Fighting fires is dangerous, demanding and taxing work. There is no room for compromise. As general contractor on the Meadowood Firehall, AFC’s approach was also one without compromise – precise, thoughtful construction, finished on-time and on-budget, and with a goal of enhancing operational efficiency.

This post-disaster, public assembly firehall is a hybrid design featuring conventional framing and a pre-engineered, metal building. Emergency-services buildings demand exacting attention to detail, and this specification-orientated job was no exception. While the building itself is not overly complicated, it’s the small details that really matter.

Throughout the construction processes, AFC worked closely with the firefighters and their board of directors, as well as the regional district to ensure every element of the building was thoughtfully planned and constructed.

This was an important community project made possible by the same commitment to volunteering that’s on display by the individuals that staff the firehall everyday. The finished building was opened in time for Canada Day, July 1st 2009, to rave reviews.
