Abstract: The technology described herein relates to a system and method for improving employee absenteeism, and in particular, to coordinating and optimizing a series of attendance assistance processes.

Abstract: A modular building comprising: a foundation floor having secured therein a plurality of anchor elements; a plurality of wall-retaining track elements adapted to engage wall panels of the building, the track elements being securable to the foundation floor so as to define the position of at least the load bearing walls of the building; wall panels locatable with respect to the track elements, each panel including at least one channel or duct formed therein parallel to a longitudinal axis thereof and at least one channel or duct formed therein disposed perpendicularly to and laterally of the longitudinal axis; and a plurality of securing members adapted to pass through and locatable within said channels or ducts, the securing members being anchored at each end thereof so as to maintain the panels in fixed relationship to one another.

Abstract: A composite material comprising silica cenospheres and a resin, whereby the resin is adapted to bind the cenospheres into a solid mass and retain them in a desired shape into which the composite material is to be formed. The resin is a polymeric compound, formed in situ around the cenospheres. The composite material can be used to form constructional elements used in modular buildings. As such they can include fire retardant materials to improve the safety of the buildings.

Abstract: A construction element such as a wall or roof panel for a building, the construction element being formed from a composite material comprising silica cenospheres and a resin, the resin binding the cenospheres into a solid mass and retains them Gin a desired shape defining the construction element A second composite material can be overlaid and bonded to at least a part of the surface of the construction element. The second composite material has a number of layers bonded together. Colouring agents and fire retardant materials can be included within the second composite material.
