rise modular technology from its Brantford, Ontario manufacturing facility.

Product overview

ANC (Andrew Neill Construction Inc.) operates as a vertically integrated modular construction company offering a portfolio of interconnected products and services. The core offering is Modular Construction using 3D-volumetric steel frame modules manufactured in their 134,000 sq ft Brantford facility.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• EllisDon: EllisDon is a major Canadian construction services company and a named partner of ANC. Comparable as both a collaborator and competitive incumbent on large-scale commercial, institutional, and residential projects where ANC is currently a subcontractor or co-delivery partner.
• Algeco: Algeco is a global modular space and portable building provider serving construction, commercial, and government customers across Europe and beyond. Comparable to ANC on modular building products and customer segments, but at much larger scale and with established international licensing/franchising infrastructure ANC is just beginning to build.
• PCL Constructors: PCL is one of Canada's largest general contractors executing commercial, institutional, civil, and modular construction across North America. Comparable to ANC as a Canadian construction incumbent with modular capability and broader ICI footprint, but operates as a full-service general contractor rather than a specialist modular manufacturer.

Direct peers

• ATCO Structures & Logistics: ATCO is one of Canada's largest modular building providers serving workforce accommodation, commercial, and government customers across North America and globally. Directly comparable to ANC in product offering (modular buildings, workforce housing) and target customer segments (government, Indigenous communities, industrial), but operates at significantly larger scale and balance sheet.
• Triumph Modular: Triumph Modular is a North American modular building provider specializing in temporary and permanent modular buildings for education, healthcare, government, and commercial customers. Comparable to ANC in serving institutional/government clients with modular solutions, though ANC's patented high-rise system differentiates on technology.
• NRB Modular Solutions: NRB designs and manufactures modular buildings for commercial, institutional, and industrial applications across Canada with its own factory-built construction certification. Overlaps directly with ANC on modular construction process, CSA-style certification, and Canadian government/institutional customer base.
• Stack Modular: Stack Modular is a Canadian volumetric modular manufacturer focused on multi-storey residential, hotel, and student housing projects using steel-frame modules produced off-site. Closely comparable to ANC's modular product line and customer base in affordable and multi-family housing.
• Kullman Industries: Kullman is a US modular construction firm specializing in commercial modular buildings for government, healthcare, and education sectors. Overlaps with ANC on permanent modular construction, custom factory-built solutions, and emphasis on accelerated schedules versus conventional construction.
• BECC Modular: BECC is a Canadian modular building manufacturer serving commercial, industrial, and institutional customers with both permanent and relocatable modular solutions. Comparable to ANC in target segments, Canadian footprint, and emphasis on CSA-certified factory-built construction.
