Marquis is an iconic 17 floor, 217 unit multifamily building located in downtown Calgary. We Transformed the common areas, elevator lobbies, corridors, and more into an exquisite living space through a full-scope interior renovation.

This project was of a complete renovation of flooring, vinyl wall coverings, baseboards and doors throughout the entire common area of the building - including hallways, corridors, lobbies and social rooms - a total of over 250 doors. We installed new lighting fixtures, furniture, mailboxes, decor and more throughout the entire building.

Wyndham Crossing experienced a flood that effected the main floor of the building.

As construction managers of this project, we looked after all aspects involved with renovations and the abatement process. Across 30 units, we rebuilt all new kitchens, bathrooms and living areas. Cabinets, plumbing, electrical, flooring, drywall and appliances were completely redone.

The common areas were also entirely rebuilt, including all hallways, vestibules, laundry and maintenance rooms.

We met customer specifications for all elements of the renovation and completed this large project in under 3 months.

Through our proven track record in effectively delivering value and results in the multifamily renovation market throughout Alberta, we are in a position to be consistently working with GEF. These projects range from initial demolition and restoration to complete interior renovations and suite renewals.

Full interior renovations often include: flooring, electrical, plumbing, cabinetry, paint, major appliances and lighting fixtures. We often provide restoration services for GEF’s multi-family buildings as well, including: asbestos abatement and mould remediation.

Logistical challenges commonly exist throughout projects of this nature. From tenant occupancy, secure access, and health protocols in 2021 to the suprises that are uncovered when working in older buildings and specific material requirements - we are an integral part of ensuring compliance, quality and professionalism are upheld in the highest regard throughout the entirety of the project.
