Canada’s New Housing Design Catalogue is Live — Here’s How Summit Design Build Helps Bring It to Life in Manitoba
Canada’s housing shortage has been front and center across the country, and CMHC’s new Housing Design Catalogue aims to speed up the creation of high-quality, energy-efficient homes. Now that the catalogue is officially live, Summit Design Build is ready to help turn these designs into buildable, code-compliant projects right here in Manitoba.
What Is the CMHC Housing Design Catalogue?
The new national Housing Design Catalogue, developed through CMHC and leading Canadian architects, provides ready-made residential designs for builders, municipalities, and developers. Each plan includes architectural, structural, and energy-efficiency documentation, helping communities fast-track housing construction without starting from scratch.

The federal launch is making headlines: CMHC has officially unveiled the Housing Design Catalogue, a library of over 100 pre-approved, energy-efficient housing plans aimed at accelerating construction across Canada. The catalogue includes designs for single-family, semi-detached, and multi-unit homes that can be customized for local needs.

Why It Matters for Manitoba Builders
While the catalogue is a powerful national resource, each region still has unique zoning bylaws, climate conditions, and building code requirements. That’s where Summit Design Build comes in. Our team understands Manitoba’s permitting process, energy codes, and local materials — making it possible to adapt these national designs for real-world use here at home.
