I am sure it all started with the change from 17 floors to 22 floors -- the "extra" quote and terms must have been so far out of line that the developer balked. An escape clause probably allowed them to terminate their contract with Clark. Who knows what happened with Ellis-Don??? Discussions ongoing with PCL?

I believe this is correct. I just heard that for them to go up, they need to go down more, however the shoring as been completed. Going down further once your shoring is complete is a nightmare.
 
@Vacs a good Civil (Soils) Engineer should be able to solve the problem without additional excavation (and maybe that too has already been done) with pile drilling beneath slab footings for extra bearing.

to excavate another level of parkade once your shoring has been complete?

I've had to do it before, it was neither easy or cheap
 
On the laboring aspect, I would have to agree it would be a pain in the arse, but, from the engineering aspect, it is not so much.

Fill me in please, the cost inflation is due to the requirement of an additional level of parkade?
 
New name for this project?
