Northern Ontario Construction Challenges and Solutions
Construction timeline: Work began in August 2022, paused for winter from January to April 2023, and resumed in April 2023.
Remote logistics: Advance procurement, regional supplier coordination, and on-site storage reduced the risk of material delays.
Trade coordination: Careful scheduling, accommodations, and travel planning helped specialized subcontractors work safely and efficiently.
