It's forecasted to be a hot week, are you and your employees aware? Ready? Properly informed of what they should do? Especially outdoor (with higher UV risks) and indoor factory/manufacturing plants (with lower air flow and opportunities for cooling off). Here are a few great tips!

This is an interesting innovation. I'm not sure if it would comply with our local Building Codes but it's great to see ideas coming through that may assist with resilience of rebuilt houses in flood prone areas. If this type of product was able to be used with readily removable skirting boards and the plasterboard sheet sitting above the bottom plate somehow, the damage and risk of mould following a flooding (or any significant water ingress) might be significantly less. #innovation #flooddamage #flooding #insurance #propertydamage #resilience #mould #remediation #restoration

Actually, you absolutely don't want the municipal building inspectors inspecting for quality. They have immunity if they miss something, so whatever damage might be caused, has no recovery bucket at the end of that rainbow. It's not their job because, other than MEP and the Fire Code, the inspections, especially exterior wall inspections, have nothing to do with "Quality", but "Life Safety", and that's what the Code is for. The Code is for the protection of the occupants, not protection of the building itself. While there's no such thing as a defect free structure, it is also true that a building can be 100% Code Compliant and leak like a siev.

Preparing your car for winter in Canada is essential to ensure #safety and reliability during the harsh weather conditions. Here’s a detailed checklist to help you get ready: 1. Winter Tires: Install #wintertires for better traction on snow and ice. They perform best when temperatures drop below 7°C. 2. Blanket and Warm Clothes: Keep a blanket and a set of warm clothes in your car in case you get stranded. This can be a #lifesaver in extreme cold. 3. Winter Windshield Fluids: Use windshield washer fluid that is rated for low temperatures to prevent it from freezing. Carry an extra jug in your vehicle. 4. Booster Cables: Carry booster cables to jump-start your car if the battery dies. Cold weather can be tough on car batteries. Additionally, consider Ice Scraper and Snow Brush, Emergency Kit, Tire Pressure, Battery Check, Antifreeze Levels, Lubricate Door Locks and Window Tracks. By following this #checklist, you’ll be better prepared to handle winter driving conditions safely. If you have any more questions or need further advice, feel free to ask!

🔥Are you prepared for the changes coming for your building? 🔥 Starting Feb 13, 2025, Passive Fire Stopping and Fire Damper Registers are mandatory for buildings with these measures listed on their AFSS. Without these registers, your Annual Fire Safety Statement can not be signed, leading to non-compliance and penalties. Learn more about how this will affect you ⬇️⬇️ #passivefire #firesafety #fireprotection

On a recent contractor defect inspection we thought it was such a shame that this shower needed to be replaced in full.
