Construction Companies - Do you know your BIM from your RIM?

Construction Companies - Do you know your BIM from your RIM?

gazza Mon, 19/10/2015

Fewer than 1 in 6 firms (16%) in the building services sector are ‘fully ready’ to use Building Information Modelling (BIM) on projects, according to new survey findings from the Electrical Contractors’ Association (ECA).
Construction companies are not ready for BIM
With the government deadline for the mandatory use of ‘BIM Level 2’ in all Whitehall-procured contracts just months away, nearly 6 in 10 firms (57%) said they were not fully ready, while over 1 in 4 (27%) said they were ‘not ready at all’ (please see attached graph).
Yet, despite the above findings, nearly two-thirds of respondents (65%) say that BIM Level 2 will be ‘good for the sector’, while almost 6 in 10 (57%) say it will be the ‘future for building services’.
ECA Director of Business Services Paul Reeve commented:
“The survey results show that ‘BIM awareness’ is generally high across building services, but many contractors, and others associated with our sector, still have a long way to go to be ready for the government’s 2016 BIM deadline.
"The results indicate that while some companies have already engaged successfully with BIM, many more have yet to engage with the aspects that allow effective information sharing with others in their supply chain.
"In addition to flagging up our findings to government and the industry, we will be working with our ‘BIM readiness’ partners to tackle the important gaps identified by the survey, as soon as possible”.
The sector-wide ‘BIM readiness’ survey was held in conjunction with the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) and building services and engineering consultancy BSRIA.
CIBSE Technical Director Hywel Davies said:
“This survey confirms that whilst there is a growing awareness of Level 2 BIM in the MEP sector, there is still a real need for more information.
“There is also a requirement for specific tools and guidance for the MEP sector, which CIBSE is working closely with industry partners to develop.”
BSRIA's Principal Consultant and BIM specialist John Sands commented:
“The figures revealed by the ECA BIM survey show just how much work is still to be done within the building services industry to be ready for Level 2 BIM.
“However, it also demonstrates the positive approach to the changes it will inevitably bring, and that is an important aspect of this survey.”
The survey has attracted sector-wide support, including from SELECT, the Building and Engineering Services Association (B&ES) and BEAMA.
The full results of the survey, which attracted hundreds of responses from contractors and others associated with the sector, will be released shortly.

Milton Keynes Electrical Contractor calls for end to dodgy apprenticeships

Milton Keynes Electrical Contractor calls for end to dodgy apprenticeships

gazza Mon, 05/10/2015

A local electrical contracting company based in Milton Keynes is backing Government plans to end low quality apprenticeships and bring advocates of low quality apprenticeships to justice. Low quality apprenticeships not only bring the good reputation of electricians and the industry to it's knees but also affect the career progression of those affected.
Maintaining high standards of apprenticeships and training courses is the only way to ensure the electrical industry attracts the best candidates and thus addressing the impending skills gap crisis.
Attracting both good businesses and candidates to the electrical industry
In the last budget, the Government announced plans to refresh the apprenticeship scheme so it becomes a viable career option for school leavers. Reputable employers who offer apprenticeship positions not only offer top class training but also often find that the apprentices stay with the company after training – this saves recruiting candidates who may have been trained differently – or worse still, finding that they have not had the correct level of training for the job.
Unfortunately apprenticeships have not been taken seriously by all employers some of whom see apprentices as a cheap labour option and therefore do not provide apprentices with the necessary skills and training required to carry out electrical work competently.
The Department for Business, Innovation & Skills have indicated that in the future, anyone offering fake or low-quality apprenticeships training could face the possibility of a fine and prosecution in a Magistrates Court. The government is committed to giving apprenticeships similar controls to university degrees.
"Everyone knows what a university degree means," said Skills Minister Nick Boles.
"It's an official title. Young people doing apprenticeships should get the same level of distinction."
SJD Electrical calling for change
Fed up with the number of job applicants without the correct training or skills prompted Milton Keynes based SJD Electrical to make their voice heard in support of Government plans to crack down on electrical training that does not meet Government standards.
Ruth Devine, Director at SJD Electrical said:
“Protecting the term ‘apprenticeship’ will help us attract the most able individuals and offer a guarantee to apprentices that they will receive world-class training.
A number of applicants applying for jobs at SJD who thought they had completed apprenticeships, were surprised to find that they were not fully qualified. Low quality training courses contribute to the many instances of poor workmanship we come across.”
Apprentices should be assured of receiving a recognised qualification and skill set which will enable them to carry out electrical work to the required standard and allow them to progress effectively. Apprentices should not be applying for jobs to find they have wasted their time undertaking their apprenticeship and having to redo it.
By cracking down on unscrupulous employers, apprenticeships will return to the enviable reputation they once had which enabled apprentices to obtain a skill for life and be assured of a skill that in the future they can also pass down.

Major Flaw Identified in new Safety Regulations

Major Flaw Identified in new Safety Regulations

gazza Tue, 29/09/2015

New safety regulations for the Private Rented Sector (PRS) which are due to come into force on October 1st 2015 have a major flaw according to the electrical safety charity Electrical Safety First.
The Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Regulations (England) 2015
From October 1st, landlords in the PRS will be required to provide a working smoke alarm for every floor of their property as well as a CO detector. Unfortunately there has been no mention of electrical safety as part of these new regulations sparking concern that both tenants and landlords will under estimate the importance of maintaining a high standard of electrical safety in rented accommodation. This is despite parliamentary support to include electrical safety within the regulations.
“While we applaud any safety improvements for the PRS, we have been extremely disappointed that electrical safety has not been included in these new regulations”, explains Phil Buckle, Director General of Electrical Safety First.
“It is quite extraordinary that this has been overlooked, given that electricity is responsible for almost half of all domestic fires in Great Britain – with an estimated cost of £1Billion. The human cost is, of course, incalculable but we do know electricity kills one person a week and seriously injuries around 350,000 each year.

“Given the huge expansion in the PRS, where a third of properties fail to meet basic standards, concerns around electrical safety can only increase. So we were deeply concerned when our call for regular electrical checks in privately rented accommodation was omitted from these new regulations.”
Reinforcing the electricity kills message
Electrical Safety First has been campaigning for better electrical standards in rented accommodation after identifying that tenants renting in the private sector were at higher risk of being injured or killed by electrical shock, injury or electrical fire than any other housing sector. This is often because of confusion on either the landlord or tenants side over who has responsibility for what in rented property.
Electrical Safety First are campaigning for mandatory electrical safety checks to be carried out in rental properties at least once every 5 years. This has been successfully introduced in Scotland with high hopes that this could be extended across England and Wales in the near future.
How the new law will affect tenants
Tenants renting in the private sector should be provided with a working, fitted smoke alarm on every floor of the property as well as a CO detector if the property has solid fuel appliances such as a coal boiler, open fire or log burner.
It will be the tenants responsibility to ensure they continue to be in working order by testing them regularly.
It is hoped that the introduction of the new Regulations will raise standards amongst PRS accommodation.

Thousands of Jobs at Risk over FiT Tariff Cuts

Thousands of Jobs at Risk over FiT Tariff Cuts

gazza Mon, 21/09/2015

Proposed cuts of 87% to the Feed in Tariff (FiT) proposed by the Government in January 2016 could put thousands of jobs at risk in the renewables sector.
If the cuts go ahead, home owners investing in renewable energy could wait decades for a viable return on their investment thus cutting the fledgling renewables industry apart. FiT payments per unit of electricity produced would drop to less than 2p with property owners receiving approximately £190 less than what they currently receive at the present FiT rates.
NICEIC & ELECSA share grave concerns
The electrical certification scheme providers NICEIC and ELECSA both share concerns that should the cuts be introduced in January 2016, demand for renewable energy installation will nose dive leaving many people working in the industry at risk of losing their job.
Dani Putney, renewables specialist at NICEIC and ELECSA commented: “It has always been accepted that the tariff would need to be revised in line with falling installation costs, but at the proposed rates home owners would have to wait decades before they would see a viable return on investment.
“To suddenly pull the plug on funding in such a drastic manner could have a dramatic, negative effect on the market and potentially put thousands of jobs at risk.
“The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) has admitted they are unable to quantify how many business will be affected.
“We would urge all those working in the sector to respond to the consultation and voice their concerns about the potential impact of this decision.”
“We believe there are some alternatives the Government could consider to safeguard the long-term future of the industry. We will be consulting with our members on the best options going forward before making our official response to Government.”
Why are the cuts necessary?
The cut in the FiT tariff is the result of the need to halt a £1.5 billion overspend on renewables according to the Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC.) There have also been suggestions that the FiT subsidy could be halted entirely if costs cannot be controlled.
The FiT scheme is due to be phased out in 2018-19, however the Government have suggested that if the scheme cannot be placed on an affordable and sustainable footing, then the scheme will be brought to an end as soon as legislatively possible. There is an open Governmental consultation open until the 23rd October 2015 with responses invited via online survey.
People working in the renewables sector directly and the associated industries can visit the consultation page at the DECC website.

Why you should always use fire rated downlights

Why you should always use fire rated downlights

gazza Tue, 08/09/2015

If you are upgrading the lighting anywhere in your home to downlights you may have been asked this age old question.....”do you want fire rated or non-fire rated downlights?” To the average home owner this question will be pretty meaningless apart from the fact that fire rated sounds better than non-fire rated possibly.
However, the difference between the two is stark and in fact opting for the wrong type of downlight could cost a life – this is why it is important to beware of the difference between the two before answering the question.
What is a fire rated downlight?
In basic terms a fire rated downlight seals off the hole that is cut into your ceiling when having downlights installed. An intumescent pad swells up when reaching certain temperatures which blocks the spread of fire. Without this protection in place, the fire simply comes through the hole and ignites quicker than ever as there is no fire protection in place.
When downlights are installed, a hole is cut into your ceiling. Ceilings are a natural fire barrier – but they must be intact for this barrier to be effective. Cutting a hole into your ceiling is like an open door inviting the fire to spread quickly to the floor below. Fitting a fire rated downlight effectively seals this hole for varying lengths of time to prevent the fire spreading.
The rule of thumb is: The ceiling must be returned to the same level of integrity as it was before the downlights were installed. Your fire safety should not be compromised by having downlights installed.
Listen up all you users of non-fire rated downlights!
If the rooms above are habited then it is very highly recommended that you only use fire rated downlights. When we mean habited rooms this is any room which is accessible by people – so it could be anything from the flat above yours to the attic which is only accessed now and then.
If are installing downlights in a one storey building then fire rated downlights are not such a necessity – but to be honest, why take the risk? If a fire breaks out, vital time could be lost and could be the difference between escaping the fire or being burnt to a crisp. The electrical safety charity, Electrical Safety First campaign for all downlight installations to be fire rated.
If you currently have non-fire rated downlights installed (an electrician can advise on this) they can be converted to fire rated by fitting a fire hood or loft cap. However, when the cost of converting is compared with the cost of fitting the latest technology, it may make sense to replace the whole light fitting.
What does 'fire rated' actually mean?
Having opted for fire rated downlights – you will then see that the downlight will protect you from fire for varying lengths of time mainly 30, 60 or 90 minutes. Which rating you opt for will depend on the type of building they will be installed in - in particular, how many floors the building has and the type of structure the downlights are being installed in. As a simple example, if the downlights are being installed in the ceiling in the bottom floor of house, then 30 or 60 minutes would normally be recommended. The top floor of a block of flats would need considerably longer ratings of 90 or even 120 minutes of fire rating.
The Aurora clearance range of downlights offers all the features you would expect from a fire rated downlight. However, it is not just the fire that Aurora lighting consider, it is the prevention of fire in the first place. Heat build up from downlights can lead to house fire, however the increased ventilation slots allow heat to be effectively dissipated.
Another common problem with downlights is insulation. Increased insulation in loft spaces has lead to spotlights overheating when insulation has been laid incorrectly around downlight fittings leading to overheating and fire. A fitted insulation cap on Aurora clearance spotlights allows the spotlight to the IC rated meaning it can be covered with insulation material if necessary without performance being affected.
A qualified and registered electrician would recommend the most suitable fire rated downlight for your particular needs.
Look out for lamp flexibility
Although fire safety consideration should be top of the list in any spotlight fitting selection, buyers also need to look for lamp flexibility. Naturally at Aurora clearance many of the fire rated downlights can be fitted with the latest LED lamps, however householders who are looking for a cheaper solution can also fit any bulb technology they desire – for example halogen or CFL. Long or standard length lamps can be fitted. The Aurora Aone lamp is a good starting choice and provides excellent all round light quality.
The idea is user friendly for both the electrician and the user. Complicated products simply push up installation prices, something that home owners and specifiers want to avoid.
Finally don't forget the certification!
The fitting of downlights is governed by Part P building regulations. Whoever is installing your downlight must work to these regulations and provide a Part P certificate on completion of the work. If no Part P certificate is supplied not only is the work illegal but crucially you could be putting you and your family at risk of electrical shock, injury or even house fire – the situation you are trying to avoid!
Fire rated downlights will only be effective if they are installed correctly meeting the latest electrical regulations and used in line with manufacturers instructions.

A partnership agreed in July 2015 between Stroma and TrustMark now allows Stroma registered electricians to gain TrustMark status which will help home-owners select competent qualified electricians and other trades people to carry out work in their homes. This followed a comprehensive and thorough assessment of it's processes of vetting and inspecting installers as well as it's customer service policies, compliance audits, quality management and compliant handling procedures.
Stroma is already recognised as a market leader in energy performance, sustainability and compliance and the partnership will enable members to apply for TrustMark membership which gives an additional mark of quality. Searches on the TrustMark website and telephone helpline has reached in excess of 5 million already in 2015 which is an increase of 77% in comparison with 2013.
The benefits of TrustMark to Stroma Members
TrustMark membership gives an extra security blanket to home owners who are looking for quality trades people to carry out work in their homes. TrustMark is the only Government endorsed scheme that will properly assess and inspect scheme members to ensure they will work at all times to Government endorsed standards.
Qualification to join TrustMark is subject to Stoma's own membership application and site assessment procedures and gives Stroma certified installers to promote their installation services to a captive audience.
Word up from Stroma and TrustMark
Speaking about the partnership, Andy Sharp, Commercial Manager of Stroma Certification, said: “Becoming a TrustMark Scheme Operator is a huge endorsement for us and it is a badge that our installers can show the customer, proving that they have been properly assessed and inspected and will work to Government-endorsed standards. Becoming a Scheme Operator reinforces our commitment to supporting the installer industry. Our members have an additional mark of quality to display for customers which reinforces them as competent, qualified installers.”
Simon Ayers, Chief Executive of TrustMark, said: “Stroma Certification put in an excellent application which the Board was pleased to approve and it has demonstrated a readiness to embrace the high standards and responsibilities we expect of all scheme operators. Being a long standing member of the Competent Persons Scheme, Stroma Certification was able to provide all the relevant qualifications and information easily, which sped up the approval process our end. We are delighted to have Stroma on board as they will bring many more members into the energy saving field and home-owners can feel confident that if they employ a TrustMark-registered Stroma installer that they are working with the best in the business.”

Factory direct pricing – saving your electrical contracting business money

gazza Wed, 19/08/2015

In business, every penny has to be accounted for and it makes sense to slash prices by simply cutting out the middle man. This way, you are still obtaining the same quality of product but for less money – its a no brainer of course!
Quality lighting at factory prices
Here at Aurora clearance, we are not just any old lighting vendor – we know there are lots of those around already, we are already responsible for delivering quality lighting to practically any electrical project or design that is specified in today's market place.
Customers want clean, bright, modern non-obtrusive lighting and we deliver all of this and more in every single light fitting we produce at Aurora. The great thing about using Aurora clearance for your lighting needs as an electrician is that you'll be saving a small fortune – which could be used for sensible things such as paying the tax bill or van maintenance – you could even put the savings forward to boost your marketing budget to get even more customers – another no brainer!
Our lighting prices are amazing
Another reason why we're different is that we only stock our own lighting products so you can be assured of Auroras top quality standards. We stock a full range of downlights, luminaires and lamps all at factory prices. Our customers are electrical industry professionals and include domestic electricians, commercial electricians, specifiers and buyers.
Although our customer base is huge – and that's another thing, our customer service is industry leading (we just thought we'd tell you that! :)) one thing that we hear very often is “I wish I had found this site sooner”. Why pay more than what you have to for quality lighting? We slash prices on hundreds of products every week so why not stock up? OK you might get known as 'the light bulb man' but that's a good thing – especially when you can get our amazing lighting at such great prices!
Fast delivery
Order before 1pm and it will be with you the next working day – it's as simple as that. No waiting around on slow delivery – our delivery is free and speedy. We know you have deadlines to meet so we won't keep you waiting.
So whether you have a big commercial lighting project coming up or need some quality bathroom light fittings, we are the place to be. Our prices , service and delivery will make you smile and that surely can't be a bad thing!
Peace of mind
Once installed, Aurora lighting will last – meaning low maintenance and replacement costs for your client. The high quality fittings ensure there will be no need to return to replace faulty products and breakages. It is not often you can cost cut and say that!
Next time you require light fittings, give Aurora clearance a try – all from the comfort of your arm chair....we can't promise but there might even be the potential for a lie in as a result!
We look forward to doing business with you soon - visit www.auroraclearance.com
