This facility includes four double apparatus bays, training and maintenance yard area and office space able to serve the first response needs of the community. The new hall also includes a shower and decontamination facilities to meet current Work Safe requirements, a flexible training space to make it more efficient and cost effective for crews from all three Lake Country stations to receive training and courses on site, an administration office as well as a parking area. The new building will incorporate energy efficient construction and other environmentally friendly building techniques leading to improved operating efficiencies. 

Working closely with the client group and architect on the project from schematic design through design development, we provided valuable feedback on a variety of parameters including cost, quality, time, and constructability. This ensured that when the project was tendered, costing received from the trade community was in alignment with our pretender estimates, and there was a smooth transition to construction budget acceptance and eventual conversation to a lump sum contract. We worked in lockstep with SAHURI throughout this process to help the integrated team explore various options, and understand their implications and feasibility within the budget that had been approved via referendum.
