About PheidiasPheidias Project Management Corporation has been providing development management services since its incorporation in 1976. In the field of construction, management services based on multiple trade contracts are offered to owners, developers and general contractors as a substitute for a traditional single contract to allow for cost control, speed and flexibility. Professional project management is offered when the group is retained not only to design but especially to organize and carry a project through from the time of property selection and acquisition to substantial completion by the last construction contractor and, during warranty periods, to monitor deficiencies and their rectification. The project management system is explained in a paper that has been repeatedly selected for presentation at international conferences and professional organizations. Pheidias pioneered a number of unique initiatives, starting in 1976 with the first residential luxury highrise in Greater Vancouver on the waterfront of West Vancouver, which opened the way to a booming market. It pioneered resort development at Whistler in the 1970s with the Twin Lakes project and with the first project in the Village North expansion, now called Twin Peaks Resort. In the Downtown District of the City of Vancouver the group obtained the first rezoning for a fully residential luxury highrise in the history of the city’s Downtown District, thus changing the plan of the city and achieving the integration of uses for which it is renowned. The company has been successfully involved in major public review processes since its formation and has been providing community leadership in many project approval applications as development managers. Pheidias has a wide-ranging international clientele, and has connections with and experience in international services reaching Europe, Japan, Hong Kong, China and the United States. |
