I hope it works out for you, but I hate seeing people bypass local efforts, just to save a few dollars, then it end up costing them more in the long run.
regarding code.. local engineers are designing and inspecting the systems so there's no concern about that.. as far as why not local, basically comes down to two main issues; 1. there just isn't experienced companies coordinating/sequencing and running jobs on towers of this size. doing a 33 story tower isn't the same as a 10-15 story tower and most of the Halifax based companies simply don't have the experience to do the job. Secondly, simply, the one or two that are capable, simply don't have the time as they are on so many jobs, taking on a job of this size isn't something they have manpower for.

keep in mind it makes everyones life easier if local workers and companies can do jobs..
