Change Room Construction and Renovation

Change rooms take more punishment than almost any other room in a building. HSM builds them with our own plumbing, electrical and interior crews.

Change Room Construction and Renovation

Wet, busy and heavily used

Showers, benches, lockers and floors face water, moisture and constant traffic. Poor slope, weak waterproofing or cheap fixtures lead to leaks, mould and odours. The details behind the tile matter.

Our mechanical crew handles plumbing and ventilation. Good exhaust, adequate fresh air and floor drains sized for peak use keep the room dry and healthy.

Layouts that work for everyone

Modern change rooms often include universal and family-friendly options, private stalls and accessible showers. Sightlines, privacy and safety for children and teams are important design inputs.

We work with owners and design teams to plan circulation, so teams, officials and the public do not collide at peak times.

How HSM delivers this work. Highlighted trades are self-performed by our own crews.

Materials and finishes

Moisture-resistant drywall, tile, solid plastic partitions, durable benches and corrosion-resistant hardware are common. Our interior systems crew builds the walls and ceilings, our carpenters build benches and lockers where custom work is needed, and our painters apply coatings suited to wet areas. Doors and hardware are also handled in-house.

Electrical work in wet areas needs care. Our electrical crew, led by a Master Electrician, installs lighting, hand dryers, outlets and emergency lighting to code.

Keeping the facility running

Change room renovations are often done in phases, one side at a time, so a rink or pool can stay open. We plan temporary facilities, protected routes and quiet hours. Alberta winter conditions affect how we stage deliveries and protect entrances.

Detail where it counts

The best change rooms are won or lost in details: slopes to drains, waterproofing laps, door swings, vent locations. Our project managers walk these details with the trades before work starts, and with a single in-house team, problems are fixed at the source.

Questions we hear

How long does a change room renovation take?

It depends on size and scope. Phasing one side at a time can keep the facility open while work continues.
