Before the First Bell: How School Projects Get Done Over the Summer
School work happens in a narrow window while classrooms sit empty. Here is how PAC plans summer projects so schools open on time in September.
Building for the next school year starts long before the first bell rings. Most school work has to happen in a narrow summer window, while classrooms sit empty and before staff return.
Roofs, without anyone noticing
At St. Francis Xavier Catholic Secondary School, PAC delivered a full roof replacement over the summer. Rooftop HVAC units were craned off so crews could replace the roofing system underneath. It took close coordination between crane operators, mechanical contractors, roofers and the PAC site team. By September, students and staff had no idea what happened above their heads. That is the goal.
Interiors, ready on day one
At a Brampton school, PAC completed an interior upgrade before classes resumed: a new single-user accessible washroom, a full kitchenette in one of the largest classrooms and fresh finishes throughout.
What makes it work
Schools run on fixed dates. Summer projects succeed when materials are ordered early, trades are scheduled back to back and the closeout is planned before the first shovel goes in. That is how schools open on time.
