Bison Container Homes

From their base in Lockport, Manitoba (just outside Winnipeg), BCH builds durable, transportable, and sustainable accommodations fit for a variety of applications. In all cases, they use advanced and innovative designs, along with materials that will not rot, mould, or deteriorate. This allows BCH to deliver a product that is cost-effective, long-lasting, and environmentally-friendly. Tyler Prevost is the founder and president of Bison Container Homes. He created the company with the goal of providing a “fresh modular housing solution” to Indigenous communities, one that would improve the standard of living while providing opportunities for local tradespeople. Today, BCH sells and installs shipping container units all across Canada, but that founding vision still guides them. Shane Prevost is the company’s vice-president, as well as Tyler’s brother. He remembers starting BCH “with the dream of providing sustainable housing to all Indigenous and northern communities.” “We wanted to build high- quality infrastructure, foster economic growth, create future employment opportunities, and form lasting relationships with First Nations,” Shane says. “That’s what we set out to do, and we’ve been pretty successful.” THE CONSTRUCTION SOURCE CANADA “With BCH, specifically, their product line includes ‘residential homes,’ ‘accommodation homes’ suited for temporary living, group homes, and overnight stays, and ‘recreational buildings’ capable of handling any community function.”
