When it comes to building repairs, understanding the distinction between structural and general repairs is important, so let’s review the key differences:- Structural Repairs: focus on enhancing a building’s deterioration. Extensive work is required, addressing issues like concrete decay, leaking roofs and balconies. Repairing these issues ensures the building’s stability and safety and requires a specialised remedial builder to assess damage and recommend a solution. General Repairs: are simple patch-ups for everyday wear and tear. Items such as fixing broken windows, loose cupboard doors and separated bricks on walls. While enhancing aesthetics and functionality, general repairs do not directly impact the building’s structural integrity. #ProtelumProjects #remedialbuilder #construction #projectmanagement #restoration #buildingrepairs #structuralrepairs #leakingroof #concretedecay

Another of the almost daily stories about defective design / construction. Safety critical elements are not just about 2nd stairs, cavity barriers or disproportionate collapse. The mundane stuff like window fixings, and boards attached balcony’s are important too - if these fail and fall 10 stories to the ground they could easily injure or kill a passer by. Yet how often are they left to the least qualified person (usually the fitter) to come up with a design - in this case it looks like several tubes of no nails! https://lnkd.in/eniSb3qr

This week's post in our Deck Design series will explore two common types of deck foundations: pad footings and caissons. Understanding the differences between these foundation types, their benefits, and their applications will help you make an informed decision for your deck project. https://lnkd.in/gxJBfQVe

🌆 Ever wondered how skyscrapers are built?️ Here's a breakdown of the key stages: 🏗️ Foundation: Ensuring a stable ground with piles (⚒️) to support the building's weight. 🔧 Underground Utilities: Installing sewerage, electrical lines, etc. underground, marked by utility symbols (⚡🚽). 🏢 Slab on Grade: Pouring the first concrete floor directly on the ground, creating a flat working surface (🏗️🚧). 🏗️ Building the Tower: Constructing the framework floor by floor, with columns, core walls (🏗️), and slabs. 🏗️ Building Envelope: Creating the building's exterior envelope using materials like windows and cladding (🪟🔨). 🏠 The Home Stretch: Completing the final concrete floor (topping off) and constructing the roof (🏗️🏠). 🏗️ Dismantling the Cranes: Removing construction cranes in a specific order (🏗️🔧) to ensure safety. 🛠️ Finishing Touches: Completing interior finishes and addressing any minor issues (🛠️🏢). 📝 Testing and Certifications: Conducting inspections and tests to meet building codes and safety standards (🛠️✅). 🎉 Completion: Handing over the finished building to the owner/developer (🏢🔑). This simplified overview provides a general understanding of the steps involved in constructing a high-rise building. #construction #engineering #highrise #skyscraper #building #architecture #infrastructure #engineering_marvel

🏗️ Unlocking the potential of every structure, one bracket at a time! 🛠️ At [Your Brand], we understand the backbone of any towering skyscraper or an expansive bridge lies in the smallest details - the #SupportBracket. Dive into our latest article where we explore the unsung heroes of the construction industry. These sturdy allies ensure #safety, #durability, and #stability, distributing weight and preventing overloading with unwavering reliability. Steel or aluminum? High-rise or low-rise? No matter the project, support brackets are the silent guardians, standing firm against the forces of nature. Their versatility doesn't end at function; these components are also stars in the architectural realm, melding strength with design to elevate the aesthetic of any edifice. Read on to discover how our expertise in the field of building steel and structural components is shaping skylines, one support bracket at a time. Let's build the future together – safely and stylishly. 🏢✨🔗 Explore the full insight here: https://lnkd.in/ebfd5Mjv #BuildingMaterials #EngineeringExcellence

Progress Update: Foundation walls are 95% complete, with structural steel installation scheduled for early November. Interior demolition is now complete, underground plumbing is underway, and the rebuild has begun! A huge thank you to all our partners for their continued support and hard work on this project. #ConstructionProgress #ProjectUpdate #Teamwork #Weitzman #ConstructionIndustry #TargetBuilding #TargetBuildingconstruction

How to Mark Brick Work Layout on Site location👇 🗾 Site Preparation: Ensure the site is cleared of any debris and leveled properly. 💯Establish Reference Lines: Use a string line or laser level to establish straight reference lines for the walls. These lines will guide the placement of bricks and ensure straight walls. ✍️Marking Out: Mark the positions of door and window openings, corners, and any other features on the walls using chalk or marker. ⚙️Setting Out: Use the dimensions of the walls and openings to determine the starting point of each wall and ensure they are square and correctly positioned. This involves measuring and marking the locations of corners and openings according to the building plans. #civilguruji #construction #siteknowledge #sitework #brickwork #brickworklayout #plan #homeplan #location #engineers #sitepreparation #marking #setting #reference #line

Are you a developer? Thinking about what build material to use on your next project? Here are three reasons why you should build with an Insulated Solid Wall Construction method like ICF. ➥ Compatibility - you may not realise it but ICF will seamlessly work with any other elements you want to add - whether they are standard or non-standard. ➥ Construction Simplicity - You can use ICF on the whole build. Need a basement - go for it. Large, overhanging structure - not a problem. Supporting wall - easy. Vaulted ceilings - simple! ➥ Adaptability - come across a problem on site or does the client suddenly want to make a change in the design. Not a problem, with ICF you can incorporated changes into the formwork design right up until the concrete is poured. There are plenty of other benefits insulated solid wall construction methods like ICF can bring to your build, head to our website to find out more. #MMC #ICF #HousingDevelopers #Contractors https://lnkd.in/dNHwV75

Exterior insulation, weather resistant barrier, and airtight layer all-in-one. The Zip r6 sheathing from @huberwood does all this (after taping and flashing of course). Exterior insulation has been likened to a sweater or coat that fully surrounds the exterior providing continuous thermal bridge from the outside to inside. This is one of the most important components that should be in every home. Not all exterior insulations are the same however. Zip r6 panels are 1-1/2” and provide an r-value or 6.6. This far beats the cheap white foam the stucco subcontractors use (by far most common install method for Arizona). This will equate to less energy usage and a far more comfortable environment for the occupants. Why build a house that is built using the same materials and techniques as a tract house? Nothing is different other than the finishes. It’s been the same way for years 🎶 We strive to be at the cutting edge of building science. We build better because you deserve better. #longliveourbuildings Build @beckettconstruction Architect @designtank.co Interiors @reneesimondesign
