Institutional facility restoration
Encore Restoration is an employee-owned Canadian firm, based in Vancouver, BC, that specializes in large and complex industrial, commercial, institutional, and course-of-construction disaster restoration across Canada except Quebec. This page is the institutional line for schools, hospitals, municipal buildings, and secure facilities across Canada except Quebec.
Who this service is for
This line is for the people who keep a school, hospital, municipal building, or secure facility in service, and for the adjusters and loss consultants on that file. Encore Restoration is employee-owned, based in Vancouver, and limits the work to Canada except Quebec. It is large and complex ICI restoration. Assigned files are 24/7.
Public trust and service continuity sit at the centre of every decision on these files. The published description is discreet, highly compliant restoration, not a public-relations claim and not a residential cleaning contract.
Infection-control practice on this page follows the site’s own wording: CSA Z825 aware practices. That phrase is not a certification, a tender number, or a license.
Scope of work
The published institutional scope is infection-control practice described as CSA Z825 aware, mold and asbestos abatement, and safe, fast-track restoration aimed at public-service continuity. Buildings named are schools, hospitals, municipal buildings, and secure facilities. The method is Stabilize, Assess, Recover, Rebuild, across Canada except Quebec.
- Infection-control protocols described as CSA Z825 aware practices
- Mold and asbestos abatement
- Safe, fast-track restoration for public-service continuity
- Schools, hospitals, municipal buildings, and secure facilities
These four settings are the institutional list Encore Restoration publishes. A hospital file is about keeping a care environment recoverable with as little interruption as the loss allows. A school or municipal building file is about returning a public service. A secure facility file is about doing that discreetly. None of the four is a residential contents program. The firm does not publish a ward count, a campus address, or a local branch phone for any of them. Mobilization stays national from Vancouver, excluding Quebec.
How the response protocol applies
This service uses Encore Restoration’s four-phase protocol: Stabilize, Assess, Recover, then Rebuild. Stabilize contains hazards. Assess builds the shared record, including thermal imaging and structural mapping where that phase applies. Recover runs cleaning, drying, and specialized restoration in parallel where possible. Rebuild closes reconstruction. Assigned files are 24/7.
The full phase descriptions, emergency actions, and the documentation table live on the ICI Response Protocol page. Adjusters and loss consultants can use How Encore works with adjusters and loss consultants for the same timelines.
Documentation on an assigned file
On assigned files, targets are project file access in about 1 hour, an initial report and budgets in about 24 hours, and plans, photos, and moisture logs in about 72 hours. Repair breakdowns are targeted in about 14 days where relevant. Scope stays ICI or course of construction, across Canada except Quebec.
Timelines are targets on assigned files and apply where the item is relevant. Full phase notes sit on the protocol page linked above.
