BCCA has developed a checklist for navigating the current tariff situation with the U.S., which has been reviewed by Tyler Galbraith, Construction Lawyer and Partner at Jenkins Marzban Logan LLP.
This checklist outlines best practices and key considerations for trade and general contractors to help them assess risk, address contract provisions, and take informed action.
Salaries for electrical contractors follow a steady trend: increasing with years experience and plateauing at an average $34.82/hr.
From 1992 to 2008, electrician Denis Lapointe worked at the Canada Revenue Agency’s Ottawa taxation facility drilling and pulling wires through walls, floors and ceilings. In the process, he may have been exposing himself and others to asbestos. According to CBC news reports, Lapointe learned that asbestos was present only while reading a 1995 building condition report —despite laws requiring employers to inform workers of hazards they may be exposed to. To find out more, he had to file access to information requests.
Investment in residential construction totalled $34.5 billion in the fourth quarter, up 9.2% (+$2.9 billion) compared with the same period in 2016.
If your plant is unexpectedly shut down due to the current crisis, you can use this pause in production as an opportunity to review and improve safety procedures.
