Project RemediatE Issues surrounding non-compliant cladding have made headlines across the globe over the passed few years. It's great to finally see the provision of interest free loans and a program to coordinate remedial works and support Owners Corporations affected by dodgy cladding on their strata buildings. The Office of the Building Commissioner and the NSW government are on track to appoint the Managing Contractor for this extensive re-cladding project by the end of May 2021 with all works under the program to be complete by end of June 2024. For more information, refer to the NSW Government's website: https://www.nsw.gov.au/customer-service/projects-and-initiatives/project-remediate To discuss how we can help with your re-clad, get in touch with us: sales@empowerconstruction.com.au or 1300 268 041

 Accessible Safety TrainingRegular training in safety and building techniques go hand in hand at Empower Construction. In September we held a training day at our warehouse and product testing centre to verify the competency of employees and subcontractors as the Person in Charge of operating the Hebel Hoist. Under the guidance of our own qualified riggers and dogmen, and in consultation with engineers from CSR Hebel we reviewed the process for safe assembly of the Hebel Hoist for party wall installation and the predetermined lift process including safe panel handling. The development of diagrammatic daily checklists ensure that instructions are easily understood by everyone in the team no matter their level of English. We now have 20 trained and competent Persons In Charge to service the growing demand for Hebel inter-tenancy and zero boundary wall installation using the cost effective Hebel Hoist.

Hi Tech Pandemic Tips COVID19 has made us all think about what we need in the office to help people work productively out of the office. After researching a number of cost effective solutions to make our remote meetings more inclusive, we went with a Jabra system. The set up includes a bluetooth omni-directional microphone which is also an HD Voice speaker and a panoramic 180 degree 4K camera with smart technology enabling it to detect faces in the room and adjust the picture to the remote viewer accordingly. We are really happy with it. Does anyone else have any tips?
