A builder has been chosen for the new field house in Fernie.

The Elk Valley Field House Society has contracted Elevate Construction, from Lethbridge, to build the facility, to be located next to the Fernie Aquatic Centre.

“We would like to thank the Elk Valley Field House Society for selecting Elevate Construction to be part of their exciting new project,” said Blayne Janssens, President and Partner of Elevate Construction.

This marks a major step forward for the project.

“We had five companies bid on the project and, in the end, Elevate Construction provided us, and the community, with the best bang for the buck,” said Aysha Haines, spokesperson for the Elk Valley Field House Society.

In addition to building the facility, Elevate will serve as project manager for building.

“With our primary office based out of Lethbridge, Alberta and over 30 team members, we are confident that we have the capacity to exceed expectations and produce deliverables to the highest standard on this project,” according to a statement issued by the company.

“Our consistent volume of work exceeding 20+ current projects in process throughout Alberta, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, and Northwest Territories is a testament to our competence.

“We are proud of our ability to partner with local organizations, companies, consultants, and trades on projects or joint ventures. We are committed to investing in local communities and charities by way of monetary and time donation as well as hiring of local work force where applicable.

Over the past month, Elevate and the Field House Society have been finalizing architectural and engineering plans for the facility. A draft building permit has been submitted to the City of Fernie.
