HOW WE DO IT

Most of our finishing work is completed off-site in our fabricating facility.  

On-site "conventional" work, including sites services, underground parking, surface parking, elevator/stairwell core and commercial/retail pedestal is performed concurrently with off-site fabrication - to reduce overall completion time.

This allows  us to repeatedly manufacture mixed use mid-rise and high-rise buildings which are a:

• standard repeatable design,
• highly energy efficient,
• built faster,
• at a lower cost,
• with higher & more consistent quality

Once all the modules for the building are finished inside and out, they are shipped from our off-site fabricating facility to the building site for placement around a conventionally constructed central elevator, stairwell and utility services core at a rate of about 5 to 10 modules per day including utility services connections.  Each floor is completed in about  1 week. 

Each floor is assembled on site,

in days , rather than months

• mitigating weather issues, 
• reducing  construction traffic, 
• minimizing road closures
• reducing construction waste

3 proprietary "standard" steel modules

facilitate an appropriate mix of suites in a standard building floor-plate

to serve diverse demographics

6 standard suite floor plans include:

Studio

One Bedroom

One Bedroom + Den

Two Bedroom

Two Bedroom + Den

3 Bedroom

The same standard (repeatable) floor-plate

is used to for buildings engineered for:

up to 21 storeys

(keeping design costs low

and completion times short)

seismic regions up to Zone 5

(the highest in Canada)

forest fire and smoke tolerant

(non-combustible exterior finishes)

energy efficient air tight construction

(75% heat recovery air exchange system)

The residential tower can be sited on a:

slab on grade

commercial retail pedestal

with or without:

underground parking

surface parking

At Mercidian we have committed to become intimately familiar with and responsible for every aspect of our developments, from concept to occupancy and beyond, to control costs and provide a a high standard of quality.

Our services include:

• land acquisition, 
• building design, 
• off-site manufacturing of building modules,
• on-site placing and connecting of the building modules
• project management, 
• general contracting.

as well as conventional construction of: 

• underground parkades,
• commercial/retail pedestal
• elevator, stairwell & utility services core

and we also provide:

• in-house marketing services
• in-house sales and rental services
• property management services
• building maintence services

Technology Licensing & Support Services

are available for developers or builders

in other geographic regions

We construct new, affordable homes

• in a controlled environment,
• with skilled trades
• to a high degree of precision and 
• of consistent quality.

We don't construct "cheap" homes, we construct "affordable" homes, that take into account both the short term cost of acquisition and the long term cost of ownership.
