THUNDER BAY -- ReSolve Group president Gisele MacDonald says Man-Shield Construction was not meeting its deadlines, which led to the decision to remove the company as the general contractor on two waterfront condominium projects.

Many condo owners complained about problems with the drywall and other deficiencies.

MacDonald said the Group asked Man-Shield several times to meet deadlines and address other issues in the two 51-unit buildings, to no avail.

"They were falling on deaf ears," she said.

There have also been construction liens filed against both companies over the past year.

Local Man-Shield president Peter Belluz has not returned calls requesting comment.

MacDonald said Pomerleau Incorporated will take over as the general contractor staring on Sept. 8. A change had to be made, she said.

In other waterfront news here's been yet another delay with the construction of the Delta Hotel, to be located next to the condos. This past June MacDonald said construction would resume in September.

On Thursday she said, because of the liens on the project, the new time frame for work to resume is February 2016. There is no contractor in place for that project. MacDonald said that will be decided once drawings are complete and the project heads out for pricing.

MacDonald expects construction on the hotel to be complete by early 2017.
