Historic Conservation Projects
West Block Rehabilitation Project, Parliament Hill, Ottawa, Ontario (2009-present)
This project involves the rehabilitation and seismic upgrade of the historic Parliament building, with a new courtyard addition. Our office has been responsible for coordinating the testing and investigation work, preparation of reports, and preparation of construction documents.
Fairmont Royal York Hotel, Toronto, Ontario (2007-present)
This project involves on-going masonry rehabilitation to a heritage building as well as copper flashing replacement. Repairs to the anchors to the structural steel backup have been required. The scope of work included a condition survey, preparation of bid documents and construction administration for each phase of work. Contract Administration must be timely and efficient to accommodate the highly sensitive nature of the project.
Fairmont Chateau Laurier Hotel, Ottawa, Ontario (1999-present)
This project involves on-going masonry rehabilitation and copper roofing replacement, to a heritage building. Repairs to the anchors to the structural steel backup have been completed as work proceeds. Re-waterproofing of several flat roofs within the courtyard have also been complete. The scope of work included a condition survey, preparation of bid documents and contract administration for each project. The constraints of a continuously occupied hotel provide for a challenging construction schedule and demand excellence in project management.
