The Davies construction continues to reach new heights. As our drone looks North, you can see we are now starting the third floor. As the drone flies around the site, you can see the East vista or West beyond Avenue Road and enjoy the beautiful tree-lined neighbourhood in the background.

The Davies construction program is picking up speed. As our drone flies down, you can see the garage ramp at the south. Continuing into the site from the east, sheer walls, exit stair enclosures, columns, and elevator shafts are being prepared or already formed. Formwork has started for the ceiling/floor at ground/second. Infrastructure electrical and mechanical work continues below and above grade.

Things are starting to take shape. As our drone pilot surveys the project, you can see the main driveway entrance ramp has now been formed and cast. Vertical formwork is started for the south ramp walls. The private and service elevator cores are complete to the underside of the ground floor slab. Rebar steel and formwork have been started for the thickened ground floor structural transition slab. Preparations are underway at the main entrance planters and north garage connections.
Update Three: August 2019

As our drone flies down into the construction site, garage level P2, concrete floor finishers are utilizing a machine known as a helicopter. This helps to stabilize the concrete and create a level surface. The final zoom shows the P3 elevator lobby taking shape along with exit stairs. Concrete formwork as well as mechanical/electrical rough-in continues.
Update Two: July 17th, 2019
The one metre deep concrete raft is nearing completion. The raft adds weight to the complex and will serve as a monolithic footing for the entire building. A drainage system and granular layer will be installed on top of the raft before we pour the slab-on-grade of the P3 parking level. Columns and walls are being formed and poured which will support the building as well as the next parking level and ramp. The next major milestone for the project is completion of the concrete formwork of the underground garage. There are additional thickened concrete transition slabs which will facilitate the custom finishes of our discerning home owners. Each of these is also considered a schedule milestone. It is projected that we will be forming the roof slab during late winter.
Update One: July 4th, 2019
The one meter deep concrete raft slab along with the elevator pits have been completed. The raft will serve as the slab-on-grade of the P3 parking level. Columns are being formed and poured which will support the suspended slab of the P2 parking deck.
