Description:

In partnership with the Cowichan Bay Improvement District, Integrity managed the community’s new, ground-up volunteer fire hall. This $14.6 million seismically rated, FireSmart cladding-compliant facility represents a major improvement from the original hall built in 1978. It enhances safety, supports the health of first responders, and ensures they’re equipped to continue serving the community they love.

As the designated project manager, Integrity:

Led feasibility assessments and managed the full RFP process for architectural, design, and construction management services.
Directed design development while maintaining budget alignment and driving value-engineering opportunities.
Oversaw construction activities and ensured rigorous quality assurance throughout the project lifecycle.

Challenges included an irregularly shaped lot, truck turning movements, and maintaining the existing firehall until new hall was occupied. This project also included water treatment and Level 3 wastewater treatment plants.
