From the Desk

This all plays out against a backdrop of en-ergy generation capacity which will reduce from its current 42 000 MW to 10 000 MW by 2030.

Those figures were published by the Department of Mineral and Energy as early as 2003 and were reconfirmed in November 2009 by Eskom.

Of course it is not as bleak as it seems. We are at least building one power station having a generat-ing capacity of 4500 MW while undoubtedly the de-commissioning of power stations as envisaged will be extended.

Notwithstanding, assuming a four percent growth rate, our country may well require some 80000 MW generating capacity by 2030.

Meeting demandPut in another way our country requires the comple-tion of 15 power stations having a capacity of 4500 MW each to meet this demand during the next 20 – 30 years.

Of course the required environmental impact studies will reveal the amount of CO2 that will be released by these proposed 15 coal fixed power stations.

An option would be to build some 35 nuclear (Koeberg type) power stations to meet our country’s energy generating capacity. There are currently no other viable / economical options available to provide

Building Regulation XA – Energy Usage is currently out for public comment and so is SANS 10400 – XA. These two

publications should be read in tandem and will, once published, assist in government reaching its goal to reduce

energy usage.

this kind of energy generating capacity. In view of the above we are pleased to endorse Building Regulation XA as it will reduce the energy usage in the building industry by some 3000 MW per annum when fully implemented.

So roll out SANS 204 – Energy Efficiency in Build-ings. This standard was published in October 2008 and has been, in the main, ignored by the building industry ever since. One could argue that 4500 MW that could have been saved since the publication was in fact not saved. Hence the Government interventions through the National Building Regulations to ensure future buildings are done in line with SANS 204.

Assistance availableTo assist the building professional our Association has established an independently run laboratory (SANAS approved) to provide reliable information regarding the thermal performance of fenestration systems and wall and roof assemblies.

This laboratory has been operational for some time and has shown test results which are not necessarily in line with thermal performance of products claimed by their individual marketing / manufactures brochures.

Our association together with the Central Energy Fund (CEF) and the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) will establish the South African Regional Energy Efficiency Centre (SAREEC) for research and testing building envelope materials and systems and practically demonstrate green building technologies.

We believe that this initiative will reap great results for the academic, professional and industrial fields of the building industry and create greater living comfort to all.

COVER STORY

The exuberant managing director of Primador has great plans for the company, which he laughingly describes as “smaller than the competition”, while listing a string of achievements that clearly make it a strong market contender. “We’re working hard towards market leadership,” he admits.

Strong rangeA level 6 BEE accredited company, Primador is the first aluminium window and door manufacturer to have tested its windows in the CSIR’s hotbox. Rigorous trials included wind deflection, water penetration and calculation of thermal efficiency. “We came through with a good u-rating, and look-ing forward to lowering our score even further in due coarse” Delmè says with pride. “Our top hung window and Elite patio door also achieved an A3-rating through AAAMSA and we’ve maintained strong ties with this association.”

The company has also forged strong ties with ar-

Opening Doors“When people specify an aluminium door,

we’d like Primador to be the name they ask for,” smiles Delmè Thomas during a conver-

sation with “Architect & Specificator”.

chitectural IT stalwart, Autospec, in a partnership that will give architects and designers the ability to team doors and windows with their choice of specialized performance glass. Sister company, GSA, has added its substantial database of prod-ucts into the mix.

“Specifiers will be able to choose a product and then glaze it with a Smart Glass performance product, stipulating properties such as thermal values, light transmission or acoustic properties. This information is saved into the specifications prior to submission of a tender,” he tells us.

This will come as a welcome innovation for current fans of the range, who have already used Primador products in high profile projects such as the five star Kapama resort in Hoedspruit. Forays into the African continent have yielded considerable exposure in Mozambique, Zambia, Angola and Ghana, with a 3 500 unit installation pending in East Africa.

Good coverageBoasting a national footprint, Primador has four factories throughout the country: in Durban, Port Elizabeth, Cape Town and the flagship in Babalegi, near Hammanskraal. Products include a compre-hensive range of patio doors, windows, sliding folding doors, single and double front doors, shop fronts and framed shower doors. Windows and door ranges have both standard and elite options, which

include top and sidelights.

“We are also in the process of imple-menting training programmes on installation of our products,” adds Delmè. “This will have the two-fold advantage of promoting our range, while meeting a need for skilled in-stallers in the industry.” The course is aligned with merCETA installation qualifications, with plans for ac-creditation and a training academy in the pipeline.

It’s clear that Primador is opening doors to a wealth of new opportuni-ties and Delmè acknowledges that his team thrives on this. “We’re an energetic young company with the enthusiasm to tackle innovative projects. We want to play a proactive role in changing the way people build homes in South Africa.”

PRACTICE PROFILE

No Arbitrary Matter

The stereotypical notion of female-inspired design being flowery and frivolous has no place in the portfolio of Tania Glavas; this woman is all about strong style and bold state-

ments.

Tania’s design style is strong and bold (House Bow)

Tania Glavas

Examples of ‘David & Goliath’ claims in the industry are rife

PRACTICE PROFILE

More than just an architect, Tania is a registered NHBRC builder with a solid understanding of the perils of the construction industry. “I’ve

designed and built many of my own houses,” she tells “Architect & Specificator”, admitting that it’s a good way to learn the ropes. “I also completed the Arbitration ‘Certificate’ course last year and am now busy with the practice ‘Fellowship’ course with the Association of Arbitrators SA for the purpose of taking on disputes between clients and builders.”

Dispute resolutionShe explains that there is a move in the industry towards favouring contracts that stipu-late disputes be settled by arbitration rather than through litigation. “It makes a lot of sense because disagreements can be resolved quicker and with less expense than going through the courts. An award can be made in just a few months and is final, binding and enforced by the court.

“The practice is commonplace in the UK, where it has be-come the dispute resolution mechanism of choice. Locally it has become mandated as the means by which all sectional title disputes are resolved,” Tania explains.

“Construction can be prone to misunderstandings and dissatisfaction. Arbitration is an effective way of set-tling matters, hopefully to the satisfaction of all parties.

There is a growing demand for qualified profes-sionals to facilitate the process in South Africa,” she continues.

Arbitration process“Although you can choose anyone over 18 and of sound mind to be an arbitrator in a matter, it’s recommended to go through the Association of Ar-bitrators SA. They’ll assign an accredited arbitrator


PRACTICE PROFILE

A building should reflect the owner’s character (House Craven)

A building should fit sensitively into its surroundingsThere is a move in the industry towards favouring contracts that stipulate disputes be settled by arbitration rather than through litigation

on their board to the case based on that person’s experience in the relevant industry. Decisions are binding, however, in very rare cases a party may appeal to the Association for the re-election of a new arbitrator if it has been shown that the first arbitrator’s award was biased.

According to the Law of Arbitration, arbitration must be conducted by an individual with no interest or relationship with either party who is able to act impartially and diligently in handling the dispute. Fellowship with the Association comes after a four module course incorporating both theory and practice. Candidates include specialists in a range of professions from architecture, accounting, and even lawyers themselves need to go through a preapproval process for admission to the course.

David & Goliath“There are too many instances in which one of the parties is at a distinct disadvantage,” Tania adds. “It’s often a case of a large company taking advantage of a smaller party who is not able to litigate fully for financial reasons or some similar restraint. These people need representation too, regardless of their stature in the industry.”

Examples of ‘David & Goliath’ claims in the industry are rife, with small contractors often at the mercy of big developers, or homeowners left to contend with builders who don’t deliver on contractual agreements. Here Tania has a particular interest since most of her projects are rebuilds and renova-tions in the residential market.

Small disputes need attention just as much as the big ones do.” she wraps up.

Call for entriesArchiprix International invites all universities and colleges teaching architecture, urban design and landscape architecture to select their best gradu-ation project and to ask the designer(s) to submit the selected project for participation.

Designers who have graduated since 1 July 2008 are eligible to participate and projects can be sub-mitted until 1 September 2010. All projects will be presented in an exhibition, on the website, and in a book containing a DVD and all the designers will be invited to the workshops which will be held in May/June 2011 in Cambridge USA. Participation is free of charge.

After four successful editions, Archiprix International 2011 will be hosted and co-organised by the Mas-sachusetts Institute of Technology and the School of Architecture and Planning.

Archiprix has invited MIT and the Platform for Per-manent Modernity to engage in a discussion about architectural practice in its totality.

Is there a future for a critical global architecture project, now that our eyes have become tired of countless global icons, with every monument glitzier than every previous one?

Is ‘critical regionalism’ the alternative to the prolif-eration of global icons?

Or has regional difference already been eroded to the point where resuscitating it is a matter of nostalgia? And if so, how should one deal with the rising global mutiny against globalisation?

Is the post-icon age one characterised by a new muteness? Archiprix and MIT will create an ex-periment aimed at the possibility of a statement on what constitutes ‘critical’ in architecture on an international scale.

The best projects will receive the Hunter Douglas Awards.

Similarly there is real danger in letting the quantity surveyor manage the project. While he is vital in controlling the finances, when he starts to dictate design policy you can end up with a facility that is built around the wrong priorities. All professionals therefore need to be managed and controlled to ensure the facility design focuses on the opera-tional needs.

How does one do this? How do you create a pro-cess that will allow you to focus the resources on creating a facility that primarily meets operational needs and optimises efficiencies, rather than creat-ing a pretty facility which is of no use to anybody? Below I provide some guidelines to building the best possible warehouse.

Warehouse guidelinesMake sure the facilities are wrapped around the optimum process. When it comes to any deci-sions the actual process must take priority. You need a strong logistician to control and manage the processes.

Who Built my Warehouse?

I have a friend who is an interior decora-tor. She tells me that there are two types of clients she likes to work with – those

who know a lot about decorating and can add real value to her efforts, and those

who know nothing and leave her alone to do ‘her thing’. The worst clients are those

who know a little and spend their lives interfering, thereby messing up all the

good ideas.

There is real danger in letting the quantity surveyor manage the project

Martin Bailey, ILS

Our business in developing warehouse designs is no different. Our worst facili-ties are those where we have a client or an architect with some (dangerous)

knowledge which inevitably leads to design by com-mittee, where one spends one’s life compromising and trying to appease people who do not understand the consequences of their interference.

Prima donasFor example, partially informed architects can be a major problem. While ‘arty’ Prima Dona architects can substantially add to the aesthetics of the facility, an architect who starts to dictate how the facility is going to operate is going to end up compromising the design. Clearly any well-designed warehouse needs to be wrapped around the operational pro-cesses and thus must be driven by the logistics consultant – not the architect.

Too many facilities resemble cheap shacks

Storage is all about volume, not footprint. Use as much height as possible within the optimum tech-nology range chosen. This usually implies facilities between 13 and 15m high (for pallet storage).

The most critical components of a warehouse are the floor and the roof. Don’t compromise on the quality of these components. There is great new floor technology available – use it.

Best on the marketDon’t forget the life of the building is typically four times longer than the kit in the facility – a design should therefore incorporate as much flexibility as possibility for future changes. This typically involves the use of large spans (over 24m) and high roof clearances.

Docks and doors facilitate materials flow – so don’t compromise in this area. Buy the best docks and doors available on the market and make sure they are auto-mated where possible. This improves operations and reduces damage. Also make sure docks are at the right height (regardless of the building costs) and that you have a sufficient number of doors for receiving and dispatch.

Proper flowMost facilities are designed primarily for distribution – not storage. Accordingly, make sure there is room for proper flow. For example, sufficient space must be provided for staging, returns, cross docking, packing, checking and all related processes.

Trucks get bigger and bigger – allow sufficient space to turn, stage, park, dock, load and manoeuvre vehicles. This may involve big run-outs (over 40m!), proper access ways and good quality infrastructures.

Pleasant placesDon’t forget all the services – such as security, charging, washing, re-packing, cleaning, main-taining, etc. These services are vital to efficient operations.

People work in warehouses – so make them pleas-ant places by controlling colour, temperature, ventilation, lighting, noise, safety and all related ergonomic issues.

Risk strategyIf you operate in a controlled industry, for example pharmaceuticals or foodstuffs, make certain you comply with all the related legislation, standards and HACCP conditions. These rules may radically alter the way you do business and operate your facilities.

Warehouses are risky places. They can easily burn down and disasters are fairly common. You must

set up an intelligent risk strategy, commensurate with the product stored and the strategic nature of the business. Then make sure this strategy can be implemented though intelligent facility designs.

Technology can be a great help in improving throughput, accuracy and efficiency. Take care to use the most appropriate technology for your business operations.

Cheap shacksWhere possible, use materials that will look good in 20 years time. Too many facilities resemble cheap shacks, simply because not enough time is spent choosing the best materials for construction.

In most facilities, picking is the most critical process. For that reason, ensure that picking processes drive the designs (not the storage processes). Spend time and resources in areas where you use the most personnel as well as in areas that control your ability to service customers effectively.

ConclusionIf you want to ensure you end up with a facility that is well designed and supports your business needs, you need to carefully consider the processes. To do this you must design from the basis of a thorough understanding of the optimum operational needs. You consequently need to create a design team that has a primary focus on the processes. This is best managed by the logistician and his team.

Lights, Camera, Architecture!Two women converse in a glass box that glows with light and hovers above the Los Angeles’ skyline. This is just one scene depicted in Julius Shulman’s film, ‘Visual Acoustics,’ which traces his path though photography and architecture while also reviewing the man’s love affair with Modernism.

This is just one of many films that will be screened at the Architect Africa Film Festival 2010, where architecture from around the world is brought to life in the cinema. The film ‘My Playground’ is one such film that takes us to Denmark, Japan, China and the USA, leaping over buildings and stairways as we follow free-runners through their favourite city spaces.

The Film Festival is also about engaging discus-sion and debate. And to that end, some of the films to be screened will feature topical and pertinent issues within the built environment professions and media. A number of films will look at climate change, sustainability and the marginalised within society.

Local content is a crucial part of the Film Festival, and two films that explore the issues around urban regeneration will be screened, specifically focussing on the lead-up to the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa.

‘When the Mountain meets its Shadow’ is a German production that follows the stories of three workers who live in an informal settlement earmarked for demolition in Cape Town. ‘The Battle for Johannesburg’ looks at the informal settlements within the abandoned or hijacked buildings in Johannesburg’s inner city.

As part of the Architects’ Collective’s edu-cational initiatives, an exhibition of student photographs will be displayed in the cinema foyers, and several evenings will be dedicated to screening student film productions from the Moving Spaces Competition.

Architect Africa Film Festival 2010 will be showing in Cape Town at the Nu Metro V&A Waterfront from 10-16 September. In Port Elizabeth at the Nu Metro Boardwalk from 10-12 September, in Durban at the Nu Metro Pavillion from 17-23 September. Architect Africa will also show in Bloemfontein at the Nu Metro Loch Logan on 17-19 September and finally in Johannesburg at the Nu Metro Hyde Park from 24-30 September.

Dust Off the Plans?According to those in the know, building your own nuclear bunker is easy. This is encourag-ing news since doomsday prophets are adamant that the human race won’t see 2013

Opinions are divided on the type of catas-trophe we can expect, and considering that sources vary from Mayan prophets to cyberspace ‘webbots’, this is hardly

surprising. Some predict that the earth will collide with a black hole, while others anticipate a polar shift caused by a massive solar flare. Consequences range from earthquakes and tidal waves to horrific weather changes and, perhaps most disturbingly, global disruption of cellphone signal.

With this in mind, the “Architect & Specificator” team decided that it might be useful to find out how to build a bunker and what materials we’d need to specify. Oddly enough, many of the items that offer protection from a global catastrophe appear to be readily available at local hardware shops and in our back gardens.

The biggest hurdle to overcome is the fact the ideal bunker should be built underground. Experts believe that this will provide protection from both man-made and natural disasters. However, not much is said about how occupants would survive a flood, so it’s probably a good idea to hedge your bets and head for the high ground.

Secret squirrelsAnother problem is the issue of hiding earthmoving activities from curious neighbours. Aside from the actual calamity scheduled for December 2012, the second biggest threat will be from those who didn’t

have the foresight to build a bunker. With food and shelter in scant supply, it’s likely there’ll be a mad rush to avail themselves of your stash.

For this reason, experts advise that bunkers be constructed some distance from primary homes, and that they be built in secrecy. Others advise building beneath your own home, which would present its own set of construction challenges if you want to avoid having your home collapse into the excavations.

Get specifyingRecommended materials seem rudimentary. Bricks and concrete (about 2 tonnes should do it) for walls, floor and roof can be given additional waterproof-ing by using plastic sheeting or polyethylene. Or you could play it super-safe and use both. Added protection from radiation in the form of sandbags is advised, although this would require extra sup-port props. It would be painfully ironic to survive a run-in with black hole, only to be crushed by a collapsing bunker.

‘Experts’ advise that the roof be constructed from sturdy beams, insulated with straw and covered with at least four feet of packed dirt as a radiation shield. Others advise six, or even ten feet, which could have quite an impact on the construction schedule, particularly since, in all probability, you’ll be digging with a spoon, much quiter you know! The floor, too, should be insulated with straw beneath a layer of plywood. Again, waterproofing is vital, and in addition to that handy plastic sheeting, wall, floor and roof

HIDING OUT

Building materials are fairly basic, and secrecy is paramount

joints should be sealed with silicone.

Alternatively, buy an old fuel tank drop it in a hole, cover it with sand and include a stair and a door, bolted from the inside. Don’t forget to accessorise.

A breath of fresh airVentilation will be a primary concern, as the best bunker in the world will be useless without air. Discretely positioned air vents, fitted with micron dust extractors should provide a ready supply of safe oxygen, while preventing raid-ers from pumping toxic fumes into your hidey hole. No doubt Tom Cruise has incorporated such a system into his reportedly $10 million hide-out facility.

On the subject of toxic fumes, plumbing is another area of concern. One source suggests the use of a large pit covered with a lid and fly screen, in the event that flies are high on your list of troubles. Where the offending matter will depart to from here is not explained, although a composting system might have the added advantage of providing a means of starting a small vegetable garden at some stage.

Packing the pantryAnother priority is the storage of food. For obvious reasons, this needs to have the longest possible shelf-life and must be stored in bulk. Since space is at a premium, it might be a good idea to fashion furnishings from tins or sturdy packaging. A bed created using tins of pilchards as a base with a mattress on top will not only provide a good night’s sleep, but also give a long-lasting supply of protein and Omega-3 fatty acids vital for maintaining strength when fighting off mutant hordes.

Although the prospect of a lifetime of rehydrated meals may make survival less than appealing, the internet hosts numerous sites dedicated to offering fun recipes for post-Apocalyptic life. Apparently, it is entirely possible to produce Mac n Cheese, apple crumble, or a delicious bolognaise using nothing but a naked flame and a ration pack.

Tooling upOnce you’ve made it through the disaster alive, you may need some sort of implement for hunting or

protection outside of the bunker. Pass time below ground by making a variety of ‘killing devices’ such as rabbit sticks, spears, bows and arrows, or slings. Or pack a gun.

It’s also a good idea to draw up a list of people you could bear to live with for 20 years. When considering candidates try to include individuals with useful skills for a global rebuild at some point. Bear in mind that you may need to repopulate the planet with these individuals.

Beyond 2012While it may seem extreme to go to these lengths to survive an event that might not happen, there’s no harm in playing it safe. If 2013 dawns without catastrophe, unused bunkers make great storage facilities, or even paintball venues, if planned cor-rectly. Fortunately it’s predicted that Africa will be the least affected area on the globe, so the odds are in our favour either way.

The following sites offer useful tips on surviving on planet Earth after the annihilation of our current social system. You’ll also be able to enrol for a cheap Masters degree or meet the partner of your dreams for an online chat:

2�Architect & Specificator Jul/Aug 2010

During a conversation with “Architect & Specifica-tor” he introduces us to a building method that

addresses a string of society’s ills. While prefabricated housing is not a new concept, the company has honed a system to make construc-tion virtually foolproof.

“Our structures are designed and manufactured on our premises to the highest standards,” Pino tells us. “Every item is tested here prior to being shipped to site. In this way we can be certain that the builders will be able to duplicate

the process later on.”

Butterfly buildingsHoused in one of its own buildings bearing the company’s signature ‘butterfly’ roof, the Sassi team is not afraid to practice what it preaches.

Out of the BoxTackling social issues through the medium of construction is not an easy task, but Pino Plumari at Sassi is

a man who likes a challenge.

The offices are airy and open-plan, making op-timum use of natural light to minimise energy consumption. Sunlight brightens the building by day while just three lights illuminate the entire building at night.

“The building system comprises a steel structure bolted together and clad with insulated material. By incorporating glass walls into the design, we can make best use of natural lighting,” Pino continues. While glass facades have long been incorporated into buildings such as showrooms, the practice is becoming increasingly prevalent in other applica-tions such as restaurants and office blocks.

“Our buildings can be easily adapted for a variety of purposes,” he adds. “For instance, a structure which may have accommodated an office can quickly be altered to house a restaurant.”

The inclusion of large expanses of glass requires some creative thinking in terms of incorporating shelving and storage space however Pino assures us that this can be accomplished with careful planning.

Easy constructionPlanning at all levels is part of the success of the system and it’s how Sassi’s buildings can be constructed by relatively unskilled labour using rudimentary equipment. “We’ve had warehouses erected in remote areas using basic equipment,” Pino says, telling us of a multi-volume structure that was built without the assistance of cranes.

“Everything is labelled and easily identifiable,” he goes on. “We also provide a comprehensive manual explaining every step of the process. The file also includes all the relevant supporting documentation, such as engineering certification.” By simplifying the process, construction times can be kept to a minimum, keeping associated costs down.

Once Pino’s team is satisfied that the structure is ready for erection, the entire building can be packed into 20 foot containers for shipment. Careful atten-tion is paid to the packaging of glass components to ensure safe transport, however additional pieces are included to allow for breakages.

Flexibility“We pack every single item necessary for the build-ing,” he adds. This includes not only the structure of the building, but also the interior finishes, which can be tailored to the client’s specifications. Exterior finishes can also vary and Pino shows examples of buildings clad in natural stone, allowing the steel structure to blend beautifully into rustic surroundings.

“The buildings are very flexible,” he says. “We can provide a basic building which can then be added to at a later date, simply by bolting on additional sections. Configurations vary depending on spe-cific requirements.” He shows us an example of a structure that is being designed to include a garage either below or alongside the primary structure.

Right values“We pay a lot of attention to the integrity of the building envelope,” he says. “R-values can be cal-culated according to the location of the building and the materials used. Ideally, we’d use double-glazing in our designs but the cost is prohibitive. We can achieve acceptable results using laminated glass, but obviously this isn’t the best scenario.”

The simplicity of the system has drawn attention from builders looking for a solution to the pitfalls of construction in Africa. It has also proven attractive to developers. “We’ve done work for a number of residential developments,” Pino explains. “They’ve

been drawn by the ability to quickly construct units to the highest possible spec.”

Even with semi-skilled workers, it is possible to build homes with straight walls, level floors, and doors and windows that fit the prescribed aper-tures. Selling off-plan can be as simple as letting the buyer choose a design, having the components shipped to site in a container and erecting the house in a few weeks.

“Our product makes it possible to construct buildings quickly, accurately and cost-effectively,” concludes Pino. “These structures can last far longer than

conventional buildings and are energy efficient and aesthetically pleasing. In the past three years we have turned our attention and expertise in develop-ing an affordable structure providing a space and cost effective home at all levels.” Sounds like the perfect package.

SOFTWARE

“Databuild tracks projects in the building industry and uses the information either for statistical purposes or as a means of providing leads to relevant members of the

industry,” Graham West, Project Manager in charge of development at Databuild, tells “Architect & Specificator”.

Providing opportunities“Essentially, we provide construc-tion professionals with informa-tion on marketing opportunities,” adds Desiree Erridge, National Sales Manager at the company. “By being aware of current proj-ects, they can determine who may need what; it’s a foot in the door for suppliers. Architects call us the necessary evil because it’s a useful way of ensuring that they get the best possible products at the most competitive prices,” she laughs.

Databuild’s latest addition comes in the form of a web-based Customer Relationship Manage-ment (CRM) product that puts construction professionals firmly in control of their marketing pro-cess. “We’ve become increasingly aware that there’s a gap in the market for a product that helps builders manage sales,” Graham continues.

Five stars“Our CRM option offers five key benefits to the user. Firstly, there’s data consolidation,” he tells us. “Sales teams are often diverse in their working styles and the process can become fragmented. Our system takes information from various sources, such as Outlook or even notes, and combines this into a usable format in one system.

“This leads to improved performance from the sales team, which is the second advantage. Staff

no longer lose leads in their own ‘black holes’,” Graham grins as Desiree adds: “Sales people are notorious for making notes on scraps of paper, which literally fall through the cracks. We help them get organised.”

The third advantage comes in the form of improved control from a managerial perspective. “Manage-ment can see where deals are being closed, or not, as the case may be. This allows them to assist staff members who are having problems, since they have the ability to spot problem areas and address them,” he explains.

Forward planningIncreased flow of information brings the fourth benefit, namely the opportunity to plan and fore-cast. “Management will be in a better position to determine what sales they can expect, of which products, to whom and when,” Graham goes on. This allows planning of production, which is an area that is sorely neglected in the construction industry.

“The ability to forward plan cashflow and ad-dress upcoming problems is one of the biggest advantages of using a product of this nature,” says Graham. “When we talk to sales managers about forecasting their response is generally one of distress because management wants answers. While it’s not an exact science this tool gives a better idea of what to expect.”

Desiree agrees, saying, “The general opinion is that the sales team does their own thing and then springs it on the rest of the company. In some cases, this can be disastrous, especially if the product they’re selling isn’t available. I have a client who once had to buy in product from his competition to meet the demand. He’s never forgotten the lesson.”

Intelligent planningUltimately, the entire system is geared towards optimising information, which Graham tells us is the fifth advantage to users. “It’s about intelligence,” he says. “Companies can use this as a performance monitor to determine closing rates.”

“They can ask questions about how they sell, what activities work and what don’t,” Desiree interjects. “They can look at what may be causing them to drop sales. If a company is losing business due to price or poor track record, management is able

In the PipelineMembers of the construction industry will probably recog-nise Databuild as an IT tool for staying in the loop in terms of current projects. Recently, however, developers at the

company have turned their attention to other ways of mak-ing optimum use of the information they’ve amassed.

to address these problems. If contracts are regu-larly lost to a competitor, they have the ability to analyse what that company is doing to see how they’re getting it right.”

Graham adds that the system also gives companies a chance to implement post-project marketing activities. “Once a project is completed, there’s the opportunity to publicise the results, bringing attention to the success of their input.” There is the additional advantage of being easily configured to suit a company’s specific needs, as well as being able to integrate into existing processes.

Built for buildersThe underlying strength of the product, however, is that it is tailored for the construction field. While construction projects typically amount to millions of Rands’ worth of materials, labour and expertise, the planning aspect of the industry seems to be fairly neglected. “Marketing in this industry seems to be a ‘hit and miss affair’,” says Desiree. “Many companies have no idea why they’re not winning contracts. Often their production forecasting is based on a rough estimate of previous years’ consumption.

“Construction has stumbled along for years, acci-dentally doing well using thumb-sucking forecasting methods,” she says in her characteristic hard-hit-ting style. “The industry is typified by peaks and valleys and it’s the reason so many businesses flounder during the hard times. When the phone stops ringing and you don’t know why, what next? Planning is as important for big companies as it is for smaller ones. What do you do with a warehouse full of the wrong stock?”

Encouraging acceptanceNot everyone has accepted CRM with open arms, though. “CRM has a bit of a bad name so we’ve really done our homework in terms of ensuring optimum buy-in,” Graham says. “We’ve looked at why other products have failed and how to over-come these issues. We have a better understanding of user-adoption and how to avoid the ‘garbage in garbage out’ scenario that dooms a product to failure from the outset.

“Our aim is to bring structure to an unstructured arena, allowing analysis in an area that typically doesn’t make good use of information. We an-ticipate this being of benefit to the industry as a whole,” he closes.

Encouraging Innovation and Dynamic Debate Architect Terence Shacklady, a partner at Empowered Spaces, was one of the influential contributors in the creation of the brief for the Saint-Gobain DesignHub Respond/Renew/Revitalise Competition. During a visit to South America, Terence became aware of the fact that international students seemed to engage more in such

‘pioneering debates,’ compared to local students.

YOUNG DESIGNERS

I t’s not their increased access to information or technology that creates this, because we have all of that here,” he claims. He asserts that, “the way in which they think overseas

is vastly different, we seem to possess a ‘small-town mentality’ over here.”

Terence does agree that students’ are beginning to emerge from their shells and are starting to come up with some really great ideas.

The main question Terence wanted to ask students was how they could see an architectural intervention

on a landmark building in South Africa, respond to and or help solve some of these challenges.

Issues“Anyone can make something look pretty, it’s the concept that gives it merit,” states Terence. He claims that with so many issues at hand, globally and locally, there are plenty of issues to begin of-fering solutions for.

“Look at the issues we have locally, xenophobia, the health crisis and the lack of education, these are driving factors and should provide the motiva-tion for the proposals”.

While Terence encourages great architectural

concepts, he expresses that students should be able to technically justify their intervention. While the conceptual merit would form a substantial portion of the assessment, students would also be rewarded for their ability to technically resolve the scheme.

Polarised industryAccording to Terence, the architectural industry appears polarised to specific faculties, such as Commercial Architects, involved in the efficient practical resolution of buildings. Design Architects, focused primarily on a conceptual framework and lastly, the Academics, engaging in the tertiary education of students.

His perception is that these faculties appear ‘disengaged’ with one another, leading to lost opportunities. The objective of the competition is not only to engage students in these various faculties but to offer a forum for the industry to engage as a whole.

With the perception of most University projects’ as being too academic, the Saint-Gobain DesignHub competition aims to provide the practical experience that student’s need to grow accustomed to.

When asked why Terence believed the competition should be directed towards Fourth Year University students only, he explained that, “Fifth Year students already have an existing competition to partake in and such a competition would provide the Fourth Year students with the ideal preparation for their thesis”. He believes that this competition will take students through the process of moving from the concept to the actual practical application in their thesis.

Terence also wanted to encourage the professional

architects in South Africa to get involved and partake in mentorships – he believes that this is a great eye-opener, allowing them to get involved with and challenge the students’ ideas. What Ter-ence found when visiting South America was that, the Universities overseas are seen as ‘facilities for new concepts’, whereas in South Africa, they are viewed as a ‘nursery for emerging concepts.’

“There is an amazing opportunity to discover and test new ideas…. You don’t need to be a professional to come up with a dynamic concept, anyone can throw in a curveball and completely reshape an idea, adding value to a project – you have to be receptive to it... closing it off is naive”, claims Terence.

Terence’s advice for the students taking part in the competition is that, “it relies heavily on concept.” He mentions that students should consider local issues and offer a solution to it through architecture.

With so many ‘drivers’ to choose from in South Africa, Terence suggests that, if students possess a particular interest in an apparent issue that they believe is relevant, they should take the opportunity to discover how architecture can be, or be a part of, the solution.

“There are lots of challenges out there. The whole idea about viewing a challenge as an opportunity or an inspiration is what is important here,” states Terence. He goes on to say that, “any submission will be made stronger by possessing good drivers.”

INTERBUILD 2010

Let’s talk glass The South African glass industry will be in the spotlight at Glass Expo Africa 2010, to be held at the MTN Expo Centre, Nasrec from 8 to 11 September. The original idea to have a glass

expo in South Africa was born by Steve McCoy, the managing director of McCoy’s Glass, the

third largest glass company in South Africa and presented to its current organisers, Specialised

Exhibitions.

Glass Expo Africa forms part of the greater “The Star Interbuild Africa 2010” trade exhibition and this means that exhibitors at Glass Expo Africa have the opportunity to demonstrate their latest trends, products and services alongside Plumbdrain Africa, Sani’ter, Frigair Confer-ence and Expo, Hardex and Woodpro Africa exhibitors, and so be part of the largest and most comprehensive trade exhibition on the continent.

According to the executive officer of AAAMSA, Hans Schefferlie, the AAAMSA Group incorporating SAGGA supports Glass Expo Africa 2010, as this trade show offers the glass and aluminium industries an opportu-nity to showcase the latest products available to both local and international customers. “In addition, Glass Expo Africa 2010 is ideally timed to coincide with the publication of the National Building Regulation Part XA - Energy Usage in Buildings, and glass and fenestration manufacturers will introduce products that will satisfy the requirements in respect of overall energy usage in buildings as legislated in the National Building Regulation.”

To enhance the interaction between exhibitors and visitors at this year’s expo, the organisers, Specialised Exhibitions, will be running a business matchmaking programme, as well as an African visitor promotion campaign. It is believed that these initiatives will in-crease the return on investment for both buyers and sellers as the business matchmaking programme will give delegates the opportunity to engage with one another on an exclusive basis, enabling exhibitors to meet their target markets and assisting visitors to find exactly what they are looking for.

Parallel to the exhibition, the glass industry in conjunction with AAAMSA and SAGGA will be hosting a conference titled: Let’s Talk Glass in Sustainable Buildings, focus-ing on energy efficiency on 9 September 2010. The conference, which takes place at the expo, will boast acclaimed speakers from the international and local architectural arena, as well as international and local experts talking about green, glass, energy efficiency and legislation. Architects attending will earn CPD points. For more information about the conference, please e-mail Robyn Milligan at [email protected]

Some companies, like Nexus, the commer-cial division of Belgotex Floorcoverings, have responded to this issue by producing increasingly hardy products that are proving

themselves in the challenging applications typical of the commercial sector. Greg Barry, National Sales Manager for Nexus, tells “Architect & Specificator” about some new offerings that offer both style and versatility.

Commercial applications“We’ve designed Base Line, Time Zone and Time Square specifically for commercial office applica-tions,” he says. “We’ve had a great response to the range in terms of durability and colour options.”

Not only do these carpet tiles offer soundproofing qualities, but they are also completely stainproof,

Flying Carpets

In many instances, carpets are considered a luxury in

commercial applications. The high levels of

wear-and-tear make them impractical in terms of

maintenance and durability.

Ease of maintenance is a big selling point

UV- and bleach-resistant. Easy installation is further enhanced by the fact that repairs can be simply achieved by replacing worn or damaged tiles when necessary.

“Ease of maintenance is a big selling point,” Greg affirms. “Simple installation is another advantage. The tiles can be installed in a variety of patterns, including tessellated, brick-bond or random, which allows individual tiles to be replaced as necessary without the help of an expert installer.”

The tiles are available in a variety of designs and patterns to disguise soiling in heavy duty applica-tions. Made from the company’s high-performance Solution Dyed Nylon for X-Treme Conditions (SDX), which has already proven itself in the market for a decade, the lines look set to hold their ground against conventional materials.

“The dyeing process we use injects colour directly into the nylon polymer while it’s still molten, so the

colour becomes permanent,” he says. “This ensures consistency of colour throughout dye lots, which is an important consid-eration for installations covering large areas.”

High trafficDesigned specifically for high traffic areas subjected to heavy soiling and wear, the ranges are guaranteed to last fifteen years without fibre degradation. With testing grounds like OR Tambo International Airport, Coca-Cola Ellis Park stadium, the IDC in Sandton and Old Mutual, MTN and ABSA Head Offices, the ranges have certainly been put through their paces.

Although the Nexus’ wide range of colours and patterns cater for most requirements, their Custom-X department offers bespoke solutions for individual needs, such as when corporate identities call for

specific styles.

Nexus’ innovative Zig Zag range provides ad-ditional creative freedom in the form of formal, uniform patterns or striking geometric contrasts. These carpet tiles, made from Stainproof Miracle Fibre, create an optical illusion of a 3D pattern, adding an interesting dimension to conventional floor coverings.

Great growthDemand for these ranges was facilitated by a R60 million upgrade in November 2006. New Needle-punch equipment, twisting machines, heatset machinery and tile cutting equipment primed all divisions of the company for expansion.

“There’s a growing demand for high quality synthetic floor coverings,” Greg tells us. In addition to the local market, the company is seeing increasing international calls for its higher end products, and exports currently account for 12 to 15% of annual turnover.

GreenfieldsThere has also been a R5 million investment in tufting machinery for synthetic grasses. This points to another growing sector that has caught Belgotex Floorcoverings’ attention as carpets head for the great outdoors. The company’s Greenfield Sports Turf Systems division manufactures artificial grass for a range of sports surfaces, including hockey fields, soccer pitches, golf greens, tennis courts and DuraTurf for landscaped gardens.

“The upgrade has put us in a position to extrude our own turf, which has allowed us to extend our range considerably,” says Greg about Belgotex Floorcoverings’ DuraTurf range. “We see growth in this area every month. It’s ideal for townhouse developments, for example, which require a low-maintenance solution for landscaping,” he adds. “The product is guaranteed for outdoor use and has a lifespan of up to seven years. This is far better than ordinary lawn.”

While many may not think of Africa as a continent that needs to manufacture grass, Greg assures us that its applications are vast. “It’s particularly ef-fective in arid regions where water is scarce,” he explains. “It’s also useful for beautifying rooftops, balconies and display areas.” Although horticul-turalists might need more convincing, scores of homeowners are drawn by the fact that garden maintenance can be reduced to a simple sweep with a broom.

Green commitmentTaking the green concept beyond the pitch, Bel-

When “Architect & Specifica-tor” speaks to contracts manager, Craig Irvine, he has much to say about the

company’s current activities, which are manifold. Craig is particularly enthusiastic about the strategic partnership between Top Carpets and Tile Africa, which will see mini Tile Africa showrooms being incorporated into Top Carpet branches around the country.

Getting it CoveredThose who remember Tile Africa a decade ago will have noticed the change in image during the course of the past five years.

Utilitarian ‘warehouse’ type out-lets have made way for stylish showrooms designed to inspire creative use of tile products.

On top“Top Carpets has 70 branches countrywide, and is a preferred supplier to numerous insurance agen-cies, which makes it a very interesting partnership. Importantly, it will increase our national footprint overnight,” he tells us. Top Carpets will now be able to provide a more comprehensive range of surface coverings to clients, and both companies foresee a very happy future together.

This ties in with the group’s move towards upping the ante in terms of service standards and Craig is happy to explain the steps being taken to improve the overall Tile Africa experience. “Tile Africa is made up of three entities,” he explains. “Johnson Tiles, which is 60 years old this year, with its UK counterpart hitting 100 next year, is an established supplier within the industry.

“TAL Adhesives is probably the most recognised of the three, with a 30-year reputation for going to great lengths to find every possible product for any application. Product development is its forte and the company is known for staying ahead of the pack. Tile Africa is the baby sister in a family of three,” he smiles.

Tile Africa’s ‘Connexions’ publication not only provides ideas, but also advice on how to implement them

Tiles are not a fast-moving product; people renovate every eight to fifteen years

Fitting together“When Norcross took over the group a few years ago, the group was given a new corporate identity which tied into the concept of the Chinese tan-gram, which is a puzzle that can be manipulated to create a wide variety of different elements. We realised that this is much like the creative process of developing a design,” he explains.

“It’s like putting together the pieces of a puzzle. Whether the client is designing a home or an office, we build around their needs, providing ‘pieces’ in the form of inspiration, concepts and materials.” The group’s in-house publication, Connexions, coupled with the retail showrooms, provides the inspiration in the form of accessible design concepts complete with tips on how these can be applied.

“People seldom design a building with one theme from beginning to end,” says Craig. “Usually they’ll take various aspects and adapt them to suit their needs. Also, they’ll often have a few personal pieces that need to be incorporated into the design in a harmonious way. In Connexions, we give the guidelines and the client fills in the details.”

Contract workWhile the showrooms may appear to have a focus on the domestic market, Craig assures us that there’s a sound commercial leaning too. “There’s a strong synergy between the retail arm and the contract

side of the business,” he tells us. “We’re particularly proficient when a project is large enough to require a national footprint,” he tells us.

“Each showroom has a warehouse at-tached, so if, for ex-ample, we’re doing a supply and fit for Pick n Pay, the showroom closest to the branch we’re fitting will be able to handle that installation. It makes it easier in terms of product delivery.”

Showrooms are also equipped with board-rooms so that clients can arrange meetings with architects, de-signers and the Tile Africa team to work on projects that are more complex. This

is useful not only for larger domestic projects, but also for the more extensive contract work the company specialises in.

Positive experienceThe team also believes that creating a positive experience is fundamental to the long-term suc-cess of the company. “Tiles are not a fast-moving product; people renovate every eight to fifteen years,” Craig explains.

“Our aim is to make their experience so pleas-ant they’ll keep coming back. We realise that we can’t accomplish this by supplying the cheapest products. There’s no comparison between a cheap import and one of our locally produced tiles. They comply with and exceed international standards as well as local ones.

“When correctly applied using the right adhesives in the appropriate conditions, our tiles have a 20 year guarantee. This is an important consideration, particularly in commercial developments. A cracked tile in an upmarket mall means big money in terms of downtime and maintenance costs.”

The tile business is clearly more complex than it might seem and Craig agrees. “There’s a lot more to this business than simply supplying tiles. We like to think we address all the pieces of the puzzle,” he smiles.

Save money with raised floorsRaised flooring specialists, Bergvik, believes that more and more companies are realising the benefits of raised flooring, especially in places such as data centres, telecommunica-tions and electrical rooms.

The main benefit the floors offer is that of cost savings, and this is achieved by a decreased amount of energy used when cooling these rooms.

According to Peter Brandstrom, Bergvik CEO, “The old mindset was to build a floor the cheapest way possible. The new mindset is to build a floor that helps your customer reduce its costs, increase its revenue streams while improving its asset turnover.”

By using the airflow stratification that Bergvik’s Triad panel offers, together with its modular Iso Floor structure, the customer will obtain energy cost savings by being able to raise the CRAC set temperature by 3-5 degrees.

Other cost savings come from being able to put the CRAC units, fire suppressant cylinders and batteries directly on top of the floor (meaning no external boxes are required), grounding is required in only two places (instead of multi-point grounding) and no bridging is necessary as their pedestals are movable and not set.

Bergvik, located in Cape Town, can provide materials with very short lead times since they keep a large inventory in South Africa. They only make use of accredited installers (in-house and subcontractors) and provide a 5-year warranty.

Elegance to where it is fittedFloors Direct has a brand new laminate flooring offer, the Kronotex Route des vins or Wine Route range that has a classical, yet sophisticated look.

What makes this laminate unique is the print that replicates the wording on vintage wine bottles and barrels. Ideal for domestic and commercial use, the product is particularly suited for the kitchen, dining room, pub, wine cellar, small restaurant or boutique cafe. The vintage feel lends elegance to any area where it is fitted.

The range consists of a dark colour, Route des vins Fonce or Wine Route Dark and a lighter colour, Route des vins Clair or Wine Route Clear and has a grading of AC4 class 32. The grading means it is extremely durable and is highly resistance to surface abrasion, making it suitable for general traffic areas in a commercial environment.

“Laminate flooring is extremely durable and can handle most stains, spills and dirt, making it the ideal flooring option for entertainment areas,” says Jose Dos Passos, managing director at Floors Direct.

Blending in well The first phase of Midrand Estate’s retirement village, Retire@Midstream, was completed on 30 June 2010.


News & Views“More than 500 000 Country Meadow face bricks were chosen for the development of the retirement village as the bricks are low mainte-nance and thus, ideal for the retirement village. All existing walkways and inland roads at the retirement village are paved using Corobrik Ced-erberg pavers,” says Allin Dangers, Corobrik Director of Sales - inland.

Derick Britz of Studious Ar-chitects, responsible for the design of the retirement village says that all 105 units of the first phase were built using Corobrik’s face bricks.

“In total, we have used roughly 580 000 face bricks and 500 000 pavers for the residential area alone. This is made up of bachelor units as well as three-bedroom units. For the main building which includes both community facilities and medical facilities, 250 000 pavers and 300 000 face bricks were used.

The total area of the project that is currently using Corobrik is 30 000 m². There is a further extension anticipated, however this is only on conceptual design for the moment,” says Derick.

Lighting the wayIn 2007, Standard Bank took the decision to implement a phased revamp and update of its national branch outlets, which now total more than 700 nationally. Its key goals were to ensure every branch conformed to minimum service, process and appearance standards.

Lighting was a crucial part of the interior design solution and so Radiant proposed an exclusive selection of fittings that met the bank’s stringent requirements.

Says Valerie Poyurs, Director of Marketing at Radiant, “While multiple transaction channels exist (including ATMs, Internet and telephone banking), bricks and mortar branches remain crucial to promoting the brand, marketing products and building customer relationships. The design and décor elements of branch outlets thus need to be

carefully selected and balanced to cater to business and customer needs.

Explains Aidan Brennan, Senior Manager: Projects division at Radiant: “Standard Bank wanted a lighting solution that would fit with, and enhance the ambiance of its interior design and visual branding, but it also needed to ensure a practical and effective working environment for staff and customers. In terms of ambience and mood, the bank wanted lighting that would evoke a sense of privacy and confidentiality in certain areas, but provide sufficient light to engender a perception of security, openness and trust in the banking hall and other function-specific zones.”

The proposed solution also needed to fit within the identi-fied budget, make use of technology that would ensure low lifecycle costs and ease of maintenance, and be energy ef-ficient as per the requirements of the bank’s environmental sustainability policy.

“Radiant was able to meet all these requirements with its proposed solution,” says Aiden. “The lights are low volt-age, low glare, energy efficient recessed ceiling fittings with a metal rim that offers clean crisp lines. Importantly, refurbishment has taken place at Standard Bank’s vari-ous branches in South Africa over the last three years and Radiant has continued to meet the expectations of the financial service provider.”

News & ViewsFire doors to be exportedFire and security door manufacturer, Bitcon Industries, has secured three major new export orders.

Bob Vollmer, director of Bitcon, says the company is sup-plying large volumes of its Rubidor hinged fire doors and frames for contracts recently secured in Mauritius and Zambia.

Rubidor fire doors were, in the first instance, supplied for the upgrading of the Dr A.G. Jeetoo Hospital in Port Louis. Work started last year on the upgrading of the 550-bed facility to international standards and is expected to be finished before the end of this year. Bitcon’s lead-lined doors, which provide protection from X-ray equipment for hospital personnel, also formed part of this major order.

In a second order from Mauritius, Bitcon’s Rubidor fire doors and frames were supplied to General Construction of Mauritius, the main contractor for the building of Sun Resorts’ new five-star Long Beach resort on the east coast of the island. The resort, scheduled to open at the end of 2010, features an urban style piazza with restaurants, shops and bars.

Bitcon is also supplying Rubidor fire doors and frames for a Lusaka expansion project of Standard Chartered Bank.

In addition to these three new contracts, Bitcon is also involved in fire door exports to Mozambique and Swaziland as well as Botswana, the latter through various contracts secured by Mercurio Trade, another member of the Vitrex Group.

Every kilowatt counts Pretoria’s Centurion Mall, owned by Fountainhead Property Trust and Attfund and managed by Broll Property Manage-ment, has been named the first runner-up at the Energy Cybernetics - Energy Barometer Awards, in the shopping centre category.

This award validates the effectiveness of energy-efficiency initiatives in the retail sector such as the one established and put into effect at Centurion Mall.

Identifying and recognising buildings that have low energy consumption in relation to the size of the building, the award results were determined through an analysis and audit of the various entrants’ utility bills over a one-year period, as well as results of a specifically designed survey.

Prior to the mall’s participation in the award process, Centurion Mall undertook a “green” initiative, which saw management and owners re-evaluate and redefine the mall’s carbon footprint.

“The process involved analysing all operational levels and areas within the mall,” says Chris le Roux, Operations Manager at Centurion Mall. “The majority of lights were replaced with energy saving lights and a Building Monitor-ing System was installed for all the air conditioning units. Timers were also installed in various areas to manage the hours that the lights are working and all the geysers in the bathrooms were turned off. Power factor correction was also installed.”

This means that building owners, factories, and businesses will be affected, and good advice should be taken as to the size of the extuinguisher needed to kill the blaze.

Fire equipment supplier, SafeQuip, a subsid-iary of Rorvic, can be contacted for advice on what size extinguisher is needed and also supplies fire hose reels, fire cabinets and safety notices from its three national branches.

News & ViewsNew power generation company for Western CapeWith interruptions in the supply of electricity a constant threat to the business and domestic scene, the launch of a new power generating company can only be welcomed in the Western Cape.

Engine Applications Western Cape, a new branch of the 30-year-old Gauteng-based supplier of standby power to industrial, commercial, residential as well as fleet opera-tions, is headed by Gordons Bay resident, Gerald Spaans, who has been involved in the power generation industry for decades as MD of Spa Industrial in Benoni.

“Businesses need and depend on electrical power every day, which makes back-up systems a necessity, not a luxury,” says Gerald. “Consider what losses in production could mean to a manufacturer in these difficult economic times, or what hospitals would do without life support systems, or the chaos in department stores, hotels, and casinos during power grid interruptions.”

Engine Applications has an extensive product range that covers mobile and fixed diesel generators, static or rotary uninterruptible power supplies, switchboard and metering systems for generator sets, standby battery banks, diesel driven pump sets, and remote monitoring systems and building management systems.

News & ViewsEasy living in downtown JoziIconic old corporate head quarters in downtown Johan-nesburg are being transformed into trendy new apartments designed for easy living and are breathing new life into the old central business district.

The old Stuttaford’s head office on the corner of Rissik and Pritchard Streets in the Jozi CBD is currently being transformed into 133 apartments aimed at professionals wanting sophisticated yet affordable city lifestyles.

The R65 million development, which will also feature a first of kind concept McDonalds’ eatery on its ground floor and other retail tenants, is the latest offering from development partners International Housing Solutions (IHS).

The completed units - available for occupation early next year - will be rented out from R2 500 for a small studio up to R4 500 for a large 2 bed-roomed apartment. Larger studios and 1 bed-roomed apartments will also be available for R3 200 and R3 500 respectively.

The project follows hot on the heels of the development of 400 new rental apartments in the old Greatermans build-ing, also with equity funding from IHS.

Development partners are the Plit brothers, Wayne and Renney, managing directors and founders of AFHCO Holdings.

Concrete and musicWhen Durban’s new KZN Music House was being built, it needed materials that insulated well, were able to be speedily installed, looked elegant and were economic. These criteria were the reasons for the selection of Echo Prestress flooring panels.

The recording studio is essentially a simple brick-built cell

Overall performance of the studio was 15% better than specified


News & Viewssupporting a roof of 150mm. 250mm deep concrete panels were used which create the necessary “dead” sound, while a “floating” fibreglass-filled sandwich of ceiling and interior walls provided additional sound insulation.

Using the hollow-core panels for the studio areas avoided propping and shut-tering of wet concrete, highlighting the economy and labour-saving features of the system, as a result, the project was completed six weeks ahead of programme.

Eric Quevauvilliers of the main contractor, Pratique, says hollow-core floor con-crete slabs are known to provide a high level of acoustical insulation to airborne sound transmission. “In this way they are similar to solid concrete slabs in the transmission of impact noise and airborne sound which, when it reaches the floor, vibrates it, and is then radiated through the floor material.”

Airborne sound transmission loss is most greatly affected by the weight of the material. For this reason, a hollow-core, precast concrete floor system did not require any additional treatment to achieve good sound insulation.

Acoustics engineer Steve Moss reported that overall performance of the studio was 15% better than specified.

Automated building softwareThe WSP Group’s latest IT development is a digital building software tool that accurately depicts building data to improve building management and response operations.

The Archaio software was developed, in an emerging software market known as Comprehensive Interior Reconnaissance. It is designed to deliver true scale building data accessed and visualised in 2-D and 3-D building models.

The software works by automating existing building data, such as blueprints and CAD drawings into digital formats, integrating components such as structural, electrical, water, fire alarm and motion detection systems.

This provides instant access to 3D building visualisations, blueprints and build-ing documents that are accurate owing to the software’s scaling device.

The resulting system enables first responders, such as police, fire, special operations and other emergency responders, to plan efficiently and respond more effectively. It also enables building managers and owners to dynamically manage all aspects of a structure to save time and money.

Thatchers lift the roofThe annual Thatching Association of South Africa (TASA) congress, held this year at Pringle Bay in the Cape, was attended by delegates from the four corners of the country, the occasion saw the award of Arch Wood Protection’s ‘Tanalised’ floating trophies in the this year’s model building competition which has become a regular, much loved feature of the gathering.


News & ViewsThis year the accolades went to David Hoffman of Hoffman’s Thatching Specialists in the ‘Best Pole Structure’ category and to John Smith of Biggarsburg Thatchers for the ‘Most Aesthetic Structure’.

Moreover, having co-sponsored the occasion for the last four years and on the firm premise that the thatchers sector is an important segment of the timber industry as a whole, Arch this year opted to be the congress’ sole sponsor.

Says Arch Marketing Manager Gerard Busse, “TASA leads the way in improving standards in the thatching industry. The TASA congress is a great way to celebrate the role of thatchers in the timber industry at large, so we saw the event as an excellent opportunity to further align ourselves with this important sector.”

Substantial renovationWhen Saldanha Steel undertook a substantial renovation project, Sika was contracted to supply the construc-tion products for the repairs and refurbishment of the internal floor and wall areas.

The combined value of the project amounted to ap-proximately R6 million and BKS/ Mittal, the on-site engineers, called on Sika to provide products and training for the contractors, Potgieter Boudienste, Phutuma Projects and Lattie Potgieter.

Saldanha Steel, part of Mittal Steel South Africa, is largely export-focused and distinguished from other industrial plants by its ‘green’ attitude. Globally, the plant is the only steel mill to have successfully joined the Midrex/Corex process into an uninterrupted chain.

The floors, which had an existing screed, and other substrates had to be cleaned, sanded and water jetted and then resurfaced in a very short amount of time


News & Viewsdue to the limited shut down period allocated by the plant. The repairs, relining and renovations completed during the course of this project in-cluded three surface areas on which Sika products were applied.

The internal floor and wall areas of the Midrex/Corex clarifiers were first prepped for resurfacing by vigorous cleaning of the existing substrates. Allowing for a shorter application time, 5 500 square-metres of Sikagard-63N was used following the application of Sikagard-720 EpoCem ZA.
