Outback Deck Recognized as Big 50 by Remodeling Magazine

Bryan Miller and John Gwaltney, owners of Outback Deck, have been selected by Remodeling magazine to join the Remodeling Big50. The Big50 awards were presented at a gala dinner at the Remodeling Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C. on May 8, 2014. The 2014 Big50 winners are featured in the May issue of Remodeling, a national trade publication read by more than 98,000 professional remodeling contractors.

Its such an honor to receive this industry accolade, adds Bryan Miller, President of Outback Deck. Weve worked hard to create an outdoor living brand consumers can trust, adds Miller. Remodeling magazine chose Outback Deck because of their commitment to outstanding customer service, quality craftsmanship, and integrity.

Miller adds, Our business philosophy is simple. We own homes too. We created a company that was designed around the way we wanted to be treated. Thats why our approach is simple. We educate homeowners about their options, then we offer them product and budget choices.

Outback Deck client, Mary Rollins, adds, l was so pleased with the people at Outback Deck. I felt like they genuinely cared about me and my home, I would highly recommend them.

Each year, since 1986, the Remodeling Big50 inducts 50 owners of remodeling companies that have set exceptionally high standards for professionalism and integrity through exemplary business practices, craftsmanship, and impact in their community or the industry at large. Big50 remodelers run successful, often growing companies of various sizes that have taken the lead in raising industry standards.

The Big50 selection process has become increasingly rigorous in recent years, and the result, Remodeling editors believe, is one of the strongest classes to date. Uniting the 2014 inductees are high standards and a determination to push through the recession taking the opportunity to retool systems and processes to prepare for the recovery ensuring that as business picks up, they are poised to meet their sales, production, and customer-service goals and continue to thrive, according to Remodeling.

The award recognizes excellence and leadership, and its a privilege to be named to this select group of remodelers.

Remodeling editors, columnists, industry leaders, and the companies themselves make the nominations each year. Following a lengthy evaluation and interview process, the editors select the 50 individuals who exemplify the best of the industry that year, and who have something to offer other remodelers in proven practices. Outback Deck was selected for the category of outstanding ethics.

Outback Deck of Roswell, GA Receives Remodeling Industry's Highest Honor

Sea levels are rising due to climate change. The World Bank has ranked Mumbai as one of the most vulnerable cities to sea level rise in the world fifth in terms of overall cost of damage and seventh in terms of damage measured as percentage of GDP.

The horrors of July 26, 2005 still haunt us every time there are predictions of heavy rainfall. Flash floods and landslides occur, in some capacity, every year during the monsoons. The floods, stagnant water and untreated surface runoff catalyse the spread of diseases, deterioration of ground water quality generating negative perceptions of these vulnerable urban spaces.

In response, the municipal government expands its budget to install larger storm water pipes and constructs new sewage treatment plants. However, there are no attempts made to address the root cause behind these issues ineffective top-down government regulations with general public apathy as a by-product. To better address these causes, one must first analyse the citys morphology.

Mumbai, from being an archipelago of seven islands with wetlands between them, was consolidated, first by the British and then by the Indian government into one large land mass. The city grew northwards and employment centres were set up together with housing complexes, which in turn attracted informal communities to encroach nearby.

Parallel to this growth, government organisations set up infrastructure and created spatial strategies for development in order to streamline the way for entrepreneurial agencies to populate the market. In search of this market oriented goal, naturally existing systems (mangrove forests, wetlands, rivers) were ignored, and at many places erased. The consolidation of islands resulted in most of the wetlands being sacrificed thereby, causing a shift in balance urban development replacing nature. The mangrove forests, rivers, and wetland systems that protected the coastal suburbs from high monsoon tides and floods were compromised.

Despite the municipality constructing concrete roads and building storm water drains, lack of maintenance and unchecked growth of formal and informal developments blocked these drains with solid waste. To add to this, deforesting wetlands made the city vulnerable to tidal surge, causing storm water drains to overflow back into the city during high tide.

In addition to issues of flooding, the sea level around Mumbai is projected to rise by 48cm by 2100, which, along with tidal and storm surge, could have devastating impact on the coast. There have been an insubstantial number of studies carried out on this issue. A Google search reveals some newspaper articles mentioning the possibility of sea level rise, and a general technical report from the National Institute of Oceanography in Goa.

However, thanks to public protests due to frequent floods, the remaining mangroves and wetlands have been placed under protection of the forest department and strict regulations have been set against their deforestation. Most or all the mangrove forests are now located along coastal edges of Mumbai. They have been pushed out, and rivers have been squeezed in, leaving Mumbai vulnerable to tidal waves, floods, erosions and sea level rise.

Deeper examination suggests the urban corridors of Mumbais river emerge as one of the greatest potentials to not only address issues of flooding, but also create a liveable and symbiotic urban environment. Mumbais rivers are seasonal and begin in the catchment areas in the hills of Borivali National Park, and flow via wetlands Dahisar in the north, Oshiwara towards the west, Poisar in the centre and Mithi in the southern part of Mumbai into the Arabian Sea.
