Construction of an IKEA in Quebec City
Commercial
Quebec City, QC, CA
The Pomerleau National Cup rewards a project that was successfully completed during the previous year. This award aims to encourage excellence and promote best practices in innovation, creativity, occupational health and safety (OHS), and quality.
For its very first edition, last April, the National Pomerleau Cup highlighted the excellent work accomplished by the team responsible for the creation of the 14th IKEA store in Canada (the first in Quebec City).
This project won the hearts of the jury, made up of Pomerleau vice-presidents. Indeed, this is a perfect example of a masterfully carried out project, according to the most rigorous standards in the industry.
The high level of expertise, attention to detail, and respect for costs have enabled this project to be a total success. Our team was able to get the job done on time, with passion and openness, while being aware of security, expectations, and standards specific and specific to the project.
There are several reasons for this success:
- A very high commitment in OHS and quality on the part of the project manager and the superintendent.
- Active involvement on the part of subcontractors and suppliers.
- Pre-construction meetings carried out on a recurring basis with the various project stakeholders (partners, professionals, suppliers, expertise laboratory, and customers).
- Close follow-ups to meet very tight turnaround times.
- A clearly defined quality and OHS process, combined with rigorous processing of documentation.
Thus, the IKEA Quebec project perfectly represents what the Pomerleau experience is: a perfect synergy has been created between the stakeholders, the schedule, OHS, quality, and cost management. But to get there, we had to create a good climate of mutual aid and collaboration.
The cooperation of the Pomerleau team and its partners has been more than exceptional! The client was performing monthly OHS audits and loved our management methods, as well as our proactivity. The CNESST has also recognized this project as an example to follow.
One thing is certain: the members of our family have not finished pushing the limits, and we can bet that the Pomerleau National Cup will reward many exceptional projects in the years to come!
