Cowichan Tribes Covid Units

THE FACTS

Location: Cowichan Tribes

Client: Cowichan Tribes Band

Size: Each unit 160 sq ft

THE PROJECT

The EC Group was contracted by Cowichan Tribes as Construction Manager utilizing CCDC-5B to address a housing crisis with a tight schedule. Ultimately, we proceeded with unique panabode style structures. Typically suited for recreational use, these units were upgraded with insulation, electrical and plumbing to meet all local codes.

Addressing Housing Crisis with Panabode Style Structures

Part of the project also required minimal site presence, so the units were constructed by EC forces and trades off-site and delivery coordinated after most of the construction was complete. EC was able to manage this project amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic. We implemented necessary protocols to ensure the safety of staff and community in the vicinity of this project.

Building Resilience Amidst Challenges

The EC Group performed all site prep and underground servicing as well as delivery of the units with minimal impact on the surrounding residents. The units blend in naturally with the existing property and were able to be placed with minimal impact to the existing landscape and trees.
