The Act also requires local authorities to provide advice and assistance to businesses and voluntary organisations in relation to business continuity management. This duty is an integral part of the Act's wider contribution to building the UK's resilience to disruptive challenges. It should not be seen as a stand-alone duty, but rather in many ways is a logical extension of the work already undertaken to fulfil other duties under the act (e.g. working with commercial and voluntary organisations in the development and exercising of emergency plans).

 Regulation of the house building industry is increasing, as the Government tries to balance the need for more (and more affordable) housing with the preservation of the environment. But some of the regulations, particularly those arising from the tax regime, conflict with these laudable aims. This paper was produced by PwC's Construction and engineering sector specialists for the Housing Market Intelligence report 2005.

For Quick, Inexpensive Bathroom Remodeling – Don’t Demolish, Refinish!

When a bath tub or bathroom sink gets dingy, damaged, and ugly, many homeowners opt for an extensive bathroom remodeling. However, there is a more cost-effective way to rectify the problem!

 

 

Full-Blown Renovation; Time Consuming and Costly

 

 

When it comes to replacing a bath tub and sink, ceramic tile must be torn out, the tub and sink removed, and drywall demolished and removed. A long messy process causing substantial inconveniences to all family members results.

Plumbers and carpenters are required for new fixture installation, and then re-tiling once fixtures are in place. The cost for a new bathroom sink and tub has now shot up into thousands of dollars, just to install a $100 bathroom sink and a $250 bath tub kit.

An Inexpensive and Quick Alternative

If this type bathroom renovation sounds tedious, time-consuming, and depressing, there is another alternative! Widely available from numerous manufacturers in a large assortment of colors, a quality bath tub refinishing product can be used for bathroom sink refinishing or sink repair. Technically called “aliphatic poly urethane,” these 2-part coatings are also known as epoxy coating. Epoxy finishes are nearly as tough and durable as the factory finish on bathroom fixtures when properly maintained and cared for.

The beneficial aspects of these coatings include:

  • A short amount of time is required to begin and complete a bath tub refinishing or sink refinishing project. Once the coating is applied, the tub or sink is ready for use in approximately 48-hours, depending on the product and manufacturer.
  • The price of refinishing a tub or sink is but a fraction of bathroom remodeling cost; especially when considering demolition, preparation, and installation of new fixtures. Not to mention the services of carpenters, plumbers, drywallers, tilers, and painters that might be required.
