Roof project

Project Overview

Nunattiaq completed roof remediation work on four Nunavut Housing Corporation 4-plex buildings located in Arviat and Sanirajak. The project involved removing the existing roofing systems, conducting mould abatement, replacing all damaged materials, and installing new roofing with improved venting details designed to prevent future moisture-related issues.

In addition to exterior work, interior renovations were completed to address areas impacted by water damage. A key aspect of this project was maintaining safe, livable conditions, as all units remained occupied throughout construction.

Project Execution

Delivering this project required detailed planning, coordination, and careful execution within active residential environments. Materials were staged and marine-crated in advance to align with sealift schedules, ensuring all required components arrived on site within the limited shipping window.

​

Pre-construction planning focused on material accuracy and sequencing, reducing the risk of delays once work began. During construction, the team maintained strict control over temperature and humidity levels within the units to protect interior conditions and ensure the effectiveness of remediation work.

​

Ongoing communication with residents was a critical part of the process. Work was carefully coordinated to minimize disruption while maintaining safety and comfort for occupants. Despite a short seasonal construction window, the project was completed efficiently through strong site management and clear coordination across all phases.

Key Outcomes

  • Successfully completed remediation and roofing upgrades across four occupied residential buildings

  • Improved building performance through updated venting systems and moisture control

  • Maintained safe and livable conditions for residents throughout construction

  • Efficiently managed logistics and material delivery within a limited sealift window
