Local considerations in Brazil
- Heat, humidity and heavy seasonal rain drive HVAC load, condensation, mold risk and drainage problems, so these are inspected regularly.
- Roofs, gutters and drains are checked before the rainy season.
- Work is scheduled around trading hours, building rules and landlord requirements at each site.
Licensed and insured local providers
Regulated trades in Brazil are assigned only to providers who hold the licenses or registrations the work requires there, and every provider carries the insurance the program sets.
