Project Highlights
- On Time and On Budget: One of the most significant achievements of this project was its adherence to the timeline and budget. Despite the project’s complexity, Tree Streets Electrical successfully met all deadlines, ensuring the project was completed on time and within the allocated budget. This meticulous planning and execution highlight our commitment to delivering reliable and efficient services.

Our team ensured that the connection process was smooth and efficient, avoiding any potential delays or complications. This seamless integration underscores our capability to handle large-scale electrical connections with precision and expertise.
- Redesigned Electrical Room: A notable highlight of this project was the innovative redesign of the large electrical room. Collaborating closely with Falcon Engineering, Tree Streets Electrical played a pivotal role in reimagining the electrical room layout to optimize space and functionality. This redesign not only improved the efficiency of the electrical system but also showcased our ability to provide creative and practical solutions.
- New 3-Phase Power Supply: The installation of a new 3-phase power supply was another key aspect of this project. This new supply ensured that the building’s substantial electrical demands were met efficiently. By implementing this robust power supply system, we enhanced the overall electrical infrastructure, guaranteeing reliable and consistent power distribution.
- Comprehensive Electrical Work: Tree Streets Electrical took full responsibility for all aspects of the electrical work involved in this project. From power distribution and civil works to electrical rough-in and finishing, every phase was meticulously handled by our skilled team. Importantly, no subcontractors were involved, which allowed us to maintain strict quality control and ensure the highest standards of workmanship throughout the project.
Challenges Faced
- Consultation with BC Hydro: One of the primary challenges was the ongoing consultation with BC Hydro. Ensuring that there were no project delays and that the work was done correctly the first time required constant communication and coordination. Our proactive approach and effective communication strategies were crucial in navigating this challenge successfully.
- Collaborative Design Changes: Another significant challenge was working with civil, structural, and architectural engineers to negotiate design changes and facilitate change orders as the project progressed. This collaborative effort was essential in addressing unforeseen issues and adapting to evolving project requirements. Our flexibility and ability to work seamlessly with various stakeholders ensured that these challenges were managed efficiently.
- Team Effort and Resource Management: The project was completed by a dedicated team of two full-time electricians, with additional support from two part-time electricians and one machine operator. Managing a project of this scale with a relatively small team was a testament to the skill, dedication, and efficiency of Tree Streets Electrical. This accomplishment highlights our ability to deliver exceptional results even with limited resources.
