Pocket House designs and builds commercial modular buildings in Alberta, BC and the Yukon for businesses, municipalities and organizations that need permanent, purpose-built space without a long on-site build. A commercial modular building is constructed off-site in sections, then hauled to your property and set on a prepared foundation, so the structure is being built while your site work is underway.
From a staffed attendant building at a municipal eco-station to a two-storey spa and cafe in Dawson City, Pocket House handles the design, construction, transport and setup with its own family-run team. We are listed to build Group D commercial structures, the building code class for business and personal service spaces such as offices, clinics and spas.
Every commercial project is designed around how the building will be used, who will be inside it and what the site can support. These are the commercial modular buildings we build most often.
Permanent offices, admin buildings and sales centres for businesses that need workspace on their own property, finished with the same windows, siding and insulation as our residential builds.
Staffed buildings for public and industrial sites, like the attendant building we built for the Leduc Eco-Station, with service counters, washrooms and durable exteriors made for daily traffic.
Sleeping quarters and staff accommodation for operations outside town. For smaller needs such as a single bunkhouse or backyard office, see our accessory buildings.
Retail shops, spas, treatment rooms, cafes and guest buildings with finished interiors, like the Yukon Spa we built in Dawson City with massage rooms, a steam room and a rooftop hot tub garden.
Commercial clients deal with one company for the whole project. Pocket House does not sub out the work, so the people who design your building are the same people who build it, haul it and set it up.
Layouts and drawings are prepared in house, led by Brandy Harris, our COO and Architectural Technologist, around your use, occupancy and site.
Our own carpenters frame, insulate, finish and fit out each module, using the same building envelope standards that go into our modular homes.
We own our semis and pilot trucks and haul our own wide loads across Western Canada, then place and connect the building on your site. Transport is offered only for buildings we build.
Our commercial work includes the attendant building at the Leduc Eco-Station south of Edmonton and the Yukon Spa in Dawson City, along with commercial projects near Sunset Shores in Alberta and in Kaslo, BC. The Yukon Spa shows how far our team delivers, the same northern reach behind our Yukon park models.
Pocket House builds commercial modular buildings for offices, site and attendant buildings, staff housing, retail space, and hospitality and wellness spaces such as spas and cafes. Each building is designed for its use, so a staffed eco-station building and a guest-facing spa end up with very different layouts and finishes.
Yes. Pocket House is listed to build Group D commercial structures, which covers business and personal service buildings such as offices, clinics and spas. Depending on the building and where it is going, a project may also need engineering and local permits, and we work through those requirements with you.
Yes. We transport our own buildings with our own semis and pilot trucks and haul wide loads across Western Canada, including the Yukon Spa in Dawson City. Site access, road restrictions and the season all affect delivery, so we review the route as part of planning.
Design is done in house, led by our Architectural Technologist, so you do not need to hire a separate designer to get started. If your project needs stamped engineering for its use or location, we coordinate that as part of the build.
No. Because of liability and insurance requirements, Pocket House only transports and sets up buildings that we build ourselves.
It helps to know what the building will be used for, roughly how many people will use it, where it is going, how the site is accessed, and what power, water and sewer servicing is available. If you have not settled on a site yet, reach out anyway and we can talk through what to look for.
