Optimum was retained to provide construction management for Purcell Point, a community of alpine-inspired townhomes in the heart of Invermere: 68 townhomes across eight buildings, with four floor plans offering two-bedroom plus den and three-bedroom configurations.
The challenge
We took over the project from the original contractor. Two buildings were at the rough-in stage, and substandard framing and poor quality control had led the structural engineer to recommend demolishing them.
What we delivered
- Remediation and quality control. We assessed and oversaw remediation of the existing structures and took over construction of the entire project. Our most experienced framing crew from Calgary brought the compromised buildings back to straight and true and reinforced critical point loads, and the structural engineer signed off on their structural integrity.
- Efficient completion. The project was completed on budget and four months ahead of schedule.
Purcell Point shows our ability to overcome significant construction challenges and deliver a quality product that combines alpine character with practical function.
