Heatherbrae’s fee for Construction Management and General Requirements (Division 01 Services) is 2.25% of construction budget (yet to be determined) and $3,057,640 for General Requirements. Heatherbrae issued a pre-qualifications request for Electrical, Mechanical, Concrete Formwork, Civil / Site Works, Structural Steel, and Tiling for the project in November 2023. That request has closed and an invitation to tender will be issues soon to successful prequalified subcontractors. If the budget is approved based on final quotes, construction could commence this summer with a 2 year timeline.
