Roof maintenance MATTERS! - Penetrations in single ply membranes cause water infiltration to the building and the roofing assembly. - Water infiltration can cause delaminating of the membrane from the insulation. - This EPDM single ply membrane is one strong wind away from being blown off which can cause significant hazards to people in and or around the building. Not to mention significant damage to the building and structure. #facilitymanagement #roofing #architect #roof #maintenance #buildingenvelope #facility BOMA Boston IFMA Boston CSI Boston Chapter Boston Society for Architecture ISPE Boston Area Chapter

Post Tension Slabs in the Building Construction; Post-tension slabs are the secret ingredient that elevates buildings to new heights Here's why they're the go-to choice for modern projects: > Post-tensioning techniques reinforce structures, making them stronger and more resilient against time and external forces. > Post-tension slabs allow for sleeker designs and maximize usable space, giving architects more room to play with. > With post-tensioning, you get superior quality and durability without the hefty price tag of traditional methods. > Post-tension slabs minimize waste and extend the lifespan of buildings, reducing environmental impact. And many more! #Post_Tension_Slabs #Construction #Engineering #Creativity #Durability

You probably already guessed it. I'm a big fan of Mass Timber. But lately, a few people have got me thinking. Is it good to cut down a forest in Portland for a structure in Dallas? Hmmm, maybe not! That's why I LOVE what is going on at Urban Machine. They, along with their partners, are taking wood from construction waste and making it useful again. Did you know around 80% of demolition waste is wood? That shocked me. Let's cut down fewer trees, and make more Mass Timber. By utilizing the wood that's already out there! Way to go all those deconstruction contractors setting a new standard. Before you demolish, think deconstruction.

DID YOU KNOW… Façade is generally the front part or exterior of a building. It is a loan word from the French façade (pronounced [fasad]), which means 'frontage' or 'face'. In architecture, the façade of a building is often the most important aspect from a design standpoint, as it sets the tone for the rest of the building. From the engineering perspective, the façade is also of great importance due to its impact on energy efficiency.[2] For historical façades, many local zoning regulations or other laws greatly restrict or even forbid their alteration. And….That's where we at Denon Construction can help…..With over 20 years of experience in facade retention, our fully qualified engineers have the megashore and slimshore temporary works solutions to help you. https://lnkd.in/edUQkAnK To chat to one of the team call us on: 0800 0096341 / 07795054585 or e-mail: [email protected] #Denon #Construction #Temporaryworks #Bespoke #Solutions #Innovative #Demolition

All Georgian buildings should have a Bespoke roof like this one. Unfortunately, a lot of roofs had been replaced with absolute crap over the years, especially during hard times when there was no money in the country. Fortunately, times have changed, and it’s about time that owners seriously considered putting a proper roof that will last for generations. It’s my mission to re-roof as many as I can with roofs just like this one. #Georgianarchitecture #Bespokeroofs #Heritagepreservation #Roofrestoration #Generationalquality #heritageroofing #engineering #fireproofing

"I mean, why wouldn't you use it?" This is one of the most common reactions we get when builders and architects see the system for the first time. Pre-conceptions dealt with, evidence presented, contract won. - It's A1 non-combustible - It only has 17kgCO2eq/m² (a 40% saving vs concrete blocks) - It reduces water usage in the block wall by 95% - It’s AT LEAST as cheap as aircrete - It’s AT LEAST twice as quick to build with as cementitious blocks - The UK range is all 10N blocks - Yes, you can fix things to it - Yes, it’s the stuff you see all over Europe - It’s made by Wienerberger and is their biggest selling product across their global group Contact us on [email protected] for your next project #blocks #buildingmaterials #construction Wienerberger UK EH Smith Builders Merchants EH Smith Architectural Solutions
