Little Mountain

Vancouver, BC

JRS Engineering was retained to provide building envelope consulting services for the design and construction of Little Mountain. This complex is a 3-storey multi-residential modular building. Modular construction is a technique that builds through modules that are manufactured off-site. The modules are then transported to site and joined together to make one integrated building. Once the modules are assembled, and the integration is complete, the structure is virtually indistinguishable from those built by traditional construction methods.

JRS consulted on the envelope design and construction with respect to environmental separation and the performance of materials, components, and assemblies. We addressed air, moisture, and precipitation control issues related to walls, glazing, roofing, waterproofing, and interfaces between building envelope components.
