New interactive tool helps Florida condo boards and owners plan major capital projects with Florida-specific cost data.

BOCA RATON, FL, UNITED STATES, February 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Wyman Legal Solutions Launches Free Condo Building Renovation Cost Estimator for Florida Associations and Owners

Wyman Legal Solutions has launched a new Condo Building Renovation Cost Estimator, a free online planning tool designed to help Florida condominium associations, board members, and unit owners better understand the potential cost of major building renovations.

The estimator is now available at:
https://wymanlegalsolutions.com/interactives/condo-renovation-estimator_V2.html

The interactive software allows users to enter key building details—such as number of stories, unit count, and scope of work—and receive a planning-level cost estimate for common condominium projects. These may include exterior painting, roofing, balconies, structural repairs, mechanical systems, and elevator modernization.

Unlike generic renovation calculators, the estimator is tailored specifically to Florida condominium buildings and reflects typical cost ranges seen across the state. The tool was developed to help associations and owners plan for major capital projects, understand funding needs, and avoid the financial surprises that often lead to disputes.

“Condo boards and owners are facing significant new financial pressures tied to inspections, reserve requirements, and aging infrastructure,” said Andrew Wyman, founder of Wyman Legal Solutions. “We created this estimator to give people a practical starting point so they can understand the scope of potential costs before they hire engineers or contractors.”

The Condo Building Renovation Cost Estimator is part of Wyman Legal Solutions’ growing library of free interactive planning tools for homeowners, associations, and construction professionals.

In addition to these tools, the firm offers a Renovation Concierge program for condominium buildings and homeowners’ associations. The program is designed for large-scale capital projects and combines construction-law oversight with an Owner’s Representative to help associations navigate complex renovations with greater clarity and control.

Under this program, Wyman Legal Solutions provides legal guidance throughout the project while partnering with a Florida Certified Master Builder who serves as the association’s Owner’s Representative. This dual approach helps boards:
• Evaluate scopes of work before bidding
• Review and negotiate construction contracts
• Monitor project progress and change orders
• Address contractor performance issues early
• Reduce the risk of disputes, delays, and cost overruns

These services are designed to give associations a single, coordinated team focused on protecting the building, the board, and the owners throughout major renovation projects.

Users can access the full library of planning tools at:

Leadership Transition Positions 1VALET to Scale Its Unified Smart Building Operating System Across North America

OTTAWA, ONTARIO, CANADA, February 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — 1VALET Corp., a leader in smart building operating systems and video intercoms, today announced the appointment of Demetrios Barnes as Chief Executive Officer, effective today.

Barnes brings deep operational, go-to-market, and capital markets experience to 1VALET. Most recently, he served as Chief Operating Officer of SmartRent, where he helped scale the business into a global proptech platform and supported its transition to a publicly traded company. His career spans high-growth startups and scaled operating environments, with a consistent focus on execution, customer outcomes, and disciplined growth across hardware, software, and services.

As part of this leadership evolution, Jean-Pierre Poulin, founder of 1VALET, will transition to the role of Executive Chairman. In this capacity, Poulin will step back from day-to-day operations and focus on Board leadership, strategic guidance, and key external relationships, while continuing to support the Company’s long-term vision.

Since founding 1VALET, Poulin has built one of the industry’s most comprehensive smart building platforms—grounded in firsthand experience as an owner and operator. Under his leadership, 1VALET established a strong reputation for reliability, deep hardware-software integration, and a customer-first approach that has resonated with developers, asset managers, and operators across North America.

“Demetrios is a proven operator with deep credibility across the real estate and proptech ecosystems,” said Jean-Pierre Poulin, Executive Chairman of 1VALET. “The Board believes this transition positions 1VALET to execute with greater focus and scale, while preserving the strong foundation, culture, and customer trust we have built over the years.”

“The real estate industry is ready for a smarter, more complete approach to building technology,” said Barnes. “Jean-Pierre built 1VALET with a clear vision rooted in real-world operational experience, and that foundation is evident in both the product and the culture. What excites me most is the strength of the platform and the team behind it.”

Barnes also highlighted the role of 1VALET’s technology leadership in shaping that platform. “The work Hanna and the engineering organization have delivered is exceptional,” Barnes added. “They’ve built an enterprise-grade, deeply integrated system that reflects how buildings actually operate. I’m excited to partner closely with Hanna as we continue to scale the product and push the boundaries of what a smart building platform can be.”
Barnes pointed to a broader inflection point in the proptech industry. “There is a growing gap in our space: products that don’t work well together, companies losing focus, prioritizing profits over partnerships, and app fatigue that’s creating real dissatisfaction among the operators and residents we’re supposed to serve,” Barnes said. “Partners are being forgotten. At 1VALET, a company built by operators for operators, we believe proptech is about partnerships, trust, and being relentlessly great at what you do. That’s where my focus is. Full stop.”

Under Barnes’ leadership, 1VALET will focus on accelerating its position as the most complete smart building platform in the market, bringing together access control, video intercoms, IoT, resident experience, and building operations into a single, unified system. The Company will prioritize disciplined growth across North America while advancing a measured international expansion strategy rooted in strong local partnerships, regulatory alignment, and operational readiness.

“As a former asset manager myself, I know the pressure teams face to deliver better resident experiences while managing complexity behind the scenes,” Barnes said. “Our mission is simple: make buildings work better for everyone. By combining best-in-class technology with a relentless focus on execution, we believe 1VALET is uniquely positioned to define the future of smart communities.”

About 1VALET

1VALET is a leading smart building operating system designed to connect residents, property teams, and building infrastructure through a single, unified platform. By integrating access control, video intercoms, IoT devices, and a powerful resident app into one web-based dashboard, 1VALET helps owners and operators enhance resident engagement, improve operational efficiency, increase NOI, and create safer, smarter communities.

Developed with NFL front office expertise, Front Office 360 brings structure, valuation, and cap strategy tools to collegiate NIL and revenue-share
management

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, February 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Front Office 360, powered by RockDaisy, is a cap management software platform purpose-built for collegiate athletic programs, bringing professional front office structure and discipline to the rapidly evolving Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) and revenue-share landscape—across all sports.

Led by longtime NFL executive Cliff Stein, Front Office 360 applies proven professional cap and contract management practices to college athletics at a time when institutions are being asked to manage athlete compensation with increasing complexity and accountability. During his 22 years with the Chicago Bears, Stein served as salary cap manager and contract negotiator, overseeing more than $3 billion in player contracts. While advising multiple Power Four universities on NIL and revenue-share strategies, Stein identified a growing gap: athletic departments were being asked to operate more like professional front offices without the tools or infrastructure to manage budgets, valuations and negotiations efficiently.

Front Office 360 is currently in use by multiple Power 4 conference programs and is available to athletic departments seeking professional-grade tools to manage athlete compensation responsibly in the evolving collegiate landscape.

“The new NIL and revenue-share landscape involves athlete valuation, contract administration and negotiations that have never been a part of college athletics,” said Stein. “Using the professional sports front office model, Front Office 360 was built to bring structure, discipline and clarity to that process.”

Sports law attorney Matt Kelly, who has worked closely with collegiate athletic departments for more than 12 years, played an instrumental role in shaping the platform’s vision. “Institutional NIL payments have fundamentally changed the decision-making environment for athletic departments,” said Kelly. “Schools must now balance competitive pressures with budget, compliance and long-term planning. Front Office 360 provides a framework for consistency, transparency and accountability.”

To bring Front Office 360 to life, Stein partnered with RockDaisy, LLC, led by Chris Tanck and Elvis Pereymer. Tanck and Pereymer spent more than 17 years at the National Football League, where they helped design and build the league’s Football Information System (FIS)—the salary cap and contract reporting database used by all 32 NFL teams. “We’ve spent years building the systems professional front offices rely on every day,” said Tanck. “Front Office 360 applies that same technical foundation to college athletics, helping programs move beyond spreadsheets into a modern, scalable cap and contract management platform.”

With institutional dollars now being committed directly to student-athletes, athletic departments are being asked to manage compensation across all sports with increasing discipline and accountability.

Industry Adoption

“In anticipation of the House settlement, it was critical that we identify an innovative solution to oversee cap management and athlete compensation across all sports. Front Office 360, combined with the industry expertise behind the platform, allowed us to quickly build cap models, assess athlete value based on evaluation, and position ourselves effectively for retention and transfer portal decision-making.” – Marcus Sedberry, GM for Wisconsin Football

“As we navigated the NIL landscape, we began adopting practices from the professional sports model. Front Office 360, along with the industry expertise behind the platform, helped us create a cap management strategy that allows player evaluation to drive valuation and provides a framework for measuring the return on investment of each contract.” – Jordan Sorrells, GM of Football, Clemson University

“We reviewed the vendor landscape and quickly concluded that Front Office 360 provides the tools necessary to manage and oversee revenue-share and NIL compensation across all sports. The platform offers the structure and visibility needed to support informed decision-making in a rapidly evolving environment.” – Mitchell Moorer, Michigan State University

“As a former NFL head coach, I have firsthand experience with how professional teams manage the salary cap. Front Office 360 delivers not only the tools required for effective cap management, but also the industry expertise necessary to apply those tools at a high level.” – Ron Rivera, GM of California Football

Key Features in Phase 1
• Allocate: Budget allocations across sports
• Valuation: Evaluation-driven compensation
• Build: Profiles and cap modeling
• Negotiate: Contract workflows
• Cash Flow: Real-time

Built by industry professionals, Front Office 360 reflects real-world collegiate front office workflows and was recently featured in Sports Business Journal. Learn more at FrontOffice360.com.

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, February 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Independent PC game developer Lucky Tlhalerwa, known publicly as Lucky Pikinini, is pleased to announce its expansion of a multi-year catalog of story-driven action titles released for worldwide audiences on Steam. Since beginning game development in 2017, the developer has published six games and remains focused on creating large-scale action experiences designed for players who value narrative progression, varied mechanics, and long-term updates.

Recently, the developer’s latest release, IMS Intelligence Corp, launched worldwide on January 26, 2026. Positioned as a large-scale third-person and first-person storytelling action game for Microsoft Windows PC, the title reflects a long development arc intended to deliver a more expansive experience within the broader Super Incursion / IMS universe. The project also reinforces a franchise-building approach, with multiple installments designed to expand characters, lore, and gameplay systems over time.

According to developers, the key theme across Lucky Pikinini’s work is a commitment to single-player storytelling at a time when much of the market leans heavily toward multiplayer-first design. Rather than narrowing the experience to one combat style, the developer emphasizes layered gameplay that allows players to approach fights in different ways. Certain titles combine multiple mechanics, such as ranged combat, melee options, explosive tools, crafting systems, and hand-to-hand techniques, so encounters can play out with meaningful variety based on player choice.

Furthermore, the catalog also includes survival gameplay alongside story-driven content. With survival modes less commonly treated as core features in many recent action releases, Lucky Pikinini positions this format as an additional pillar of replayability, giving players alternative challenges beyond the main narrative arc.

“Story-driven action games still matter, especially when players can experiment with different mechanics and strategies instead of being pushed into one repetitive loop,” says Lucky Pikinini. “My goal is to keep raising quality with each release, such as better graphics, stronger gameplay, fewer bugs, and storytelling that feels worth the time – all while continuing to support games with updates after launch.”

In addition to game development, the creator is also a comic artist and has published six comic books, with several game concepts described as adaptations of original comic worlds into playable PC experiences. Looking ahead, the developer plans to continue expanding existing franchises while introducing new ones. One upcoming franchise concept, the Earth Lightning Force series, is described as a story-driven action saga centered on a super-powered soldier named Cadmiss McCurdy, with a first release targeted for a late 2026 or early 2027 window.

Lucky Pikinini’s games have collectively sold more than 30,000 copies, and the catalog is expected to continue growing as new installments and franchises are introduced.

New controllers enhance no-load performance in power supplies and lighting drivers

STMicroelectronics (NYSE:STM)

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND, February 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — STMicroelectronics has introduced the STNRG599A and STNRG599B controllers for resonant-converter topologies with innovative phase-shift control (PSC) that boosts power-supply no-load efficiency and delivers flicker-free deep dimming in lighting applications.

The STNRG599A is optimized for power conversion, with built-in X-capacitor discharge circuitry for safety in adapters, chargers, TV power supplies, and industrial power supplies. The STNRG599B, without discharge circuitry, targets circuits such as lighting drivers. The controllers operate up to 750kHz maximum frequency, with a wide input-voltage range to handle applications from 90W to several hundred Watts.

In each IC, two complementary outputs drive external high-side and low-side switches 180° out-of-phase, with zero-voltage switching across the full operating range. ST’s PSC technique regulates the output by directly controlling the phase shift between the half-bridge voltage and the resonant-tank current. This reduces the control loop’s sensitivity to LLC/LCC component tolerances, which stabilizes the burst-mode entry and exit thresholds, enhances dynamic behavior, and increases input-voltage ripple rejection.

Both controllers integrate hard-switching prevention and anti-capacitive protection. In addition, overcurrent protection with delayed shutdown and automatic restart controlled by an external pin allow flexible management of short-term overcurrent events, persistent overloads, and output short-circuits. There is also non-latched DC brown-out/brown-in protection with programmable enable and disable thresholds, which prevents operation when the input voltage is outside the selected range.

Using the associated EVLG599-250WLLC evaluation board, users can quickly explore how PSC improves performance and efficiency in AC/DC adapters, industrial DC/DC converters, and switched-mode power supplies. The board combines the STNRG599A with ST’s SRK2001A synchronous rectifier and MasterGaN1L power system-in-package, which contains two 150mΩ GaN FETs and an offline half-bridge driver. The ready-to-use heatsink-free converter has sub-1µA standby current and delivers up to 10A continuous output current within a 78mm x 54mm x 23mm outline.

The STNRG599A and STNRG599B are in production now, in a SO16N package, priced from $0.61 for orders of 1000 pieces.

The EVLG599-250WLLC is available from the eSTore or through distributors for $336.00.
