A panel of expert female professionals from Atwill-Morin
The panel dedicated to the renovation of multi-residential buildings highlighted the expertise of three field professionals from Atwill-Morin, who shared their experience and insights on the industry’s current challenges.
Marie Lanouette, estimator, along with Nataly Cortes and Catherine Caron, both engineers and project managers, discussed concrete issues related to building renovation and the long-term sustainability of the housing stock.
The discussions focused in particular on the protection of residential heritage and balcony restoration, highlighting the importance of early detection as an investment lever. The panelists also addressed logistics adapted to occupied buildings, structural rehabilitation of balconies, as well as wear prevention and lifespan extension of building components, within an approach centred on safety and durability.
A second segment explored the “rejuvenation” of buildings and their multi-level parking structures, including façade and structural rehabilitation, parking structure restoration, as well as waterproofing and water management challenges. A phased approach, the use of innovative materials, and user safety were also emphasized as key factors in ensuring the long-term durability of infrastructure.
Finally, the discussions addressed the renovation of multi-residential buildings as a whole, highlighting solutions tailored to client needs and the specific constraints of each structure. Work execution based on site conditions and project complexity, safety at the core of operations, and an approach focused on performance and sustainability were widely discussed.
