Site Review Testimonial
“On a recent project in Edmonton, I had the team at AWCA come and do a site review to provide a third-party opinion on an electrical conduit installation that was impacting the integrity of our steel stud framing.
They identified several areas where studs were being cut after they had been installed, resulting in a compromised structural connection. The conclusion in the report provided, along with the product literature and industry best practices documentation as reference, was forwarded to the general contractor and as a result, the other trade was asked to correct this deficiency.
I was very happy with the thoroughness of the review on site, as well as the detail and professionalism in the report. I didn’t know this service was available from the AWCA, but I will be using it more often moving forward and recommend any of my peer contractors to take advantage.”
