I thought this was worth sharing with fellow members.

Subject: Construction Oversight
Posted: 05 Apr 2022 at 9:01pm

I have a local colleague in California who has a client that is building a new single family residence in Washington, CT.  The owner is looking for someone to do construction oversight. My colleague isn't interested in traveling back and forth and would like to find someone more local to take over this role.

Does anyone have interest or a referral I can pass along?

Thank you.

Subject: Dow Allguard Adhesion to 795 Sealant
Posted: 16 Jun 2021 at 8:46pm

Is anyone having problems with Dow Allguard adhering to 795 Sealant?
- project is in San Francisco
- Dow suggested cleaning the new and (e) sealant with either acetone or isopropyl alcohol after the iso showed failures and contractor worked on better cleaning.
- Allguard has been applied for about 14 days now with iso and acetone attempts, but we're still getting peeling off of new and (e) 795 sealant. Dow expects that this is a short term problem that will self correct with time, but contractor wants to move the swing stage, but doesn't have clear results that there work is adequate?

Please let me know if anyone else is having this issue. Thanks!

Subject: Interior Building Condensation
Posted: 16 Mar 2021 at 4:33pm

We are in the process of Waterproofing a 5 story residental stucco wall apartment building in San Francisco.  Water condensation on the interior walls is evident in the bedrooms and living room, not related to any rain leakage.  This condition was ocuring before we remove the failing stucco and partial wood substurctue that revealed no original building paper or insullation in the walls or ceilings.  We installed new wood as needed and the Henrys Blue skin membrane.  We are in the process of installing a new three coat stucco system on this five story wood structure.  The building was built in 1920, has all new double pane windows and no insullation in any of the walls or roof. We expected that adding a waterproof membrane would stop the condensation.  Could this problem be related to no insullation in the walls and ceilings?]]> Tue, 16 Mar 2021 16:33:47 +0000 /forum.asp/forum_posts.asp?TID=19&PID=39#39 /forum.asp/forum_posts.asp?TID=17&PID=38#38 Author: kmcbride@centurybsi.com

I communicated with Stacey Grund in Seattle and the Governor issued orders there that no construction work or restoration activities would be allowed unless they are directly related to and Essential Service such as health, distribution, utilities or transportation. The result for his companies is that they are laying off 75 to 100 employees. He also indicated that the Families First Coronavirus Act passed by the US Congress does not take effect until April 2nd. ADP Payroll Services has some resources for interpreting this Act and how to track it in your payroll.

Not sure how long California will let us operate, but we can easily predict that our revenue will drop and bidding opportunities will be much less as the crisis deepens. We will have a better idea toward the end of April, but it looks like the economy will be on the skids well into summer.

California is allowing construction and "Essential Services" to maintain building infrastructure. We will see how long that will last. Our crews are operating with strict check-in and work protocols that are consistent with the CDC guidelines for personal hygiene and social distancing.]]> Sun, 22 Mar 2020 13:23:58 +0000 /forum.asp/forum_posts.asp?TID=17&PID=37#37 /forum.asp/forum_posts.asp?TID=17&PID=36#36 Author: gneiderer@walkerconsultants.com

Yikes, I spoke too soon. The Governor of PA banned all construction and architecture/engineering from proceeding except for virtual efforts from home. ]]> Fri, 20 Mar 2020 13:24:02 +0000 /forum.asp/forum_posts.asp?TID=17&PID=36#36 /forum.asp/forum_posts.asp?TID=18&PID=35#35 Author: nicole@cranemartin.com

Here in Philadelphia Walker is seeing indoor construction cancelled but outdoor construction is more erratic. A few sites have closed, but most are open. A few public clients are actually authorizing additional work since their facilities are being under-utilized and therefore much easier to close access for repairs.     ]]> Thu, 19 Mar 2020 09:04:10 +0000 /forum.asp/forum_posts.asp?TID=17&PID=34#34 /forum.asp/forum_posts.asp?TID=17&PID=33#33 Author: deren.koseoglu@kaneka.com

We here at Kaneka have implemented a travel ban, no attendance to gatherings of more than 15 people, and commencing tomorrow all staff who can work from home should do so.

I'm curious what is happening to construction jobsites across the country? We haven't heard much on our end.]]> Wed, 18 Mar 2020 16:05:20 +0000 /forum.asp/forum_posts.asp?TID=17&PID=33#33
