So nice that the podium part is done, the tower portion will rise quickly.

Definitely does make for a quick start, this is a decently tall tower will be nice to fill in the east village with some height

The guys were pouring the core late tonight, we’re still out at 8pm. Formwork will be stripped and racked, then tables will be moved up tomorrow

Trying to get as much pouring as they can while the weather is decent I bet.

To be honest they will pour right down to -25°c so right now it’s more about just hitting the weekly floor cycle. This will be the typical cycle to hit and All the trades work really hard to make it happen!

It's really just contractors pushing formwork companies to push their workers to go as fast as they can go. I've done my fair share of years in this trade to know it sucks big time. Social life and hobbies are destroyed. I'd rather see an extra day added to the slab cycle to keep workers mentally and physically healthy, even if that means an extra 30 days for build-out.

Contactors and trades companies in the industry need to collude to stop bidding jobs for such tight floor cycles. But then again, most don't care, they're in it to maximize their profits even if it puts workers last. The whole industry is in need of a big change. More and more formwork and concrete companies are relying on immigrants to fill positions because hardly any Canadians want to work in the industry. Other trades such as plumbing, HVAC, electricians, etc are still much better off in terms of work-life. Respect to the workers making this happen.

A very honest take.
