Can I Use a Building Cost Calculator for Renovations?

Introduction

You’re ready to transform your kitchen, add a second storey, or finally build that backyard studio — but first, the big question:

“Can I use a building cost calculator to estimate my renovation costs?”

It’s a fair starting point. With countless free calculators online, it seems like a quick way to budget.

But here’s the truth: renovations are not like new builds, and square metre calculators don’t always work the way you think.

In this article, we’ll explore:

When cost calculators are helpful

Why renovations are harder to estimate

What factors most calculators miss

And how to get a detailed, accurate renovation estimate

How Building Cost Calculators Work (and Where They Fit In)

Most online calculators ask you to input:

Area (in m²)

Type of build (single or double-storey)

Finish level (standard, premium, custom)

Location

They then apply an average rate (e.g., $2,200/m²) and produce a ballpark total.

This method is simple and effective for:

Project homes

Flat sites

Volume builds

But for renovations? Not so much.

Why Renovation Costs Are Harder to Estimate Per m²

Renovations don’t follow the same rules as new construction. Here’s why:

1. Demolition and Waste Removal

Before you build, you have to remove. Calculators rarely include:

Demolition

Temporary supports

Asbestos removal

Rubbish disposal

2. Structural Uncertainty

You won’t always know what’s behind that wall — and surprises = extra cost:

Electrical rewiring

Plumbing redirection

Damaged joists or slab irregularities

3. Access and Site Limitations

It’s harder and more expensive to work in:

Tight spaces

Occupied homes

Multi-storey inner-city sites

Scaffold hire, crane access, and labour loading must be factored in — calculators don’t cover these.

4. Integration with Existing Structure

It costs more to “tie into” your current layout than to start from scratch. Example:

Matching flooring or brickwork

Adjusting rooflines

Bringing older sections up to code

When a Cost Calculator Might Help

A renovation calculator can give you:

A ballpark figure to assess feasibility

Cost comparison between standard vs high-end finishes

An idea of cost per room (e.g., bathroom vs full-house reno)

Use it early — but don’t rely on it for final planning or financing.

The Better Way: Professional Renovation Estimating

Here’s what we do at AS Estimation & Consultants:

Review your floor plans and renovation brief

Conduct a digital takeoff (materials, labour, waste, etc.)

Factor in site access and demolition requirements

Use local supplier rates and labour costs

Deliver a BOQ or detailed estimate tailored to your project

This results in a more accurate, realistic forecast — especially for:

Kitchen and bathroom upgrades

Storey additions

Structural extensions

Multi-phase renos or heritage properties

FAQs

1. Can I use a building cost calculator for a kitchen renovation?

Only for very rough pricing. A kitchen’s cost depends on cabinetry, electricals, appliances, and plumbing — which calculators can’t fully capture.

2. Are renovation estimates per square metre accurate?

Not usually. Renovation work is more labour-intensive and includes demolition and integration — driving up the cost per m² significantly.

3. What’s the average cost of a home renovation in Australia?

It varies widely. Basic bathroom reno: $15,000–$30,000. Full extension: $2,500–$4,000/m² depending on complexity.

4. How long does a professional renovation estimate take?

Typically 3–5 business days after receiving floor plans and scope of works.

5. Can I use your estimate to compare builder quotes?

Yes — our BOQs help you verify if builder quotes are missing scope or inflated in certain trades.

Final Thoughts

Building cost calculators are great for new builds — but they fall short when it comes to renovations.

If your project involves demolition, custom adjustments, or working around existing structures, your costs will be highly variable. That’s why you need a professional, renovation-specific estimate.

At AS Estimation & Consultants, we understand the challenges of pricing renovations in Australia. We’ve worked on everything from unit makeovers in Sydney to rural property extensions in regional QLD.

Geographical Narratives: Mapping Leon S. Kennedy's Origins

-edit 20:45 GMT+8 2025/02/01-

To those who have sent me negative messages criticizing my use of AI: Well, yes, I use AI tools like ChatGPT Pro, Claude Pro and Perplexity Pro to assist me in analyzing and writing, along with resources like Google, Quora, YouTube, Reddit, extensively playing the games myself, and even drawing from my personal experiences, movies I've watched, and the knowledge I've gained over the years. I studied film production in my college with a focus on screenwriting and directing. I gather information, analyze it, and synthesize ideas to create something meaningful—and I don't see why that's an issue.

If you lack the initial passion, imagination or knowledge about Resident Evil, NOT A SINGLE TOOL—AI or otherwise—will enable you to create substantial content. I create this fanfic primarily to entertain myself and to share it with those who might also find resonance in it. I’m relatively late to the franchise (Oct 2024, yeah I know, what took me so long?), and since I don’t have close friends to discuss the games with, writing fanfic allows me to explore and connect with the world of Resident Evil in my own way. With a full-time job, I also use AI tools to enhance efficiency in my leisure time, so I can focus on the parts I enjoy most—crafting stories and delving into the lore. For me, it’s about enjoying the process and connecting with others who share the same passion. The fact that I leverage modern tools and technology to enhance my writing and analysis is a choice I make, and it doesn't concern you if you choose not to explore or utilize these resources yourself. Instead of focusing on how something is made, perhaps consider the effort and thought behind it. Innovation and creativity mean adapting to new tools and methods. Using AI—or any resource—doesn’t devalue the work; it amplifies what’s possible. And if we don’t see eye to eye, that’s fine. Party's over and the door’s over there if you need it. 🫶🚪

Ok pookies, here we go:

I. Geographical and Cultural Setting

Indianapolis as Leon's Hometown Indianapolis (population 740,000 in 1998) offers a compelling contrast to Raccoon City's metropolitan density (population 1.5 million). With its stable Midwestern character, open layout, and moderate pace, Indianapolis is an ideal environment for the Mitchell family's middle-class lifestyle. Its educational resources and affordable living costs made it a logical place for Leon to grow up in a foster home after the loss of his family.

The distance between Indianapolis and Raccoon City—about 360 miles (580 km)—adds to the narrative. It is far enough to signify a fresh start for a 21-year-old rookie like Leon, yet close enough to make the move practical. This geographical separation reinforces his desire for career advancement, while subtly highlighting the pull of Raccoon City's opportunities, including the prestigious Raccoon Police Department (RPD) and its elite S.T.A.R.S. unit.

Raccoon City's Population Paradox: Why 100,000 Doesn't Add Up With a population of 1.5 million, Raccoon City stands as a major regional metropolis—smaller than Chicago (2.8 million) but significantly larger than Indianapolis. This population size positions it as a city significant enough to be deeply entwined with the operations of the Umbrella Corporation.

Setting aside the official game canon, which states that Raccoon City had a population of 100,000, but why did I estimate it to be around 1.5 million? Let’s start with its ultimate fate—being wiped out by a nuclear strike.

For the government to justify deploying nuclear weapons, Raccoon City would need to have a population of at least one million. This threshold aligns with military decision-making logic, as the use of such extreme measures typically requires a significant threat level, both in terms of the scale of the outbreak and its potential to spread. A city with a smaller population might not warrant such drastic action, as conventional containment methods would likely be considered sufficient. However, if Raccoon City were home to a million or more people, the risk of the virus spreading beyond the city limits would be much higher, making a nuclear strike a more viable last resort to prevent a global catastrophe.

To determine a reasonable population estimate, we can look at comparable real-world cities that fit Raccoon City’s urban and geographic profile.

Bridging the Gap: A Tale of Two Cities The use of both Chicago and Pittsburgh Metropolitan Area (MSA) as references helps resolve the tension between:

Chicago for the canon requirement of location: Midwest city

Pittsburgh MSA for the actual game portrayal in the natural landscape: mountainous (Arklay) and the hills in the city

Pittsburgh MSA for the assumed population

Both cities for the Neo-Classical heritage of architectures

Both cities for the urban development scale

Though classified as a Midwestern city, Raccoon City's geography and economic characteristics diverge significantly from regional norms. Unlike the flat plains typical of the Midwest, the city is nestled within the dramatic Arklay Mountains, whose elevation changes and natural isolation evoke Pittsburgh's position within the Appalachian foothills. This unique setting provides the city with a scale akin to Chicago (the Midwest’s largest metropolis), while its geography amplifies a sense of both grandeur and seclusion. The Arklay Mountains, combined with frequent overcast skies, winter fog, and regular rainfall, create an atmosphere of foreboding—a natural curtain for Umbrella’s clandestine operations. This ominous tone, blending isolation with unease, tragically mirrors the fate that would ultimately befall the city.

II. Urban Development and Visual Identity

Architectural Heritage and Evolution Raccoon City’s iconic police department building, converted from a museum, reflects the rich architectural heritage of both Pittsburgh and Chicago, cities that flourished during the late 19th-century industrial boom. Both cities are known for their grand civic and cultural buildings in the Neo-Classical and Beaux-Arts styles—impressive stone structures with ornate facades, symmetrical designs, and elaborate interior layouts. Pittsburgh’s historic architecture emphasizes heavy stonework and Romanesque Revival influences, while Chicago, though also home to many classical structures, became a pioneer in steel-frame skyscrapers and modern urban development.

Raccoon City’s architectural identity appears to be a fusion of these influences, combining the monumental grandeur of Pittsburgh’s historic buildings with Chicago’s urban scale and development patterns.

Modern Development and Infrastructure The Bright Raccoon 21st Century Plan transformed what was once a "sleepy country city" into a thriving metropolis of over a million residents. This is particularly evident in the remakes of Resident Evil 2 & 3, where the city demonstrates comprehensive urban infrastructure:

An extensive subway system with multiple lines connecting diverse districts

Modern commercial districts featuring impressive high-rises

The grand-scale police headquarters housing elite units like S.T.A.R.S.

Advanced medical facilities including multiple major hospitals

Various entertainment venues including shopping centers and sports facilities

Sophisticated underground networks originally built for municipal services

Urban Zones and Districts This rapid expansion created distinct urban zones:

A modern downtown core dominated by Umbrella's corporate presence

Historic districts preserving the city's industrial heritage

Diverse residential areas reflecting growing social stratification

Extensive suburban developments reaching toward the Arklay Mountains

Research and development districts housing Umbrella's facilities

III. Visual Representation and Media Adaptations

Film Adaptations and Metropolitan Character The city's metropolitan character is most prominently captured in film adaptations, particularly Resident Evil: Apocalypse, which utilized Toronto's urban landscape. The choice of Toronto as a filming location provided the perfect backdrop with its:

Impressive skyline reflecting modern urbanization

Dense commercial districts showing economic vitality

Sophisticated infrastructure networks

Mix of historical and contemporary architecture

The subsequent shift in visual representation seen in more recent adaptations, such as Welcome to Raccoon City (2021) filmed in Sudbury, presents a notably different scale that contrasts with this established metropolitan image. However, the grand urban scale established through the main game series and earlier adaptations remains the dominant image in collective fan consciousness, better supporting the city's role as a major hub of Umbrella Corporation's operations.

Underground Infrastructure Network The city's elaborate subterranean networks serve multiple purposes:

Original municipal service tunnels from the industrial era

Modern subway system connecting major districts

Repurposed sections serving as Umbrella's hidden facilities

Complex drainage systems utilizing the natural river convergence

Emergency infrastructure incorporated into older networks

IV. Population Impact and Catastrophic Scale

Metropolitan Dynamics Raccoon City's population created perfect conditions for both Umbrella's control and the eventual catastrophe. This scale was large enough to justify extensive viral research facilities and enable rapid infection spread through dense urban areas, yet small enough for Umbrella to maintain significant influence over local politics, economy, and public safety.

Scale of Infection and Difficulty of Containment The destruction of Raccoon City with a nuclear strike seems somewhat less justified given its official lore population of only 100,000, as the government might have had alternative methods to contain the outbreak, such as:

Bioweapon neutralization – Deploying gas or specialized vaccines to eliminate infected individuals without obliterating the entire city.

Precision airstrikes and ground force operations – Sending special forces (e.g., U.S.S. or military task forces) to conduct targeted strikes and systematic eradication.

Stricter military quarantine – Completely sealing off the city, allowing the virus and infected individuals to die out or minimizing the risk of external spread.

However, the government ultimately chose nuclear destruction, likely due to several factors:

The severity of the virus – The T-virus is extremely difficult to eradicate. Even a single infected crow or rat escaping could lead to a nationwide outbreak. Thus, even for a city with only 100,000 residents, the government could not afford to take any chances.

Time constraints – The military and federal authorities may have believed that containment efforts would be too slow compared to the rate of viral spread, making a swift and decisive solution necessary.

Political motives – Umbrella Corporation had deep ties within the government and may have influenced this decision to cover up its involvement.

Comparison 100,000 Population (Official Setting):

A city of this scale is relatively small, making quarantine measures easier to enforce.

If the military intervenes swiftly, targeted airstrikes and bioweapons could potentially contain the outbreak without resorting to nuclear weapons.

However, considering the virus's incubation period and its potential transmission through animal carriers, the risk remains high, and the government might still opt for extreme measures.

1.5 Million Population:

This is now a large metropolitan area, making containment significantly more difficult.

If 1.5 million people descend into panic and chaos, the government would struggle to maintain order, as societal collapse would happen rapidly.

A larger number of infected individuals increases the likelihood of military quarantine failure, drastically raising the risk of viral spread.

This makes nuclear strikes a more "rational" choice, as traditional methods (quarantine, airstrikes, bioweapons) may no longer guarantee complete eradication of the virus.

Disaster Implications The city's population density proved crucial in several aspects:

Infrastructure Impact: Dense population networks facilitated rapid viral transmission

Crisis Management: Urban density accelerated infection rates beyond containment capacity

Evacuation Complexity: The sheer number of residents overwhelmed evacuation procedures

Federal Response: The risk of 1.5 million potential infected spreading beyond city limits justified the extreme measure of nuclear sterilization

Scale of Catastrophe The population size of 1.5 million directly influenced the disaster's progression:

Rapid viral spread through densely populated areas

Overwhelmed emergency services and healthcare facilities

Failed evacuation attempts due to massive population movement

Justified federal government's extreme containment measures

Created a crisis too large for local control but contained enough for complete sanitization

How well-known was the Raccoon City incident internationally? According to official lore, the Raccoon City incident was partially exposed to the world, but much of the truth was concealed.

In Resident Evil 4 & 4R, when the U.S. president’s daughter, Ashley, is kidnapped, Leon is introduced as a survivor of the Raccoon City incident, indicating that high-ranking government officials were aware of the event.

In Resident Evil 5, the formation of the BSAA (Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance) suggests that the tragedy of Raccoon City became a catalyst for global action, meaning at least some nations knew about its severity.

In Resident Evil 6, bioterrorism had become a worldwide crisis, implying that the Raccoon City incident was the starting point. However, both the government and Umbrella likely hid key details from the public, preventing it from becoming fully known as a global catastrophe.

V. Umbrella Corporation's Strategic Operations

Control and Corporate Influence Raccoon City's size proved perfect for Umbrella's operations:

Large enough to justify extensive research facilities and corporate presence

Small enough to maintain significant political influence

Complex enough to hide suspicious activities

Isolated enough to contain potential incidents

Developed enough to support advanced research facilities

Historical Context and Operations In 1968, the same year Umbrella was founded, Leon's father joined the company's logistics brach as a mid-level manager in Indianapolis. By 1985, his discovery of suspicious shipping patterns led to the tragic elimination of Leon's family, demonstrating Umbrella's ability to quietly remove threats while maintaining its legitimate facade.

Strategic Geographical Separation The calculated distance between Umbrella's research facilities in Raccoon City and its distribution center in Indianapolis represented more than a mere logistical decision—it was a deliberate corporate strategy of calculated compartmentalization. By establishing physical and operational distance between its most sensitive functions, Umbrella created a sophisticated buffer against potential external scrutiny.

Indianapolis offered an ideal distribution hub: centrally located, with robust transportation infrastructure that allowed seamless nationwide pharmaceutical product movement. Meanwhile, Raccoon City's isolated topography provided the perfect environment for confidential research, shielded by complex geographical features and an urban landscape marked by industrial decline and bureaucratic opacity.

This geographical strategy served multiple purposes: it dispersed corporate risk, complicated potential investigative trails, and maintained the appearance of a conventional pharmaceutical enterprise. Mid-level managers like Leon's father, positioned within these carefully constructed operational networks, remained vulnerable yet critically positioned—close enough to observe irregularities, yet expendable enough to be silenced without widespread alarm.

The separation was not just about efficiency, but survival—both of the corporation's interests and its most dangerous secrets.

Threat Neutralization Protocol The choice of middle management in logistics rather than pharmaceutical executives as targets reveals Umbrella's calculated approach. Unlike high-profile executives who mainly dealt with paperwork, mid-level logistics managers had direct access to physical evidence of suspicious activities. Their position made them more likely to notice irregularities while being easier to "handle" without drawing attention. Their relatively lower profile in the corporate hierarchy meant their sudden "unfortunate accidents" would raise fewer questions than the death of a senior executive.

Economic and Social Contrasts The economic and social dynamics between these cities in the 1980s-90s prove revealing. Indianapolis, with its stable social order and emerging status as a logistics hub, served perfectly for Umbrella's legitimate operations. Its straightforward crime patterns, community oversight, and robust public security made it ideal for maintaining a clean corporate image. Meanwhile, Raccoon City struggled with industrial decline: unemployment, deteriorating infrastructure, organized crime, and corruption. These conditions, combined with its isolated geography and complex underground infrastructure, made it perfect for Umbrella's questionable research activities.

VI. Impact on Leon's Character Development

Career Choice Context The contrast between Indianapolis and Raccoon City shaped Leon's career aspirations. This is particularly evident in the Resident Evil 2 Remake, where his reference to Raccoon City as a "big city" reveals much about his background:

This perception is particularly evident in a key moment from Resident Evil 2 Remake, where Leon tells Claire "It's a big city...there has to be [survivors]." This seemingly simple line reveals much about his background and character.

Why? Allow me to shed more light on this 👇 Moving from Indianapolis to Raccoon City reflects:

The genuine awe of someone stepping into a larger metropolitan area

The optimism of a rookie officer facing his first major assignment

The appeal of joining a more prestigious police department

His untested perspective is shaped by:

Moving from a modest Midwestern city to a major urban center

The allure of RPD's specialized units like S.T.A.R.S.

The promise of career advancement and new opportunities

Psychological Journey As a 21-year-old rookie, Leon embodied a mix of optimism and naivety. His outsider perspective made him uniquely observant of the city's contrasts—its modern developments overshadowed by systemic corruption, its bustling streets tinged with unease, and its apparent prosperity marred by corporate control. His first day would transform this optimistic rookie into a hardened survivor, marking the beginning of his relentless quest for truth and justice.

VII. Conclusion

The contrasting dynamics between Indianapolis and Raccoon City form a rich backdrop for Leon's journey. The geographical and social differences between these cities not only shape his character development but also underscore the broader themes of ambition, resilience, and the devastating consequences of unchecked power. The tragic irony of Leon unknowingly walking into the same darkness that had changed his life thirteen years earlier adds a profound layer to his story of personal growth and determination.

The scale and complexity of Raccoon City, with its population of 1.5 million, proved to be the perfect setting for both Umbrella's machinations and Leon's transformation from an optimistic rookie to a hardened survivor. This carefully constructed urban environment, with its blend of historic architecture and modern development, its extensive infrastructure networks, and its hidden facilities, created an ideal stage for the tragic events that would unfold during that fateful September of 1998.

--------

Note: This analysis combines canonical information with real-world contexts to create a coherent background setting for my ongoing Resident Evil fanfiction "The Berthing". By examining the real-world geography and socioeconomic conditions of Indianapolis and Pittsburgh in the late 1960s-90s, I aim to construct a plausible foundation for Leon's journey from his childhood tragedy to his fateful assignment in Raccoon City. This research particularly supports the Mitchell family arc in my story, where Leon grows up in a middle-class Indianapolis foster home before his eventual move to Raccoon City. As a non-American citizen and only been a traveler so far, I've researched these locations and their cultural aspects carefully, but I welcome insights and discussions from readers familiar with these places. Your perspective would be valuable in enhancing the story's authenticity. Lastly, I'd apologize for any grammar or typo mistakes since English is not my native language!

How Long Does It Take to Build a Screened-In Porch?

Thinking about adding a screened-in porch? Great choice. It’s one of those upgrades that can completely change how you enjoy your home. Whether you're picturing lazy summer evenings without the bug bites, a cozy spot for morning coffee, or even a safe outdoor space for your pets, a screened-in porch delivers all that and more.

But let’s get to the big question: how long does it actually take to build one? Well, the answer depends on a few things—your design, the materials, whether you're hiring professionals, and, of course, the ever-unpredictable weather. Let’s break it down.

The Quick Answer: It Varies (But Here’s a Ballpark Estimate)

If you’re hiring professionals, most standard screened-in porches take two to four weeks to build, assuming there are no delays.

Simple conversions (existing porch, just adding screens) → 3–5 days

Mid-range builds (new framing, screens, and basic roofing) → 1–2 weeks

Larger or custom designs (deck extension, electrical work, built-in features) → 2–4 weeks or more

If you're tackling this as a DIY project, add some extra time—especially if you’re juggling work, family, or, let’s be honest, weekend laziness.

The Main Factors That Affect Your Timeline

Starting Point: Are You Building From Scratch?

If you already have a porch or deck, you're ahead of the game. Retrofitting an existing structure with screens and framing is way faster than pouring new footings, laying flooring, and constructing an entire porch from the ground up.

Fastest option: You have a covered porch that just needs screens and a few reinforcements → Less than a weekSlower option: You're building from scratch with permits and inspections → 3–4+ weeks

Permits and Paperwork (Yes, You Probably Need Them)

Most cities require permits for structural additions, and South Bend is no exception. If you're extending your home, adding a roof, or changing your deck layout, expect to deal with your local building department.

Timeline for permits: Anywhere from a few days to a few weeks (check with your city early to avoid delays)

Do you need an inspection? Most likely, especially for electrical work or structural changes

If you hire a contractor, they’ll usually handle the permits for you. But if you’re DIY-ing, call your city’s permit office first. It’s not fun, but it's better than ripping things down later because you missed a requirement.

Weather—The Unpredictable Factor

Here in South Bend, weather can be your best friend or your worst enemy. Rain delays, unexpected cold snaps, or high humidity (which slows down drying times for materials) can all throw a wrench in your timeline.

Spring/summer: Prime building season but also busy for contractors

Fall: Good weather, but shorter daylight hours

Winter: Possible, but expect delays due to cold temperatures

If you’re working with a pro, ask how they handle weather-related delays. If you’re DIY-ing, plan for at least a few buffer days.

Materials: In-Stock or Special Order?

A basic screened-in porch uses standard materials like wood, aluminum, or composite. But if you want custom features—like retractable screens, a specialized roof, or high-end finishes—be prepared for longer wait times.

Standard materials (wood framing, fiberglass screens, asphalt shingles) → Available quickly

Custom materials (special wood stains, high-end screening, metal roofing, custom doors) → May take weeks to arrive

Order materials early. Supply chain issues aren’t as bad as they were a couple of years ago, but delays still happen.

DIY vs. Hiring a Pro: What’s the Time Difference?

Hiring a Pro: Faster, Less Stressful

Timeline: 2–4 weeks (including permits, materials, and installation)

Why it’s faster: Contractors have crews, the right tools, and experience

Best for: Complex designs, busy homeowners, or anyone who just wants the job done right

DIY: Slower but More Budget-Friendly

Timeline: 3–8+ weeks (depending on experience and how much time you have)

Why it takes longer: Learning curve, sourcing materials, possible rework

Best for: Handy homeowners with time to spare, those who enjoy a challenge

If you're going the DIY route, set realistic expectations. Even experienced builders need a few weekends to get a porch done. If you have a day job, factor in the time it'll take to work in small chunks.

The “Hidden” Time Factors That Catch People Off Guard

Waiting for contractors to be available – Good ones book out weeks (or months) in advance, especially in spring and summer.

Unforeseen issues – Your existing deck may need repairs before screening can begin.

Custom requests – Want electrical outlets, a ceiling fan, or built-in seating? These extras add time.

Decision-making delays – Choosing materials, layouts, or finishes can slow things down if you’re indecisive.

So, What’s the Realistic Answer?

If you’re hiring professionals, expect a total timeline of one to two months when you factor in planning, permits, and construction. If you’re going the DIY route, give yourself two to three months—or longer if you’re tackling it piece by piece.

Either way, the sooner you start, the sooner you’ll be sitting back, relaxing, and enjoying your new screened-in porch.

Final Thoughts

If you’re in South Bend and looking for a professional team to handle the job, Screenmobile South Bend specializes in high-quality screened-in porches. They can guide you through design, handle the permits, and make sure everything gets done fast and hassle-free.

[eretzyisrael]

by Sam Westrop

Recent analysis published by Israeli analysts place Hamas’s annual budget in Gaza at between $2 and $3 billion. At least an estimated $500 million of this is provided by the “Hamas Charity Coalition” and various investment entities. New sanctions imposed by U.S. Department of the Treasury are based on similar conclusions, and target a range of charities and companies.

One named entity in the U.S. government document is the “Gaza-based and [Palestinian Islamic Jihad]-affiliated Al-Ansar Charity Association (Al-Ansar),” which “provides millions of dollars … for the families of terrorists affiliated with Hamas and PIJ. Al-Ansar claims to provide funds to families affiliated with these terrorist groups as an extension of Iranian support to the Palestinian people, but the funding ultimately serves as a recruiting tool for terrorist activities.”

Indeed, radical movements have long used charitable programs and promises of social welfare to build a base of support and help with recruitment. Crucially, as the U.S. government realizes, charities do not have to fund Hamas’s terrorist operations directly to benefit the terrorist organization financially or ideologically.

Across the Islamist world, in fact, Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, Khomeinists, Wahhabis, ISIS, and al-Qaeda and, indeed, Islamist groups all around the world, have made use of charitable programs to expand and consolidate control over Muslim communities. Hamas and other terror groups refer to this approach as da’wa. The term is usually employed to mean a proselytizing call to Islam, but in the case of Islamist movements and its terror offshoots such as Hamas, it serves as a call to Islamism – and thus a vehicle to impose Islamist rule. Counter-terrorism experts and an increasing number of governments note that the use of da’wah through charity facilitates an influx of largely-unchecked foreign funds, helps to recruit to new members, frees up money for violent operations, and serves to sanitize the reputation of terror movements.

Much of the charitable work is indeed real, but it still serves to benefit terror. In Gaza, for instance, decades ago, Hamas came to the fore by distinguishing itself, through its charitable work, from the incompetence and corruption of the PLO. While Palestinian nationalists embezzled millions, their Islamist rivals set up medical clinics, orphanages and summer camps for Palestinian youth, winning grassroots support. Decades earlier, the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt pioneered a similar approach.

The designation of Al-Ansar is certainly not the first time the link between charity and terror has been officially recognized. After the 9/11 attacks, Western governments quickly came to realize, with horror, the ease with which these foreign terrorist organizations could exploit nonprofit industries. Worse still, Western governments eventually began to notice that extremist networks within Western Muslim communities were willing to set up nonprofits on behalf of these foreign terrorist groups.

In response, a slew of prosecutions, designations and bans across America and Europe during the 2000s shut down significant numbers of these Islamist charities, but political enthusiasm for prosecutions and investigations eventually waned. Since then, a decade of lax oversight and fears over the political fallout from new prosecutions has allowed the Islamist nonprofit industry to grow once again.

Nonetheless, in 2010, the solicitor-general, Elena Kagan, now on the Supreme Court, reiterated that “Hezbollah builds bombs. Hezbollah also builds homes. … When you help Hezbollah build homes, you are also helping Hezbollah build bombs.”

Today, however, the law is still simply not being enforced. The activities of terror-aligned charities are largely ignored by law enforcement and policy-makers. Sometimes, the taxpayer even funds these radical charities through a wide array of obscene government grant programs.

There is a broader problem too. A search by the Middle East Forum of electronically-filed Schedule F forms (part of nonprofits’ 990 tax returns) – which are supposed to disclose foreign spending by 501(c)s – for mentions of “Palestine” or “Palestinian(s)” yielded hundreds of millions of dollars of expenditures in the Palestinian territories in recent years, with hundreds of millions more likely uncountably listed under broader regional terms such as “Middle East.” Actual recipient names are redacted or unprovided, making the true amounts going to Gaza impossible to track properly.

Nonetheless, through open-source investigation, in the wake of the October 7th attacks, Focus on Western Islamism has put together a list of Islamist nonprofits in the United States, along with fellow travelers, which we believe make-up a major Hamas-aligned charitable industry in North America. Through searches of the electronic 990 filings, we have also gathered and summarized these charities’ top funders through the 501(c) system, totaling a worrying $262 million.

(Note: 501(c)s’ 990 Tax Returns occasionally contain inaccurate information. Misspelled names, incorrect EIN numbers, among other problems. Every effort has been made to ensure the funding data is comprehensively accurate and the grantees listed in these 990s are indeed the nonprofits listed in this report, although it remains possible that a negligible number of false positives have made their way into the final data.)

By Hamas-aligned, we mean that our list comprises charities that have previously collaborated with Hamas or related terror groups, funded charitable proxies for Hamas in the Gaza Strip, or employed officials who publicly express support for Hamas with apparent impunity. A second list of additional Islamist charities with extremist histories relevant to their work in Gaza, but whose current involvement with Hamas or Hamas proxies is unknown, is also included. The charities in both lists (see table of comments) deserve close investigation by media, law enforcement and policymakers.

What to Expect from a Professional Garage Door Repair in Santa Clarita

Garage doors are one of the most essential and often overlooked parts of any home. They provide security, protect your vehicles and belongings, and contribute significantly to the overall appearance of your house. But like any mechanical system, garage doors are subject to wear and tear over time. Whether it's a broken spring, a noisy opener, or a door that just won’t open or close properly, professional garage door service is crucial to ensure your system stays safe and functional.

If you're located in Southern California, especially in Santa Clarita, it's important to know what to expect from a Garage Door Repair Santa Clarita provider. This blog walks you through the key things to anticipate when calling in the pros — from the moment you make the call to the final safety checks after the repair.

1. Prompt Response and Scheduling

The first thing you’ll notice when contacting a professional garage door service is the responsiveness. A good service provider in Santa Clarita understands that garage door issues can disrupt your daily routine, so they aim to provide quick assistance.

Expect to be greeted by a helpful representative who will ask a few questions to understand the nature of the problem. Most reputable repair services will offer same-day or next-day appointments, especially for emergency cases such as when your garage door is stuck open or closed.

What You Can Do:

Have a brief description of the problem ready.

Take note of any unusual sounds or behavior from the door.

Let them know if it’s a single or double door, and what type of opener you have.

2. On-Time Arrival and Inspection

When the technician arrives, they should be on time and fully equipped. A professional Garage Door Repair Santa Clarita technician will usually show up in a clearly marked vehicle with all the necessary tools and replacement parts.

Once on-site, they’ll perform a detailed inspection of your garage door system. This includes the springs, cables, rollers, tracks, opener motor, sensors, and the door panels themselves.

What They Check:

Door alignment and balance

Spring tension and wear

Track integrity and cleanliness

Function of safety sensors

Remote and wall switch performance

This step is essential for diagnosing the problem accurately and preventing future issues.

3. Transparent Diagnosis and Estimate

After the inspection, the technician will explain what’s wrong in simple terms. One of the hallmarks of a professional garage door service is transparency. You should receive a clear diagnosis and an upfront cost estimate before any work begins.

No hidden fees. No vague answers. Just honest, straightforward communication.

Common Garage Door Repairs Include:

Replacing broken torsion or extension springs

Repairing or replacing worn-out cables

Realigning or replacing tracks

Fixing or installing safety sensors

Replacing damaged panels or weather seals

Repairing or replacing the opener unit

If multiple solutions are available, a good technician will explain each one along with their pros and cons so you can make an informed decision.

4. High-Quality Parts and Tools

Another thing you can expect from professional Garage Door Repair Santa Clarita providers is the use of high-quality parts. Your garage door system is under constant stress, so using cheap or substandard components isn’t just a bad idea — it can be dangerous.

From heavy-duty springs to weather-resistant rollers and high-cycle replacement cables, everything should be up to code and suitable for long-term performance.

A technician might also lubricate moving parts or suggest replacing minor components during the visit to extend the life of your entire system.

5. Efficient and Safe Repair Process

Garage door systems are complex and under high tension, especially the springs. A trained professional will know how to handle these components safely and efficiently.

They’ll come prepared with the right tools and knowledge to:

Secure the door in place

Remove and replace broken parts without damaging other areas

Re-calibrate the spring tension for smooth operation

Test and reprogram your opener and remote controls if needed

In most cases, a typical repair takes anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the complexity. The technician will also follow all safety protocols during the repair.

6. Post-Repair Testing and Maintenance Tips

Once the repair is complete, the technician will test the system thoroughly. They’ll check for smooth operation, proper alignment, sensor response, and noise levels.

Most professional garage door service providers will also offer maintenance tips to help you avoid future breakdowns.

Maintenance Advice May Include:

Lubricate all moving parts every 6 months

Keep the tracks clean and free from debris

Test the safety reversal system regularly

Replace weather seals as needed

Have your garage door professionally inspected once a year

These small actions can prevent major issues and save you money over time.

7. Warranty and Service Guarantee

A trusted Garage Door Repair Santa Clarita company will stand behind their work. That means you should receive a written warranty on both parts and labor.

The warranty shows that the company is confident in their workmanship and committed to customer satisfaction. It also protects you in case the same issue arises again shortly after the repair.

You might also get access to service plans or discounts for future maintenance visits.

8. Clean-Up and Respect for Property

Another subtle yet important sign of professionalism is how the technician treats your home. A good repair specialist will:

Clean up debris after the job is done

Dispose of old or broken parts

Leave the work area neat

Respect your privacy and property

You should feel comfortable throughout the entire process.

9. Honest Recommendations for Replacement (If Needed)

Sometimes, repairs aren’t the best option—especially if your garage door system is very old or severely damaged. In such cases, the technician may recommend replacing certain components or even the entire door.

A professional won’t try to upsell you unnecessarily. Instead, they’ll provide honest advice based on the condition of your system, your budget, and your long-term needs.

They’ll also guide you through the different types of garage doors, insulation options, opener features, and safety upgrades if replacement is truly needed.

10. Ongoing Customer Support

The best garage door service doesn’t end with the repair. Many providers in Santa Clarita offer follow-up support, either via phone, email, or even periodic maintenance reminders.

This helps build a long-term relationship and ensures your garage door continues to function properly year-round.

If you experience any issues after the repair, don’t hesitate to reach out. A reputable company will always be willing to address your concerns.

Final Thoughts: Trust the Experts

Garage door issues can happen when you least expect them, but with a professional Garage Door Repair Santa Clarita service, you're never alone. From expert diagnostics and quality parts to safe repairs and lasting support, you can expect peace of mind every step of the way.

Whether you're dealing with noisy springs, misaligned tracks, or a garage door that just won’t budge, getting expert help is always worth it. You’ll save time, avoid injury, and get your door functioning like new.

Choosing the Right AC Installation in New York City

With scorching summers and unpredictable heatwaves becoming the norm, having a reliable air conditioning system is essential for comfort in urban environments. Nowhere is this more apparent than in New York City, where the dense skyline and bustling streets often trap heat, making indoor cooling a necessity. Whether you’re a homeowner, renter, or business operator, understanding the ins and outs of AC installation in New York City can save you time, money, and discomfort.

Why Professional AC Installation Matters

Installing an air conditioner might seem like a straightforward task, but in reality, it’s a complex process that requires professional expertise — especially in NYC. From navigating building regulations to dealing with the specific architectural challenges of older apartments and brownstones, professional installers bring the knowledge and tools to ensure your system is efficient, safe, and code-compliant.

A professionally installed AC unit not only performs better but also lasts longer, helping you avoid frequent repairs and higher energy bills. Additionally, proper installation reduces environmental impact and enhances indoor air quality — key concerns in a crowded urban setting like New York City.

Unique Challenges of AC Installation in New York City

1. Building Regulations and Permits  One of the biggest hurdles in AC installation in New York City is dealing with building codes and obtaining the necessary permits. Whether you live in a high-rise condo or a pre-war apartment, many buildings have strict rules about installing HVAC units. Co-op boards and landlords may also have specific requirements that must be met, including sound level restrictions and exterior aesthetics.

2. Space Constraints  Space is always at a premium in NYC. Window units may not always fit standard frames, and central air systems can be difficult to retrofit into older buildings without existing ductwork. A professional HVAC company can assess your space and recommend systems that are compact, efficient, and compliant with local regulations.

3. Environmental Considerations  New York State and City have been aggressive in pushing for energy efficiency and sustainable building practices. When installing an AC system, homeowners and businesses are encouraged (and sometimes required) to use energy-efficient units that meet EPA guidelines. Many modern systems, such as ductless mini-split units, provide a greener solution that’s perfect for NYC apartments and smaller commercial spaces.

Types of AC Systems for NYC Living

Choosing the right air conditioning system is just as important as hiring the right installer. Some common options include:

Window Units: Ideal for short-term cooling and renters, though not the most efficient or aesthetically pleasing.

Portable Units: Flexible and easy to set up, but usually less powerful and noisier.

Ductless Mini-Splits: Perfect for retrofits in older buildings; offer zoned cooling and high efficiency.

Central Air Systems: Best for larger homes and new constructions; offer whole-home comfort but are costly and require ductwork.

Your choice will depend on your building’s limitations, your budget, and your long-term cooling needs.

How to Choose an AC Installation Company in NYC

Not all HVAC companies are created equal. When searching for a company that specializes in AC installation in New York City, consider the following:

Licensing and Insurance: Ensure the company is fully licensed and insured in New York State.

Local Experience: Look for providers with extensive experience in NYC buildings — they’ll be more familiar with the quirks of urban architecture and local regulations.

Customer Reviews: Check platforms like Yelp, Google Reviews, and the Better Business Bureau to gauge reputation.

Transparent Pricing: A reliable installer will offer upfront estimates with no hidden fees

Maintenance Plans: Some companies offer ongoing maintenance contracts, which can help keep your AC running smoothly year-round.

Residential vs. Commercial | Comparing Construction Estimating Services in Australia

Construction estimating services play a vital role in both residential and commercial projects across Australia. However, the scope, challenges, and approaches differ significantly between these two sectors. Understanding these differences helps project stakeholders choose the right estimating services tailored to their specific needs.

Scope and Complexity

Residential construction estimating typically involves smaller-scale projects such as single-family homes, renovations, or small multi-unit dwellings. These projects usually have simpler designs and fewer trade specialties. Estimators focus on detailed takeoffs for common materials, labor costs, and basic site works.

Commercial estimating covers a wider range of larger, more complex projects such as office buildings, retail centers, hospitals, and schools. These projects often involve sophisticated architectural designs, multiple subcontractors, specialized systems (like HVAC, fire safety), and stricter regulatory compliance. Estimators must account for more variables, higher volumes, and longer timelines.

Estimating Methodologies

Residential estimating often relies on unit rate pricing for standard materials and labor. Estimators typically use detailed plans combined with historical cost data. Because residential projects have shorter durations, estimates may be less layered with contingencies.

Commercial estimating requires more detailed cost planning, including allowances for escalation, complex subcontractor bids, phased construction, and regulatory fees. Advanced software and BIM integration are more common to manage the complexity.

Regulatory and Compliance Considerations

Residential projects must comply with local building codes and standards, but commercial projects face more extensive requirements including fire safety, accessibility, environmental standards, and often more rigorous council approvals. Estimators working on commercial projects need to factor these compliance costs into their estimates.

Risk and Contingency Management

The scale and complexity of commercial construction introduce higher risks related to delays, design changes, and cost escalations. Estimators typically include larger contingencies and conduct detailed risk assessments. Residential projects may have smaller contingencies but still require allowances for unexpected site conditions.

Client Interaction and Reporting

Residential clients often require more straightforward estimates with clear explanations as they may be less familiar with construction processes. Commercial clients expect detailed cost breakdowns, phased estimates, and ongoing updates aligned with project milestones.

FAQs

Are estimating services priced differently for residential vs commercial projects? Yes, commercial estimating is usually more expensive due to complexity and detail required.

Can the same estimator work on both residential and commercial projects? Some estimators specialize, but many have experience across sectors.

Is commercial estimating software different from residential? Commercial estimators often use more advanced software with BIM integration capabilities.

How do contingencies differ between residential and commercial estimates? Commercial projects typically include higher contingencies due to greater risk and complexity.

Are regulatory fees always included in commercial estimates? Yes, professional commercial estimates factor in relevant regulatory and compliance costs.

Conclusion

Residential and commercial construction estimating services in Australia differ significantly in scope, methodology, complexity, and client expectations. Understanding these distinctions helps project stakeholders select the appropriate estimating expertise and tools. Both require accuracy and professionalism, but commercial projects demand more detailed planning, risk management, and compliance considerations. Choosing the right estimating service ensures realistic budgets and smoother project delivery in either sector.

Garage doors are one of the most used entry points in a home, so when something goes wrong, it can cause major inconvenience. One of the most common issues homeowners face is a broken garage door spring. But how much does it really cost to repair or replace a garage door spring?

At Mike’s Garage Door Repair and Service, we know that keeping your garage door in top condition is essential for both safety and convenience. In this post, we will break down the cost of garage door spring repair and help you understand what factors influence the pricing.

Types of Garage Door Springs

Before we dive into the costs, it’s important to understand the two main types of garage door springs:

Torsion Springs: These are typically located above the door and are tightly wound. Torsion springs are designed to lift the door by turning, which requires a lot of tension. Due to their design, torsion springs tend to last longer than extension springs.

Extension Springs: These springs are located on either side of the door and are designed to stretch and contract as the door opens and closes. While less expensive, they usually have a shorter lifespan than torsion springs.

The type of spring you have will influence the cost of the repair or replacement.

Average Garage Door Spring Repair Cost

The cost of repairing or replacing a garage door spring can vary depending on several factors. On average, homeowners can expect to pay between $150 to $350 for spring repair services. However, this price can fluctuate based on the following elements:

Type of Spring: As mentioned, torsion springs are usually more expensive than extension springs. A single torsion spring repair might cost between $200 and $300, while extension springs typically cost between $150 and $200.

Brand and Quality of Springs: Higher-quality or branded springs may cost more, but they often last longer and provide better performance.

Labor Costs: Professional garage door repair companies charge for labor, which can range from $50 to $100 per hour depending on location and the complexity of the job. The more complicated the repair, the more you may end up paying.

Additional Repairs: Sometimes, a broken spring is only one part of a bigger problem. If other parts of the garage door system, such as cables, rollers, or the opener, are damaged, additional repairs may be necessary, which can raise the overall cost.

DIY vs. Professional Repair

While DIY solutions might seem tempting, garage door springs are under extreme tension, making them dangerous to handle without the right tools and expertise. Attempting a DIY repair can result in injury or further damage to the garage door system. At Mike’s Garage Door Repair and Service, we always recommend hiring a professional to ensure the job is done safely and efficiently.
