Mount Seaview

Scope:

Mount Sea View is a multi residential apartment complex that is operated through BC Housing in North Vancouver. SR was involved with complete building envelope remediation that saw the replacement of the existing vinyl cladding system with new rainscreen fiber cement siding, sliding and swing doors and windows with new vinyl units, complete balcony membrane replacement, railings and concrete repairs for walkways, patios and the parkade. In addition to the aforementioned building envelope work, SR collaborated with other consultants for repairs and upgrade work in areas of structural, mechanical, electrical, Geotech and interior millwork finishing in the units. As the prime consultants, SR performed site inspections, field reviews and closely monitored the work progress of the contractor. Structural upgrades were made to the existing wood balconies to accommodate side mounted railings. The building’s elevator was completely modernized and refinished to meet current code standards. Extensive mechanical work involving new water connections, bathroom fans and dampeners and sanitary work were implemented. As many of the units at the building were designated as “accessible”, windows and doors were built to satisfy the current building code requirements and industry standards.

Suncreek Estates

Scope:

The project at Suncreek Estates was a full remediation of building envelope cladding, windows and balcony membranes on 3 wood-framed low-rise residential buildings within a large complex. The cladding work consisted of removing all existing wood, stucco and stone veneer cladding wall finishes. Investigations were performed by SR to determine whether sheathing, framing members, anchor bolts, vapour barrier and insulation were compromised from moisture damage and replaced accordingly.
