Located north of the City of Kelowna, McKinley Beach is a private, lake-front community surrounded by gorgeous forests and green space. Thera residents will benefit from numerous indoor and outdoor amenities, lake access, and an exceptional sense of community.
Williams Engineering (WE) was retained to provide our building science engineering consulting services for the construction of the Thera at McKinley Beach development. The project is located in the master-planned community of McKinley Beach, Kelowna. The site is a 3.2-acre development site within a growing high-end neighborhood. Residents will benefit from with numerous amenities including a future clubhouse, immediate access to Okanagan Lake, and future winery.
Our services during the design period included building envelope and roofing design meetings and reviews, as well as specification and shop drawing reviews. We reviewed the building envelope and roofing detail drawings and specifications provided by the architect and provided architectural drawing markups with recommendations and comments regarding the building envelope systems and details. We reviewed building envelope shop drawings when requested, to confirm system suitability and constructability.
Our services during the construction period included site reviews of the building envelope, roofing, and foundation waterproofing systems, with a focus on the detailing of the air barrier, moisture barrier, construction joints, tie-ins between various building envelope components, and workmanship.
