When temperatures drop and snow settles in, construction sites slow down… but the work doesn’t stop completely.
At Construction Rubix, this period marks the time to protect outdoor construction sites that are currently underway and plan for the future to ensure an efficient resumption of work in the spring.
Why does winter change the game in construction?
Cold, frost, and moisture can cause considerable damage if a construction site is poorly protected. Exposed materials can warp, wooden structures can absorb moisture, and foundations can suffer the effects of frost.
That is why, before winter arrives, our team does everything possible to secure and protect sites where work has not yet been completed.
What Construction Rubix actually does in real terms
Closing a construction site for the winter isn’t just a matter of putting away our tools; it’s a process that allows us to ensure that there is no unnecessary loss of materials or damage to the building.
Before the snow, our team:
- Protects sensitive materials (wood, drywall, insulation, etc.) with durable tarps and covered areas;
- Covers openings and exposed structures to ensure watertightness;
- Checks the safety of the site and temporary facilities;
- Fait un dernier tour complet du chantier pour s’assurer que tout est prêt à affronter la neige et le froid.
Thanks to these measures, projects remain intact and ready to restart as soon as the weather improves, without any loss of time.
And during winter, what happens?
Winter is also a strategic time to prepare for the future: finalize plans, adjust estimates, plan material orders, or organize the stages for resuming work.
It is also a season when general contractors focus their activities on renovation or interior construction projects.
