Over 60 years of case histories, and research studies by top authorities in a number of fields worldwide, have revealed an ever worsening crisis and alarmingly dangerous long-term property related trend…

A number A number of very of very hazardoushazardous and and costlycostly factors related to factors related to buildings, roofs, structures and properties buildings, roofs, structures and properties have been identified have been identified and warned about repeatedly – These have been increasing in and warned about repeatedly – These have been increasing in severity and frequency, year by year!severity and frequency, year by year!

DESPITE THE PRESENCE OF REGULAR FIRE CONSULTANT INSPECTIONS, COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATES, FIRE EXTINGUISHERS ETC.

MOST BUILDINGS CONTAIN UNSEEN HIGH RISKS OF MAJOR FIRES AND BURNOUTS!THE NUMBER OF SEVERE BUILDING FIRES AND BURNOUTS IS INCREASING SHARPLY – THOUSANDS OF CASES GET REPORTED ANNUALY!

Billions of Rands are being lost Billions of Rands are being lost annually by corrosion and weathering annually by corrosion and weathering

entire factory!entire factory!This was caused by SUBSTANDARD repair work – Very common in these

times!

9

Severe risks to life and health, due to the widespread use of very biohazardous asbestos

As well as the widespread presence in many roofs and buildings of VERY COMBUSTIBLE insulation and other materials that burn very aggressively and spread major fires rapidly!!

And which in

many cases can

release life

threatening

quantities of …

Deadly hydrogen-cyanide gas!!

10

Example - A type of polyurethane foam, very commonly found in buildings and roofs, caused the deaths of 177 miners in a Kinross mine fire!

Do you have large quantities of one of these deadly products somewhere in your building or roof?

Are you really sure of this?

11

Most contractors do not apply the

full OHS requirements

12

THIS HAS LEAD TO MANY DEATHS, CRIPPLING INJURIES, DAMAGES AND LOSSES ETC. OVER THE YEARS

THIS COULD VERY EASILY FALL INTO THE NEXT CATEGORY OF MAJOR CONCERN!

13

Overlooked legal  transgressions which could result in

prosecution, major fines and jail sentences, for managers,

owners and tenants!

As we technologically advance so do the solutions needed to fully resolve these problems. A quick-fix is just that – a Quick fix.  Then that Quick-fix becomes the next immediate serious and very costly problem to resolve. 

Problems are only resolved by in-depth investigations to get the exact root cause to that specific problem and then ensuring that the exact right solution is correctly and fully applied! 

14

QUICK-FIXES = FAST & VERY EXPENSIVE FAILURES!

15

A NIGHTMARE TO SOLVE?

REPAIRING AND PRESERVING ROOFS AND BUILDINGS CORRECTLY AND AFFORDABLY CAN OFTEN GET FAR, FAR MORE DIFFICULT AND FRUSTRATING THAN THE

DIABOLICAL RUBIK’S CUBE!

16

THE PARTS OF THIS UNSOLVABLE CONUNDRUM INCLUDE:

ACID RAIN AND CORROSIVE ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION

NEAR EXTINCT RELIABLE SPECIALIST CONTRACTORS

SEVERE NATIONAL TRADE SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE LOSS

THE INDUSTRY IS NOSE-DEEP IN “CHEAP AND NASTY”, “LICK AND STICK” HARMFUL GIMMICK WATERPROOFING AND SHORT-LIVED “MAGIC REPAIR SYSTEMS AND PAINTS”

MASSES OF FALSE INFORMATION, VERY LITTLE RELIABLE INFO

OUT OF CONTROL LABOUR AND MATERIAL COST INCREASES

VERY TIGHT NATIONAL ECONOMY AND MAINTENANCE BUDGETS

ETC.

17

BUT TO NEGLECT OR PATCH FIX THESE PROPERTIES

WILL BECOME MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE,

UNAFFORDABLE AND PROBLEMATIC IN THE END!

THIS SEEMS TO CREATE AN UNSOLVABLE CRISIS FOR A
