Scope

Includes the construction of a new building beside City Hall to provide space for additional staff. THL staff became involved when the project was 95% complete, well over budget, and the current project team were unable to achieve final occupancy and closing all permits so that the developer could be paid their final monies. Contacted by the Owner to find solutions to the issues holding up the closure, then implement these solutions. The ongoing monthly project overhead cost was over $50,000.

Solution

Over 1,100 issues were delaying the project closure. This included issues related to building and garage water infiltration, green roofs, fire alarm system, magnetic locks, mechanical systems, electrical systems, and windows. Challenging technical solutions were developed by working with the consultant team. Then the trades were contacted to quote on the required upgrades, then complete the work. All work was overseen by THL staff.

Includes demolishing two smaller buildings on the site then constructing one larger high rise. THL was contacted by the Owner to provide Program Management Services to assist in obtaining the Zoning Bylaw Amendment/Site Plan Approval then continue to offer overall Program Management through the permit applications, tenders, and construction.

Solution

Working with the lead architect, after 4 months, the first full Site Plan Application, as well as Zoning, was submitted. Zoning Bylaw Amendment was obtained after 12 months. THL issued Requests for Proposals and recommended the majority of the project consultants. Now, our ongoing role is to ensure all development and other activities continue on the targeted schedule.

Scope

It is a new, second rental building on the same property as the original rental building. THL was contacted by the Owner to assist in resolving the final complex design issues to obtain the Notice of Approval with Conditions. Plus provided an overall project cost analysis and scheduling plan.

Solution

THL focused on addressing the key City and design issues such that the Notice of Approval with Conditions (NOAC) was issued 6 months after we began work. THL is now retained to oversee the entire project, which includes resolving the NOAC conditions, completing the Parkland Dedication, and leading the design team in preparing the permit drawings. As part of this THL conducted a Value Engineering exercise to optimize the building design.

Scope

THL staff became involved when the project was 30% complete, considerably stalled, well over budget, 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 ongoing monthly project overhead cost (“burn rate”)was over $120,000.

Solution

Critical issues delaying construction involved resolving over 400 major issues including façade, structural, mechanical systems, electrical systems, and windows. Challenging technical solutions were developed by working with the consultant team and trades. Then the consultants issued Site Instructions as required, changes in scope were negotiated with the Trades if needed, then construction was completed. Achieving building occupancy and constructing all 284 residential condos was the focus, to have the purchasers move in and the remaining monies be paid to the Owners. As part of this process, prepared and published monthly financial statements and cost tracking. Reviewed the tenant fit out packages and confirmed work was completed as per the agreements.
