Technology, Strategy, and CostsIn this article, we will talk about some of the new high-tech ways to protect your construction site from theft or other types of capital loss. Outdoor job sites or construction projects left unattended can be a very costly mistake. With that in mind, we want to be able to secure our materials and equipment from anyone who may be a potential thief or hindrance in the progress of the project. Radius Security recently published a helpful surveillance guide for 2018.Losses as a result of weather are materialistic or equipment-based. This can cause costly delays and replacements that get in the way of progress. Making sure to lock up or protect materials in a weather-proof storage area is a wonderful way to avoid this. But what about thievery? One of the most common of materials we have seen stolen from job sites is copper, among other recyclable metals. Other items frequently taken include equipment and power tools that can be sold for approximately half of

Poor quality power in a commercial building can be the source of a myriad of problems. Betweenvoltage sags as swells, over-voltage issues, harmonics, and grounding related problems, businesses canexperience repeated outages and be forced to replace sensitive components and equipment long beforeit’s natural end of life.But this is the route that many maintenance and plant managers find themselves taking. With a lack ofvisibility and knowledge into their building’s power issues, these professionals end up treating thesymptoms, while the real problems continue unchecked. The results are unplanned outages whilemechanical and electrical components are swapped out from failures. These fixes are quick but costly,and they never get to the root of the problem. Machinesense.com recently published a great list of power quality issues that can be solved for larger real buildings.What is needed is a real solution that exposes and addresses the actual issues. Moreover, it would behelpful if that sol

This was a recording breaking year, but not in the way that coastal homeowners wanted it to be. For the first time in 100 years, two Category 4 or greater hurricanes made U.S. landfall in the same year. The damaged cause by Irma is estimated to reach levels that rival the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The federal government picks up the tab on roughly 60 percent of damage cause by the storms, leaving the other 40 percent to be addressed by state and local governments, insurance, and individuals to foot the rest of the bill. With an estimated average of $28 billion in damage per year, that leaves roughly $11 billion for individuals, insurance, and local governments to absorb. In the case of Irma, that number increases fourfold.A Look at the Hurricane Damage Numbers for FloridaHurricane Irma was a Category 5 storm when it made landfall, and resulted in 25% of the homes in the Florida Keys being completely destroyed. More shocking is that experts state that not one sing

Your home offers you an amazing design opportunity. Art makes a house a home. Carefully chosen pieces of art reflect a family’s values, interests, and personality. It should not just be an afterthought, but central to your decorating and living process. Original art pieces can help tell the story of your special life. Not only does artwork make a visual statement, it can offer so much more. How do you want people to feel when entering your home? Set the mood with color and design. Consider first impression sightlines. A beautiful landscape portrait or a softly hued abstract canvas in an entryway can be welcoming. Each room in a house deserves consideration. A main living area is often the focus for fine art. Choose something that speaks to you. Both modern and traditional styles can set mood for this busy space. Look through selections in an online gallery such as ArstyHome.com, a great website to purchase original art to see the vast number of choices available. There are many mediums

Real estate virtual tours are awesome ways to show a home. As the prospect visually follows the tour they get a much better feeling for what the property is all about. It's a great idea to start from the front of the home and make your way in, moving from room to room like a pro.Take extra time on the nicest areas of the house, and the spots that are popular like bathrooms, living room, kitchen, etc.. Of course if you are allowed to fly a drone in your area it's great to swoop into the propery from great heights.Of course if the lawn is full of weeds, and the roof is missing shingles maybe skip that part. Sometimes people like to see the neighboorhood as well so you can fly the drone around to get those shots too. These guys are working on some interesting cool live video streaming solutions that may work great for real estate tours. The bottom line is make sure to get great footage with lots of natural light and you will do great.With recent technology advancements, we are eve

It’s an unfortunate reality for any business owner: sometimes a client doesn’t pay their bills. It’s a frustrating experience. You’ve done good work. You’ve delivered materials requested. You’ve completed projects to spec and on time. You’ve even paid your team. But still, the builder or homeowner is dragging their feet getting you a check. The good news is that you have options when it comes to collecting what’s owed to you. It’s called a construction lien, or some may call it a mechanics lien. It allows you to take legal action to get paid for services rendered and supplies delivered. There is a catch, though. Construction liens have a strict set of procedures to follow, and some of the requirements for filing one must be established long before you ever know you’ll need one.What is a Construction Lien?A construction lien is a claim made by a tradesman, organization, or supplier who has provided work against a property. It is a legal remedy for professionals who have performed work o

Before you look for a home, you need to know how much money you have to spend. And for most new homeowners, the majority of that money is going to come in the form of a mortgage. Before you buy your home (and secure your Huntington Beach mortgage), you have two options in determining your budget with your lender: you can either get pre-qualified or pre-approved for your loan.Here's a good video to watch if you are brand new:   Many potential homebuyers don’t understand the difference and believe pre-qualification and pre-approval are interchangeable. But that’s not the case. Pre-qualification occurs when you provide financial information to the lender and the lender uses the information you provide in order to make an estimate of how much they might be willing to lend you. Pre-approval happens when the lender takes your information and supporting documentation (like pay stubs and W2s) and verifies it with the appropriate sources. Once your information is verified, the lender can gi

If you’re on the market for a new home, the biggest hurdle is likely to be how you’re going to pay for that home. Unless you’ve got cash to pay for the home front (and in which case, congratulations), you’re going to need to secure financing in the form of a mortgage. A mortgage is essentially a loan that covers the cost of your home. You’re responsible for paying back the loan plus interest over the course of years (typically 15 or 30).  The concept of a mortgage is pretty simple. You borrow money from a lender to pay for your home and then pay them back the total you borrowed plus the interest you accrue over the life of the loan. But the types of mortgages available to you aren’t quite as simple. You have two main options when it comes to securing a mortgage: a fixed rate or an adjustable rate mortgage. But what’s the difference? What are the pros and cons of each? And which is the best choice for you and your finances? Fixed Rate Mortgages A fixed rate mortgage is a mortgage with a

When the time comes to sell their property, many homeowners first thought is to manage the process themselves. “Why hire someone to do a job I can do myself?” And while selling your home independently is certainly an option, the road to “Sold” is significantly more challenging than you might think. The road to “Sold” is full of detours, twists, and bumps along the road, and without someone to guide you through it, it’s easy to get lost. To get the most out of selling your home, you need to work with someone who’s traveled that road before. And that person is a real estate agent. Working with a real estate agent who has significant experience in your market can make the process of selling your home faster, easier, and significantly less stressful.  Here are three reasons why you need to work with a real estate agent when selling your home: Real Estate Agents Know Your Market As a homeowner, you know the ins and outs of your property. Unfortunately, chances are you don’t have the same ki

When getting ready to purchase a home, it’s important to set a budget before contacting a Calgary real estate agent. In addition to the recurring costs of owning a home (like a monthly mortgage payment, property taxes, and insurance), there are additional costs that some homeowners are not aware of - including closing costs. Closing costs are the fees you’re responsible for paying when the sellers transfer the title of the property to you, the new owners (also known as closing). For homeowners who are unaware of or unprepared to deal with closing costs, these additional fees can be a serious blow to their budget. That’s why it’s important to understand what closing costs you can expect when you close on your home - that way, you can factor it into your budget and won’t run into any expensive surprises at the finish line of the home buying process.  What Closing Costs You Can Expect There’s no one-size-fits-all set of closing costs; the closing costs you pay will depend on where you liv
