Presenter: Don Brletic - Regional Sales Manager, Western Canada - Ardex Americas Title: Floor Flatness (FF)/ Floor Level (FL) and early phase concrete management systems Don raises awareness of the disparity between Division 03 and Division 09 in the early phase of concrete construction management. Floor Flatness/ Floor Level requirements have a tremendous impact on the construction process as the flooring trade as one of the last trades on a project. At this late stage, strained budgets, cost over runs, remediation decisions and expensive recovery have a negative impact on the over all project which often leads to NFCA recommendations being compromised. |
