The Ultimate Green

www.heggblog.com – Today’s inspiration comes from an article titled “The ultimate in ‘green’ construction” published by Lowe’s this week. Well, you can google it.

Restore & Renovate Old Buildings

It shares how adapting buildings we’ve already built is really the greenest form of construction. Adapting, renovating, restoring.

The life span of buildings in Europe is greater than buildings in the USA and even greater than those in Australia. All the stained timber you see on the walls and ceiling in this grand lounge room of a Californian Bungalow in Sydney Australia was painted white [but originally in circa 1917 it had beeswax staining]. Circa 1999 the owners had the white paint stripped off! The polished kauri pine floorboards were bare timber except for black japan on the outer edges which the rug could not cover.

Como Building P/L, Michael Como provides in SYDNEY, an NSW Building Regulations Consultancy service that comprises, Interpretation of NSW legislation relevant to the construction of Class 1 and 10; Issuing: Complying Development Certificates (CDC), Construction Certificates (CC) [after a local council has approved a development], Occupation certificates (OC), Compliance Certificates, NCC Building Code Australia Reports. Engagement for the certification work is on a contract basis.

Also, a pre-purchase property inspection or building inspection by Michael Como may empower you with knowledge about the condition of a property currently or before you buy it and help you avoid future problems and unexpected costs. However, this service can only be conducted if the insurer is on-side, and currently, they are not and as a result, we do not conduct it.
