Building refurbishment.
Project Description
At the heart of this major renovation project: the complete rehabilitation of a residential building with 54 housing units, managed by the Office municipal d’habitation de Montréal (OMHM). The first phase involves the complete interior demolition of the building, including the exterior concrete balconies — a delicate operation requiring absolute mastery of the deconstruction and maintenance of the existing structure.
The intervention also includes complete asbestos removal, followed by interior redevelopment in compliance with OMHM quality and safety standards. A major transformation will be made to the accessibility of the building, with the extension of the elevator to the basement, thanks to careful underpinning works.
Challenge
Several major challenges define this project:
• Asbestos presence: Requires strict decontamination protocols and rigorous safety standards.
• Structural underpinning: Extending the elevator to the basement demands complex modifications without compromising the building’s stability.
• Tight deadlines: Meticulous planning and flawless execution are essential to meet the schedule.
• Restricted access: The limited site space demands optimized logistics and delivery coordination.
• Environmental compliance: Waste sorting and disposal must be managed with precision in accordance with current regulations.
Expertise
With a budget of $16 million and multiple constraints, this project highlights the full extent of Seni’s expertise. The know-how of the teams is mobilized at each stage to ensure a structured site, compliant with the requirements of the OMHM, and exemplary in environmental terms.
Asbestos removal, demolition and structural work are carried out in absolute compliance with safety standards. The interior design and improved accessibility reflect Seni’s commitment to creating sustainable, functional and safe living environments — for today and tomorrow.
