The Principal often wants to “just get it done”, the Property Manager is keen to “take it slowly and get it right” while the CFO would prefer to put it off till next budget. But if all parties understand some basic points, it’ll all come together for you. Here are 5 things to consider when going through the process:
Lead was banned in paint in 1979 which seems like a long time ago now, surely all that paint is gone by now? However, this is often not the case. Older buildings are often layered with many years of paint and as they are prepared properly the methods will likely expose old layers of paint from previous years.
Managing health and safety on projects can be a real challenge. However, it’s something that cannot be overlooked because all parties, directly and indirectly involved have a legal obligation to provide a safe and healthy workplace at all times.
What are we as a painting company trying to tell you about engineering? Well, we know enough that moisture and heat are the 2 most likely culprits to break down your structural integrity. Minimising these 2 things will give your buildings a much longer lifespan.
