| BWB is made up
of volunteers from within the BC building industry with
Project Management experience in the planning, design,
construction, re-construction and maintenance of
shelter. Our volunteers include individuals in the
building trades, architects, engineers, project
managers, construction specialists, procurement
individuals, instructors in shelter related disciplines
and the general public.
International Relief Organization Associations
We are currently discussing with Canadian NGO's such
as World Vision, The Canadian Red Cross, Care Canada,
Save the Children, the Christian Children's Fund, and
staff have agreed to choose projects in which we have
common interest. The basic business structure is as
follows:
(i) The international aid organization or shelter
agency will request BWB to undertake a need assessment
of the shelter and the skills training requirements of
a specific project.
(ii) BWB will assist the NGO in identifying the
shelter and skills training program , building costs
and timeliness with input from its network of local
construction industry associations
(iii) BWB will provide the NGO qualified
individuals from their Canadian roster and wherever
possible will partner them on site with construction
industry professionals, for each particular job.
(iv) The NGO's will enter into agreements with the
volunteers and would be responsible for paying the
volunteer's cost of travel, food, accommodation and
any short term health and disability insurance
coverage similar to their own short term.
