When Bill and Margie Gartland of Wolfe Island, Ontario, were on the lookout for the perfect solution to build a four-season cottage on their idyllic property, they found themselves exploring numerous options. It was during this process that their general contractor introduced them to Lodestar Structures, a company known for its innovative approach to concrete modular building systems. Intrigued, the Gartlands began to delve deeper into the benefits of the Lodestar modular building system, which quickly captured their interest for several compelling reasons.
One of the primary factors that swayed their decision was the remarkable speed with which they could complete their new cottage. In an era where time is often of the essence, the prospect of having a fully functional cottage ready in a fraction of the time compared to traditional building methods was incredibly appealing. Furthermore, the cost efficiency associated with the Lodestar modular building system promised to keep their project within budget without sacrificing quality.
In addition to speed and cost, the Gartlands were also drawn to the environmental sustainability and durability that the Lodestar modular building system offers. Constructed using concrete, which is known for its long-lasting properties, the structure would not only stand the test of time but also minimize environmental impact—an essential consideration for the couple.
Transporting Lodestar modules is a breeze, further enhancing their appeal. On a crisp November morning, the Gartlands experienced this firsthand as their modular Lodestar cottage was carefully transported to their site on Wolfe Island. The modules were loaded onto a truck and conveyed via the Wolfe Island ferry. The sight of the truck carrying the unique Lodestar modules captured the attention and curiosity of ferry passengers, who were surely amazed by the impressive scale of the transportation process and the innovative nature of modular construction.
In terms of installation, Lodestar’s promise of efficiency was realized when the cottage modules arrived on-site. The installation process, which involved lifting the two Lodestar modules into place by crane, was executed flawlessly and completed in less than four hours. This rapid assembly showcased not only the efficiency of the Lodestar system but also the expertise of the team executing the project, reinforcing the Gartlands’ decision.
