Technical Innovation : The project had a very tight completion date of 6 months before occupancy. "I have found Shelter to be a very accommodating contractor, working with the owner and consultants in a team spirit to overcome obstacles and help complete the project on time and within budget. Shelter appears to have a good understanding of a learning institution's particular needs and works diligently to satisfy them. Construction problems were kept to a minimum and very few change orders were required. At the planning stages of the project, I had researched Shelter's background and found their reputation to be very sound among past clients. After completing this project, I would add my recommendation and not hesitate to work with Shelter in the future," says Erik Grafstrom, Development Manager, SFU.
