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.
We have just completed major repairs to our garage at 275 Bamburgh Circle in Scarborough, Ontario, costing over $1,000,000. Our building has Post Tensioning Cables in the Garage and throughout the Building. The project was completed on time and below budget. I represented our Condominium Board during the repairs. I was completely satisfied with the way Edison Engineers represented our Corporation. They have also represented us with the replacement of our Heating and Hot Water Boilers. I have strongly recommended Edison Engineers to the other two Corporations in our Complex. We are presently using them on other projects in our Building and our Board of Directors are very satisfied with their performance.
