One Victoria It is residential high rise by Momentum Developments and was built by Melloul-Blamey Construction Inc. I was on the job from the beginning to the completion of the 6th floor. I started the job as an Assist Construction Supervisor. This role included the responsibilities of overseeing layout, quality control, scheduling, job sequencing and job site safety. This role also included making engineering judgements on-site, working with engineers, architects and building inspectors. Through-out the job there was extended periods of time when I took over the role of Senior Construction Superintend. In October 2014, the building structure and exterior pre-cast panels were complete through the complex underground and to 6th floor podium. As the less complex tower structure started on the 7th and went to the 19th floor, I left the job.
