Project Description

Alliance Francaise de Vancouver (AFV) is building a Cultural Centre, with more classrooms, a bigger resources center for students and members, a real performance space, gallery space, and leased commercial space at street level. The project consists of demolishing the existing 8,500 sf facility and replacing it with a larger, purpose-built educational and cultural facility of about 30,000 sf to accommodate the growing community demand for its education and cultural programming.

RAM’s Role

In late September 2022, RAM assumed the role of Owner’s Representative on behalf of AFV. Due to the complexities of the project, and ongoing delays, AFV retained RAM as Owner’s Representative in the function of Construction Management Specialists to advise on the recommended path forward in support of AFV’s interests. RAM’s responsibilities include:

• Coordination meetings with client
• Technical reports and documentation
• Risk Planning and mitigation workshops
• Quality Management services
• Commercial support for project changes and change orders
• Progress Claim Reviews
