Sherbrooke Seniors' and Alternative Home

Designed as a true living environment, the Sherbrooke Seniors' and Alternative Home offers an approach that moves away from the traditional institutional model. Built jointly by HUDL (Construction Longer) and EBC for the Société québécoise des infrastructures, the facility accommodates 120 residents in 10 households designed to provide a warm, flexible environment adapted to their various needs. The project also incorporates several environmental practices aimed at achieving LEED certification.

The challenge

The project combined two realities that required particularly intensive coordination. On one hand, the Integrated Design Process (IDP) and the BIM approach required close collaboration between professionals and specialized contractors around 3D modeling. On the other hand, the fast-track delivery method split the work into some thirty packages awarded progressively through public tenders. Every delay or adjustment could therefore have an impact on upcoming sequences and, ultimately, on the date the first residents could move in.

Our approach

As construction manager, the EBC-Longer consortium ensured continuous coordination between design, modeling, and the execution of the various packages. The schedule was adjusted as documents and tenders progressed, allowing teams to review certain sequences and prioritize the interventions necessary to keep the project on track.

Results

The first residents were able to move in in November 2022, in accordance with the planned schedule. Beyond the delivery of the building, this project helped create a living environment adapted to their daily lives and marked an important milestone for HUDL (Construction Longer), as it was its first public project carried out under construction management, in addition to consolidating its experience in BIM and the integrated design process.
