The Construction Source

JULY 2020 Auburn Developments is also the client on The Barrel Yards, a new high-end community in Uptown Waterloo offering condominiums, apartments, live-work units, and more. Sto- nerise has been involved in that project since the first shovel went into the ground in 2010. In 2016, they won industry awards for two of the buildings they worked on there – which, at the time, were two of the tall- est free-standing total pre-cast concrete buildings in Canada. Two other buildings used cast- in-place concrete. The company also built and worked within an underground parking garage. “There’s nothing else like it in the Kitchener-Waterloo area,” Wade says of the project as a whole. “So there’s been a lot of learning, a lot of working with the city. The fire department comes to site a lot. Every six months, I walk them through and show them what changes have been made. We’re all fig- uring it out together, and it’s turned out extremely well so far.” Wade credits Stonerise’s suc- cess at The Barrel Yards – and on all their projects, for that matter – to the high calibre of their subcontractors and sup- pliers. He says they have been fortunate to collaborate with a long list of dedicated trades. That list includes FCF Carpentry – a relatively new company, but led by founders with 34 years’ experience between them. To- day, they specialize in the in- stallation of interior trim, wood and steel frame doors, decora- tive mouldings, cabinetry, and exterior wood working. Their key values include maintaining a high standard of quality work 3003 Page Street London, Ontario N5V 4J1 TEL 519.652.2104 www.j-aar.com • Earthworks Excavation, Road Reconstruction, Grading • Erosion Control Armourstone, Cable Concrete Matting, Sheet Piling SERVICES INCLUDE: Providing customers in Southwestern Ontario with the peace of mind that we will meet or exceed their expectations. • Site Servicing Sewer/Watermain • ICI • Residential
