The formwork is built on site out of timber and plywood or moisture-resistant particleboard.

This formwork is built out of prefabricated modules with a metal frame (usually steel or aluminum) and covered on the application (concrete) side with material having the wanted surface structure (steel, aluminum, timber, etc.).

These interlocking and modular systems are used to build widely variable, but relatively simple, concrete structures.

This formwork is assembled on site, usually out of insulating concrete forms (ICF).

This formwork is assembled on site, usually out of prefabricated fiber-reinforced plastic forms.

In contrast to the rigid molds described above, flexible formwork is a system that uses lightweight, high strength sheets of fabric to take advantage of the fluidity of concrete and create highly optimized, architecturally interesting, building forms.

Tubes are usually made either of steel or aluminium; The tubes come in a variety of lengths and a standard diameter of 48.3 mm.

Couplers are the fittings which hold the tubes together. The most common are called scaffold couplers, and there are three basic types: right-angle couplers, putlog couplers and swivel couplers.

Boards provide a working surface for scaffold users. They are seasoned wood and come in three thicknesses (38 mm (usual), 50 mm and 63 mm) are a standard width (225 mm) and are a maximum of 3.9 m long.

These are Tube and Coupler (fitting) components, prefabricated modular system scaffold components, H-frame / facade modular system scaffolds, timber scaffolds.

Good foundations are essential. Often scaffold frameworks will require more than simple base plates to safely carry and spread the load. Scaffolding can be used without base plates on concrete or similar hard surfaces, although base plates are always recommended.

If you are in the city limits, you will need a building permit. This means that you will need building plans. Be prepared to invest in a good set of plans. Connect with us today for consultation on your plans.

When you are applying for a development application, there are a number of steps you should take to help the process go as quickly and smoothly as possible.

• Check the zoning and relevant bylaws
• Ask for a referral to a Development Planner
• Bring all of the required documents and drawings with you when you apply
• Pay the application fee

Sometimes your plans will not be the most efficient way of doing things, and a little input from your contractor can save you a lot of money.

The PECCO PC 1600 Tower Crane is an industry standard on most construction sites.  Please connect with us for specifications.

A telehandler, teleporter, or boom lift, is somewhat like a forklift but has a boom (Telescopic cylinder), making it more a crane than a forklift, with the increased versatility of a single telescopic or articulating boom that can extend forwards and upwards from the vehicle.

A concrete pump is a machine used for transferring liquid concrete by pumping. Connect with us for specifications.

Performance Bonds offer a guarantee that project work will be performed according to the defined terms and conditions of the contract. Performance Bonds provide monetary compensation to the project owner in the event that a contractor defaults in some manner, and causes the project to suffer a loss. Contractor default may ensue for a variety of reasons, including project mismanagement, lack of financial capital, even contractor insolvency. In most cases, a recognized Surety Company issues the Performance Bond on the request of a contractor (known as the principal), and when a new job contract is being signed with a project owner (known as the obligee).

To determine whether or not a contractor qualifies for performance bonds, the surety will look to the 3 “C´s” of credit.

Character: Does the contractor have a good track record, good references and integrity?
Capacity: Does the contractor have sufficient cash flow to service the job and to weather potential delays in payment? Is a line of credit in place, in case of emergency?
Capital: Does the contractor have a strong net worth position?

This means we have the business license, the proper insurance and have made payments to a surety company for protection by a bond. The insurance company or surety company will be responsible for covering any financial losses.

There are two common types: liability insurance and workers’ compensation.

Liability insurance covers such situations as contractor-caused damage to your property, although it doesn’t typically pay for repairing or replacing shoddy work. That is the reason for the bond.

Workers’ compensation provides payment to injured workers for lost wages and medical services, regardless of who was at fault. Workers’ compensation coverage will also provide benefits to the contractor’s family in the event of a work-related death.
