Creating additional space for a new restaurant tenant and performing major structural and seismic upgrades.
Fourt was commissioned to help in the renovation of what was "The Bench Wine Bar" to the "Valley Commons Tasting Room and Bistro"
Trotman Auto Group Office Renovations – Langley Chrysler Location Fourt Construction was entrusted with the renovation of key workspaces at Trotman Auto Group's Langley Chrysler dealership, including the marketing office, bullpen, and boardroom. Operating within an active dealership posed unique challenges, requiring us to minimize disruption to daily operations. We employed dust barriers, floor protection, and designated work zones to ensure the safety and comfort of staff during the project. By strategically pre-ordering and pre-measuring all millwork and glass prior to demolition, we minimized downtime, enabling us to complete each area swiftly and efficiently. Our "in-and-out" approach allowed the dealership to continue business as usual with minimal interference.
Commercial Office Code Compliance & Renovation - City of Langley This commercial office space presented significant code violations inherited from previous repairs. When a new tenant moved in, the building inspector flagged an unpermitted addition and an exterior wall that failed to meet fire safety standards. Fourt Construction was brought on to secure approval for the expanded square footage and upgrade the exterior wall to meet non-combustibility regulations. Our work included framing in unauthorized windows, excavating and forming a new foundation, reinforcing and pouring a foundation wall, constructing a steel stud wall, and installing 1" fire-rated shaft walls on both sides. We further added DensGlass sheathing, commercial-grade Tyvek, and finished with steel corrugated cladding. Inside, we corrected the non-compliant egress door by installing a fire-rated door that swung in the correct direction. Additionally, we brought the ADA bathroom up to code by installing grab bars and ensuring full handicap accessibility. We took great pride in resolving these complex issues quickly and efficiently, turning a challenging situation into a smooth transition for the property owner.
Transforming a dilapidated 1950's era paper building on Terminal Ave in Nanaimo into a modern, purpose-built cannabis retail space.
Peak Animal Wellness Services Expansion & Code Compliance Fourt Construction was entrusted with the rectification and expansion of Peak Animal Wellness Services (PAWS) into the neighboring commercial unit. This project presented several challenges, as the space had previously operated as an unlicensed food distribution business with unauthorized renovations, including an improperly built mezzanine and restaurant alterations that failed to meet building code standards. We were tasked with addressing these complex compliance issues, ensuring that both Unit 3 and Unit 4 were brought up to code in accordance with the City of Langley's regulations. By transforming the space into a compliant shell occupancy, we provided the property owner with a headache-free solution and paved the way for a seamless expansion of PAWS.
Currently under construction, this project will become a remarkable transformation of a horse stable into a state-of-the-art high-tech grow operation. Located in a rural area, the stable , used for horses, lacked the necessary infrastructure to accommodate a grow op. However, the challenge was welcomed by the team and an impressive transformation is currently underway. The space was first gutted and completely redesigned to accommodate the high-tech equipment needed for the grow op. This will include the installation of a new HVAC system, electrical and plumbing work, and the implementation of a high-tech monitoring system to ensure optimal conditions for the plants. The design of the grow op was carefully planned to maximize space and efficiency. The team will installed multiple tiers of growing trays, all of which are to be automated for easy maintenance. The trays are equipped with an advanced hydroponic system and LED grow lights, allowing for precise control over the growth cycle of the plants. The result will be a sleek, modern, and high-tech space that allows for the growth of high-quality produce year-round. The system's efficiency and automation mean that the grow op requires minimal maintenance and can produce an impressive yield with only a small amount of square footage. Additionally, the system's eco-friendly design ensures minimal impact on the environment. Overall, this transformation is a testament to the versatility of space and the importance of innovation in agriculture. This project showcases the ability to repurpose existing structures for new and exciting purposes, while also demonstrating the potential for high-tech solutions to address food production challenges in a sustainable way.
