thlcmca on November 8, 2024

Scope

Included the design concept for 4 studios, assessing the construction and overall project costs, preparing a proforma, then provided a project feasibility report. Provided Program Management services to assist in the design process, then prepare the feasibility report.

Solution

Conestoga College identified an opportunity to construct 4 sound stages at their Fountain St. campus. THL was retained as the overall project managers to develop a design concept, prepare a project cost estimate, forecasted revenue and proforma, then recommend the financial feasibility of the report. Some of the fundamental points were based upon THL’s experience on the construction of the Pinewood stages. Our final report indicated that the yield justified the construction. Work has now been paused as the college reviews their options for proceeding.

Scope

It is a new development consisting of townhouses and a commercial building with a common underground parking. THL was contacted by the Owner to assist in resolving the final challenging issues they needed to address in order to achieve the required zoning. In particular, THL was requested to prepare a detailed Construction Management Plan.

Solution

THL collected up all the issues and concerns of York Region, East Gwillimbury, and the design team by reviewing the available documents plus meetings. Next solutions to each of the problems were identified and discussed with the municipal reviewers. Once they accepted the approach, the Construction Management Plan was finalized. The entire project was completed in 4 weeks, and the Owner achieved the zoning thereafter.

thlcmca on November 8, 2024

Scope

Included the removal and replacement of the 4-storey building façade along Bloor St., demolition of the 6 existing retail units, rough in for the future tenants, and coordination of tenant fit out work requirements. Contacted by the Owner when the project was 50% complete, considerably stalled, and drastically behind schedule. The landlord was very concerned about missing target dates in the new lease agreements and losing tenants.

Solution

THL’s proven Issues Resolution business process quickly identified and assessed numerous design, permit, material, structural and mechanical issues. We developed and implemented various communication, workflow, cost management, and tracking solutions. We overcame design and technical challenges by significantly improving collaboration with construction, architects and consultants, and coordination with tenants. Within 2 months, construction began proceeding at a reasonable rate for tenant turnover, and new target completion dates were then negotiated with all future tenants.

Scope

Included the removal and replacement of the 4 storey building façade along Bloor St., demolition of the 6 existing retail units, rough in for the future tenants, construction of a new “jewel box” store on the Cumberland side of the building, and coordination of tenant fit out work requirements. THL became involved when the project was 50% complete, considerably stalled, and dramatically behind schedule. Contacted by the Owner to find solutions to the issues holding up the project, then implement these solutions to get the project moving at a faster pace. The landlord was very concerned about missing target dates in the new lease agreements. This risked losing the tenants.

Solution

THL quickly assessed the construction issues and developed solutions within 2 months. Then construction began proceeding at a reasonable rate for tenant turnover. New target completion dates were then negotiated with all future tenants. One of the key issues was that the Construction Manager would not order the façade panels as the Architect would not guarantee the sizes. So all related work was at an impasse. A second key issue was that the architect’s façade design was past the property lines at the sidewalk, and above the vertical limit. THL quickly investigated and developed solutions using our proven Issues Resolution business process. Other critical issues delaying construction involved resolving issues related to the façade design, structural supports, mechanical systems, electrical systems, and coordination of tenant requirements. Challenging technical solutions were developed by working with the consultant team and Construction Manager. As part of this process, we prepared and published monthly financial statements and cost tracking. Reviewed the tenant fit out packages and confirmed work was completed as per the agreements.
