50 Congress Cresscent

The complex consists of 53 residential townhouse units arranged in 7 blocks and contains a mixture of 2, 3, 4 and 5 bedroom units. The complex was constructed in 1974 and is approximately 47 years old.

Our team completed a review of the areas of water penetration through the basement foundation walls as well as the condition of the rear patios at the townhouse complex. A camera review of the sub-surface weeping tile system around the building foundations was also conducted at selected areas to determine the condition of the existing drainage system. The purpose of the review was to determine the source(s) of water penetration through the foundation walls and to evaluate the general condition of the rear concrete patios and sub-surface drainage system to determine the extent of repair work required.

Following the submission of the report to the client outlining the existing conditions and the extent of the repair work required, the client accepted the recommendation to install a new waterproofing membrane on the foundation walls. Details, drawings and technical specifications for the installation of a waterproofing membrane on the basement foundation walls as well as replacement of the sub-surface drainage system, including the scope and location of the required work, materials and equipment to be used, were prepared and tendered to prequalified contractors. Once the bids were received, our PM reviewed the bids and prepared a bid analysis with a recommendation for contract award. Our Team prepared the contract documents between the successful bidder and the client and provided contract management and field review services during construction.
