Over 1,100 #rental homes in two towers up to 54 storeys proposed for the north end of Burrard Bridge in downtown #Vancouver Designed by Diamond Schmitt Architects and PWL Partnership Landscape Architects Inc., the proposal calls for two new high-rise towers — a 40-storey west tower (closest to the bridge) and a 54-storey east tower (next to the intersection of Howe and Pacific streets). The tallest tower would reach a height of 534 ft (163 metres). The proposal features 1,136 middle-income, secured purpose-built market #rental homes, aligning with the municipal government’s strategy to redevelop select under-utilized City-owned properties into market housing. This approach serves the dual purpose of addressing housing needs for working people, while generating additional revenue to help ease the reliance on property tax increases. About 11,400 sq ft of #commercial #retail/restaurant space would activate the edges of the complex fronting Pacific Street and the footings of the Burrard Street Bridge.

What is the elevator hoistway construction tolerance? Is it CSA Standards A23 standards concrete tolerance? Or does the Technical Safety BC checklist have any specifics for this? Trades checklists possibly? Otis Elevator Co., KONE Richmond Elevator Maintenance LTD., thyssenkrupp ,Schindler Elevator Corporation (Canada).. or others? BASTET ACBIM .. being local .. with thorough knowledge of the local standards and codes and AHJ requirements.. what made us excel as a #Canadian #BIM consultant! In this City of Vancouver project .. we found 1.5'' in Y direction and 3.75'' in X direction variance between our structure and architecture model! Does a smaller car fit inside then? or need to change the trade or the elevator! what about the City of Vancouver daycare guidelines? what does it say? Luckily the elevators weren't ordered .. but very interesting the shop drawings were approved! or like the consultants call it in #BC and #ON "REVIEWED" to avoid liability for the owner/developer's 30% deposit to fabricate the elevators! No matter where your project is at .. BASTET ACBIM #ACBIM service still can save your project from going side a dark tunnel of unknowns .. our models and reviews shed light on your project's darkest areas .. like the elevator hoistways.. where things might get overlooked. Our lucky client didn't lose the 30% of the daycare elevator .. that would been likely the case .. if the elevator showed up onsite and wouldn't fit inside the smaller hoist way! #BASTET #CANADA #BRITISHCOLUMBIA #ONTARIO #TORONTO #OTTAWA #LONDON #GTA #MANITOBA #ALBERTA #QUEBEC #VANCOUVER #CALGARY #RICHMOND #BURNABY #SURREY #COQUITLAM #TORONTO #MISSISSAUGA #ACBIM #ADABIM #ACPBIM #COORDINATION #VALUEENGINEERING #PEERREVIEW #CONSTRUCTIONPLANNING #PROJECTMANAGMENT #REALESTATE #DEVELOPMENT #CONSTRUCTION #DESIGN #RISK #PROJECTS

Pair of #Toronto #office buildings would be torn down for 4-tower #condo complex Two #office buildings in the heart of #North #York are now on the chopping block and could soon be replaced by a vast new #development that would bring four tall #towers to a site just east of Yonge and Sheppard. Developer Lev Living has proposed to raze the existing buildings and redevelop the site with towers rising 59, 53, 49 and 30 storeys, which would rise from a pair of mixed-use podiums. With heights of 194, 172, 159 and 105 metres, the quartet of new buildings would be some of the tallest buildings on the North York City Centre skyline. Their designs from B+H Architects are a departure from the typical glass-box aesthetic that dominates the local skyline, with geometric forms including curved brick elements that eschew the #Toronto norms.

Sneak peek at our #ACBIM service! From our recent project in the City of Toronto. While we reviewed our architecture, structure, and civil models along with the notes in the civil drawings, we found that the tank size required in the civil drawings is smaller by 25 cubic meters! why was the tank oversized then? Does not matter why the tank was oversized! what matters is that the sizing difference was caught in our reviewing process and the concrete outline was revised! What is the best solution for this? .. :) used BASTET ACBIM #ACBIM service! we are the only consultant who reviews everything on the drawings .. even the notes, word by word!

52-Storey Proposal Would Convert #Office Building at Richmond and Peter A 52-storey proposal in #Toronto’s King-Spadina area would reuse the structure of a 9-storey #office building as its base. Designed by WZMH Architects for iA Groupe financier (Industrielle Alliance)and Financial Services Inc., the submission includes #affordable #rentals, alongside #retail and flexible non-#residential space. Situated at 111 Peter Street between Adelaide and Richmond streets, the site benefits from being close to #Ontario Line 3’s Queen-Spadina station, currently under #construction. Capital Developments has submitted a Zoning By-law Amendment application to the City of Toronto on behalf of Industrial Alliance, the landowner. The proposal envisions a 52-storey mixed-use tower rising 172.22m, with 852 #residential units, including 24 #affordable #rental units. The existing building would be structurally reinforced to integrate the tower into it.

Towers with nontypical floors need more attention in the modeling and coordination process. For sure it does, it required at least 27% more effort in the coordination, repetitive floors are always easier in the coordination, and the stack of floors is usually the same with the layout and vertical positions, but the transition between these stacks of floors is where are the issues arise, that's why we pay more attention to these transitions and focus on ensuring that these changes are well coordinated. If you want to learn more about nontypical floor tower modeling and coordination and how BASTET ACBIM #ACBIM can help in discovering all the issues come with these special design towers, reach out to us today! #BASTET #CANADA #BRITISHCOLUMBIA #ONTARIO #TORONTO #OTTAWA #LONDON #GTA #MANITOBA #ALBERTA #QUEBEC #VANCOUVER #CALGARY #RICHMOND #BURNABY #SURREY #COQUITLAM #TORONTO #MISSISSAUGA #ACBIM #ADABIM #ACPBIM #COORDINATION #VALUEENGINEERING #PEERREVIEW #CONSTRUCTIONPLANNING #PROJECTMANAGMENT #REALESTATE #DEVELOPMENT #CONSTRUCTION #DESIGN #RISK #PROJECTS

Not what are the issues here! .. actually how many issues are in here? There is no clash detection issue for sure, this is when the models are not enough by any means! Some of these issues .. the most obvious is the clear height in the exit stairs, is that it? No, for sure, the least obvious one, is that even solving the clear height issue, this pipe run will need to be inside a fire-rated shaft! What else? any other issues? for sure there are a couple more! In this City of Richmond project, BASTET ACBIM #ACBIM addressed over 500 RFIs during the design development stage .. how much would this cost during construction? you guess and leave your answer in the comments and we will let you know!

Sneak peek at our #ACBIM service! From our recent project in the City of Toronto. The slab column connections are the most critical joints for the structure integrity, and should never be compromised by any means! Our deep understanding of structure engineering makes us the best capable of finding the issues that no other #BIM outfit would ever even think about! In one of our reviews, we found a trench drain disconnecting the slab and column, making the slab less than 2 inches at the trench drain side, which compromised the structure capacity of this connection. What is this design constructed as is, what would happen? The area around this column will be stressed under punch shear and negative moment, which will create cracks, and likely some deformation in the slab, which will cost tons to be fixed, especially in an occupied building! Not only do we create a very detailed model and review it against each other, but we also go the extra mile .. we deeply dive into things that you never see in the drawings or the models, such as geometric clash detection, but to the depth of understanding how the different systems perform. This kind of mistake, not only causes cost overruns through change orders and delays, but for sure it can cause disasters!

Advanced systems .. hybrid systems .. are these systems adding value to your project? The best way to answer this is to get the project built virtually, and modeled, once the project is modeled to a higher level of detail, usually between #LOD300 and #LOD400. For the past several years, a lot of new systems and hybrid systems have been introduced to the #Canadian market, most of these systems, end up costing your project more and have a huge impact on the other systems! while this is not the image usually portrayed at first glance .. after deeply diving into the highly detailed models, you can not miss the real impact of such systems, either positive or negative. Reach out to us today to learn how BASTET ACBIM #ACBIM service can help you identify the impact of any new innovation on your project, and what the outcome will really look like. #BASTET #CANADA #BRITISHCOLUMBIA #ONTARIO #TORONTO #OTTAWA #LONDON #GTA #MANITOBA #ALBERTA #QUEBEC #VANCOUVER #CALGARY #RICHMOND #BURNABY #SURREY #COQUITLAM #TORONTO #MISSISSAUGA #ACBIM #ADABIM #ACPBIM #COORDINATION #VALUEENGINEERING #PEERREVIEW #CONSTRUCTIONPLANNING #PROJECTMANAGMENT #REALESTATE #DEVELOPMENT #CONSTRUCTION #DESIGN #RISK #PROJECTS

QuadReal Revises Plans For 45-Storey Purpose-Built #Rental Project In Mount Pleasant Plans for a 21-storey #residential development that received zoning approvals in 2022 were recently revised to propose a 45-storey purpose-built #rental building offering 527 new dwelling units in #Toronto's Mount Peasant neighbourhood. The updated plans were submitted in mid-November by #Vancouver-based developer QuadReal Property Group and are currently under review. If approved, the #development would replace four semi-detached dwellings and a four-storey portion of the Briton House Retirement Centre. Planned for the 22,507-sq.-ft site is the demolition of the existing structures to be replaced by a building designed by Sweeny &Co Architects Inc. featuring a five-storey podium and 40-storey #tower element constituting 354,132 sq. ft. At grade, you would find a 4,628-sq.-ft Privately-Owned Publicly Accessible Space (POPS) along Soudan and Brownlow that, according to the application's planning rationale, would provide "a publicly accessible amenity and seating areas, enhancing the public realm."
