Harwood Manor, originally constructed in 1983, is a six-storey building with 22 residential units.

Due to its aging envelope components, a comprehensive and systematic targeted renovation of the building exterior walls, roof and roof decks was required.

Hardwood Manor (1133 Hardwood Street, Vancouver, BC.) underwent a significant renewal and renovation that is nothing short of breath-taking. It is a recent center-piece in the New City portfolio.

Harwood Manor is a steel stud-framed structure supported by cast-in-place reinforced concrete, suspended slab, concrete columns, concrete foundation walls, and a slab-on-grade foundation. The building entrance walkway and lobby area are primarily supported by a slab on grade, while units at grade are supported by a suspended slab.

This property is situated north of Pacific Avenue with a fabulous view of the South Metro Vancouver and False Creek. As part of our project marketing workup, we captured volumes of terrestrial and aerial media. Here's a clip from the drone footage we captured on this project.

Challenges and Results

We encountered a significant amount of heavily corroded structural steel stud on several areas of this project. We were able to remove all the existing cladding on the building and expose everything. We then completed all the steel stud framing repairs while also working on our base scope contract. This process was designed and reviewed by a structural engineer from one of our project consultant partners, BC Building Science Ltd.

Our work was conducted under strict safety and environmental protocols, and we’ve placed a quality management system for all the products and materials that were utilized in the project. We also performed multiple tests to ensure the safety of the building and functionality of the components.
