Au 4 saisons

(Montréal)

Here is another feasibility study made for an addition project for a seniors housing already containing about forty rooms.
 
The goal is to bring the building to close to 80 units of lodgings, or in another words, adding about 40 rooms, a new dining room and new kitchen. Such is the customer's demand.

Here are the existing and new sectors.
 
The addition is always planned according to a modular frame to allow the choice between the pre-fabricated modular construction or conventional construction.
The modular option is often allowed in our studies for an important reason :
To shorten and to simplify the construction on the site, the coming and going of vehicles and the unusual occurrences in this kind of building of a such noise sensitive population.
 
Every feasibility study carries its share of constraints and particular demands, what makes of each an "unique adventure" and doesn't suffer inaccuracy :

In fact, from seriousness of the study and the exactness of its conclusions, depends the success or no of the project :
 
The goals and requirements are :
 

• First the complete respect of the National Building Code or otherwise, obtaining derogations by equivalent measures by the 'Régie du Bâtiment".

• The complete respect of the urbanistic regulations or otherwise, obtaining derogations by equivalent or compensatory measures.

• The growth of the profitability of the establishment.

• The improvement of the ambiance and the well-being of the residents.

• To increase the functionality of the building for the residents and for the staff.
