// LESSONS FROM Watermark Partners Inc.
A confidential peer group of fellow family-business operators works like a mini board of directors for problems you can't air inside the company.
Modular construction sidesteps the trades shortage: the units arrive factory-built, so the builder's own scarce trades are barely needed on site.
Modular delivery compressed Cresco's schedule to roughly a third of a conventional build.
Sub-2,000 sq ft modular rental townhomes fill the 'missing middle' between apartments and detached homes — and the Halifax market absorbed them fast.
Treat subcontractors as long-term partners; a loyal trade base (200-250 trades on ~6 direct staff) is the developer's real capacity.
Iterate the modular design between phases: moving hot water tanks, HRVs and electrical panels into each unit slashed basement plumbing and wiring.
