Stack Modular Structures is pleased to announce that Mr. Jon Higgins has joined the company as Vice President, Construction.
Jon’s prior experience was with Bird Construction, where he joined in 2009 as a Project Coordinator, gaining further experience with Bird in the roles of Estimator, Project Manager and Construction Manager. Jon’s extensive understanding of offsite construction processes and onsite installation are invaluable to modular project execution.
“We are extremely pleased that Jon has joined Stack Modular’s management team. Overseeing the onsite construction division solves a multitude of concerns the marketplace has realized,” says Jim Dunn, President. “Under Jon’s leadership, Stack’s onsite team will be the ‘go-to’ group, setting the stage for onsite-to-modular cohesion.”
“The modular industry is still in its infancy in North America, and there is plenty of opportunity for it to mature,” states Dunn. “With Stack offering a group solely dedicated to onsite modular installations, a turnkey Stack Modular building can be budgeted, designed, delivered, manufactured and installed all within the Company’s infrastructure.”
Jon has already commenced working with the Stack/Bird team executing the Infrastructure Ontario (IO) corrections projects located in Thunder Bay and Kenora, Ontario. Projects of this caliber and scope requires onsite modular expertise to work with the client directly to ensure a comprehensive structure is adhered to, and a budget is closely monitored.
“I’m excited to bring my knowledge of modular and conventional construction to Stack,” says Higgins. “We have worked collaboratively for the last 5 years, and this move brings my expertise to Stack to allow us to provide comprehensive constructions solutions to our clients. I look forward to continued collaboration with Stack in order to bring affordable modular building technologies to the forefront of the construction industry.”
In addition to the current corrections project, Jon has overseen more than $100M in modular construction, including key projects as the award winning Aqsarniit Hotel & Conference Centre in Iqaluit, Nunavut, and a portion of one of the largest modular workforce housing projects in North America for LNG Canada.
