Common-area renovations for housing co-ops and condominiums

Abrita Construction supports housing co-operatives, condominium associations and property managers with shared-space renovations in Montreal, the South Shore and the North Shore.

Scope focuses on shared areas and building interventions. Board decisions, resident needs and access constraints should be brought together before construction is prepared.

What we take care of

  • Shared lobby and corridor renovations
  • Finishes in collective rooms and spaces
  • Coordination of base building work
  • Exterior restoration and corrections defined by professionals

Preparing a documented decision

Drawings, available reports and work lists help clarify scope for decision-makers. Identify priorities, optional items and the person authorized to approve changes. The organization’s decision process should be accounted for in the preparation schedule.

Planning around residents

Access to units, shared circulation and construction hours should be discussed with the building representative. Resident communications draw on a schedule of expected interventions. Protection and temporary closures depend on the work and available access.

Connecting phases to building needs

A lobby renovation may be separate from envelope work or deficiency corrections. Where they overlap, work should be coordinated to avoid redoing recent finishes. Professional reports help establish required interventions before aesthetic improvements are selected.
