Restoration Planning

Restoration planning transforms overwhelming masonry projects into manageable phases, optimizing budgets while ensuring critical repairs happen before minor issues become major failures. Comprehensive planning involves condition assessment documenting all issues, prioritizing repairs by safety and deterioration risk, researching appropriate materials and techniques, obtaining necessary permits and approvals, and scheduling work for optimal weather conditions. In Ontario, planning must account for temperature restrictions limiting masonry work, heritage designations requiring special approvals, and coordination with other building maintenance. Phased approaches allow spreading costs over multiple years while addressing urgent issues immediately. Poor planning leads to repeated mobilization costs, incompatible repairs requiring future correction, and missed opportunities for cost-saving coordination.
