Specifications for Comprehensive Concrete Balcony Repair and Waterproofing Tenera was requested to provide repair specifications for a balcony waterproofing project for a low-rise commercial building located on Augusta Ave. in Toronto. This project required a specialised repair method and materials to ensure long-lasting protection against water ingress. Scope of Balcony Repairs Concrete balcony repair and waterproofing may encompass several critical tasks, including crack repair, patching, slope reversal, parging, the application of a waterproofing membrane, and a top coat. Each step must be meticulously performed to restore structural integrity and prevent future damage. The Repair Method Initial Crack Repair and Slope Reversal The first phase involved addressing existing cracks and reversing any improper slopes on the balcony. Specifying specialised materials designed for thin patch applications, we instructed the contractor on how to correct the balcony slope. These materials enable the application of extensive patches with thicknesses as minimal as 5 mm, ensuring precision and durability.

Roofing material comparisons When comparing roofing materials in Canada, several factors come into play, including durability, cost, and suitability for local climate conditions. Asphalt shingles are particularly popular due to their affordability, ease of installation, and variety of styles and colors. They perform well in Ontario's diverse weather, with a lifespan of 15-30 years, making them a practical and economical choice for many homeowners. Recent advancements have also made them more eco-friendly and energy-efficient. Metal roofing offers superior durability, lasting 40-70 years, and can save on energy costs by reflecting solar heat. However, it has a higher upfront cost and may not suit all architectural styles. Tile roofing, made from clay or concrete, is durable and fire-resistant but heavy and expensive to install. Slate roofing, with a lifespan exceeding 100 years, is elegant but costly and requires skilled installation. Wood shingles and shakes provide a rustic look and can last 30-50 years with proper maintenance, though they are susceptible to fire and require regular upkeep. Overall, asphalt shingles stand out as the most practical and popular choice for Ontario homeowners, offering a balance of cost-effectiveness, durability, and aesthetic flexibility.

The Ontario Building Code, as made under the Building Code Act, 1992, is a technical, detailed, and comprehensive document that establishes requirements and minimum standards for building construction in the Province of Ontario. Major revisions to the Ontario Building Code, referred to as the “largest ever provincial building code revision”, will come into effect on January 1, 2025.

Sneak peek at our #ACBIM service! From our recent project in the City of Mississauga. While we were reviewing the facade model, which we created from the windows schedule, with the structure model, we found that the soffit step from thickening the slab by 3 inches, we found that this soffit step was not accounted for in the window schedule, interesting, for sure, and way more interesting that this happens in 3 typical floors in this tower, and in higher floors, where the windows always get fabricated based on guaranteed sizing not site measurements! How much this would cost .. hard to estimate but you can easily double the cost per square foot for these couple of panels multiple with the number of floors, with the going rate for window wall! .. you can easily say $57k. What is the best solution for this? .. :) used BASTET ACBIM #ACBIM service!

Efficient Specifications for Ceiling and Wall Concrete Repair Tenera was commissioned to provide detailed repair specifications for a multi-phase concrete repair project at a three-tier underground parking garage of a residential building located on Fort York Blvd. in Toronto. Upon inspection, the complete scope of work was defined, and the contractor was instructed to execute the repairs as described below. Parking Garage Wall and Ceiling Repairs Our recommended solution focus on addressing the structural integrity of the parking garage's concrete walls and ceilings by ensuring contractors perform timely repairs and waterproofing in accordance with specifications. The project was divided into phases because of the garage size. Phase 1 involved the completion of crack repair, patching, and painting on the third and second levels. This encompassed the treatment of approximately 1,100 linear feet (LF) of cracks and over 1,300 square feet (SQF) of patch installations. Phase 2 involved repair work on the first level, tackling nearly 680 LF of cracks and over 715 SQF of patches.
