Reliability and Quality – On Time and on Budget

Bonavista Estates

Bonavista Estates Condo Board in South Calgary selected Calibre to complete work to their attic space in two of their three buildings. Working with Optimize Envelope Engineering, we installed permanent and proper safety lighting and walkways in the attics and made numerous repairs to their fire and smoke barriers within each section of the roof space.

Calibre Carpenters and the HVAC team successfully carried out all necessary repairs, which made a major difference to the energy rating of the entire Complex.

The Newbury

Calibre and Optimize Envelope Engineering worked hand in hand to complete major reconstruction on this five-storey Complex.

The exterior insulation and finishing system (EIFS) was our main concern. The project involved working in extremely tight spaces between neighbouring buildings and the use of large aerial lift equipment. This meant that Health and Safety Standards were going to be of very high priority, with overhead works being carried out while maintaining care and protection for all homeowners, visitors, and the public in general.

The Landings 

This was a Major project that involved extensive demolition and in-depth renovations and repairs to all apartment decks to bring them up to modern standards and meet the code.

Demolition consisted of removing the pergola structures and removal of all decks, including membranes, sheathing, joists, support beams, and ledgers. Construction included forming, reinforcing, and pouring new concrete pile caps and construction of new decks using pressure-treated posts anchored to the newly installed pile caps. New membranes to conform to CAN CGSB-37.54-95 PVC Roofing and Waterproofing were installed. We also installed lower privacy wall framing for each apartment. Restoration of all stucco was completed. Soffits, cladding, and cap flashing were all replaced.

Newport Landing

Calibre demolished, removed, and disposed of all of the existing wooden decks, which were in total disrepair. New maintenance-free composite decking was reinstalled in all of the apartments. We also installed new aluminum railings and aluminum-clad columns with custom-made decorative column cap details. New lattice detail to the underside of each deck polished off the new modern look of this project.

The renovation drastically reduced maintenance costs and the need to repaint every couple of years, which was of huge benefit to everyone involved.

The Terrace

The Terrace Courtyard Waterproofing was a major undertaking. Heavy equipment had to be lifted by crane into the raised courtyard. This was no small feat, requiring critical coordination between street closures, crane operators, and concrete cutting, all taking place with minimal disruption to both apartment owners and the general public.

With all of the large equipment involved, safety was, as always, a priority, and with the help of Calibre's in-house Safety Officer, Hazard Assessments being carried out on a daily basis, Toolbox Meetings, and good supervision, we were able to complete this project without setbacks.

Maple Ridge Golf

Roofs are one of our specialties. Calibre has the expertise and experience to tackle any roofing project. At Maple Ridge Golf Course, we replaced the Clubhouse roof with a steel roof. We installed specialized snow and ice rakes to protect patrons from dislodging snow and ice. Coordinating construction schedules with the course superintendent was vital with the public accessing the clubhouse throughout the project.
