About Horizon Legacy
For the past 70+ years, Horizon Legacy Group has been creating large scale infrastructure projects. Over the past 15 years, we’ve been developing renewable energy projects in wind, waterpower and solar spanning across Canada and the US.
Construction is an industry that’s made relatively little progress in how it organizes its business, still using century-old technologies and processes. We believe digital capabilities present opportunities to make qualitative leaps for the industry. There have been piecemeal efforts made, but no significant revolution in overall project scale practice.
Horizon is currently building the first and largest 3D printed neighbourhood in Canada, using on-site robotics and automation in construction.
Horizon is also creating a new Construction Automation Lab in the heart of Toronto, Canada. The lab will serve as a hub for cutting-edge research and development in the field of construction automation, revolutionizing the industry and solving the problem of labour shortages currently experienced in Canada and globally.
