Turning your maintenance cost for Curtain Facade become is “yielding” Profit

When million of dollars is poured for facade maintenance, seldom is moving out of the box, to turn the facade becomes your yield machine.

Curtain wall facade is complex building component. In mandatory building inspection MBIS, it is essential part subject to inspection. GBE has done both maintenance, repair and new built of curtain wall system. In the experience journey, we realize many peers has underplayed the great potential of facade for outdoor digital.

A simple “Google Earth” footage with our technical study to the curtain wall system may flourish you with another fresh impression and economical benefit.

Why don’t you think of bringing up your facade when you kept spending million on maintenance? When you have to satisfy the MBIS, why do you think of the uplifting at the same time. Many said the technicality is too out of depth. You are welcome to drop us an email.

爛尾項目

何謂爛尾項目，是指未能按計劃完成的建設項目。而專業復建服務可以使爛尾項目重新啟動並最終完成。但對於業主而言，爛尾樓的存在仍然是一場巨大的災難。未能完成的項目意味著大量投入的資金無法收回，承建商可能會提出索償，銀行亦可能會終止貸款。更糟糕的是，物業可能需要以低價出售於市場，造成進一步的損失。

復建無望的主因

最令人遺憾的是，在面對這些問題時，很多時缺乏專業人士的協助，使情況更加複雜。這些問題錯綜複雜，讓許多行內外的人士選擇避而遠之。

這些項目需要大量的專業知識來應對各種挑戰，涵蓋範疇包括：

1. 地政

2. 規劃

3. 建築

4. 地盤施工

5. 機電系統

6. 規範材料等

7. 妥善處理銷售文件的完成，包括分契和大廈公契等業權轉讓的技術文件

[筆者曾於2006 年北京四環近郊的爛尾項目做檢查，亦參與過深圳中心城檢查。]

寶貴經驗

我們曾經處理過一個停工多年的爛尾項目，也涉及活化工廠大廈的爛尾項目以及國內的不良資產項目。我們也為基金投資公司核查有潛力的爛尾項目，這些項目包括正在興建或尚未完成的地盤。

目前，樓市正經歷深度調整，導致大量爛尾項目的出現。我們也接收到許多由會計師行和律師樓轉交的個案，若有需要，歡迎隨時查詢。

由於每個爛尾項目內容非常敏感，因此未能在公開平台討論。敬請見諒。

Blockage inside the Pipe

Is epoxy-coated pipe with Stainless Steel Collar a Right Choice

GBE has been practising in the various large scale repair , renovation, asset upgarding and new development project. We have experienced the entire life – cycle of the property .

An interesting observation was the choice of epoxy-coated iron pipe by many peers . Many prefers this pipe with their specific reason, but seldom can share the issue associated with the maintenance

Below is the footage we made to illustrate the inherent problem of epoxy-coated pipe. The internal lining which was formed by rolling iron-sheeting, was peeled off and physically blocked all the deposit inside.

We observe there are some reasons causing the peeling off. The issue such as mis-alignment of stainless steel collar to the pipe, the imperfect treatment to all the cut edges, wrong choice of fitting and insufficient of pipe brackets.

6 points which Professional Project Manager should know

To successfully manage the reinforced concrete (RC) cycle in building construction, a professional project manager (PM) must be aware of several key points.

1. The installation of precast concrete walls on the floor plate is a crucial step. This not only helps with accurate setting. It needs to be in place at the earliest to free up the working time of tower to serve other trade.

2. The lift shaft temporary platform needs to be strictly controlled according to practice notes. This platform serves as a temporary housing for equipment during construction.

3. Understanding the joist and purlin requirements for the timber formworks in cantilever structures is essential. These structural elements provide support and stability to the formwork system. This also impairs the cycling if it is wrongly programmed.

4. The left-in GMS anchor for the curtain wall must be accounted for. This anchor provides a secure attachment point for the curtain wall system.

5. The left-in GMS anchor for the curtain wall must be accounted for. This anchor provides a secure attachment point for the curtain wall system.

6. The PM should be aware of the location of left-in conduits and box-outs for future trimming bars. These elements allow for easy installation of electrical and mechanical components in the future.

By understanding and managing these six points effectively, a professional PM can ensure a smooth and successful RC cycle in building construction.

GBE is glad to be appointed again for the luxury residential apartments in Happy Valley. This project is the Professional call.

Being the Professional Surveyor / AP / RSE, a very technical and holistic approach to mastering of the old design code against the current enforceable standard prevailing in the town.

With the aid of BIM uses, the drawing generation, spatial survey, crash analysis are all in place to lever up the entire quality of services.

Welcome enquiry from the you

What a shame when million of money has spent with tons of supervision and ends up the concrete quality like below picture.

While much says were casted on the deficiency supervision, GBE wants to highight how a professional approach should be to handle and redo the concrete columns. How to contain the damage ? how to maintain and bring back the right supporting structure ? What should be done right once and for all. See the video.

2023 was the first year of re-opening after pandemic. GBE has been appointed from many projects. We love to share with the projects in Central, where represents the financial hub of Hong Kong, by Google Earth Studio.
