Canada's construction news
ELEMENT5 — Pictured is building two, a part of the 55 Franklin project, which will consist of four six-storey, 60-unit side-by-side hybrid buildings. The photo shows equipment erecting panelized lightwood frame walls to support CLT floors above.
Locally-based Maxwell Building Consultants is the developer, AAA Architects is the architect, MTE Consultants is the structural engineer and the general contractor is Vandel Construction. Element5 is the CLT designer and fabricator, and Contract Framing Group is the erector. Prior to this project, they had developed two affordable housing projects, one in Kitchener and one in Waterloo, plus a number of other residential projects.Slightly different construction methods are being used on all four. When the project is finished in the fall of 2025 the developer and its project team will be conducting an analysis to determine which one is the best for delivering quality affordability housing and sustainability, he says.
“The subsequent ones are easier, but variables such as financing approval terms, interest rates, and construction costs, and rents change.” The opening of Element5’s plant in nearby St. Thomas in December 2020 prompted the brothers to consider the use of CLT, he says.
