24.01.2022 Did you know we have a 6 stage process for finding the right solution? We usually find that our clients have been issued with a building order and they don't really know where to start. Whenever we work with building owners, body corporates and construction companies, we go through a 6 stage process: 1 Identify - check if a building is non-compliant by working with a qualified building inspector or fire Engineer... 2 Quantify - determine the type of cladding that's in place and its combustibility rating (ie, risk status) 3 Recommend - create a project scope of works with recommendations on costs, timeframe, materials used and expected outcomes 4 Demolish - remove all flammable cladding and destroy 5 Replace - an alternate non-combustible cladding will be used to integrate into the buildings façade or wherever the cladding is being replaced 6 Comply - provide a Certificate of Compliance for Legislative bodies and the Insurance Companies We find this process gives all stakeholders comfort and at all stages of the project they're aware of what is happening.

23.01.2022 Part of the Victorian Cladding Taskforce process is Rectification Planning. These are the steps they follow: A Building Notice is issued by the Municipal Building Surveyor (MBS) A building notice is a show cause notice - it requires owners to demonstrate why building work should not be done, or why some or all of the combustible cladding should not be removed... Even though a Building Notice is a statutory instrument, the intention of a Building Notice is to start a conversation between parties A Building Notice is a mandatory step before the MBS issues a Building Order, following which building work must be done Building work can be expensive, and it is important for owners to have a chance to speak to the MBS, before commencing any work If owners choose to only remove part of the cladding, they should make an application to the Building Appeals Board (BAB) - they have the power to determine if the solution would also bring the building into compliance with the relevant rules and regulations. Although clear, it can be a complicated process. Let us help you navigate it and get the right outcome for all stakeholders. Need to talk about it? Get in touch with our team.

It wasn't only McDonald's though, a Sydney apartment building had it installed externally and have now been required to have it... removed. That's why our process of: > > > > > Is so important to follow. That way you can be certain of any risks or liabilities you have, what level of risk and what you need to do to change it.

10.01.2022 Fairview is part of the speaker line-up for the upcoming webinar ‘Shifting Towards a Circular Economy’ being held on Tuesday 17 November, 2020. Fairview’s Industry Engagement Manager Melissa Herrmann will be presenting a case study on Ecoloop, a Fairview initiative and Australia’s first circular ACP solution, diverting 100% of non-compliant ACP from landfill.

The construction industry has a major impact on the environment; the sector is responsible for over 30% of natural resources extracted as well as 25% of solid waste generated in the world.

What’s needed is an alignment of recycling and manufacturing, so that waste is considered a valuable resource and reused to the maximum extent possible. Join the webinar to hear about how we can introduce circular economy principles into the construction industry. Date: Tuesday 17 November, 2020 Time: 10am 12pm Follow the link for more information about the webinar and registration details.
