rooms. The facility plans also incorporated justice programs like the BC Prosecution Service, Community Corrections, a Justice Access Centre, as well as a parkade to supplement parking requirements for the city. The new building is one of the key court facilities within the Lower Fraser Valley and will play a critical role in the administration of the justice system in this region. Sam describes that project as “my baby – for lack of a better term,” as it was the last project he managed on-site before moving onto his current role on the prefabrication side of the business. “I’m extremely proud of how we executed on that project. It was very high-level execution. We had a really good site team and we got right down into the weeds on every little piece of the project. I think we took the prefabrication and the modelling to just as high a level as Penticton, if not higher.” “We definitely leveraged a lot of new innovations there,” he continues. “We produced and installed multi-trade racks in the mechanical rooms. We started to prefabricate hangars for that project. We came up with a whole new set of designs for the in-wall assemblies. We did modular mechanical room skids as well.” They also had to contend with the burgeoning challenge of COVID on that project, as the pandemic hit when they were roughly three months from completion. “But we were still able to complete it on time, on budget, and we were able to hand over the keys for the service commencement date that was set out when we first submitted our RFQ,” Sam says. “So that job went very well, considering the circumstances.” “I think that was a result of our early planning,” he explains. “I definitely think we were very ahead of the curve in terms of design, in terms of modelling, and in terms of prefabrication. We were essentially completing all of our rough-in works while the reshores still in place onsite. That shows how proactive we are. I think that’s pretty rare.” THE CONSTRUCTION SOURCE CANADA
