Toronto is constantly growing with new multiplex conversions across the city. While these developments contribute to the city’s growth, they can present challenges when it comes to maintaining relationships with local communities during the construction. At Plexcon Construction, we focus on cultivating positive connections with neighbors, tradespeople, and city officials to ensure a smooth and respectful construction process.
Community Impact
We understand that construction work can be disruptive for local residents, with increased environment noise, heavier traffic, and the arrival of unfamiliar workers next door. When developers overlook these potential impacts on neighborhoods, tensions can quickly build. That’s why we approach each project with care and have a dedicated representative working to reduce disruptions through thoughtful planning and strong community engagement.
Proactive Communication with Neighbors
From our very first meeting with City inspectors, we are made aware of frequent issues encountered during construction—noise, untidy worksites, and frustrated neighbors. We prevent these problems by taking a proactive stance and personally introduce our supervisors and managers to nearby residents, provide contact details, and promote open communication before any construction is initiated. This approach helps us address concerns early, preventing them from escalating further.
Collaboration with Trades and City Officials
We’re committed to being transparent beyond just the community. We collaborate closely with tradespeople and city officials to keep projects running efficiently while minimizing disruption. Although some noise is inevitable during construction, we find the best options to ease the burden on the neighborhood, such as adjusting work hours.
Building Trust with the Community
One of the key reasons tensions arise during construction is when people feel their concerns aren’t being heard. At Plexcon, we don’t just listen—we proactively address community issues and concerns as soon as possible to show that they matter. We want to show our commitment to building trust and foster strong relationships with nearby residents.
Leaving On A Positive Note
By prioritizing respectful communication and transparency throughout our process, we aim to leave a positive and lasting impression that enhances both the project and our company’s reputation.
At Plexcon Construction, we believe that a successful multiplex conversion is not just about constructing buildings, it’s also about building positive relationships.
