    The challenges:
     
    Due to the various challenges associated with the Covid-19 pandemic, the project was compressed into multiple areas of the project being delivered simultaneously. In a large-scale commercial office this clearly provided challenges for all parties.
     
    One critical work sequence for this project was the removal and replacement of all HVAC roof plant equipment over the course of one weekend. This took careful planning and execution from our team. The positioning of the new air conditioning condensing units can be seen in the enclosed photograph.
