The Build Review (Advanced Building Network)’s Post

When it comes to building with Southern Pine lumber, ensuring the structural integrity requires careful understanding how to use the lumber. That’s when you break out the span tables. Lumber span tables are valuable guides which provide the maximum allowable spans for different types and sizes of Southern Pine and pressure-treated lumber under various load conditions. They help you determine how far a wooden beam or joist can span between support points, such as walls or beams, without compromising safety and structural integrity. #southernpine #designvalues #spantables #joists #headers #ceilings #beams #buildwithwood #lumber #wood #technicalresources #buildingresources

Attention all #HOA, community, #strata and #propertymanagers! We know dealing with complaints, stress, and anxiety on your properties can be a real challenge. While it's not entirely possible to eliminate these issues, we at RHINO Sound Control believe that prevention is the best way to go. High-rise buildings usually have a 6” or 8” thick concrete slab for the floor and ceiling assembly, with no suspended ceilings. Best Practice to #ReduceNoise: Make sure your #condo bylaws or rules are tailored to your #highrisebuildings construction type. For example: Your #acoustic underlayment should be tested over an 8” concrete slab with NO suspended ceiling assembly, rated FIIC 70. By setting the right standards, we can make our #buildings quieter and more comfortable for everyone. Let’s work together to create a #betterliving environment! 🏢🔇 #PropertyManagement #NoiseControl #CondoLiving #RHINOSoundControl

To Align or Not to Align By Doug Steimle, P. E. Walls studs and floor framing in multi-story construction. One of the more hotly debated topics in the multi-story wood community is whether wall stud and truss or joist alignment is required over the full height of a building, or whether it is beneficial to allow the framing to be unaligned. Let’s look at the advantages of each at a high level: https://lnkd.in/g3H8TDGQ

I've been thinking... More about the types of projects we perform. I love that we have the ability to perform traditional's like old school—brick and mortar, stick-built framing, wooden frames on site, concrete pouring. It's what we're used to. But modular? Prefab modules, constructing building sections or modules off-site; building wall panels, floor panels, and roof panels off-site, which are then transported and assembled at the construction site. Modular pods—all built off-site, then assembled like Legos on-site, so cool! It's faster, cheaper, and more efficient. Definitely worth considering for quick projects. #traditionalconstruction #modularconstruction #buildinginnovation #constructionmethods #efficiencyinconstruction

Time’s up! Did you find all the words? 👀 Time’s up! We found them for you with their meanings👇 . Chimney: this is a pipe through which smoke goes up into the air, usually through the roof of a building. Gutter: this is a narrow channel, or trough designed to collect and transfer rainwater to a suitable drain.   Fascia: a wide band that runs along the lower edge of the roof. It could be made of timber or concrete. Kingpost: a central vertical post commonly used in construction to support a pitched or sloping roof Eaves: an extension of the roof that overhangs the walls of a building.

Drywall or wallboard is in demand like other construction materials for interior finishing. It constitutes the overall construction projects and is used as per its acute requirement. To understand the aggregate materials and other requirements, you can have construction estimating services. But before using it, you need to keep out various concerns whether you are the project owner or the contractor. These concerns make sure that the material is properly installed and delivers the appropriate outcome. https://lnkd.in/dRnjzaS4 #construction #engineering #newyork #estimating #takeoff #building #drywall #renovation #remodeling #insulation

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

It takes skill to work with so many different materials! Cladding often strongly influences the insulation, structural maintenance, and aesthetic of a building. #BuildID #construction #skilledtrades #cladding #cladder

Check out these Timber Frame System guidelines for consistent, safe installation on walls, roofs, and floors. By following these standards, you can prevent errors, save time, and reduce costs in the long term.
