The
stunning B-Line condominium development could not have been completed
in its current form by any firm other than SkyRise Prefab Building
Solutions in Toronto. There were three primary factors that had to be
weighed and considered: the desire of client/developer Marco De Simone
of Royalpark Homes for a continuous insulation solution; the need to
accommodate a complex design with multiple finishes; and the tight,
constricted job site. In the end, only SPBS offered an option that
satisfied all the client’s needs: a continuous insulation panel system
with many aesthetic selections. With the panel technology and SPBS,
there was one manufacturer and one complete solution. To offer his
condominium residents premium comfort and maximum efficiency in the
harsh Toronto climate, developer Marco De Simone viewed a continuous
insulation solution as essential. However, according to SkyRise Prefab
Vice President of Business Development John Sopta, due to the site
constraints, the only continuous insulation solution that could work for
the project was a prefabricated panel.
“Site logistics made it
impossible to do any sort of field-applied work there on the exterior
envelope,” Sopta explains. “You can’t even get in there with a Baker’s
scaffold; forget about setting up the requirements for doing other
field-applied work. It’s just not possible. The premium prefab products
made that possible for them in the City of Toronto.”
