The Demand For Construction Management Jobs

Posted on by blogger

It doesn’t take the intellect of the greatest economist alive to see that the demand for construction managers is huge in the UK at the moment. What might be worth explaining a little more is just why this is so for it isn’t simply to do with rising house prices or a booming market.

The first and most obvious one is that the Olympics are coming and while everyone’s desperately hoping that they won’t be the usual financial nightmare they are also hiring construction managers as fast as they can to try and make sure that it won’t be. Given that this is government work though that hope might still be in vain.

The second on is a little more subtle. We all know from the Daily Mail (and of course industry experience) that the country is awash with Polish plumbers and Czech chippies but this very expansion of a low cost workforce increases the demand for managers in two ways. The first is the obvious one that more workers means more managers. The second and less obvious is that a lowering of the costs of labour means that there’s more money to go somewhere: obviously this isn’t going to the buyers in the form of lower prices and similarly, some of it is spilling over into the hiring of those specialist managers that everyone’s always had a hankering for but could never really afford before.

The third thing driving the increased demand for construction managers is the way in which the industry is becoming ever more complex. Where health n’ safety used to mean hard hats and decent scaffolding there are now dedicated managers on every site tasked with nothing other than making sure the detailed rules are followed. Similarly, the increasing complexity of environmental regulation is meaning greater demand for such specialists. Whether such detailed rules are really needed is another matter but there can be no doubt that they’re driving up the demand for skilled managers in the construction industry.

We at Talisman also have another source of information of course. As experts in the sourcing and provision of managers to the construction industry we can see what demand is simply by monitoring what is crossing our desks. As we as recruitment specialists are, well, as you might think is obvious, recruiting people for the industry, we can see that demand is going up when our clients are tasking us with finding more such managers. The answer here is, yes, there is indeed strong demand for those looking for construction management jobs.

New Construction Inspections

Posted on by blogger

Within the real estate industry, there is some ongoing debate about whether new homes should have home inspections or not. This debate goes on in the minds of many buyers who want to save any cash they can. And the new home builder is, obviously, all for waiving a home inspection. So, often, the decision as to whether the house is inspected or not, comes down to what is recommended by the buyer’s realtor. As a realtor, who has found myself in that position more than once, I am going to give you my opinion on this matter.

It is my experience that, almost never, are issues found at new homes that are -deal killers.- However, that does not mean that numerous problems have not been found. Usually, the problems at newer homes are of the punch list variety — where the home inspector’s list is given to the builder and the crew or sub contractors complete their project. Here are examples of common new construction issues found by home inspectors in my market: significant standing water in the crawl space because drainage concerns were not addressed; crawl space vents that are below grade; concrete poured up over the wood trim on the home; furnace ducts that are not hooked into the system; condensate drains from the furnace and TPR drains from the water heater that are routed under the home; missing flashing or loose and improperly nailed shingles; the pressure test cap left on the main sewer vent; sinks or toilets with drains that are not plumbed into the system; gutters with inadequate slope; doors and windows that do not operate; missing or unsafe handrails at steps and guardrails on high decks; appliances not wired or plumbed in; propane appliances not converted to gas, so they operate like flame throwers; gas fireplaces not hooked to the gas; whirlpool tubs not wired into the system; dryer ducts that empty under the home; missing or failed GFCI outlets, grounding problems and other electrical issues; missing door stops and out of adjustment interior doors, cupboards or closet doors.

If you look at this list, which is certainly not inclusive, most of the significant things found are still routine and easy for the builder, or his crew with their tools, to remedy. On the other side of the coin, if the average homeowner has to fix some of these issues after closing, it is a really big hassle that will require lots of elbow grease and needlessly spending dollars out of pocket. Since those buyers are my clients, and I want them to be happy with their purchase and to refer my name to their friends and family, it is my goal to see to it that all of the significant problems have been discovered and resolved prior to closing. Let’s face it, it is only fair that all of the significant costs should be paid by the builder — whose role in the transaction was to properly build a home and supply my clients with a house that was ready to move into.

Sometimes, mistakenly so, a client who does not want to pay for an inspection, hopes that the municipal code inspectors have covered the bases. That is seldom the case because those components and systems the code inspector looks for are basic and these people seldom actually get inside crawl spaces, attics and areas a home inspector routinely views. I have written a previous article on this fallacy of the code inspector being a substitute for a home inspection.

Another thought is that the builder’s home warranty can replace the need for a home inspection. In my experience that is a big risk, and not a wise gamble, and I will be writing another article on that in the near future. For now, it should be clear from my comments here, that I always recommend that my clients, whether they are buying a new or an old home, should pay a few extra dollars and have an independent home inspection by a state licensed structural pest inspector who is also a competent residential home inspector.

Self Climbing Formwork System In Construction

Posted on by blogger

Self Climbing formwork is a specialized formwork for vertical structures of concrete which rises with the building. This kind of form work is relatively costlier than other formworks but is highly versatile. It is found to be an effectual solution for rapid construction of towers or skyscrapers having identical floor plan.

Climbing formwork systems consists of the formwork and a working platform for the purpose of cleaning and fixing of the formwork, steel fixing and casting. This formwork can only be supported on the concrete earlier hence it does not have any dependability on support system or access from any parts of the permanent work or building. Crane-independent forming, striking and climbing, the work process is optimized on the construction site and makes them independent of each other are some of the major advantages, using automatic or full Self climbing system. Using automatic climbing formwork the operational sequences are maintained and even can be accelerated, irrespective of the weather conditions.
Climbing formwork systems with varying degrees of sophistication and comply with most stringent safety standards.

Full self climbing formwork systems are typically used on high rise structures having more than 12 floor levels however Simple climbing formwork is generally used on low rise towers having five storey or more. A combination of crane-handled and self climbing system platforms is feasible on lower structures.

Shaft Platform consists of steel sections with built in automatic gravity pawls. Besides, all parts are reusable. The formwork is placed onto the non-trip shaft platform, which itself is made of decking plus beams tightened to the steel sections with flange clamps.

When climbing is required on the inner shaft formwork, it is spindled together and hoisted up one section with the shaft platform in a single crane cycle. The gravity pawl automatically positions itself into the box outs in the wall, which are designed for this purpose.

Especially for shafts, simple striking solution within the Tri-Tec wall system. When combined with Tri-Tec Striking Corners, the complete shaft formwork can be moved as a single unit. To comply with accident prevention regulations, the Striking Corners, together with the wall panels, are loosened from the concrete by means of manually-operated cranking spindles. Striking can also happen automatically when lifted by crane at the corner eye hooks because all four corners come off simultaneously.

Each side of the corner retracts by 30 mm, either through manual spindling or automatically by crane. This reduction allows enough clearance to move the shaft formwork aside and on to the next cycle.

By using the striking corner panels in place of regular ones, shuttering time and hence cost are reduced dramatically, much more so when combined with the shaft platform itself.
