You should ALWAYS perform Integrity Testing with Electronic Leak Detection right before the building handover. Why? Here’s the breakdown: 🚧 Post-waterproofing installation, your roof will face intense activity, and this for weeks/months. 🛠️ Non-roofing contractors can accidentally damage the roof and the waterproofing integrity. 🕵️♂️ ELD testing before handover detects repairs needed, making sure your roof is leak-free. I personally believe the process for roof Integrity Testing should be as follow: 1️⃣ Integrity Testing with ELD along other checks (drains, flashings,..) 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 2️⃣ Integrity Testing with ELD after completion of all works on the roof, 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 3️⃣ Integrity Testing with ELD along other checks 𝘁𝘄𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 for Preventive Maintenance By following this process, I am certain you can prevent leaks and increase the durability of your building. 👉 Follow for more insights on ELD, roofing technology, and maintenance tips! #electricleakdetection #construction #architecture #design #maintenance #waterproofing"

Pit and asset security has become an increasingly topical issue in recent years. ACO’s SCEC approved range of products are designed to meet defence security standards, and are now being used in a range of applications where security is a factor - including council assets, goverment, network provides, data centers and more. If you want to discuss incorporating high security pits and covers into your project, get in touch to discuss. #electricalengineering #security

90% of Contractor Proposals aren't detailed enough…   If the proposal you receive is one page with a basic scope and little to no information on materials, processes used, or warranty information - there is a lot left to the imagination…🤔   Make sure you have these in writing before choosing a bid:   - Products and application requirement as specified by the manufacturer ✍️ - Detailed breakdown of all includes and excludes - Pictures? Even better 📸 - Info on material and workmanship warranty 🔧 -Phase map showing duration and movement around the site, especially if project is complex or duration is long. 🗺 #renovia #challengethestatusquo #commercialpainting #contractors #dotherightthing

There are a number of variables that can affect your wood slat wall or ceiling project cost. Today we are going to cover a couple of things to consider when optimizing your design for fabrication and installation pricing. Freight | We’re located in Houston, Tx. Freight cost depends on the number of shipments, size and distance. Calculating freight is easy once your product specifications, scope, and job site location are known. Our proposals include an estimate based on these factors. Schedule | Fabrication schedules are set long in advance. While we do the best we can to accommodate construction schedule changes, sometimes schedule changes that affect the fabrication line or the schedule of the installation team can create pricing changes.

Most people would describe this as the most stressful time on site. 38 piles and fastenings in the ground to support 8 volumetric units, which would have to be accurately positioned in order for the structures to be sited. Here's the thing. We're an engineering consultancy so detail is our bag.....but how good are we? Can we pull this off? TBC.... #offsite #construction #volumetric #mmc Stephen Angus

Ar Sarly Adre Sarkum presented an enlightening scenario regarding the issues that need to be resolved upon by the pertinent players. The trail of reaction for these problems is also being politely debated. In my opinion, everyone must work towards the same goals in order for the project to be effectively completed TOGETHER; defensiveness will not work. Systems and mindsets are the two essential success criteria for good governance. HSE Group

Do you know the signs of a headache project? Unlike most of the projects you manage, these projects require complex technical, mechanical, and electrical systems to enable a mission-critical #federal facility to function properly. Check out our latest whitepaper "Avoid Complex Construction Headaches: Best Practices for Reducing Delays and Cost Overruns" to learn about the warning signs of a complex construction project and the best way to tackle it if a complex project lands on your desk. #federalfacility #complexconstruction #bestpractices #thematosway https://lnkd.in/gQZ_jmgu

Contracts are always a sticky subject. Could the uphill battle for Modular Contractors & Manufacturers winning work more frequently across the private sector, be complicated further in challenging contract details? Ownership - What party owns the modular structure / components Design - Could element of design be shared to competitors? Payment - Heavy upfront costs, cashflow queries Logistics - Materials, Structural elements, Modules in transit Whilst the technical challenge may excite clients initially, is the process hurting the sector? #offsiteconstruction #modular #MMC #modularconstruction
