But we mainly serve the industrial sector and yes, we are noticing an increase. So yeah, you're seeing residential and retail is very popular, and it's, it's obviously more visible than the industrial sector.
Based on your experience a Corner Cast, why do you think containers have become so popular in the industrial building sector? We get a lot of them in our Awards of Distinction entries every year. And I've seen a variety of really creative homes and retail spaces. So, container buildings have been gaining a lot of momentum over the past several years. So long story short, I was hired as a project manager there and I was put in charge of the 63-container workers accommodation built in northern Nunavut.
And that actually interested in even more. So that that was interesting, but then he also told me that that that company or building was actually looking for hire people. He said he couldn't tell he was in a container. Although he has been working in logistics all his life. And when a friend of mine who works in logistics, he told me he was looking for an apartment and he visited a new building that was built out of containers. Well, my first introduction must have been 10 years later, after my internship there I had moved to Canada, after finishing my master's in Holland, and after working as a production engineer in for the same Italian company in Montreal, I was actually looking for a new challenge. Um, when did you first become aware of the possibility of using shipping containers to create buildings? Were you excited about that at the start? Or did you kind of have to warm up to that idea? And we've had an earlier conversation you said you went to school in Holland, is that right? And to be honest, my main motivation was to go to live in Italy, the combination of the combination of the off site manufacturing and the on site, installation really, really grabbed me.Īwesome. And then when it was time to do my internship, I found the possibility to go to Italy and work at the HUD headquarters are one of the world's largest preset facade designer and manufacturer.
And I believe there was an assignment for a multi-story, parking garage with prefab concrete elements. Well, the first time I was introduced to the concept of offset construction must have been at the University. How did you get your start in the industry and what led to you going into modular and offsite construction?
Rene is going to talk about the ins and outs of container-based buildings and their potential for industrial use. Today I'm talking with Rene Bernaert owner and Chief Operating Officer at Corner Cast Construction. And I'm the Marketing Director here at MBI.
