Mass timber and prefabricated building solutions from sustainable Canadian operations
Kalesnikoff manufactures mass timber, modular prefabrication, and specialty lumber from British Columbia for multi-story housing and commercial construction across North America. The tech stack reflects a manufacturing-operations hybrid: ERP (Epicor), BIM tools (Revit, Navisworks, Bluebeam), and design software (Rhino) sit alongside BI and data governance initiatives. Active projects around a new modular facility and data migrations, paired with pain points in system integration and clash detection, signal a company scaling production while modernizing backend systems to keep pace with design complexity.
Kalesnikoff is a fourth-generation, privately held timber manufacturer based in Castlegar, British Columbia, operating since 1939. The company designs and produces mass timber (including cross-laminated and glue-laminated products) and modular prefabricated timber assemblies, alongside traditional specialty lumber. Their customer base spans architects, developers, and general contractors building multi-story residential, commercial, institutional, and workforce housing projects across Western Canada and the Western U.S. All manufacturing occurs locally near Castlegar. The organization employs approximately 375 people and maintains direct sales channels segmented by product line (mass timber, lumber, modular solutions).
Kalesnikoff uses Revit, Navisworks, and Bluebeam for BIM and construction coordination, alongside Rhino for architectural design. They also deploy Epicor ERP for production planning and Power BI for reporting.
Key projects include launching a new North America mass timber modular facility, scaling modular production, and modernizing backend systems through data migrations and financial system improvements to address integration and reporting gaps.
