Frequently Asked Questions
That’s a hot topic! As you can imagine, a lot can influence pricing. The short answer is, design and construction of an average interior fit out for an office space will average between $100CAD per s.f. to $200CAD per s.f., depending on the furniture, the quality of the finishes and the size of the space. This being said, the subject is so complex we wrote a long blog post about it that you can read here.
It is always though to say, but using a turnkey, design-build approach, we can start ordering long lead items while we are completing the design and even start demolition, if required. The average 2,500 to 25,000 s.f. project usually needs about 6 to 12 months to complete, from the first step: feasibility study, to the last step before moving in: final clean up and commissioning.We also wrote a very interesting blog post detailing every step of a typical lab space project that you can read here.
No. BUT, according to our more than 14 years of experience, NOT going through a turnkey, design-build (IE: Only 1 responsible for everything) type of agreement, it puts a lot more pressure on the client that will then need to play the role of overseeing the various stakeholders: the City, the architecture firm, the engineering firm, the landlord, the neighbors and/or other tenants in the building, and the general contractor. Find the key advantages of our turnkey approach here.
Our current projects are between about $1M to $25M. Depending on the timing, the location of the project and our workload, we can easily adapt and collaborate on any project ranging from $500K to $50M.
For now, we only offer our service throughout the Greater Montreal Area. Depending on the timing, the location of the project and our workload, we can easily adapt and collaborate on any project located in the provinces of Quebec and Ontario.
Even if project management principles are similar to any construction project, the level of complexity regarding all the mechanical aspects of a lab space project requires a very experienced team of architects, engineers, project managers, and superintendents.
First: Preliminary Study (How much & How long), Second: Design (Coordination between all professionals: Architecture & Engineering), Third: Construction (project management, health and safety, site supervision and coordination between job site workers, subcontractors, professionals, landlord, tenants, client, etc.). Our job is to oversee all moving parts related to the project and make sure it is delivered as fast and as cost efficiently as possible, while making sure the quality is optimal.
Our company has been 99% paperless for more than 9 years now. We still like to have a paper copy of the drawings on every job site but the rest (including an always up to date version of the drawings) is all managed through Procore. This online platform helps us streamline literally every process from pre-construction to closeout.
