Proving the legality of our home extension! 🏠✅ Finding the right drawings with the building department stamp was crucial. 🔍📐 Our enclosed extension had correct windows, but didn't comply with zoning requirements. 🚧🔒 Thanks to a drawing and survey, we proved it was existing and could be continued. 💪📝 Today's standards would never approve it! 😱 #HomeExtension #BuildingDepartment #LegalProof #ZoningRequirements #HomeRenovation #ExistingCondition #Survey #HomeImprovement

Did you know that the concerns with the quality of installation of passive fire protection features are not unique to the US? Improper #firestopping #installations are as common a concern in the #UK as in the US. The aftermath of the #Grenfell Tower tragedy in London, England has triggered positive changes in the construction industry in the UK, specifically in the realm of firestopping and early engagement practices, or advanced planning. Traditional approaches, where buildings are constructed with firestopping being an afterthought are a universal concern. Early collaboration among various trades is crucial for effective firestopping. A discussion group on this topic at the London Build Expo provided some interesting and useful insights into the problem and some solutions. It is worth reading if you can spare 5-10 minutes... link in the comment section below.

In case you are "one of these people", who, like me enjoy knowing how things are put together, this may interest you. Do you know what these two construction progress photos from the new QuikTrip in Maryland Heights, MO show? It's the cage installation for the fuel canopy piers. It's amazing when you think about all the work that is "in the ground" on a construction project that you never see, yet it is a critical component of the design & stability of the project. Think about that the next time you fuel up your car or truck. #construction #generalcontracting #commercialconstruction #conveniencestores

Land allocated through planning for development, preconstruction archaelogy clearly recently done ✔️. But with today’s spring showers and the increased built area just up the hill someone will soon be owning a house in the wrong pond and if they don’t it’ll have to be moved to the houses further down, or the school, or the hospital. Some days I think that we’re simply ticking off the boxes of a process and not thinking about why things are actually needed. #waterflowsdownhill

Planning to build an extension? Wondering if you need a party wall agreement? It's crucial to know before you start to avoid potential issues with your neighbours.
