The Arthur – Building 2000 presented a few real-world challenges, including a tight schedule and a delay in panel deliveries that set back production by over a week. We also faced extreme weather during roof construction, working through temperatures that dropped below -30°C with windchill. Installing roof trusses and sheathing under those conditions wasn’t easy, but our crew stayed focused and pushed through safely. While the structural design was fairly straightforward, there were some unique details like coil strapping on cantilevered decks that required extra coordination. Like any build, it came with its ups and downs but we stayed adaptable, leaned on experience, and did what it took to keep things moving.
The client’s goal for The Arthur – Building 2000 was to deliver a well-built, multi-family development on schedule, with quality workmanship and efficient execution. Martennial was brought on to handle the framing portion of the build, and we worked closely with the site team to align with their broader vision. Clear, consistent communication was key from coordinating daily progress to adjusting schedules around material delays and weather conditions. We kept the client updated with on-site feedback, collaborated openly to resolve challenges, and stayed focused on delivering our scope with reliability and professionalism.
Despite weather setbacks and supply delays, Martennial completed the framing scope of The Arthur – Building 2000 on a tight timeline of just 56 working days.
