Like plant and machinery, immovable assets/ real estate assets require repairs and maintenance! Agreed? So who should advise clients or property owners on the amounts to set aside periodically for planned maintenance- eg the standard practice is that a building must be repainted after every 5 years, elevators or lifts should be replaced after 15 to 20 years? Your Property experts - Property Managers, Facilities Managers, Chartered Surveyors etc are available to provide this advice!

WAITING TOO LONG TO HIRE SNOW REMOVAL SERVICES IS RISKY BE SMART AND HIRE TRIPLE J CONTRACTING FOR THE WINTER OF 2024 NOW It may sound like a long way off, but the winter of 2024 will eventually be upon us.  The law of averages dictates that as much as this past winter was lower in precipitation and higher in temperature than normal, this coming winter may be just the opposite.  Therefore, it's always a good idea -- in fact, it's actually a crucial idea -- to be prepared and hire your snow removal services NOW. Waiting too long to hire a snow removal service contractor can spell big trouble for your property or region.  You may be forced to hire a second-rate contractor who lacks the skill and commitment to perform the job right -- and reliably.  And even if you do manage to hire any old snow removal contractor in the fall, you may be forced to deal with: * Limited Availability * Inadequate Equipment * Slow Reaction Times * Higher Rates * Unwillingness to Finish the Work if Weather Dictates And if you think there's nothing to worry about, just ask all the people who waited too long this year and suffered the negative consequences of substandard work, schedule conflicts, slow response times and expensive rates. With Triple J Contracting, there's never any concern about the resources we employ to take care of snow removal expertly and reliably.  We have exceptionally qualified staff with elite skills, and use only best-in-class "Heavy Iron" machinery to get big jobs done efficiently.  We also take care of all the small details too, including stacking and moving snow, along with working on irregular shaped areas and clearing off sidewalks and pathways.  We also de-ice and anti-ice (a job usually not performed by other contractors) to ensure safety for vehicles and pedestrians alike. So don't sit around and wait for a disaster (and disappointment) to happen, when you can simply book your snow removal contracting services in advance.  You'll save time, money, and aggravation -- not to mention you'll keep your customers AND your own people happy. To hire Triple J Contracting's best-in-class snow removal services, call us in Aurora at (905) 726-8922 or in Toronto at (416) 479-9722.  Also visit triplejcontracting.ca online for more details about all of our other best-in-class commercial services.

A little long but worth the read. Last week presented us with unforeseen challenges as the weather in Calgary took a dramatic turn towards harsh winter conditions. Our scheduled work, originally planned for the summer months, suddenly transitioned into a winter setting. The abrupt weather shift caused unexpected issues; the gravel on our dump truck froze, prompting the trucking company to request an additional fee. Unfortunately, this extra expense wasn't something we could have anticipated. Adding to the complexity, the general contractor hadn't completed the necessary survey work. Without this crucial information, we were unable to determine the correct levels for our project, necessitating another expense for additional gravel. These unforeseeable circumstances led to a pause in our work, much to the dismay of our client. It's essential to note that our contract stipulates no work should proceed without a change order, a clause implemented to manage unexpected costs and variations. In the construction industry, our collective goal is to deliver projects efficiently and without alterations. Changes often introduce complexities that can inflate costs and disrupt the project's flow, something all subcontractors aim to avoid. However, in situations like the one we faced last week, the dilemma lies in the necessity to adhere to the contract terms. While changes are unwelcome, proceeding without proper authorization could risk non-payment. Ultimately, last week's experience reinforced the delicate balance between the desire for timely project completion and the contractual need for formal change orders. As much as we aim for seamless operations, unforeseen circumstances sometimes necessitate adherence to contractual protocols to ensure fair compensation and project integrity. #inspiration #cemrock #flatwork #concrete #yyc #calgary #calgaryconstruction #yycconcrete #paving #pavingcontractor

THE GREAT STAIRCASE DILEMMA With the Government issuing the long awaited final version of the guidance on twin stairs in buildings over 18 m at the weekend you wonder what this will lead to in the residential market. Will prospective buyers of new or second hand apartments see the differance and will this impact on the decision to buy or indeed the price. Will we see morgage providers adding a premium or being reluctant to lend on single staircase buildings. It’s highly likely that insurance companies will charge a premium as it appears they already do with some older properties pushing up the service charge which impacts on value. As an investor would you take the risk in todays market where yealds remain low and the decision to purchase is simply one to chase capital growth. Another chalange for an already challenged market. I would welcome peoples thoughts.
