REPORT:
The subject property is located on the southwest corner of Benton Street and Charles
Street East. The property is designated under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act due to its
location within the Victoria Park Area Heritage Conservation District (VPAHCD). The
property is identified as having very high cultural heritage value or interest.
Proposed Alterations to Two (2) Sanctuary Windows
The applicant is proposing to repair exterior deteriorated sections of the existing wood
(pine) caps and trim on the two (2) large transept windows of the sanctuary. The applicant
has advised that the existing caps and trim are not original but were installed around 1980
and, at that time, aimed to match the original wood caps and trim. A copy of the c. 1980
drawings was provided to staff along with a sample of the trim.
The applicant retained N1 Construction Limited to determine the extent of deterioration
and to recommend an approach to repair the windows. N1 Construction Limited conducted
a site visit on March 10, 2025, and concluded that roughly 30% of the trim on each window
requires immediate action. They are recommending the following repairs- (1) remove and
replace deteriorated caps and trim to match existing profiles; (2) use filler (SculpWood
Putty) material to fill in portions of deteriorated caps and trim that do not require
replacement; and, (3) seal (S-1 Clear Penetrating Epoxy Sealer) and paint to extend the
life of the windows. Simple, straight sections of caps and trim will be measured to recreate
the existing material and profile. Curved, organic sections of caps and trim will be molded
in plaster and recreated with fiberglass and resin to recreate the existing profile. Existing
surfaces (e.g., brick, stone, glass) will be protected from the proposed work by covering
and taping to prevent damage during the repair of the windows.
The VPAHCD Plan provides building conservation guidelines for paint and colour. The
applicant is strongly encouraged to follow the paint preparation and painting guidelines to
increase the durability and longevity of the paint on the caps and trim. The preparation
Page 602 of 732
guidelines provide advice for cleaning, caulking, putting nail holes, shellacking, and
removing all loose, flaking or blistering paint. Further, the work should be completed in
clear, dry weather with temperatures above 5 degrees C. The painting guidelines provide
advice on the number of coats, primer coats, and finished coats. Particular attention
should be given to the type of paint that exists on the windows to ensure that latex paint is
not applied over an oil-based paint.

The Provincial "Eight guiding principles in the conservation of built heritage properties"
provides the following recommended principles:
• Respect for documentary evidence: Do not base restoration on conjecture.
Conservation work should be based on historic documentation such as historic
photographs, drawings and physical evidence.
• Respect for historical material: Repair/conserve rather than replace building
materials and finishes except where absolutely necessary. Minimal intervention
maintains the heritage content of the built resource.
Page 604 of 732
• Respect for original fabric: Repair with like materials. Repair to return the resource
to its prior condition, without altering its integrity.
• Maintenance: With continuous care, future restoration will not be necessary. With
regular upkeep, major conservation projects and their high costs can be avoided.
�u
Figure 5.0 North Elevation (Benton St) — Wood Deterioration Highlighted in Yellow
The Federal "Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada"
provides the following recommended guidelines for windows:
• Repairing parts of windows, by patching, piecing -in, consolidating, or otherwise
reinforcing, using recognized conservation methods. Repair may also include the
Page 605 of 732
limited replacement in kind, or with a compatible substitute material, of those
extensively deteriorated or missing parts of windows. Repairs should match the
existing work as closely as possible, both physically and visually.
Protecting adjacent heritage attributes from accidental damage, or exposure to
damaging materials during maintenance or repair work.
In reviewing the merits of this application, Heritage Planning Staff note the following:
• The subject property is designated under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act;
• The subject property is located in the VPAHCD;
• The subject property is identified as having very high cultural heritage value or
interest;
• The existing caps and trim were replaced in the 1980s to match the originals;
• The scope of work includes:
o limited replacement to match the existing materials, profiles and details;
o limited replacement with fibreglass to match the existing profiles and details;
o repairs to deteriorated caps and trim that do not require replacement;
o painting all caps and trim; and,
o sealing all painted caps and trim;
• The proposed alterations are in keeping with good conservation practices;
• The proposed alterations are consistent with the principles respect for documentary
evidence, respect for historical material, and respect for original fabric outlined in
the Provincial guiding principles;
• The proposed alterations are consistent with recommended guidelines for window
repairs outlined in the Federal standards and guidelines;
• The US National Park Service Preservation Brief 9 provides guidance on the repair
of wood windows and notes that epoxies are among the most durable and long
lasting materials available for wood repair; and,
• The proposed alterations will not adversely affect the character of the property,
Benton Street, Church Street or the VPAHCD.

Dear Michelle Drake,
On March 10th Neil Duncan & Ben Adams investigated the large stain glass windows
facing both Church Street & the parking lot to determine the extent of wood rot of the
decorative wood frame capping & trims. The investigation concluded that roughly 30%
of the wood trims on each window had deteriorated to a point that require immediate
action, chunks of wood had begun to flake off and small animals had started to burrow
into the cervices where the wood has rotted away (See figures 1-3). Structural the
window is supported by a galvanized steel plate frame which appears to be in sufficient
shape and in no need of work. A wood beam runs through the spandrel panel portion to
support the interior floor load and appears to be free of rot. We suspect that exposure to
moisture and harsh UV rays from the sun has led to the deterioration of the wood caps
& trims for these windows (See Figure 4 & 5 to see area of rot on windows).
Solution:
We propose removing deteriorated and rotted wood caps & trims as well as reseal &
paint remaining to extend the life of these windows. Profiles of wood caps & trims will be
recreated to match wood lengths for straight sections of caps & trims. Curved or organic
shaped caps & trims will be molded in plaster and recreated with fiber glass & resin to
model identical and matching assemblies. A clay like filler material will be used to fill in
portion of surface deterioration where caps and trims can be saved.

throughout the space. The doors aligned with the corridor side paneling, pivoting into the makers space, to create a large open space feel.
Additionally, we were responsible for sourcing a large mechanical unit allowing for separate climate -controlled spaces within the exhibit and archival rooms to maintain
humidity and temperature. We installed an extensive exhaust system to each room to facilitate proper ventilation for the smudging ceremonies. The expectation of fully
climate -controlled exhibit spaces had many design shortcomings, large contributing to the project's total 38 change orders and 37 Site instructions. Our services included
the coordination of state-of-the-art door hardware providing solutions to design dilemmas for all doors to meet their intended function. Our team lead, who spearheaded
the RFP closing, continued to play a vital role in navigating the intricacies of the project. Recognizing the insufficient information in the original documents post -award, Neil
and Project Manager, Zack, collaborated with subtrades through on-site meetings to recognize potential challenges and propose viable solutions. This proactive approach,
including the formulation of questions with potential solutions in RFIs, allowed for clarification in the project scope and for our team to provide solutions reducing
unnecessary costs.
Remarks:
The RFP specified immediate construction upon award, aiming for substantial completion by early August 2023, aligning with the return of students in the neighbouring art studio. The rush to complete
was removed post -award, delaying the project for months. During the interim, we issued our first RFI highlighting the 60 -week lead time for the specified main air handler unit and informing the client
that we were looking for an alternative; our team found an alternative with a 24 -week lead time which was installed the beginning of December. An additional layer of complexity was introduced with the
University's class schedule, which necessitated a phasing plan for completing the central lobby. This area, identified as the main access for students, required accelerated construction to meet occupancy
deadlines. Flexibility and adaptability were crucial as the designer continued to refine details, particularly in the selection of doors and hardware well into August. Building in cost increases into change
orders allowed for the installation of interim quick -ship temporary hollow metal doors and frames. These temporary measures were later seamlessly swapped out during planned student absences,
minimizing disruptions to the learning environment. A particularly noteworthy aspect of the project was the installation of wood accent slats on adjacent walls within one corner of the exhibit space.
Clear white pine slats, anchored to the walls, projected into the room and angled towards a central focal point to create an arch. This feature required thorough coordination and numerous conversations
with the specialty woodworking subcontractor to ensure high-quality, on-time installation. The same subcontractor also installed rift -cut white oak paneling on another feature wall, matching the wood
veneer doors and frames our team managed in the corridor. Despite sourcing white oak components from different suppliers, our team ensured a seamless match by employing innovative wood finishing
measures. Ten eight -foot -tall wood door slabs received top and bottom pivot hinges, aligning with the corridor paneling while swinging into the makerspace studio rooms. To accommodate the heavy
doors, we proposed and implemented a one -inch solid wood oak frame, eliminating the need for ten specified closing devices, resulting in budgetary savings.

Construction Management
Description of Project and Scope of Services:
This project was an interior renovation of five existing classrooms within the basement of "The Village of Riverside Glen"
in Guelph, Ontario. Completed as a CCDC SB Construction management project, the main scope was the creation of a
1000 sq.ft. skills laboratory for the students of Conestoga College's "Personal Support Worker" program. The laboratory
space was created to replicate an intensive care room in a clinical setting. Additional scope involved separating an
existing classroom into a student lounge and the above mentioned laboratory, two additional classrooms were also
renovated. These classrooms had plumbing reworked, new AV/IT systems installed and new finishes to the spaces. As
part of the work on-site N1 Construction Ltd. provided investigative services into existing conditions and provided
feedback to the landlord and consultants to assist in making economical choices in regards to plumbing layouts and to
minimize disruption of students and facilities.
Remarks:
Being our sixth project with the "Schlegel Villages", we were contacted at the early stages to facilitate time sensitive mini project within the building
while the main project was being designed. N1 Construction Ltd. assisted with design elements as well as small room demolition and painting while
students were on break. Once the drawings were completed, we produced a budget to construct a two phased renovation in two separate areas.
A long permit review and long lead door and door frames affected our anticipated start and our critical bath for completion but occupancy within
the phased work was completed within the expected time frames. N1 Construction Ltd.'s well seasoned staff was able to minimize disruptions by
effectively foreseeing and communicating issues which helped dictate the phasing plans and forecast the optimum start dates for all portions.

Description of Project and Scope of Services:
An interior renovation of a historic courthouse building to improve office space layout enhancing information flow, upgrade accessibility & restroom
fixtures, and bolster security with bulletproof glazing systems and an access control security system. The project began with the careful demolition
of selected walls and ceilings, recommendations were made to maximize soundproofing efforts created with the new ceiling installation. Abatement
remediation was conducted on asbestos- containing materials within the historic staircase before electrical, mechanical, and plumbing work
commenced. N1 Construction Ltd. completed the specifications for divisions 7 and 9 with their own forces. To ensure cohesiveness throughout the
space, a combination of re -purposed existing & newly sourced flooring was used.
A significant part of the project's scope involved enhancing integrated access control and upgrading workplace security to comply with the Region of
Waterloo's Health and Safety department requirements. Our team installed card access systems throughout the building, deployed several exterior
and interior cameras, and added duress and panic buttons to multiple workstations. All parts of the scope which required excess noise or disruption
to the staff required careful planning, requiring our staff to preform tasks during the evenings and early mornings. This expectation was very
prominent as long lead items arrive; resulting in evening work being completed for five months of the duration.
Remarks:
The project required fitting very heavy, hollow metal frames and doors into existing heritage arches, ensuring that every square inch offered bullet
resistance while maintaining the aesthetic continuity of the heritage architecture. A major challenge faced during this project was the lead time for
these custom bulletproof openings, which was 35 weeks, more than double the time needed for the rest of the renovation. To meet occupancy
requirements and keep the administrative offices operational during this waiting period, the team constructed temporary wood frames and installed
wood doors matching the dimensions of the final metal ones. This temporary solution also involved mounting the necessary security hardware onto the
wood doors until the arrival of the permanent bulletproof package. When the bulletproof frames, doors and partitions in February 2024, N1
Construction Ltd. staff coordinated with the different subcontractors involved (ie. Security and door automatics) to executive the replacement of the
temporary doors, frames and partitions with the permanent bulletproof doors, frames and partitions. This work was completed in the evenings and
early mornings, outside of the office inhabitants regular business hours of Sam — 4:30pm.

Construction Management
Description of Project and Scope of Services:
This Construction Management project finalized at a value of $385,000. Our client moved their existing business to new larger unfinished industrial unit which
was completed to include an all-new office space on an enlarged mezzanine above a training center, and associated amenities for hosting a classroom setting
directly below. The non-combustible mezzanine was extended by 13' adding 650 sq ft to the existing 800 sq ft of floor space taking it from roughly one third of
the industrial unit's floor area to nearly half. The load bearing wall of the old mezzanine was replaced by a 45' beam with a column and footing. Two large
restrooms, one in which conforming to universal and barrier free standards, with all new underground plumbing was added on the main floor with an
ambulatory accessible bathroom added directly above. The stair location to the upper level was moved & cut into the existing portion of the mezzanine allowing
the straight access from the front door to the high-end office space. A glass railing and glass office walls were installed for elegance and natural light.
Kitchenettes were added on both levels with full height thin brick veneer accents around the cabinets & accent points. Mechanical requirements allotted for
new heat pump to temper the classroom, with condenser installed on the roof. A new ERV was installed to exhaust bathrooms & provide code compliant
ventilation air into the occupied spaces.
Our executive lead's, Neil Duncan, role began in the preconstruction phase, overseeing sub trade site visits and handling contract inquiries. Working alongside
the Sr. PM, the accelerated trade and construction schedules were proposed and distributed.
Remarks:
During the design process, collaboration with the owner and interior designer was essential to achieve their 'contemporary industrial'vision. Key contributions included suggesting brick
veneer accents and faux steel arches and selecting a demountable glass wall and door system which balanced both aesthetic goals and budget considerations. Sourcing project -specific
labor presented challenges throughout the project. The initial metals fabricator for the stair handrail was unable to complete the job due to time constraints, leading to a negotiated
solution involving on-site measurements and installation assistance. Due to high demand, competitive quotes for the drywall and steel stud package were unattainable, which lead to
N1 Construction Ltd.'s own forces managing and installing the package themselves. A mason was sourced for the complex brick veneer work, and connections from previous projects
were used for the demountable wall system. As the project evolved, the site supervisor, Matthew Bester, acted as the point of contact between consultants, subtrades, and Nl
Construction Ltd. staff. Ongoing communication with the structural engineer and city officials addressed complex drawings and design changes. Building positive relationships with
inspectors and officials was emphasized to meet or surpass regional and OBC regulations. Matthew assumed full responsibility for the job, delegating tasks, solving problems, and
enforcing Health and Safety policies. Adherence to the work plan schedule ensured timely and high-quality task completion. Subtrades were managed and scheduled in advance to
retain their services when needed. Managerial duties included documenting task completion, identifying deficiencies, and scheduling regular site meetings with owners and consultants
to ensure quality standards. Analyzing and accommodating client needs and changes, relevant information was directed to the project manager to assist in change order processes.

Design -Bid -Build
Description of Project and Scope of Services:
This design -bid -build project (awarded value of $416,000) was constrained to the nine -week student summer break. There were two main
scopes that ran concurrently. On the exterior, which had the longest critical path, a 150' length of wall was stripped back to the block structure
for a new building envelope. After brick removal, new installation included an all-new parapet made of steel Z-girts anchored off the side of the
upper block wall starting at the head of window. Following new proper flashings and applied spray foam, 30+ windows were replaced. Then
three new claddings were installed: brick at the base, corrugated steel siding between windows and fluted steel siding up the parapet Z-girts.
Interiorly, new accessibility upgrades to the special needs classroom and bathrooms were completed, optimizing the space to allow one large
fully accessible barrier -free universal bathroom and one small staff washroom. The existing flooring within the classroom, along with the
caulking around the windows, required proper abatement. Our scope included the coordination of several hollow metal frames/doors and
associated hardware including electronic remotely controlled/timed security devices and an automatic door operator and emergency call kit for
the universal washroom.
Remarks:
During this project N1 Construction Ltd. completed a redesign of the existing parapet, this redesign ensured minimal
exposure of the room and allowed us to re -seal the building envelope quickly. N1 Construction Ltd. also proposed
the use of steel for the window framing, this made the installation of the windows easier and more effective for the
window installers. N1 Construction Ltd. recommended the use of cement board within the universal washroom as
area was to be in contact with moisture. We also encountered issues with long lead door item that we were able to
rectify and still install the door on schedule. All of the work completed for the Elma Township Public school was done
in a manor to ensure that our work would not be effected by the opening of school.

Design -Bid -Build
Description of Project and Scope of Services:
This design -bid -build project (awarded value of $416,000) was constrained to the nine -week student summer break. There were two main
scopes that ran concurrently. On the exterior, which had the longest critical path, a 150' length of wall was stripped back to the block structure
for a new building envelope. After brick removal, new installation included an all-new parapet made of steel Z-girts anchored off the side of the
upper block wall starting at the head of window. Following new proper flashings and applied spray foam, 30+ windows were replaced. Then
three new claddings were installed: brick at the base, corrugated steel siding between windows and fluted steel siding up the parapet Z-girts.
Interiorly, new accessibility upgrades to the special needs classroom and bathrooms were completed, optimizing the space to allow one large
fully accessible barrier -free universal bathroom and one small staff washroom. The existing flooring within the classroom, along with the
caulking around the windows, required proper abatement. Our scope included the coordination of several hollow metal frames/doors and
associated hardware including electronic remotely controlled/timed security devices and an automatic door operator and emergency call kit for
the universal washroom.
Remarks:
During this project N1 Construction Ltd. completed a redesign of the existing parapet, this redesign ensured minimal
exposure of the room and allowed us to re -seal the building envelope quickly. N1 Construction Ltd. also proposed
the use of steel for the window framing, this made the installation of the windows easier and more effective for the
window installers. N1 Construction Ltd. recommended the use of cement board within the universal washroom as
area was to be in contact with moisture. We also encountered issues with long lead door item that we were able to
rectify and still install the door on schedule. All of the work completed for the Elma Township Public school was done
in a manor to ensure that our work would not be effected by the opening of school.

Description of Project and Scope of Services:
The purpose of this project was to replace the sunken interior slab and address the underlying causes of the settlement. The work began with
site preparation, including securing the area and installing hoarding to create a safe workspace while protecting the remaining portion of the
classroom. Existing lab benches and millwork were removed to facilitate slab demolition. An abatement process followed to remove
asbestos -containing materials (ACMs), such as floor tiles and mastic glue. Once abatement was complete, N1 Construction Ltd. proceeded with
the slab removal, cutting it into sections for efficient disposal in waste bins. After the slab was fully removed, geotechnical engineers assessed
the soil conditions. During this phase, new mechanical and plumbing infrastructure was installed to replace the systems embedded in the
original slab, ensuring compatibility with the lab benches. Based on geotechinical engineer's recommendations, new granular material was
brought in, compacted, and prepared as the sub -base. Rebar was drilled and epoxied into the remaining concrete to support the new slab. Once
the slab was installed, new flooring and baseboards matching the existing finishes were applied. The previously removed millwork and lab
benches were then reinstalled. In addition to the slab replacement, the project also included the replacement of three sets of fire rated double
doors in the gym area. 0
Remarks:
Every school project presents unique complexities, and this undertaking was no different. The most significant challenge was navigating a tight
timeline, as all work needed to be completed within the limited window of the students' summer break. With abatement scheduled during the
first week and custodial staff requiring the final week to prepare for the upcoming school year, we had just six weeks to complete the entire
project.A key component of the work was installing a new concrete slab, which needed to be poured early enough to allow for proper curing
before the application of finishes. Despite the tight schedule, favorable soil conditions proved to be a fortunate advantage. These conditions
allowed us to address necessary corrections far more efficiently than anticipated, helping us stay on track and deliver the project on time.

Description of Project and Scope of Services:
This project involved upgrading an existing universal washroom by adding a barrier -free shower. The washroom already met size
requirements, so we focused on installing the necessary plumbing to accommodate the new shower with a barrier -free entrance.
The shower was equipped with all required grab bars and accessories for accessibility. Both the floor and walls of the shower
were tiled, and we installed a new drywall ceiling to enhance the space.
Additionally, we replaced an existing set of double doors with a new configuration, featuring a 40 -inch door and a 34 -inch door,
both with lites. To further improve accessibility, a power door operator (PDO) was installed on the 40 -inch door, providing
barrier -free access to the portable classrooms at the rear of the building.
The scope of work also included converting an existing storage room into a sensory room, enhancing the facility's functionality
and inclusivity.
Remarks:
This project was successfully completed over the summer break. One key challenge was managing
lead times for the new exterior doors, which required careful planning to integrate into the
construction schedule. Despite this, we ensured that the bathroom renovations were completed on
time, meeting the critical deadline before the start of the new school year.

Description of Project and Scope of Services:
This project involved extensive interior and exterior structural restoration. It began with the complete removal of all existing interior finishes and items from an abandoned
building still filled with contents. The scope included replacing a 45' long by 40'taII masonry wall with new ShouIdice architectural block. Additionally, the compromised main floor
was replaced with new structural steel beams, columns, and wood floor trusses after demolition revealed its instability. We also added a new second floor, incorporating
additional structural steel and new exterior load-bearing walls with 16" deep wood floor trusses. In the basement, we installed 12 new 10" thick pad footings and a 20" wide strip
footing along the interior perimeter, along with additional foundation drainage to prevent water intrusion.
This project focused solely on structural restoration due to concerns about the building's integrity in several areas. The additional work, including the main floor replacement, new
strip footings in the basement, and foundation drainage, amounted to $50,000 and was added after the project commenced. On this project we were the general contractor,
overseeing and managing the entire project from start to finish. We hired and coordinated subcontractors for specific tasks, including the construction of the new masonry wall,
installation of structural steel columns and beams, and some minor electrical and mechanical demolition. We ensured site workers health and safety. We created and managed
the project schedule for completing the restoration. We self -performed all demolition, concrete, and framing work required for the project. Once we completed the initial
demolition, which involved removing all existing finishes, we assessed the building's structural condition. Collaborating with the project engineer, B.M. Ross, we developed
solutions for the deteriorated structure. This led to an expanded scope, including the removal of the existing main floor structure and all existing load-bearing masonry walls in the
basement, creating a more open basement layout and improving the overall building integrity.
Remarks:
This restoration project involved a complex renovation with an in-depth demolition phase. We had to engage our own engineer to design temporary
shoring for the main floor and the masonry wall being removed. This project included intricate construction details, particularly the various types of floor
trusses that had to be designed to maximize available floor space. We collaborated closely with our truss manufacturer to ensure each floor was built true,
plumb, and square.
This project was a collaborative effort involving the town's retained engineer, the town's facilities management team, and our team. As the scope changed
halfway through the project, we needed to be flexible with the schedule and coordinate it with our other ongoing projects. We consider this project highly
relevant to high/very high complexity projects due to the replacement of significant structural components. Once completed, the entire structure of the
existing building will be reinforced with the new substructure we are creating on the interior.

Construction Management
Description of Project and Scope of Services:
This project aims to modernize the elevator service in a college residence building with a focus on
updating the surrounding infrastructure without altering the elevator itself. Key components of the work
include the construction of a new elevator machine room, installation of a new air conditioning unit, and
the addition of necessary condensation work. Electrical servicing, including fire alarm, will also be
updated.
The modernization will enhance the overall performance and safety of the elevator system, providing
improved comfort and reliability for residents while maintaining the integrity of the existing elevator.
Remarks:
Due to the absence of a formal tender process, the project required an in-depth site review and
scope clarification throughout the quoting process. These steps were crucial to ensure an accurate
and comprehensive understanding of the project requirements and to mitigate any potential
challenges during execution or cost overruns.
