Housing that keeps your crew on-site
The Kootenays runs on resource industries — mining at Trail and in the Elk Valley, forestry throughout the West Kootenay, and a construction sector building out resort communities and regional infrastructure. These industries share a common challenge: getting qualified workers to the job and keeping them there, in a region where accommodation options are limited and commute distances can be punishing.
NED Living modular units are the practical answer. Factory-built, CSA A277-certified, and delivered ready to occupy, they can be positioned on a prepared site pad near your operation — whether that's a mine portal in Trail, a cutblock in the Slocan, or a construction camp outside Fernie. When the work is done, the units can be relocated or sold.
Our Kootenays team has the regional knowledge and supplier relationships to manage delivery and site setup across the region's mountain roads and remote access points. Reach out with your location and crew numbers — we'll put together a housing plan that fits your timeline and budget.
Industries we serve in the Kootenays
Mining — Trail and Teck Operations
Teck Resources' Trail Operations — the world's largest zinc and lead smelter — employs thousands and draws contractors from across BC and Alberta. On-site accommodation close to the plant reduces travel time and keeps crews rested and productive. NED Living units are engineered for the industrial proximity demands and year-round Kootenays weather.
Forestry and mill operations
Castlegar's Mercer Celgar pulp mill and forestry operations throughout the West Kootenay require consistent crew housing near remote cutblocks and processing facilities. Our modular units can be clustered on a prepared pad to create a small camp or positioned individually near operating areas.
Large construction projects
Highway upgrades, resort expansion in Fernie and Kimberley, and infrastructure projects across the Kootenays regularly require housing for crews who can't commute daily. NED Living units are fast to deploy and easy to relocate when the project moves on.
Elk Valley coal and resource projects
The Elk Valley east of Fernie supports significant steelmaking coal operations. Workforce housing near active mine sites reduces safety risks from long daily commutes and supports retention of skilled tradespeople in remote postings.
