The façade of a building serves as its first impression. When it comes to specifying materials for your next project, the choice of cladding is one of the first you should make. This blog digs deep into brick clad precast concrete and the benefits of using it to create your next façade. Check out the link in the comments below! #blogpost #facade #precastbrickcladding

Another example of the architecture that can be achieved with the use of timber frames and trusses. Top chord supported roof trusses have been used to form a cathedral ceiling feature throughout the open plan living spaces in this project located in Perth. More builders are choosing to utilise roof truss construction for the added flexibility afforded by their inherent efficient structural properties. In addition they promote the effective use of resources - this project was built in a fraction of the time. The prefabricated timber wall frames, roof trusses, rafters and beams were all installed within 5 days! That’s a very efficient use of carpenter’s time. Which is critical given the current shortages in skilled people.

Masonry? Nope, its an Architectural Insulated Precast Wall Panel with cast-in thin brick, split faced CMU form liner finish, and a projecting window sill all cast integral with the panel. Architectural Precast saves time and money over traditional masonry construction without sacrificing the timeless Masonry look. The precast mockup panel gives the architect and owner a taste of what their building is going to look like. Pictures of the final building to come.

Have you heard of voided concrete? Used as far back as ancient Rome, this technique utilizes empty spaces within concrete slabs to remove some of the material used in a floor or span to make the structure lighter, eliminating the need for additional support and reinforcement. But how is voided concrete being used in the modern age? While the ancients used empty terracotta blocks, the newly redeveloped 1 Wall Street, first built in 1929, uses two-by-two-feet plastic spheres— allowing builders to add more floors. The added slabs ended up weighing less, meaning the lower floors and foundation required fewer costly reinforcements to support the weight. https://hubs.ly/Q02gjxYH0 #Construction #ConstructionTechnology

Hemp blocks are the most accessible form of hempcrete, they are easy to use and require no special tools or machinery. They are light, easy to handle and with their size progress on site is very quick. Can be used for:- Internal or external solid wall insulation to existing properties. New build walls around a steel frame or oak/ glu-lam feature frame. New build walls in conjunction with a stud timber frame. Floor insulation. Roof insulation. Internal wall where high acoustic performance is desired. Intermediate floor insulation where high acoustic performance is desired. Sensitive restorations
