Installation of exterior glass aluminum storefronts with automatic door operators and hollow metal doors.
Canuck Door Systems Co. was tasked with installing new glass aluminum storefronts and hollow metal doors at 1379 Upper James St. The project required high-quality materials while managing lead time challenges exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and a manufacturing plant expansion. These factors delayed approvals for project drawings and extended material delivery times, making it essential to maintain flexibility while adhering to tight deadlines.
To meet the project requirements, Canuck Door Systems Co. deployed three specialized teams focusing on critical aspects of the installation process: Glass Aluminum Products: Windspec 655 Series, Automatic Door Operators: Ditec HA-8 and Hollow Metal Doors: All Steel Doors.
Despite the significant delays in the supply chain, Canuck’s approach—working with staggered timelines and pre-scheduled tasks—helped ensure that the project moved forward efficiently once materials were available. This resilience in the face of challenges is a testament to our team’s problem-solving skills and commitment to delivering high-quality results.
The 1379 Upper James St. project was completed in October 2022, meeting the client’s aesthetic appeal and functionality expectations. The Windspec glass storefronts offered a modern, energy-efficient solution, while the Ditec HA-8 automatic door operators provided reliable accessibility.
Canuck Door Systems Co. team’s unwavering commitment to quality was further demonstrated through their attention to detail, such as immediately replacing damaged parts and conducting early site visits to ensure accurate opening and frame sizes. This commitment to quality is a cornerstone of our work and should reassure all stakeholders of our dedication to excellence.
By partnering with Canuck Door Systems Co. and implementing proactive measures to address potential challenges, AVR Underground Co. successfully delivered the project on time and met all performance objectives, despite the initial delays.
