"The benefits of timber frame construction, particularly in the realms of health, safety, and speed of erection, are unparalleled. Offsite manufacturing not only ensures a safer construction environment but also significantly reduces build times, a critical factor in addressing the UK's affordable housing crisis." - Stewart Ferguson, Contracts Director. We couldn't agree more, Stewart! Timber frame is a modern method of construction offering unmatched benefits in efficiency and safety. Let's talk about how we can apply these advantages to your next project!🔗deesidetimberframe.com #timberframe #timberframeconstruction #modernmethodofconstruction #timber #offsitemanufacturing

Bricks are one of the best choices when it comes to exterior structure and material because of its strength and longevity, and cost. For many years, brick has been a reliable construction material. There is no shortage of brick structures around the world to supply the massive global demand, and that shows how popular and useable this material is. Not to mention that it offers a great level of sustainability and it is very cost friendly. Despite of all its benefit, the traditional bricks are not always the best option for builders and engineers, because of the following disadvantages: #Brick has higher thermal energy control, which makes it highly #Brick is cost-effective due to reduced construction costs. #Brick provides more options for builders and engineers with its variety and flexibility

#BuildWithStrength and National Ready Mixed Concrete Association know that to protect our communities, we must build with strong, non-combustible construction materials, like #concrete. Discover how concrete keeps it cool when confronted with fire: https://bit.ly/3UN2zbC

In just 12 weeks, NETZE Homes is building ready-to-occupy houses in Texas using steel framing. This approach leads to savings of 10-15% compared to conventional methods.

Ridge: The pinnacle of a pre-engineered building where opposing roof slopes meet, akin to a 'V' peak. It's a vital structural link connecting rafters, bearing the roof deck, and extra loads such as snow or wind. #RoofStructure #BuildingDesign #PreEngineeredBuildings #Construction #StructuralEngineering #RidgeElement #RoofDesign

Seeing tangible results that lead to community enhancement is a primary reason I chose the civil engineering profession.

Buildex Vancouver is coming up fast! Join Kinsol and friends for a panel discussion about Effective Team Dynamics in Modern Mass Timber Project Delivery (it's a mouth-full, we know!): In the growing and rapidly evolving landscape of mass timber construction, successful project delivery hinges on the effectiveness of project teams. Delivery models including fabrication-only, specialty engineering, DfMA, as well as the traditional model each come with their own set of benefits and challenges. Translation from demand to supply is the most time-consuming process because it is essentially virtual construction. “If it’s wrong in the model it’s wrong in real life”. Regardless of which model is followed, production bottlenecks can significantly impact delivery schedules. In this panel discussion, we’ll outline the critical steps in each delivery model and reinforce the role of cohesive teamwork in delivering mass timber projects from the perspectives of engineering, fabrication erection, and construction team members. Delivery models will be explained through real-world case studies, and attendees will leave with actionable takeaways on how to foster effective teamwork in modern mass timber project delivery. #buildexvancouver #masstimber #teamdynamics #projectdelivery Urban One Builders ASPECT Structural Engineers Kalesnikoff Adam Gerber P.Eng, MBA, MASc.

Berns Infrastructure previously provided a backstop design for a jack-and-bore operation installing new storm drain pipe beneath I-515 in Las Vegas, NV. An engineered backstop was needed because the jack-and-bore launching area was not located inside a typical subsurface launching pit. Rather, it was at ground level and the backstop design was necessary to withstand up to 100-tons of thrust from the equipment. It consisted of steel plates supported by 3 steel piles with strict minimum depth and shaft backfill requirements. Another difficult aspect of design: just a few feet behind the backstop was a steep downslope which significantly impacted the passive resistance of the piles. #construction #infrastructure #stormdrainage #jackandbore #graniteconstruction #freewayconstruction #draingeimprovements

What is the Purpose of using Caissons for Construction

There is a significant growth in multifamily structures these days. It’s important that these 5- and 6-figure projects get completed. Build with steel so your project doesn’t burn up before it’s completed. Concerned about costs? Using old-formed steel, you get a much more durable structure with minimal increase in costs. Who doesn’t want to get 10x (est) ROI on the durability by spending an extra 3% in production costs?
