More and more, clients are asking for composite siding, in fact, some juresdictions are preferring this material over vinyl. Installation requires experience and a expert skills. It's also a bit more expensive, but the advantages are in it's resistance to extreme environmental exposure. But, is it durable and long lasting? #architecture #constructionlife ##whateverittakes #multifamily https://lnkd.in/dSufNtX9

Today is National Sky Scraper Day, and we love to marvel how these towers are constructed, funded and the role they play in our lives! The tallest building in world seems to change all the time and teams of architects, engineers and developers are constantly striving to create the tallest in the world. The USA held, for many years, the record with the 1st being the Empire State Building, which is now only the 54th tallest. There are four classifications that make up skyscrapers. First is a Tall Building, which include 10 or more floors, but just shy of skyscraper status. Chicago is considered the Home of Skyscrapers, where the first 10-story tower (The Home Insurance Building) was completed in 1885. It was demolished in 1931. Second classification is Sky Scraper. These buildings tower are over 150m (490 ft) and have over 40 floors. They are typically constructed with a steel frame with curtain walls of glass. 15 cities around the world boast to having over 100 skyscrapers that make up their skyline. Third classification is Supertall. These high-rise towers are over 300m (984 ft) tall. An interesting fact when designing and engineering such massive buildings is their shear weight. This is considered the "dead load" of a structure. In smaller buildings, the "live load", which includes furnishings, machinery and occupants are typically heavier than the actual building, but not skyscrapers. Fourth classification is Megatall. These behemoths are over 600m (1,969 ft) tall. There are currently just 4 towers in world that grace this category. The record is held by the Burj Khalifa in Dubai and reaches over 1/2 mile into the sky, yikes! Enjoy with us the fascination of skyscrapers and share with us your favorite.

Happy Earth Day! Not all projects can utilize dirt as its primary building material, but some can. Tiny homes would be a good example as this one in the UK demonstrates. #whateverittakes #architecture #earthhomes #innovation #backtonature https://lnkd.in/eUhkEquH

Another wonderfully rewarding project completed and we want to thank Eastpoint Homes for their hard work and dedication to bring #affordablehousing to Jacksonsville, NC. and allowing us to be your #architect for Crestfield Point Apartments!
My team joined in today to celebrate the successful completion & lease up of Crestfield Point in Jacksonville, NC. Every speaker mentioned that the success of these properties stems from partnerships built between developers, government officials and agencies, and community representatives… we agree, the right Partnership is always key! 😉 #therightPARTNERSHIP

It was a rainy day yesterday. Here is a short video of what the materials looked like at a nearby community. When many people think about building a home today, they naturally think about what they have seen in the past. The old, traditional way of home building. This means working with a home builder to develop a home plan, sign a contract, create allowances for items such as tile, flooring, cabinets, countertops, etc., and then scheduling construction to start. But the traditional way of building means that you are depending on a builder to find skilled employees to build your home. He is depending on his suppliers to meet material delivery schedules. He is hoping the weather holds to allow him to build and that water doesn’t saturate materials and cause other damage. There has to be a better way… and there is! The modern roof truss industry was born in 1952. Trusses took a while to be adopted by builders who were used to building roof rafters onsite for every home. Old school builders didn’t understand them and believed the way they had always done it was the best way. However, they soon discovered that their high strength-to-weight ratios permitted longer open spans, which meant greater flexibility in floor plan layouts. They could also be designed in almost any shape or size. Roof trusses were built off-site and their only restrictions were manufacturing capabilities, shipping limitations and handling considerations. After the widespread adoption of roof trusses by site builders, floor trusses followed. And for all of the same reasons. The most important point to take away: trusses could be built off-site that were engineered to be stronger, were more cost-effective, and could be installed onsite faster than rafters built the traditional way. The natural evolution of construction now leads us to the next leap forward!

More and more, we are being requested to implement radon mitigation measures into the design of our multi-family projects. It makes sense, and protects the lives, especially children whos little lungs are still developing. Radon gas occurs naturally as soil and rock breakdown causing radioactive materials. The ground releases this developing gas with little to no effect to people. However, the danger comes as it gets easily trapped in buildings after construction. #radongas #construction #architecture #safefamilies ##whateverittakes #affordablehousing https://lnkd.in/e-Vag5cf
