Deficiency & Condition Reports

When finishes are failing or a building is approaching rehabilitation, we establish what is there, why it is performing the way it is, and what to do next.

Lifecycle evaluations
Adhesion concerns
Surface contamination reviews
Compatibility assessments
Recoating recommendations

Decorative wallcoverings
Feature walls
Removal and preparation
New construction and retrofit projects

Structural steel
Concrete
Masonry
Architectural metals
Exterior surfaces
Specialty finishes

Condominiums & Rentals

Tower work is a repeatability problem: the same suite, the same corridor, the same detail hundreds of times, on a schedule that only moves one way. We specify, inspect, and install the finish package for new residential condominium and purpose-built rental construction.

Suite painting and touch-up standards
Corridor and stairwell systems
Mock-up suite reviews
Deficiency walk-throughs
Turnover documentation

Common Areas & Amenity Spaces

Shared spaces finished for heavy daily use:

Lobbies and elevator cabs
Amenity and party rooms
Wallcoverings and feature walls
Parkade and loading area coatings
Mechanical and service room coatings

Developer & Construction Manager Support

Support across a multi-building program:

Specification and system selection
Level 5 finish reviews
Trade sequencing by floor
Third-party quality assurance
Warranty documentation

We work directly with developers, construction managers, and finishing trades from mock-up through occupancy.

Retail Fit-Ups

Fit-up schedules are set by lease dates, not by the trades. We handle the finishing scope in occupied centres and live buildings: night shifts, staged access, and finishes that meet landlord and mall criteria.

Landlord & Mall Criteria

Finishes delivered to the standard the centre actually enforces:

Landlord design criteria reviews
Tenant coordination drawings
Mall standard compliance
Fire-rated and low-VOC systems
Storefront and signage finishes

Fast-Track Delivery

Sequencing built around an opening date:

After-hours and weekend shifts
Phased turnover of front and back of house
Flooring and wall base installation
Fixture coordination
Deficiency close-out

Fit-Up Surfaces

Finishing scope across:

Drywall and ceiling painting
