“We’re a very detail oriented company and so are they. We appreciated the way that they really put the manpower on the project early. They weaved through all the shop drawings and clarified exactly what the requirements for the job were.” “In a lot of projects that don’t have quite the same level of staffing, the shop drawings and the design development would be done progressively,” he adds. “And often when it’s done progressively you end up going down a path that you can’t get back form. You end up having to make accommodations and concessions in some of the latter contracts and drawings, because they were processed based upon decisions that were made early in the project – decisions that you may not have made if you’d seen the big picture earlier.” “That was the best part of working with Graham,” Mike says. “They made sure they saw the big picture right away.” Graham Construction was also a proven contractor with a track record of high quality projects – and Mike says that was another key part of the appeal. “Keltic entered the market with the goal of being a toptier developer,” he says, “and we only want to work with top-tier general contractors and consultants. We don’t necessarily need people gaining experience on our jobs. We want them to come with the experience to be able to perform.” The Paramount is not only fully delivered, it’s also fully sold out – the commercial tower sold out, all the ground floor retail units sold out within 24 hours, and there are no more residential units available. Mike partly credits that commercial success to quality of the building: THE CONSTRUCTION SOURCE CANADA
