The team implemented and executed careful coordination of construction activities to avoid disruption to the tenants located directly below during the GoodLife Fitness Centre conversion. However, during construction the team encountered a problem upon removal of the first level ceiling - it was discovered that it was impossible to access the structural steel connections to complete the reinforcement because of existing duct work.

Bird worked with the consultants to re-design the reinforcing requirement, ultimately reducing the requirement for work in the existing tenant space on the first level by 95%. These changes resulted in a more economical plan, significant cost savings and a reduced schedule.
