Q: Why are more multi-unit property owners opting for seismic retrofits?
A: In recent years, there has been a noticeable increase in awareness about earthquake risks among property owners. Connor Daly, owner of Connor Daly Construction, notes, “I’m starting to get a lot more calls from duplexes, triplexes, even four-unit buildings.” These buildings, though not mandated to retrofit, are recognizing the importance of safety.
Q: What challenges do owners face in deciding to retrofit?
A: Previously, projects often fizzled out due to a lack of alignment among owners. “All of the owners would not be aligned and not all want to do the retrofit work,” Connor explains. However, the growing understanding of risks and benefits is helping overcome these challenges.
Q: What benefits do retrofits offer?
A: Seismic retrofits provide peace of mind and protect investments. As Connor states, “Earthquakes are a concern for the majority of homeowners out there, and they understand the risks.”
