DIRTT partners work with you and your construction team, ensuring effective management and execution of the DIRTT scope on every project. Long term, they support with reconfigurations, adaptations, and adjustments, continuously protecting your investment in DIRTT while helping to keep your space relevant for years to come.
Adaptable and Sustainable Products
From the beginning, sustainability has been a core pillar at DIRTT. Our ever-expanding array of products and integrations give our clients the tools to create high-performing interiors that stay relevant into the future. The core of our product philosophy is a construction system that uses a universal interface. By allowing interchangeable parts, DIRTT can maximize the life cycle for most of our products. Committed to sustainability, we subscribe to non-obsolescence. That means new DIRTT components work with everything that came before. Everything can be disassembled and reconfigured with minimal waste.
Our construction system is client driven, delivering unique solutions to help you evolve. Our Product Development team works to continuously enhance our customization options. That innovation is embodied in 253 unique patents and tested over thousands of projects. Our team of industrial designers, engineers, and inventors ensure the DIRTT system continues to provide design freedom as trends evolve and needs change.

DIRTT leverages lean principles at our manufacturing facilities across North America. This allows us to build spaces for our clients while establishing a safer work environment, increasing the quality of our products, and creating more efficient facilities. Our culture of continuous improvement empowers our people to share ideas to uphold quality.
DIRTT is dedicated to continuous performance improvement. We take a metrics-driven approach to quality control. Employees are validated for efforts to improve.

Technical Leadership
Ice Edge® is the technology division of DIRTT. It creates advanced digital tools for businesses, including a first-of-its-kind software called ICE®. This technology serves as the engine for our industrialized construction system. The visual software allows configuration and pricing with direct connection to manufacturing equipment. Our clients’ design visions are translated into the intelligent software platform, empowering faster decision making during design, precise manufacturing, and coordination of the DIRTT scope.
Driving next-level collaboration and increased accessibility, our technology team is continuously evolving and enhancing ICE software to give our clients an exceptional construction experience. In connection to the core ICE platform, the cloud-based virtual reality tool and app, called ICEreality, was an unprecedented technology for the construction industry when it was originally released. It connects teams from anywhere in the world to walk through their virtual space together, while design changes can be made with real-time feedback on pricing.
In addition to supporting DIRTT, Ice Edge serves 60+ clients globally with over 4,000 active software licenses.
