When it comes to choosing the right building material for your construction project, understanding the differences between magnesium oxide board and gypsum board is crucial. Both materials have their own unique properties and applications, but magnesium oxide board often stands out due to its versatility and strength.

A customer wanted to know their options for drainage issues off their roof and a surrounding problematic entrance area. The customer also wanted to spiff up the entrance and provide a natural experience.   Because there is no stormwater drain locations nearby, and we have a tight budget, our solution is to draw the water away from the property in an elongated rain garden that fills an underground sump, almost similar to an underground cistern.   The proprietary process I invented will allow larger amounts of drainage than usual into a sump at the rain garden terminus, rather than inserting a cistern, and require less excavation and maintenance costs over time.   By providing this solution, we beautify the property, reduce drainage issues and treat runoff from, and around this facility by maximizing ground infiltration. * That is not a large window in front but rather a ugly block inlay design. We suggested constructing an exterior wood slat facade almost like cladding. This will completely change the experience of the space.

Residential projects can involve the use of steel as the material for building homes, from structural elements to finishing touches. Its purpose lies in providing homeowners with a durable, versatile, and long-lasting alternative to traditional construction materials like wood or concrete. Steel's strength-to-weight ratio allows for more open and flexible floor plans, while its resistance to fire, pests, and rot ensures greater longevity and lower maintenance costs. Additionally, steel construction methods often result in faster build times and reduced labour costs, making it an efficient and cost-effective choice for modern home construction.

10 Fascinating Facts About Concrete in Africa’s Construction Industry: 1. Fireproof & Waterproof: Reinforced concrete doesn’t transfer heat easily and can be made nearly waterproof, ideal for African climates. 2. Best for Highways: Despite a higher upfront cost, concrete lasts longer and requires less maintenance than asphalt, making it ideal for road construction. 3. Historical Roots: Africa has used concrete for centuries, from the pyramids to modern-day infrastructure. 4. Adaptability: Concrete can be customized for various climates and terrains, suiting Africa’s diverse environments. 5. Not Just Outdoors: Concrete is now used in interior designs, offering sleek, modern finishes for homes and offices. 6. Waterproof Underwater: Coastal and marine infrastructure benefit from concrete’s water-resistant properties. 7. Incredible Strength: Concrete can bear heavy loads, making it perfect for high-rise buildings and infrastructure. 8. Global Popularity: Concrete is the most widely used material worldwide, with billions of tons consumed annually, including in Africa. 9. Cement vs. Concrete: Cement is just one part of concrete; the mixture includes aggregates like sand and gravel. 10. Key to Urbanization: Concrete is vital for Africa’s rapid urban growth and sustainable infrastructure projects. #ConcreteAfrica #BuildingAfrica #DurableMaterials #SustainableInfrastructure #UrbanDevelopment

We often come across the question ‘How would a prefabricated balcony benefit my development?’ 🏗️🏢 Read more about how a prefabricated alternative could level up your next project. 👇 Imagine a solution that saves time and money and enhances safety. That’s the power of prefabricated balconies. They can handle more than you might expect in your project, making them a reliable choice for your development. 🌱 At Sapphire, we constantly work on developing low-carbon solutions that positively impact the environment and cater to the specific requirements of residential developments. Preassembled balconies are an example of our commitment to sustainable and cost-effective solutions. 💡Balcony construction has been a last-minute addition to an otherwise well-considered building for years. Adding concrete slabs takes significant time, can be cumbersome regarding waterproofing and drainage, and can be costly. Swipe right to discover how prefabricated balconies can change the face of your development. Want to discuss your next project?

The most frequently asked question about 5 Marla construction is likely the cost. The cost of building a 5 Marla house can vary depending on a number of factors, including the location, the materials used, and the finishes. #SquareLand #Parkviewcitylahore #Consruction

Time to introduce our runners up for the Momentum Sustainability Awards in the New Builds category. Perrymill Barn This ultra-low energy house focussed on minimising both operational and embodied carbon. Working in conjunction with Pentan Architects and PYC Construction to ensure careful detailing to meet Passivhaus standards, the superstructure avoids the use of typical high embodied carbon materials such as steel or concrete and instead heavily utilises glulam beams and frames to form large open spaces and window openings, and a feature truss above a swimming pool. This helped to minimise the embodied carbon whilst providing an attractive expressed structure throughout the building. Cement use was minimised, with Greenbloc Cemfree blockwork below the timber frame and 80% GGBS cement replacement to any remaining concrete. We also undertook SuDS design for the project, which features green roofs, bio-retention features and surface water attenuation. #MOMSAs #sustainabilityawards #glulam #engineering
