We care so much about paper and packaging; when you’re done with it we want it back… Cascades Recovery is an integral part of Cascades Inc. Together, we are responsible manufacturers of paper and packaging, we produce it, and after it has been used we want it back. Unlike waste companies whose primary business is “waste to landfill” – our business is to “divert material from landfill” and find ways to use the discarded materials over and over again, working towards zero waste. We assist our customers in achieving their sustainability goals while delivering cost effective recovery methods. Through our Recovery …PLUSTM Program, a customized material recovery plan is developed for each customer.

The “PLUS” takes our efforts beyond simple “recovery” and incorporates program efficiencies into each business processes, ensuring that every effort is made to find beneficial uses for all discarded materials. Programs: Industry Compliant / Waste Audits / Assessments Tenant and Staff Awareness / Education Environmental Certificates / Diversion Reports Marketing / Communications Services: Compactor / Baler Installation Paper Recovery / Recycling / Secure Document Destruction Organic Food Waste / Mixed Plastics / E-waste Wood Pallets / Metal Recycling / Hazardous Waste General Refuse and Equipment Supply

Replacement Cost Appraisal Service As a diligent property manager, when trusting a company to calculate the Replacement Cost of your building for insurance purposes, accuracy should be the most important factor to you. A valuation by Canada’s largest real estate consulting company, backed by data from live, current construction projects across Canada, is the best way to ensure that you are neither paying too much for your insurance premiums, nor at risk of being underinsured in the event of a loss.

Roofing consultants

Inter-Provincial Roof Consultants Ltd. provides third party, independent, professional consulting services throughout the province of British Columbia, including Vancouver Island. Our roof consultants and roof inspectors are all ticketed Journeyman roofers and Registered Roof Observers (RRO) with additional education and certification provided by the Roofing Contractors Association of British Columbia (RCABC) and the Roof Consultants Institute (RCI). Free quotations: Usually provided within 24 hours, depending on detail and complexity of project and can easily be requested online at www.iprc.ca. or by contacting our office at 604-576-5740. Roof Condition Reporting: Surveys of existing roofs, leak investigation and reporting, roof repair and replacement advice. Thermography: Determine which areas are suffering from moisture ingress or determining water ingress origin. Is it really the roof leaking, or could it be the wall or nearby window seals? Following non-destructive testing, we can confirm moisture presence by taking core samples and taking moisture readings of the suspect area. Specification Writing and Tendering: Preparation of specifications, tender documents, and tender reviews upon request to assist in decision making. Inspections: We provide site visits while work is in progress on new construction and re roofing projects. Upon completion of the project, we perform a final roof observation and submit a final roof observation report ensuring the client that all work has been completed in accordance with specifications or contrarily listing any/all outstanding deficiencies thus ensuring the integrity of the application.

BBB TIP:

SERVICE CONTRACTS

When you make a major purchase you may be offered a service contract. Although often called 'extended warranties', service contracts are not warranties. Warranties are included in the price of the product. Service contracts come separately from the product, at an extra cost. To decide whether you need a service contract, you should consider several factors: whether the warranty already covers the repairs that you would get under the service contract, whether the product is likely to need repairs and their potential costs, how long the service contract is in effect and the reputation of the company offering the service.

Find out how your business can adapt by speaking with an Albrite Lighting Specialist today.

NEW REGULATIONS ARE COMING!

Don’t be left in the dark when your replacement products are no longer available. Contact an Albrite Lighting Specialist to discuss strategies on retroďŹ tting your commercial space today.

You know you have to re-pipe. You have two options; the first is to hire individual contractors for plumbing, drywall installation, painting, etc., then organize and oversee their work. The potential for problems is enormous. The second option is obviously your best solution. Employ the services of a professional, experienced re-piping specialist that takes the project from the planning stages to the finished project, within the allotted time and budget.

BMS is the best solution to your plumbing problems. For questions or inquiries log on to bmsmechanical.com or email us at info@bmsmechanical.com
