As a campsite owner, what's your most valuable asset? It's not the land. It's the experience. From my experience, the old business model of "renting a patch of grass" for a tent is dead. Guests will pay $50/night for a tent spot, but they'll happily pay $250/night for an "experience"—a unique, comfortable, Instagram-worthy cabin. The problem? Traditional log cabins cost a fortune and take 6 ...

Your project is in the Middle Eastern desert, where temperatures hit 50°C (122°F). Or, it's in Northern Canada, where it's -30°C (-22°F) for three months straight. In these conditions, a standard container isn't a house; it's a death trap. An uninsulated steel box becomes an oven or an icebox. From my experience, 90% of all worker complaints on an extreme-climate site—from hi...

As a project manager, I can tell you where a remote camp really fails. It's not the dorms. It's the "life support" systems: the kitchen, the plumbing, and the sanitation. We've seen new PMs spend their entire budget on high-end dorms, only to realize they have no plan for feeding 300 workers or managing the wastewater. From my experience, a worker camp is a living, breathing ecosystem. A si...

What's the number one dream-killer for a new coffee shop? It's not the beans. It's the rent. A 3-year commercial lease in a high-traffic area is a massive financial gamble. From my experience, most new food businesses fail because they're suffocated by fixed overheads before they've even found their audience. What if you could bypass this trap? Enter the shipping container coffee shop. This isn't ...

As a Project Manager, your site housing isn't a product decision; it's a logistics decision. We’ve seen too many projects stumble, not because the engineering was wrong, but because the accommodation logistics failed. You have 500 workers arriving in 8 weeks, and every day they can't be housed is a day your project burns cash. When you're looking at modular solutions, the choice always comes...

As a project manager, I live by one rule: "The cheapest option is almost always the most expensive." Nowhere is this truer than in remote worker accommodation. We've all seen the spreadsheets. A procurement officer finds a prefab unit for $2,000. It looks like a huge win. Then, the logistics quotes come in. The units are bulky and can only ship 2 per container. The assembly requires a specialized ...

You love the "tiny home" idea, but you're not thrilled about spending 6 months building it. You need a guest house, an Airbnb rental, or a home office now, not next year. What if you could have a fully-fitted, 2-bedroom home... delivered on a truck and unfolded in about an hour? This isn't a fantasy. This is the expandable container house. From my experience, this product is the "holy grail...

On a construction project, the clock is always ticking. Your concrete pour is scheduled, your subcontractors are booked, and every day lost to setup is a day of unrecoverable cost. From my experience, a project's success is often defined by its Day 1 readiness. Your first, most critical asset is "Command Central"—the site office. We've seen PMs try to run a $20M project from their truck for ...

As a Project Manager, what's one of the biggest hidden costs on a remote site? It's not materials or machinery. It's worker turnover. When your remote worker accommodation is cold, loud, or unsafe, worker morale plummets. Productivity drops, safety incidents rise, and your best people leave. Replacing a skilled worker on a remote mining site is a logistical nightmare that can set you back w...
