Fab Structures We build homes that change the way you live. Durable, low maintenance, quiet, sustainable and health

MCH Group Inc, previously known as Maisons Chicoine Homes, incorporated in 2012. The company was started by two self-made brothers, Jake and Ben, who started working in the construction industry at the age of 16 and taught themselves building science and the importance of building for a purpose. MCH was born out of a determination and passion to build energy efficient structures for generations to

come and high quality craftsmanship. Their sister Karina, joined them in 2015 as financial manager. MCH is now a well-established design-build firm located in the heart of the Gatineau Hills in Eastern Canada, in the province of Quebec. The company is composed of highly skilled carpenters, designers, and innovative thinkers. MCH has partnered with leading architects such as Douglas Cardinal from Canada, Bjarke Ingels Group from Denmark and more.

“We have always believed in exploring different and better ways of doing things, and MCH was born out of this desire to drastically improve the way buildings are built.”

From our facilities to construction sites, our vision guides every decision we make along the way. We set a new standard and believe in building techniques that make our projects as worry-free as possible.

We are driven by a passion for building smarter, more efficiently, and with lasting impact.

We had the pleasure of welcoming representatives from NRCan and National Defence Canada to our Ripon facility for a day of discussions, collaboration, and a full tour of our operations.

NRCan is focused on advancing better building practices in Canada through research, testing, and guidance. They reached out after learning about our building systems and wanted to better understand market realities, including trends and cost considerations, to ensure their recommendations remain practical and applicable.
National Defence Canada joined the visit to explore housing solutions for remote locations and defence projects, with a focus on modular systems, durability, and performance in extreme climates.

In the afternoon, we also met with NRC (National Research Council Canada) to discuss a potential research project aimed at advancing our prefabricated bio-based construction system, including work on connection details between load-bearing and curtain wall systems with mass timber components.

A productive exchange focused on advancing better building solutions in Canada.
Stay tuned for more announcements to come!

NEW PROJECT
We are proud to be part of the Bassin Louise project, which will host one of the largest floating saunas in the world, in the heart of Old Québec.

In collaboration with APPAREIL architecture, this 3,500-square-foot project is set to open in the fall of 2026. This major development aims to revitalize tourism through an innovative, inclusive, and sustainable wellness offering that highlights the site while creating a unique experience for visitors.

Our team is already hard at work bringing this project to life through an approach that allows a large portion of the components to be prefabricated in our facilities, making on-site implementation easier and faster, while reducing timelines and the risk of unforeseen issues.

NOUVEAU PROJET
Nous sommes fiers de participer au projet du Bassin Louise, qui accueillera l’un des plus grands saunas flottants au monde, en plein cœur du Vieux-Québec.

En collaboration avec Appareil Architecture, ce projet de 3 500 pieds carrés verra le jour à l’automne 2026. Ce projet d’envergure a pour mission de revitaliser le tourisme grâce à une offre bien-être innovante, rassembleuse et durable, qui met en valeur le site tout en créant une expérience unique pour les visiteurs.

Notre équipe est déjà au travail afin de faire naître ce projet à travers une approche qui permet de préfabriquer une grande partie des éléments dans nos installations, ce qui facilite et accélère la mise en œuvre sur site, tout en réduisant les délais et les risques d’imprévus.

By choosing the right mix of materials like warm wood, natural stone, and soft greenery, you can create a seamless transition between indoors and out.
It’s all about balance: textures that complement each other, tones that flow, and elements that invite you to slow down and stay a while.

Because the best outdoor spaces don’t just look good. They feel effortless.

En choisissant le bon mélange de matériaux, comme le bois, la pierre naturelle et une végétation naturelle, vous pouvez créer une transition harmonieuse entre l’intérieur et l’extérieur.
Tout est une question d’équilibre: des textures qui se complètent, des teintes qui s’entrecroisent naturellement et des éléments qui invitent à ralentir et à profiter du moment.

Parce que les plus beaux espaces extérieurs ne sont pas seulement esthétiques. Ils se vivent avec simplicité.

A well-designed home starts with what you don’t see.
Investing in the structure and airtightness from the very beginning means greater durability, improved energy efficiency, and long-term comfort. It’s about building smarter today to avoid compromises tomorrow.
Because a well-built envelope doesn’t just protect your home, it defines how it performs for years to come.

Une maison bien conçue commence par ce que l’on ne voit pas.
Investir dès le départ dans la structure et l’étanchéité à l’air permet d’assurer une meilleure durabilité, une plus grande efficacité énergétique et un confort à long terme. Il s’agit de construire plus intelligemment aujourd’hui pour éviter les compromis de demain.
Parce qu’une enveloppe bien conçue ne se contente pas de protéger la maison, elle en assure la qualité et la longévité au fil des années.

A smart build, brought to life by a vision.

Klimat is a 6,000 square foot climbing and fitness gym located in Wakefield, QC.
For this project, we built the energy efficient envelope including cross laminated timber (CLT) and the timber frame. The space took just 2 weeks to put up and the building consumes very little energy.

“In the winter we pretty much just use the heated slab for the whole building and don’t even use the heaters up top “ says owner Sam Cloutier.

Une construction réfléchie, portée par une vision.

Klimat est un centre d’escalade et de conditionnement physique de 6 000 pieds carrés situé à Wakefield, QC.
Pour ce projet, nous avons réalisé l’enveloppe écoénergétique du bâtiment, incluant le bois lamellé-croisé (CLT) et la charpente en bois. L'espace n'a pris que 2 semaines à monter et le bâtiment consomme très peu d'énergie.

« En hiver, nous n'utilisons pratiquement que la dalle chauffante pour l'ensemble du bâtiment et nous n'utilisons même pas les radiateurs du haut » explique le propriétaire Sam Cloutier.

Meet Ben Chicoine, co-founder and CEO of Fab Structures.

For Ben, many things make a project truly special.
From the team to the relationships with clients and collaborators, to the final results and the feeling of having accomplished something that stands out. But the importance of longevity, building things that will last a lifetime, is at the heart of his approach.

"Every day is a challenge to strike the right balance between budget, quality, durability, biophilia, and design. That balance is what ultimately defines meaningful, lasting construction Thats what drives me on the day to day."

Faites la connaissance de Ben Chicoine, cofondateur et PDG de Fab Structures.

Pour Ben, de nombreux éléments rendent un projet véritablement spécial. De l’équipe aux relations avec les clients et les collaborateurs, jusqu’au résultat final et au sentiment d’avoir accompli quelque chose qui se démarque. Mais l’importance de la longévité, de construire des choses qui dureront toute une vie, est au cœur de son approche.

« Chaque jour est un défi pour trouver le bon équilibre entre budget, qualité, durabilité, biophilie et design. Cet équilibre est ce qui définit ultimement une construction porteuse de sens et durable. C’est ce qui me motive au quotidien. »
