APRIL | NEWSLETTER

Dear TVDM Consultant Client

With March coming to a close, it’s daunting to think that we are already finished with the 1st quarter of the year!

March was a very busy month for the TVDM Consultants’ team. We were fortunate enough to attend the NAMA Western Cape Breakfast Conference at the beautiful Durbanville Golf Club, where we were able to promote our services. It was great to engage with those who attended.

WEBINARS

It is that time of the year again where we are heading into winter, which means that the rain will once again become a problem in our community schemes, with everyday problems such as trying to waterproof roofs and windows, enclose balconies, as well as understanding how weep holes work, and what maintenance tenders are.

Be sure to join our April webinar happening on 13 April 2023, where we will be joined by Philip Nell from Naba Consulting. He will be discussing everything you need to know regarding waterproofing and maintenance in community schemes.
