LEADERS IN QUALITY COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION AND RENOVATIONS
SERVICES
Design Build
Increasingly clients are opting for our design-build method of construction. Under this partnership, Solivia takes responsibility for providing the complete project from design to construction.
With our network of trusted construction professionals combined with our technical capabilities our design-build approach provides numerous advantages to our clients:
-
A single source of accountability, contract and contact for the entire project.
-
Improved communications and goodwill as one team sees the project through to completion.
-
Increased quality control through earlier identification and elimination of design errors or omissions.
-
Reduced timelines and costs as there is no need for the bidding process or waiting until the design is complete to begin construction.
General Contracting
Solivia's general contracting services are the backbone on which we have built our business. Our in-house general contracting team has delivered hundreds of successful projects via the traditional bid-build method.
From securing permits to the day-to-day management of trades, materials and schedules, to the final punch list, we have the skills, experience, equipment, and financial strength to complete any project on schedule and on budget.
Construction Management
Solivia’s construction management team is composed of some of the most highly skilled and respected veteran builders in Western Canada who understand the intricacies of developing and implementing complex, multi-phased projects.
From inception to completion, we work closely with every member of the project team to develop effective communication feedback loops as well as establish clear roles and expectations.
Utilizing state of the art scheduling software we are able to streamline the construction process and maximize resource efficiency by accurately coordinating and controlling all aspects of a project, including documents, submittals, change orders, client communications, subcontractor and supplier costs and schedules.
Pre Construction Planning
Planning is paramount to the success of any construction project. By creating accurate and detailed design documents before construction begins, we can mitigate many of the factors that can hinder construction and escalate costs. When you engage Solivia to work with you to develop a functional and financially viable project, you are gaining experienced estimating professionals with an extensive knowledge base of project costing, historical data and current market trends, as well as the most innovative estimating technology that provides real time information.

Value Engineering
At Solivia we view Value Engineering (VE) as a powerful problem-solving tool that can reduce initial and life-cycle costs while maintaining or improving performance and quality of a project. Following the widely recognized SAVE International procedures, we work closely with project team members to establish a VE process that utilizes their knowledge and experience to analyze each element of the design based on what the product or service does in relation to the money spent on it. By working together we can increase the performance, quality, reliability, and safety of your project as well as minimize or eliminate materials, components, or processes that add to a building’s cost without contributing to its function, ensuring that the best value is obtained over the life of the building.
Along with cost saving, value engineering offers opportunities to explore alternatives. We can provide identification of client’s value objectives which can lead to fewer project change orders or redesigns, and a reduction in project errors/omissions. This also allows for increased safety and quality of projects.
