concept, and that the operators might see fit to change the layout in the
future if it turned out that would better suit their needs. By installing a
demountable wall system, the company made sure they had that option.
In addition to the thoughtful design, Jules also credits the success of the
project to the company’s roster of subcontractors and tradespeople.
Working under Evolve Design | Build’s model is different than the typical
model of working directly for the client, but Jules says they all adapted and
performed extremely well.
“It was amazing to see how everyone worked incredibly well together
under our leadership,” she says. “We had HVAC guys lending electrical
guys their ladders, and we had electrical guys holding up a piece of
millwork for the millworkers.”
“They were all working together, and my experience in construction is
that’s very rarely the case,” she adds. “But by the end of the project, they
were all saying how amazing it was to work in this structure. They were
crucial to the project’s success.”
Jules also credits the client on the project, the CHMA in Kelowna. Without
their vision and trust, Jules says, none of it would have been possible.
The CHMA, in turn, have equally high praise for Evolve Design | Build – for
the quality of their work, and for the efficacy of their process.
“Working with Jules and the team at Evolve as an absolute pleasure,”
