ARE THERE INVISIBLE PROBLEMS LURKING IN THE SHADOWS OF YOUR BUILDING? - Spring 2019

Invisible problems can be the most costly because they are difficult to see………..and difficult to plan for.

Doug Clark and his Building Sciences Group from WSP Canada Inc. – Winnipeg Office - presented the CCI Lunch & Learn session for March 21, 2019 with an informative and animated presentation of the feature topic.

The PowerPoint presentation dealt with - a series of examples showing the significance of maintaining the key elements of Condo buildings with regular maintenance programs. These included the Site Elements, Building Exteriors/ Interiors, Roofs, Parkades, Electrical & Mechanical Systems, Windows & Walls. Thank you to the speakers from WSP -Samantha Draward, Krista Corley and Tim Reeve. (And the Invisible Man – Andrew Klassen)

We would like to acknowledge and thank the three eager ladies who willingly volunteered to don hard hats, work gloves and risk getting caulking compound on themselves – who showed the audience what fun window caulking can be! Thanks to our CCI Board President – Maureen Hancharyk who helped officiate the timed competition.
