The Construction Source

Shane has a background in commercial construction, while Tyler’s history is more in real estate and residential. Tyler started his own business, called Cobra Construction, in 2009. Roughly six years later, Shane joined him, at a time when the company comprised of only two employees and they were mostly doing smaller commercial jobs. Since then, the family business has grown exponentially, in terms of both size and scope of work. They are now Cobra Enterprises, a national company including four divisions: Cobra Construction, Cobra Structures, Cobra Mechanical, and Bison Container Homes. Their building solutions include everything from a 24’ x 30’ structure, to a 767 airplane hangar, to a 13-container gym and day care. With BCH, specifically, their product line includes ‘residential homes’ for community development; ‘accommodation homes’ suited for temporary living, group homes, and overnight stays; and ‘recreational buildings’ capable of handling any community function. Clients choose BCH for a variety of reasons and applications, according to Shane. Those reasons include their building quality and durability, their affordable prices, their ease of transportation and install, and their minimal environmental impact. In the northern communities the company is often working in, ‘quality and durability’ is especially important. That’s why, from the very inception of the company, Tyler and Shane chose to work with steel containers over other modular solutions. They wanted to produce something rot-proof, mould-proof, and fire-proof. Container homes fit that bill. BCH’s container homes, in particular, are built with a steel foundation and interior, leading to strong and longlasting structures. They are also constructed with air-tight spray foam insulation and JULY 2021
