Project Week 5

Searching for a suitable door…
To meet the needs of SJMA, we decided to look at different door options. We looked at general home improvement stores, such as RONA and Home Depot. However, we were not able to find exactly what we were looking for. Finally, we visited Wood Doors Vancouver in Richmond. There, we were able to discuss the constraints of our project with the door expert. He was able to give us an estimate on a solid core door with a viewing panel on the side. The estimate also included door fitting and a door accessory. He also gave us some information on effectiveness of the door in terms of soundproofing. The door should reduce the sound travelling between the rooms by 50% – 80%. Chris finalized the door order and we are expecting to install it by the end of next week.
Safety concerns…
As requested, we drafted a safety plan for the installation of the soundproofing panels and the door. In this plan, we outlined likely safety hazards and preventative measures. The document also included also included a list of emergency contacts. We are currently trying to set up a meeting with Mark to review our safety plan.
