It can be very challenging to predict how much you need to save for upcoming projects. Does your roof replacement cost the same as it would have three years ago? What about your window replacement project looming in the next 10 years?
When a flat roof membrane reaches the end of its service life, you should be beware of new code requirements that will impact the design of your roof assembly.
In our experience, 25+ year old condominium buildings across Ontario are struggling with poor performing windows and have not set aside sufficient funds to pay for major repairs and replacement.
When we, LCC 9, first decided to put new windows in our 143 unit building in Sarnia Ontario we decided to go with Edison Engineers of London Ontario. That was the best decision we as a Board could have made. Edison was involved in all aspects of the project and did a wonderful job start to finish.
When we started to talk about a engineering company to be involved in the project l personally thought it was a lot of money to oversee a project but l can tell you today, with 20/20 hindsight, that the money we spent with Edison Engineers was by far the best money we spent in the entire project. Edison takes all the pressure of the Board of Directors they are always on top of the progress of the job and they know what to look for on a project of this size. They handled all financial pay outs to the window manufacture/ installing company and they also held all hold backs until after the job was complete.
Joe McGowan was our project manager from Edison and he was excellent. Never got rattled and was always in charge and on top of things and Joe is very easy to communicate with and is very knowledgeable about projects like this. If l moved to another condo and was elected to the Board and they had a upcoming window project l would recommend to the Board to make one phone call and that would be to Joe McGowan and Edison Engineers. They know what they are doing.
