New environmental building regulations coming into effect from 1st October 2010 mean the cost of investing in double glazing is set to rise by around 15% from October. Homeowners only have four weeks to place an order before prices rise.

Part L of the of the Building Regulations, which comes into effect after 30th September, requires all new double glazing to meet higher heat installation standards. Although these new environmentally friendly windows will improve the heat efficiency of your home they will also cost more to manufacture, which of course means they will be more expensive for the consumer.

“Many of our customers are keen to do their bit for the environment but with the economy in its current state it’s difficult to justify extra spending. So the prospect of tax paying homeowners shelling out more money to satisfy the new building regulations to help the Government meet its carbon emission reduction targets is not exactly popular.” Mark Austin, Hazlemere Window Company Ltd.

This fantastic and rare opportunity to order less expensive double glazing will run out at the end of September. So right now is the best time to act for home owners looking to add value to their property.

WDH, who became the largest single housing stock transfer organisation in 2005, has responsibility for over 31,000 homes lived in by over 100,000 people and are the fifth largest housing organisation in England. With a wide range of housing types from sheltered housing to high rise communities and a £720 million improvement scheme running until 2012, the survey function is a key element of the WDH success story.

The systems used by survey teams, in the field, are therefore central to the delivery of the high standards WDH demands. As an existing PDA solution used by the department was unable to integrate with WDH’s Housing Management system, it was decided to identify a new mobile solution which had proven integration links to the back-office and which was flexible enough to allow electronic forms to be created internally. This would not only improve the systems used in surveying operation but would also enable WDH to take the first step towards identifying a scalable, enterprise-wide solution that ultimately could be rolled out across multiple disciplines including: responsive repairs, maintenance and inspections. After an extensive review of the market and a rigorous evaluation process WDH chose 1st Touch.

1st Touch applications can bring significant efficiencies and productivity increases to any application where field based operatives provide services. 1st Touch has already won widespread acclaim in the social housing market where the software manages, supports and control all aspects of mobile operatives’ activities. The resilient but flexible system enables easy, programming-free, user-customisable PDA based solutions to be created through its easy to use graphical interface and is specifically designed to simplify handheld form design and data capture. Any type of electronic form can be generated without the need for Business Process Mapping. 1st Touch has also developed high quality integration with most of the leading housing management systems used by local authority housing organisations and ALMOs.

Louise Muirhead, Senior Business Analyst at WDH felt that these features were a major factor in the decision to choose 1st Touch, noting, “We needed to identify a new mobile solution for the surveying function first of all, as the existing PDA system we had used for this function was not able to integrate with our back-office system. In addition, we still had some forms and spreadsheets that were paper based and we needed all this information to be integrated, accessible and viewable in one single location. We chose 1st Touch to meet these requirements.

“Having seen the system in use at a reference site visit we were impressed by the easy to use mobile application builder with a graphical interface that allows the design, creation and modification of forms; without having to return to the supplier and pay more. There was also a proven integration with our existing Housing Management system.

"However, the most influential factor was when we ran 1st Touch on our real-time test environment. 1st Touch performed well and proved the integration throughout exhaustive testing. We were also impressed by the 1st Touch approach as their staff appeared highly motivated to work closely in partnership with us at our offices. With such a clear proof of concept in hand, coupled with a very effective working relationship, we decided to start implementing the system with our survey department. Ultimately though, we can see how 1st Touch can be easily rolled out across WDH to areas such as responsive repairs, maintenance and inspections. In all, we envisage that over 200 operatives might ultimately use it. This would help us achieve significant productivity gains and to improve efficiency right across the organisation.”

Colin Hare, Business Systems Manager at WDH, emphasised the WDH commitment to continuous improvement and customer service, adding, “Our record level of tenant satisfaction illustrates WDH’s commitment to providing high-quality services to tenants, to ensure everything we do is done professionally and that we go that extra mile to meet the needs of tenants.

In addition, WDH aims to exceed the standards of the ‘Decent Homes Initiative’ and, with other government directives to fulfil such as ‘Warmer Greener Homes”, we are always considering ways of improving all aspects of our operations. A key element of this is the use of technology and we are aware of the considerable benefits and efficiency savings that mobile technology can bring to both our surveying function and to WDH as a whole. We look forward to working closely with 1st Touch as we examine these benefits across disciplines.”

Robert Dent, CEO of 1st Touch welcomed these comments adding, “As one of the largest housing organisations in England, getting things right for tenants is all important. WDH has an excellent and proven track record in achieving this. However, in the current economic climate, maintaining high standards is going to be a challenge. By evaluating the considerable productivity benefits and efficiency savings that mobile technology can bring across the enterprise, WDH is demonstrating their commitment to investing in the future. It is the tenants of course who are rightly the ultimate beneficiary. “

Such innovative new services include My Mascus, which allows private users registered on Mascus to, bookmark favourite machines and equipment, place “Want Ads” or get email alerts when items become available; Ad Index, that improved Mascus SEO; compare tool, that allowed adverts to be compared by different factors; Brand Pages, that helps buyers find the right used piece of equipment or transportation vehicle, searching by brand type and more..

Products available will include tractors, trailers, forklifts, excavators, diggers and trucks for sale.

“The fact that customers around the world can search and respond to ads in their own language has been a major element in our international growth,” says Tomasz Odrobinski, Mascus Internationalization Director. “Dealers have been quick to recognise the international opportunities, allowing them to reach new markets in their own language.”

“We’ve managed to sustain stable growth in all our territories, despite the recession,” adds Mascus Managing Director, Fredrik Larsson. “Our belief is that by continually focusing on what end users and customers want, we’ll continue to grow and deliver great value to both advertisers and buyers around the world looking for used equipment.”

Parking spaces are definitely a sought after commodity so once you have it you protect it.

The south of England has seen the greatest increase, with Essex in particular buy posts with gusto. Parking posts start at £61.09 inc vat FREE DELIVERY to England & Wales

Janine Carhart Managing Director of BarriersDirect said. August is usually a quiet month, but this year sales of Posts have increase massively… the negative publicity given to wheel clampers has sent everyone out to protect their own spaces. We have had to order in larger supplies to meet demand in September.

No one likes to see someone else in his or her parking space, but a simple lockable post is a great deterrent. Strategically placed in a driveway or private parking spot, the Parking Post stops drivers leaving their cars wherever they choose.

Mather and Stuart provide power hire services to any branch of construction, industry or commerce where mains supplies are not available as well as areas like education, leisure and retail. “New mains are often not installed in time or there are cases of cables being severed or stolen, and that is when we step in, explained director Mark Stuart. “With a hire fleet of over 800 generator sets, we believe that this is a big win for the environment and one that distinguishes us from other hire companies.”

Crown Oil UK carbon offset diesel is a standard commercial product for which they have bought high quality carbon offsets. The offsets support energy conservation projects throughout the world. These may involve the planting of trees to create carbon sinks or other programmes to actively reduce carbon emissions. This means that the carbon released by the burning of the diesel is effectively cancelled out. “Offset diesel is available for use in any on-site plant. This may include pumps, site vehicles, excavators, cranes, piling rings and any other site based plant which qualifies for red diesel,” explained Mark Andrews, group general manager at Crown Oil UK.

Bio-diesel was considered as an alternative to the use of carbon offset diesel but was rejected for technical and ethical reasons. “Generators are often a distress hire and the last thing the customer needs is further technical glitches. Obtaining fuel from what is essentially a food resource also has ethical implications that make us uncomfortable, we are confident that the product and service that we receive from Crown Oil UK will ensure that we can maintain high performance standards that our customers expect,” Mark Stuart explained.

Indeed, Kevin Daly from Goldman Sachs states “With unemployment stable for the past year, growth strong and tax revenues healthy we can build an argument that the MPC should be raising rates already”. He goes on to say that once a rise happens, “Rates could then rise rapidly to 2.5% by the end of next year”.

Ray Barrell of the National Institute of Economic & Social Research goes on to add, “If higher inflation from sterling’s fall persists, the Bank [of England] is going to have to raise [interest] rates”.

As a result, now is the best time in decades for companies to purchase their own offices. With interest rates at an all time low but forecasted to rise in the near future combined with other major factors working to a buyer’s advantage such as suppressed property prices, government pressure on banks to increase lending and favourable pension scheme structures.

The objective of the joint venture is to integrate and capitalize on identified and new opportunities while utilizing a world wide network of technology & manufacturing skills.

Building Supplies Online was launched by Graham Baldwin who noticed a gap in the market for building and DIY products delivered to your door. In times of economic uncertainty and a downturn in the housing market Building Supplies Online expect to see month on month growth of around 20%.

Graham says "Whilst the high street DIY stores are sufficient for small transportable items this is not the case for larger items where they often charge in excess of £30 to deliver. We offer a standard delivery of 1-2 working days for £5.99 no matter where you are in the UK". Building Supplies Online sell a wide range of products including decking, plasterboard, aggreagte, paint and timber at prices below many of its competitors.

Whilst targeting the consumer Building Supplies Online has also attracted a number of trade customers who are unhappy with traditional builders merchants. Graham commented "Builders merchants have not moved with the times in terms of technology and customer service. Trade customers want to order products quickly and get them delivered on time without having to place numerous phone calls. Builders merchants simply do not offer this'.

With continued growth expected the company plans on adding over 50,000 products in both the building materials, home, garden and DIY arena.

Intranet Connections (www.intranetconnections.com) is pleased to announce the intranet launch for BC Place, the venue for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games. BC Place launched their Intranet Connections Intranet 2.0 CMS Software in July with goals of improving corporate communication, increasing employee involvement, and enhancing information sharing within the organization.

After the 2010 Winter Games, BC Place was scheduled major construction to revitalize and modernize the facilities, including the largest retractable roof of its kind in the world. When the Administration team at BC Place learned that half of all full-time staff would be moving to temporary offices at the Vancouver Convention Centre and the other half would remain at BC Place, they immediately became aware that a corporate communication tool was needed to unify the two locations. The IT team spearheaded the project, identifying an intranet site as the best means to facilitate internal communication and provide a central repository for staff information.

In evaluating intranet solutions, BC Place knew they wanted to find a turnkey product that did not require any programming or custom development in order to get their site up and running.

“We ultimately selected Intranet Connections as an intranet solution because it was out-of the box and it required minimal administration overhead. Intranet Connections also came highly recommended, was proven in the market place and was developed by a Canadian company. We really liked the fact that Intranet Connections was a local organization.” says Winnie Mok, Information Services Manager at BC Place.

Since this was BC Place’s first intranet implementation, Intranet Connections’ suite of ready-to-use applications allowed the intranet development committee to focus efforts on the key success factors for a well received rollout. Priorities for the launch included: educating users about the role of an intranet, developing dynamic and relevant content and establishing site usage guidelines.

The new intranet has become a central part of BC Place’s multi-location communications and information management strategy. Construction news, press updates, updated policies and information about their upcoming road show are all posted on the intranet to keep employees at different facilities up to date and in the know.

About BC Place

Dataq Technologies Managing Director Dominic Blundell describes this new service as 'bringing the benefits of aerial surveys to a wider audience and with greater accuracy, detail and relevance than has previously been available'.

In addition to low cost, the small electrically powered UAVs can fly closer to buildings than full size aircraft and the client can watch the results on a live video downlink allowing them to direct the images taken.

Uses of the service include:

- Close up examination of the condition of structures

- Promotional photographs of property developments

- Archaeological land surveys

- Recording the sites of accidents such as serious fires or explosions

- Accessing difficult to reach structures

The drones used weigh less than one kilo and are electrically powered allowing them to be unobtrusive and safe for use in almost every situation. Dataq is licensed to operate UAVs by the Civil Aviation Authority and their drones can be used routinely up to 120 metres and much higher with individual permission from the CAA.

Dataq Technologies is a data acquisition company created through collaboration with the University of Warwick to provide innovative survey and data collection services. Areas of expertise include remote control aerial survey and photography services and using automatic data acquisition technologies such as RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) to track assets throughout supply chains.
