Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

SINGAPORE: The Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA) on Tuesday (July 15) said it is seeking public feedback on new proposals regarding its Internal Wiring Framework.

Specifically, the changes focus on expanding the regulatory framework beyond telephone lines to the installation of other cables such as coaxial cables, the Nationwide Broadband Network's optical fibre cables and structured cabling, IDA said in a statement.

It is also looking into mandatory licensing for workers installing the wires, as these installers will have to meet certain industry standards. End users can also look for certified workers on IDA's website should the regulation get passed.

"With the proposed changes, end users can contact IDA on any issue regarding the quality of the works done. This allows IDA to investigate complaints on the four types of internal wiring works, and require defaulting contractors to rectify the defects," the statement said.

The public consultation exercise will be held from July 15 to August 15.

IDA seeks to expand internal wiring regulations, license workers

SINGAPORE - The Infocomm Development Authority (IDA) is conducting a public consultation on proposed changes to the Internal Wiring (IW) Framework, which currently regulates the standards, deployment and installation of telephone lines.

The proposed changes include expanding the framework to the installation of other types of cables, such as coaxial cables, the Nationwide Broadband Network's (NBN) optical fibre cables, and structured cabling. IW workers will also need to be certified before they are allowed to carry out internal wiring works.

With the proposed changes, consumers will be able to go to IDA's website to look for licensed IW workers to install or expand the cabling within their premises. In addition, they may contact IDA on issues regarding the quality of the works done, and IDA will investigate complaints on the four types of internal wiring works, and require defaulting contractors to rectify the defects.

The public consultation exercise starts today and ends on Aug 15.For more information, visit: http://www.ida.gov.sg/policies-and-regulations/consultation-papers-and-decision...

MMT PASSION Meeting - CASE 1/4 - Tree Removal

MMT PASSION Meeting - CASE 1/4 - Tree Removal - Video

Uprooted trees and scattered debris caused by a violent monsoon that blew through Tucson Sunday afternoon kept some businesses extra busy Monday.

At Raintree Apartments, 6450 E. Golf Links Road, approximately eight trees were lost some split, some blown over said the apartment manager, Gina Desisto. On top of that, the property was covered with debris.

The property has been here for 30 years, so were talking huge trees, Desisto said. Its hard to believe the wind was that strong that it took the trees down. Im surprised the buildings are still here.

Even though two large pines were leaning against the building and a couple trees were leaning on cars, there was no real property damage, so Desisto doesnt think there will be an actual insurance claim.

She brought in the landscaping company that regularly maintains the property, Summit Commercial Landscaping, to help clean up the debris, but a tree service would have to be subcontracted to handle the large trees.

Storm damage kept Quality Tree Service, a local family-owned business, busy as well. By 11 a.m., the company already had calls from 22 people wanting estimates, said co-owner Kelly Slachter. Im just running around doing the estimates of people who have called.

Degrees of damage varied, but the worst Slachter saw was a tree that had crushed the side of a house, causing significant damage to a wall.

During busy times such as these, QTS tries to help existing customers first. But, we take the calls in order of most dangerous to their family, Slacther said. For example, she said, if somebodys garage was blocked and they had to get out of the house for work, that would be a priority.

If a tree is already on the ground, Slachter says, consumers can hire a landscaper as opposed to a tree service. In the industry, theres a big difference in hiring a landscaper and a tree service, she said. If its already on the ground, you can hire a landscaper, since its not more than 8 to 10 feet off the ground. Our crew goes up off the ground.

Slachter said people often wonder why the price difference is so large. A lot of times people will call and say a landscaper came and charged $150 and you guys want to charge $450, she said. Its because the tree- care industry is considered a logger, which is a very dangerous job.
