Every Trade.
Every Phase.
No Exceptions.
Noren Group delivers every discipline through our in-house trade network required to deliver a large-scale commercial or government project — from initial ground preparation and structural construction through to mechanical, electrical, environmental, and specialty systems. One contract. One team. Total accountability.
General Construction & Structural
Temporary Works & Hoarding: Design and installation of site hoarding systems compliant with Ontario Building Code Division B requirements, infection control risk assessment (ICRA) hoarding for occupied healthcare and institutional renovations, temporary shoring and underpinning programs coordinated with the structural engineer of record, and temporary weather enclosures for year-round construction continuity.
Waterproofing & Building Envelope Membranes: Below-grade waterproofing systems for foundations and underground parkades, plaza deck and podium waterproofing assemblies, split-slab and traffic-bearing membrane systems, expansion joint installation, and crystalline waterproofing treatments. All systems specified and installed to manufacturer requirements with third-party inspection where required by the structural engineer.
Demolition & Abatement Coordination: Where existing structures require demolition, selective dismantling, or hazardous material abatement prior to new construction, we manage and coordinate the entire pre-construction environmental phase in-house — ensuring regulatory compliance and protecting project timelines before a single structural trade arrives on site.
Electrical Systems
Power Systems: Service entrances, switchgear, main distribution panels, sub-panels, transformer installation, emergency and standby power systems including generator integration and automatic transfer switches.
Low Voltage & Special Systems: Data and communications cabling, fire alarm and life safety systems, access control and card reader integration, building automation system (BAS) wiring and device installation, electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, and audio-visual rough-in and device installation.
HVAC & Mechanical Systems
System Types: Variable Air Volume (VAV) systems with digital controls, dedicated outdoor air systems (DOAS), rooftop units and split systems, central chilled water plants, steam and hot water boiler systems, heat pump systems, energy recovery ventilators (ERV/HRV), and in-floor radiant heating. All systems are commissioned to National Energy Code of Canada (NECB) compliance standards.
Healthcare & Cleanroom: Pressure-controlled isolation rooms, laminar flow systems, and specialty ventilation for medical, laboratory, and pharmaceutical environments compliant with CSA Z317 standards.
Plumbing & Mechanical Piping
Domestic Systems: Domestic cold and hot water distribution, recirculation systems, water treatment and softening, pressure-reducing stations, and backflow prevention assemblies certified to local authority requirements.
Sanitary & Specialty: Sanitary drainage and venting, storm drainage and sump systems, natural gas and propane distribution, grease interceptors and grease traps for food service facilities, medical gas systems (oxygen, nitrogen, medical air, vacuum) for healthcare environments compliant with CSA Z7396 standards, and eyewash and safety shower installations for industrial applications.
Interior Finishing & Fit-Out
Partitions & Ceilings: Commercial steel stud and drywall systems, shaft wall assemblies, sound-rated and fire-rated partition assemblies, demountable and modular partition systems, acoustic ceiling tile systems, specialty plaster and GRG ceiling elements, and exposed structure with acoustic treatment.
Flooring & Millwork: All commercial flooring types — broadloom and carpet tile, luxury vinyl tile and plank (LVT/LVP), polished and ground concrete, ceramic and porcelain tile, hardwood and engineered wood, epoxy and resinous flooring for industrial and healthcare applications. Custom millwork and cabinetry fabricated and installed in-house.
Fire Protection & Suppression
Suppression Systems: Wet pipe sprinkler systems for standard commercial occupancies, dry pipe systems for unheated spaces and parkades, pre-action systems for data centres and server rooms, deluge systems for high-hazard industrial environments, and clean agent suppression systems for archive rooms, electrical rooms, and sensitive equipment areas.
Special Hazard & Compliance: Kitchen hood suppression systems (wet chemical), foam suppression for fuel storage and industrial applications, and complete fire protection system commissioning, hydraulic calculations, and Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) submission packages. All systems designed and installed to NFPA 13, ULC, and Ontario Fire Code standards.
Doors, Hardware & Glazing
Exterior Glazing Systems: Thermally broken curtainwall systems, commercial storefront, window wall, unitized panel systems, structural silicone glazing, and high-performance window systems engineered to meet NBC envelope performance requirements. All systems are tested and certified to applicable AAMA and CSA standards.
Doors & Hardware: Commercial hollow metal doors and frames, solid core wood doors, fire-rated door assemblies, automatic sliding and swing door operators, heavy-duty commercial hardware, and complete hardware scheduling coordinated with the architectural specification.
Site & Civil Works
Earthworks & Servicing: Mass grading and cut-and-fill operations, deep foundation systems, underground sanitary, storm, and water main installation, shallow utilities coordination, stormwater management systems including oil-grit separators and detention tanks, and full site servicing approvals through the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
Concrete Restoration & Parking Structures: Structural concrete restoration for parkades, podium slabs, and bridge structures — including carbonation and chloride-induced corrosion repair, carbon fibre (CFRP) reinforcement, cathodic protection system installation, traffic-bearing membrane replacement, and joint sealant programs. Restoration programs are developed in conjunction with the structural engineer of record based on condition survey findings.
Hardscaping & Finishing: Asphalt paving and concrete flatwork, parking lot layout and line marking, site lighting and electrical distribution, retaining walls, landscaping and soft landscaping, fencing and security perimeter works, and site signage installation.
Environmental & Abatement
Hazardous Materials: Asbestos-containing materials (ACM) identification and abatement compliant with Ontario Regulation 278/05, lead-based paint encapsulation and removal, mould and biological contamination remediation, PCB-containing equipment removal and disposal, and legacy building materials management.
Structural & Site: Controlled demolition, fireproofing and firestopping installation and remediation, soil and groundwater contamination assessment and remediation, and HAZMAT waste classification, packaging, and licensed disposal through approved carriers.
Speciality Systems & Technology
Security & Access Control: Card access systems, biometric readers, video surveillance (IP CCTV), intrusion detection, visitor management systems, and full integration into building automation and life safety platforms.
Communications & AV: Structured cabling (Cat6A, fibre backbone), wireless infrastructure, audio-visual systems for boardrooms and training facilities, digital signage, paging and mass notification, and nurse call systems for healthcare environments.
Operational Equipment: Loading dock levellers and seals, overhead crane systems, compactors, and speciality equipment integration for industrial, distribution, and institutional facilities.
Emergency Response
Immediate Response: Water damage and flood response, electrical failures, HVAC system failures, roof and envelope breaches, fire and smoke damage restoration, and structural damage assessment.
Make-Safe & Recovery: Emergency board-up and weatherproofing, temporary power and heat, asbestos and hazardous material containment, insurance documentation support, and full recovery scope development from initial response through to permanent repair.
Project Consulting & Owner's Representative
Advisory Services: Feasibility assessments, site due diligence, budget validation, constructability review of architectural and engineering drawings, procurement strategy development, and independent cost planning before design commitment.
Owner's Representation: Attendance at all design and construction meetings, review of RFIs, submittals, and shop drawings, payment certificate review, change order validation, schedule oversight, and closeout documentation management — acting exclusively in the owner's interest.
