HOA Decisions and Roofing Construction Questions for 2011 - Building Material Costs

By Paul Amos


Mobile classrooms extend provisional solutions, whenever there is a requirement for more space. In the event of the building undergoing repairs or construction work, they are the ideal answer. There are companies that offer such a solution and you can continue to do your job without any hindrance. Moreover, these classrooms are simple, safe and boast of good quality. Generally, quality is not compromised on. The right kind of security and safety measures are adopted by the builders of these establishments and hence we need not worry about this aspect.

The issue of responsibility in relation to delivering ecological and invasive weed treatment measures now lies firmly with the developer; and failing to establish how to efficiently and cost effectively meet these requirements often leaves projects exposed to major impacts - know the ecology survey you need and speed the process along, delay the ecological survey and risk paying the price.

The time taken for raising these temporary arrangements is also minimal as compared to the brick and mortar establishment. Before finalising on these make-shift arrangements, speak to their representative and get your doubts clarified. You may also want to take a look at some samples built by them to get an idea about the quality and what to expect.

One common frustration among developers is the fact that no amount of money will solve this problem over night; ecological surveys and mitigation can only be carried out at specific times of year and missing an ecological survey deadline by a week can see a multi-million pound project shelved for 6 months - it is here that ecological impacts bite hardest.

As the industry takes action to restructure land asset portfolios and we see project deferrals soar, on site ecological and invasive weed issues are quietly continuing to thrive. Have the right ecological survey completed is always worth while. We now see strategic sites being retained for future development and high risk assets shed; in both instances dealing with ecological and invasive weed issues now is always financially beneficial - an ecological surveys are part and parcel of planning and a good ecologist will make sure the survey is completed.

"Our industrial segment should continue its strong performance in the back half of this fiscal year, with signs of improvement in the depressed commercial construction market this spring, while consumer sales are expected to be relatively flat as they face very strong prior-year comparisons, combined with consumer uncertainty. We anticipate that raw material challenges will persist through the remainder of this fiscal year," Sullivan stated."

The benefits are felt two-fold by developers who tackle knotweed now; one, the cost of herbicidal treatment over a growing season can be 10% of more instant 'dig and dump' options, and two, by the time the construction phase of the project comes about the site will be construction ready. Specialist contractors are an extremely useful source of practical advice, and can ensure a site free from ecological issues or invasive weeds remains unaffected. They will complete ecological surveys in a timely way as well as scope the site to identify potential issues caused by; fly tipping, vehicle tracks, shrub and vegetation growth is enough to provide potential habitats for species like badgers and birds and may even introduce invasive weeds onto site - site vegetation management should be vital consideration and a ecological survey will highlight this.

Involving these contractors in the preparation of land parcels for sale is also extremely financially beneficial, particularly given the current land market, knowing your risk with ecological survey data will help. On many sites even a minimal investment in dealing with these issues will prove extremely cost effective, seeing; reduced negotiation, increased selling prices and catalysed land sale. Often simply starting a weed eradication programme or taking the first steps to survey ecological issues is enough to reduce selling time and negotiations.
