Installing heavy equipment, […]
Introduction When BCA issues a PFI Stage 2 letter for your building, it means the periodic facade inspection has identified defects classified as “Require Repair” or “Unsafe”-and your MCST or building management must now engage a certified Competent Person (CP) to oversee detailed investigation, manage façade repairs, and submit compliance reports to the Building and […]
