This three storey wood-frame development includes ten housing units and surface parking.
Challenges and Changes
Challenges began soon after Scuka Construction crews broke ground. We discovered that the soil was unsuitable for the planned building. Clay soil and natural underground springs went undetected by the client and their consultants. Significant changes to the excavation and backfill operations became necessary.
We installed a complex drainage system to address the underground springs. Our crew imported and compacted soil to improve soil quality. Additionally, we installed a sump barrel to redirect water from the site. This remains in place, allowing the client to monitor water levels.
After settling issues with soil and drainage, our team found cost and quality issues in the building’s design. We took over, proposing new layouts and finishes that reduced the project’s cost.
These cost savings mitigated the expense of required drainage and soil improvements. Despite significant site upgrade costs, the project price increased by only $138,000.
Housing the People of the BC Interior
No matter the project or client, our approach to housing the people of Interior BC remains the same.
We start each project by assigning the best team for the job. Then, we pay special attention to pre-construction and project planning.
Our commitment to value engineering ensures we deliver results under challenging circumstances.
Housing is an essential element of any community. We’re proud to deliver another much-needed residential development for the North Okanagan.
