Canadian modular builder Britco has sent senior executive Chris Gardner with British Columbia’s Premier Christy Clark on a trade mission to China promoting B.C’s natural gas to the growing economies of Asia. Three liquid natural gas facilities will be working by 2020 which will generate thousands of construction jobs, and Britco intends to provide the workforce housing for the employees. “Britco’s modular approach to building construction is a greener, smarter, faster way to build,” said Gardner. “Because we are working off-site and on-site at the same time, we are able to drive costs down and accelerate the construction schedule.” The Langley, BC-based company recently finished an 880 room facility in northern Alberta for Devon Energy which included movie theatres and recreational facilities, as langleyadvance.com tells MHProNews. Added Gardner, “The competition to recruit and retain skilled workers is intense, so companies are focused on providing a home-away-from-home experience with excellent amenities.”
