About Us


Hallex has a history of responding to short lead times and this is one of the primereasons for the company’s success. In an ideal world, project timelines can be well-executed over an extended period of time, however, it is understood that Clientrequirements are typically not rooted in an ideal world. Equipment breakdowns,compressed schedules, protracted decision making and extended equipment deliveriesare all real world problems that need to be dealt with by Clients.

Hallex understands this and works with its Clients to reduce lead times whereverpossible. The following are several instances where this has taken place:

Weekend site visits in instances where Contractors’ have questions or Clientrequires project sign off prior to a Monday morning

Coordination with Niagara Health System in locating a temporary boiler for thePort Colborne site, late on a Friday night

After hours, in-house, multi-discipline coordination and drawing delivery formultiple projects

Responsiveness is key to project execution. Hallex maintains a 24 hour response timepolicy. In instances where 24 hours is an unacceptable response time, a promptresponse is ensured via cell phone contact with the project manager, Tom Keszthelyi,at 905-351-1590 (or email: [email protected]). Finally, the proximity of the projectmanager in our Niagara Falls office ensures timely attention to all matters.

Responsiveness to the Client’s needs to start projects quickly will be ensured by thefollowing:

Commitment by Hallex project manager to meet with Client representativewithin 24 hours at the onset of the project to review required timelines andcritical aspects of the project.

Review availability of information from third party’s to ensure this does notbecome a hindrance to project commitments.

Verification of Hallex’s schedule capabilities. Hallex’s internal schedulingprocess has become sophisticated over the years as the company has grown. Athorough understanding of all client requirements and Hallex resourceavailability (and schedule slack) is understood at all times. This enables quickconfirmation of project capability at any point in time.

U n d e r s t a n d i n g o f t h e P r o j e c t :

Munic ipa l Approva l s Exper ience :

The steps and procedures related to numerous approvals processes (Site Plan Agreement, municipal and regional agency coordination, Conservation Authority approval, Traffic Impact Studies, Storm-Water Management Reports etc.) are well-tread in our firm’s experience with various Ontario Municipalities including:

- Town of Fort Erie - City of St. Catharines - City of Thorold - City of Orillia - City of Orillia - Town of Milton - Town of Oakville - Town of Barrie - Township of the Lake of Bays - City of Welland - Town of Lincoln - City of Toronto - City of Port Colborne - County of Brant - Regional Municipality of Niagara - City of Niagara Falls

Our firm understands the timing implications of these necessary steps, including both duration of required approvals, and the proper sequencing of these steps to ensure that established timelines for Project Tendering are met.

Exper ience in the Pub l i c Sec tor Env i ronment : Having completed some 200 Public Sector projects, our firm is well-versed in the considerations unique to planning, designing and realizing construction projects in this sector including:

- demanding timelines - thorough documentation pathways - proof of due diligence - need for timeline conformance - detailed documentation keeping - observation of corporate policies - need for budget conformance - stakeholder input integration - consistency of accountability

While our methodologies for managing these considerations are outlined later herein, our successful delivery of projects in this sector is underscored by our 30-year history of practice in it.

A Range of F i re S ta t ion Des ign Exper ience: Having completed 10 new Fire Stations and 2 Fire Station Addition and Alteration projects for municipalities across Ontario (ranging from $550,000 to $6.0M in scale) the specifics of Fire Station design and planning are well-known to our firm. We understand the difference between volunteer and full-time facilities, those which are administrative vs. those which aren’t, and those which carry specialized program components (secure data centres, dispatch/call centres, emergency operations centres etc.). We realize that stations are (to varying degrees) community facilities. Some are deeply-embedded into residential neighbourhoods and reflect the physical fabric of their context, opening their doors to community functions. Some contain archival and historical display and attempt to be beacons of community pride. Others yet may be geographically removed, enabling them to be more utilitarian in nature. Regardless, our firm has designed stations of all types and scales, from modest to noteworthy, and from simple to specialized. This has enabled us to keenly understand the unique technical aspects common to post-disaster facilities, and their shared need for optimizing function and emergency response times coupled with an emphasis on quality, serviceability and enduring value.


D e s i g n C o n s i d e r a t i o n s f o r t h e B e a c h v i l l e E m e r g e n c y S e r v i c e s S t a t i o n 3 : Having reviewed the RFP, and having visited the site and its surrounding context, a variety of architectural design considerations which our firm envisions for the Beachville Emergency Services No. 3 might include:

• design which balances cost-effectiveness with functional and performance considerations

• design which appropriately reflects its rural and agrarian context • while being modest, the design might effectively employ roofline types and a material palettes conducive to its surroundings

(judicious use of masonry, commercial grade metal siding and roofing materials etc.) while also being distinctive as a civic facility • a pre-engineered building structure may offer benefits of cost-effectiveness and speed of construction

• siting and design of the new station to facilitate construction alongside the existing station (on the property to the south-east); ongoing operation of the existing facility will be maintained and move-in process to the new facility will be made easier

• selection of interior and exterior building materials which offer long-term durability, enduring value and ease of maintenance; as a volunteer facility, low-maintenance interior finishes and easily operated and maintained building systems are essential

• site design with vehicular parking provisions to accommodate volunteer contingent (typically more capacity than By-Law requirements)

• site design to accommodate outdoor staging of vehicles (for functions, routine cleaning etc.) in front of apparatus bay doors

• outdoor amenity space to accommodate gatherings, functions, training exercises, events etc.

• consideration for dark-sky compliant exterior lighting

• flexible design of interior spaces adaptable to a variety of functions and uses, including conversion of Training Room into an E.O.C. • investigate opportunity to involve local businesses in the construction and/or in routine maintenance needs of the final facility

• assessment of life-cycle costs (operational expenses, replacement timeframes) against initial capital expenditure dollars to assist the Owner in making informed up-front decisions

• public and stakeholder consultation throughout the design process via ‘Town Hall’ meetings or more limited involvement with an appointed representation group (Volunteer fire-fighters)

• effective justification reporting to Senior Administration at the Township and to Town Council • investigation of green technologies contributing to the efficiency and/or self-sufficiency of the building by reducing operating costs,

contributing to back-up power systems or by adding to the sustainability story of a rural community

Ultimately, our goal is to provide a facility which is readily accepted and valued by its community as a design which appropriately balances the considerations of cost and appearance along with function and performance. o

P r o j e c t A p p r o a c h :

At Panici Architect, we believe that the successful delivery of the completed project is as important as the design itself. Decades of experience in our industry have taught us how to effectively manage our Clients’ projects. Disciplined management throughout the project cycle ensures careful stewardship of the time and funds which the Client has committed to their facility. Some considerations of our Management Approach to Cost and Timing Control include the following:

Cost Control:

Q: What do we do to Monitor and Control Costs? A: Multiple activities among all Disciplines including:

• incorporating cost-management procedures from the earliest Project Stages and extending throughout the full project cycle

• assessment of the proposed Scope of Work against the available Budget at the outset of design for Order of Magnitude reconciliation (i.e. cross-checking the wish-list against the funds)

• use of Cost Consultants/ Quantity Surveyors to prepare ‘third-party’ Cost Estimates, progressively reconciling the design at numerous stages of development to the Approved Project Budget

• prepare Internal Cost Studies within the Architectural and Engineering Team based upon recently tendered projects and known construction values for similar/related work

• preparation of a thorough and complete set of Contract Documents to minimize Contractor extras during construction stage due to inadequately documented conditions

• expense control during construction with standard documentation (CCO’s, CO’s etc.) to monitor and track Contract expenses against Contingency Funds and/or Allowance Values and to update all related financial data on a monthly basis

• provide the Client with life-cycle options for building components offering operational or performance savings over time

Time Management: FACT: Time is an essential resource to our Clients, and construction projects can impact significantly on their staff and operations, even during the planning stages. Time management is therefore an essential aspect of project planning and success.

Project Schedule: Successful projects are predicated upon a realistic Project Schedule for design (Pre-Tender) and construction (Post-Tender) activities. All necessary project phases, development activities, and submissions to Authorities Having Jurisdiction must be allocated within actual calendar dates which uphold the Client’s timeline and completion date.

How We Formulate a Project Schedule...................... • work back from the Client's required Occupancy Date, scheduling

preceding steps from completion back to Project Start • factor in a proper Construction Window (too short = inflated

construction costs & unrealistic deadlines) • establish a reasonable Tender Period (too short discourages

Contractor participation and bidding) • determine submission dates to all Authorities Having Jurisdiction to

ensure that Building Permit and Site Plan Agreement approvals are in place prior to required construction start date

• list of all Design and Consulting Team activities prior to Project Tendering and schedule these steps against interim calendar dates

• Consultants are required to provide Services according to scheduled Interim Completion Dates for project stages and tasks

• all Members of the Project Consulting Team are required to commit staff resources and man hours required to achieve all interim completion deadlines

• Interim Project Update Meetings with the Client and Project Team are scheduled throughout the project cycle to keep all parties aware of emerging developments, to provide Progress Reports and to monitor completion of work against the set Project Schedule

At Panici Architect Inc., we believe that:

a responsive and responsible design solution is one which exists within the reality of an Approved Budget

Cost compliance is therefore seen largely as a factor of our ability to understand our Client's needs, and to provide the best-available solutions within their financial scope.


Project Approach (cont’d):

W orking M ethodology: We employ a Working Project Methodology which emphasizes: i) the Client as an integral Member of the

Project Team ii) a multi-disciplined Project Team offering a

comprehensive expertise and up-to-date professional resources

iii) the use of effective strategies for Cost Control & Time Management throughout the project

The ultimate objective of the Project Team is to provide the Client with a built-project which offers both quality and enduring value.

U ser-Friendly D esign:

• factors of user-friendliness affect how well the facility is adopted by users, supporting their daily functions • focus on design which creates a positive indoor environment, with clear pathways and wayfinding, practical relationships among program spaces etc. • integration of up-to-date barrier-free standards • site design which de-conflicts pedestrian routes and vehicular circulation wherever possible • building design to positively complement it’s surrounding neighbourhoods in scale, material palette, massing and architectural style

Security C onsiderations:

• effective security planning begins at the very outset of design • controlled points of entry and building circulation layout to enable effective monitoring • outdoor circulation routes, lighting and visual sight lines to contribute to a safe outdoor environment by

day and night with minimal areas for concealed illicit activities L ife-C ycle Value Analysis: • analysis of the relationship between initial capital expenditures for building finishes, materials, systems etc. against the long-term operational, maintenance and/or life-cycle replacement costs • short term (immediate) costs are weighed against long term (ongoing) expenses to provide a complete financial picture • life cycle value analysis becomes a primary component of Cost Control by weighing long-term operational savings against related capital expenditures for an improved fiscal perspective • also serves to provide a clear understanding or forecasting of future operational and maintenance costs

H ealthy Indoor Environm ent: • contemporary interior design must address considerations including natural and artificial lighting qualities, air quality control, and low VOC finishes important to the well-being of the occupants • air quality is a factor not only of HVAC performance, but also of the interior materials and finishes specified • studies reveal the positive effect of natural light on the developing minds and psychologies of children; optimal ‘daylight harvesting’ offers this benefit coupled with a reduction in operating costs for artificial lights • indoor material and finish selections must address factors of performance in conjunction with ability to deter micro-organic growth and to minimize VOC breakdown discharge over time

Environm ental & Sustainable D esign: • building siting, orientation and design to utilize any environmental opportunities (solar cycles, prevailing wind patterns) positively contributing to building functions (lighting, heating, ventilation, air-conditioning etc.) • building design to minimize impact on the site and surrounding natural context • local sourcing of materials to minimize energy-use and environmental impact caused by transportation to site • minimize operational energy-use through efficient building-envelope design & energy-efficient building systems • rain-water and grey-water collection systems for use in non-potable building applications • low-consumption plumbing systems to minimize water-use • consideration of landscape and site design (green roof systems, sitework berming, planting screens etc.) to positively contribute to building system operations • interior design considerations of finishes not relying upon chemical maintenance regimens • finish selections with low VOC impact to optimize indoor air-health index • consideration of substrate materials which also perform as final finishes • consideration of materials with re-cycled content and low embodied-energy • consideration of materials derived from renewable resources without offset implications on their local environment or related economies • consideration of materials with high thermal storage capacities for heat retention and release into the ambient environment • lighting control systems with motion sensors, photocells etc. to activate lights only as required • consideration of low-maintenance materials minimizing lifetime operational requirements


Project Approach (cont’d): Q uality C ontrol & Risk M anagem ent:

At Panici Architect, we understand that design aesthetics aside, it is the final built product which the Client and building occupants must live with. A building which offers cutting edge aesthetics without quality detailing to sustain it over time is ultimately a failed project.

As such, our firm stresses Services which offer our Clients: - sensible, practical and responsive design solutions

supported by: - quality design details which offer minimized maintenance

requirements, optimized system performance and longevity of building materials over the passage of time

Ultimately, our goal is to provide our Clients with: - a facility that offers them both quality and enduring value

and - a building design which accommodates not only present needs,

but one which continues to perform into the future (flexibly adapting to it) without undue demand on its Owner

In order for our firm to attain these objectives, a Program of Quality Assurance and Risk Management must first be in place. An effective quality assurance program will begin from the initial design stages and continue through to the completion of construction. It is supported by a Consulting Team committed to the success and quality of each project. An overview of our firm’s approach to quality control and risk management throughout the project stages is highlighted below:

Pre-Design Stage: - definition of project quality objectives - identification of staff responsibilities & quality control policies and

systems to be utilized

Design & Contract Documents Stage: - identification of quality concern items and establishment of systems for

their processing including input, review, output, validation and verification in the emerging design

- suggest means for development planning to track the integration of quality assurance items and applicable Building Commissioning criteria into the Contract Documents package

- preparation of thorough and detailed Contact Documents package to ensure construction conformance to expected/required standards

Tendering Stage: - qualitative evaluation of Contractor's inquiries and suggested

alternates throughout Tender stage

Tender Analysis & Construction Award: - qualitative assessment of any ‘Voluntary Alternates’ contained in

Tender Submissions for conformance to required quality standards prior to Contract Award

Construction Stage: - review/verification of Building Commissioning requirements at the

outset of Construction with the Contractor - institution of a Contract Administration and Site Review program to

assure quality control and Contract Document conformance throughout

- use of Senior Inspection Personnel from Architect’s Office and all related Engineering Consultants to review construction

- early review of quality control issues at Bi-Weekly Site Meetings with the Owner and Builder and to determine corrective actions

- utilizing Standard Documentation for all applicable Trades to test and verify building systems as per Commissioning criteria prior to Substantial Completion and Occupancy

Post-Construction Stage: - 11-Month Warranty Review (prior to Warranty Lapse) to ensure

construction quality and building system performance under use (after occupancy)

£ Bu r l i ng ton F i r e S ta t i on Headquar te r s . . . . . . . . . .

This extensive addition/rehabilitation project significantly updated a 30-year old facility that had seen few improvements over its lifetime. The fractured ground floor was altered to expand and update nearly all functional spaces while improving internal circulation. Interior public areas were all re-designed to full FADS accessibility standards. The 6,000 sq. ft. upper floor accommodates headquarter administrative functions above fire-fighting, training and a 6-person emergency call centre on the ground floor. Mechanic bays in the original facility were re-accommodated in a new fully-detached Mechanic’s Garage at the rear of the property. Upgrades to the building envelope improved energy efficiency via full replacement of all windows with high-performance units with the latest in solar rejection films and thermal break technologies. A broad addition along the front of the facility ostensibly re-styles the building in a modern idiom and site improvements surrounding the building complete the redevelopment scheme.

A d d i t i o n a l G r e e n P r o j e c t E x p e r i e n c e : Over 30+ years or practice, Panici Architect Inc. has integrated a variety of green design technologies and initiatives into a variety of projects up to $23.0M in scale, primarily in the educational and institutional sectors.

Architectural design to acknowledge the concerns of energy and resource efficiency were a long-standing practice in our firm prior to the formal naming of the ‘sustainability movement’ and the later ascendency of ‘LEED™’ as its certification system. Not only have our projects integrated sustainable/green initiatives for decades, today many of our Clients expressly request green building principals outside of LEED’s formalities for certification or approval.

A recent sampling of projects which include green design initiatives include the following:

m Ecole Secondaire Catholique Jean Vanier . . . . . . . . . . . . .

This new 2-storey secondary school replaced an existing school elsewhere in the City of Welland. Sited in an area surrounded by commercial, industrial and residential developments, the school’s site was designed to share playing fields with surrounding parklands. Instructional spaces included general classrooms, technical shops and various vocational spaces for 600 students. After hours, the school’s gym, cafetorium and library function as a well-used community hub. A variety of green design initiatives are integrated throughout the project including: • active and passive solar design considerations • various daylight harvesting systems [light shelves, solar tube sun

tunnels etc.] reducing the need for artificial lighting use • exterior sun control systems [exterior cantilevered sunshades,

vertical louvred sunscreens, solar rejection film on windows etc.] reducing internal heat gains

• rooftop grey-water collection system for non-potable water applications [toilets, site irrigation etc.]

• passive ventilation systems [for reduced HVAC system operation] • interior building finishes which require limited or no chemical

compounds in their maintenance

m Va r i ou s So la r Pane l Re t ro f i t P ro j e c t s . . . . . . . . . . . . . Under Ontario’s FIT Plan, various new school projects completed by our firm received funding grants to integrate rooftop solar panel arrays. The idea of the arrays was two-fold: not only would they generate sufficient energy to cover the facility’s daily needs, they would also create excess energy which would be sold back to the local electric utility, sometimes at rates in excess of standard charge-out values. This inducement resulted in a net zero electrical standard based upon a ‘green’ energy source. In some cases, the energy created by the solar arrays was displayed on meters within the school, enabling students to understand and appreciate the system. The design, layout and technical aspects of the solar arrays were coordinated with the system suppliers, and integrated into the design of each school to enable the panels to be discretely installed and connected shortly following construction. Three projects to feature the FIT solar arrays include:

To Whom It May Concern:

Re: Reference for Venerino V.P. Panici Architect Inc.

The Town of Fort Erie has embarked on building its’ first new fire station in over 50 years.Given the fact that we do not have any recent experience in building such a facility, it wasparamount that we selected a design team that had a wealth of experience in designing firestations.

After an exhaustive search and a request for proposal, we selected Venerino VY. PaniciArchitect Inc. to design our new station. It quickly became evident that the design team ledby Steve Bernier, Kevin Emrich, and Jason Brouwer were extremely competent in designingexactly what we needed. The project had some very challenging site requirements, and theywere able to deliver a product that not only met, but exceeded our expectations.

At this point, the station is on schedule and on budget, with substantial completion to occurin December. Not a day goes by where I do not receive a positive comment on the progressand the visual appeal of the facility.

I would highly recommend this firm to design a fire station or any other building for thatmatter.

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require any further information.

Yours very truly,

This major renovation and expansion of Burlington Fire Station No. 1/Headquarters rehabilitated a facility in original condition, modifying it for modern needs and for FADS and OBC compliance. The Ground Floor administrative wing was expanded at the front of the building to provide new Offices and Reception areas, a Training Room and a new stairwell and elevator to the Upper Floor. Elsewhere on the ground floor, interior alterations included: new Staff Lounge, Changeroom and Dormitory Areas, a new Communications Centre, 2 new Bunker Gear Rooms, a new Exercise room, new FADS Washrooms, new Apparatus Bay doors and various support spaces. On the upper floor, all existing exterior windows were replaced with new high-performance units serving new Offices, Meeting Rooms, Lunchroom, a Simulation Room and various support spaces. Throughout the facility, lighting and mechanical systems were fully updated.

Towards the rear of the property, a new 6,270 sq.ft. Mechanic’s Garage featured 3 Service Bays, 3 Supply and Storage Rooms, 2 Offices as well as a Lunchroom/Kitchenette. Elsewhere on the site, new parking, signage and flagpoles update the station’s new public image.

Construction on this facility was executed in phases to minimize operational disruption. All construction was completed with staff and personnel remaining on site [through a variety of alternate accommodations] enabling the entire facility to remain fully operational.

E f f i c i ency and Re sou r ce s i n t he Consu l tan t s ’ O f f i ce s . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Our firm has a noteworthy history of meeting timing challenges on projects. We have fast-tracked various projects with construction values ranging from $500,000 to $11.0M within our offices. When client requirements demand short time-frames, we meet their deadlines by a variety of ways including:

- increasing staff count and/or increasing office hours (sustained overtime 7 days a week if required) - effectively managing staff members to assign, schedule and complete steps relative to approval and submission deadlines - use of senior and intermediate staff members with the knowledge and experience to quickly and effectively complete project tasks - employing Consulting Engineers with whom we have a synergy, rapport and proven track record on related project types - exploring alternate project delivery methods with our clients to fast-track services and construction

Ultimately, it is our firm’s extensive experience in fire stations that ‘short-hands’ our work the most. Facilities of this type are well-known to us and to our engineers including all related building systems, design considerations, client integration and approvals processes etc. This experience has taught us how to effectively manage, plan and expedite these projects to ensure their successful - and timely - completion.

Under s tand ing and P lann ing Rea l i s t i c Approva l T imes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Proper project planning includes allowing for realistic timeframes for all required submission and approval processes. The timing required for Building Permit Applications, Site Plan Agreement submissions and related approvals (as outlined the Proposed Project Schedule herein) are processes largely outside of the Architect’s control.

However, what we can control is the planning and timing of the many steps which lead to these submissions. This involves effective coordination of multiple consultants and the timely arrangement of various supporting documentation and reports which form the basis of these submissions. Moreover, incomplete submissions cost additional time. Our decades of experience has taught us how to effectively communicate with Authorities Having Jurisdiction and to work cooperatively with them, ensuring that all of their expectations are met completely, in the correct order, and in a timely fashion.

Cur ren t P ro je c t Load i n t he A r ch i t e c t ’ s O f f i ce . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . While our firm has a number of projects in the construction phase, presently we have only one new project in the drawing stage (the new $4.65M Niagara Falls Fire Station No 7/E.O.C.).

Consequently, we have significant availability in our current schedule to assume new projects and to devote staff resources to them.
