Before we share OBI’ s projects and future strategy, Severin begins with an explanation of his journey into the world of construction.“ I won’ t go too far back, but I got into construction and carpentry when I was very young,” he laughs.“ I always loved being outdoors and working with my hands, but I never intended to be self-employed with my own business. I started my professional career in carpentry, specializing in stair building and finish carpentry, which taught me lots of different production techniques. I then worked for a local construction company and gained my contractor’ s license, and I gradually added more responsibility to my role over time.
