Light Touch is a local cosmetic salon specializing in permanent make-up procedures. They also offer training services to aspiring technicians. This unique business has moved to a new, more spacious location in south Edmonton. Lexus is proud to have provided design and construction management services to this client.

The scope of our involvement was two-fold: 1) design a functional tenant fit-up including HVAC, plumbing and gas, power, lighting, and fire alarm; and 2) serve as the owner’s representative during the construction process by soliciting quotes, coordinating with contractors, overseeing the build and keeping project controls on track.

We were also faced with a very tight time-line, as our client needed to relocate from her existing location ASAP.

A unique design challenge in this project was the owner’s requirement for a hydro-therapy tub in one of the treatment rooms. This meant the room needed exhaust ventilation, floor drains, and under-slab water and electrical connections. Furthermore, we selected a tankless ‘on-demand’ hot water heater to provide instant hot water, at every treatment interval, as opposed to a traditional hot water tank. Electrical design met the fire safety building code through modifications and upgrades to the power distribution, lighting, emergency lighting and fire alarm systems.
