Field Photo Friday: This week we are celebrating the second building completion on the Manor Industrial Site for Taylor Transport. 🚚 It's been great working with them and BuildForm Construction 👷on this project. Check out the progress below:

What does humility have to do with construction, you ask? Well, in an industry known for its grand structures and ambitious projects, it turns out humility is pretty key. Here at GREA, we believe it's crucial - not just for getting the job done right but for making sure we’re doing the right job for the community and the environment. Keeping humble helps us listen to the locals; every place we build has its own story and its own needs. By keeping our ears on the ground and respecting local insights, our projects do more good and less harm, building with the community, not just in it. The world of construction is always changing, and there’s always something new around the corner. Staying humble means staying open to learning. Going beyond buildings means remembering we’re guests in the natural world. We strive to make sure our projects are environmentally savvy, blending into rather than bulldozing over the landscapes we work in. Bringing incredible buildings we bring to life would not be possible on our own. We’ve nurtured a family of partnerships that spans continents. These collaborations, built on mutual respect and shared goals, ensure that our projects are more than just concrete and steel. So, yes, humility and construction go hand in hand. At the end of the day, we’re not just building for today but for tomorrow too. Keeping humble keeps us sharp, and that’s something we take pride in every day at GREA.
Interesting listen! On this episode the guys break down the engineering of constructing a rickhouse. There are many, many factors in this equation such as, angle of sunlight, air flow, weight threashold etc. I recommend this podcast to help understand all the factors that go into aging spirits and their flavor profiles during this maturing process! Enjoy!
New Episode! 441 - Engineering a Rickhouse with Buzick Construction We've all been driving through bourbon country and been amazed at the rickhouses that paint the country side. But what goes into building and engineering those? Buzick Construction has a long family history in the whiskey business, with their family building multiple rickhouses for Jack Daniel's. Today, the average size of a rickhouse is 50,000 barrels, presenting engineering challenges compared to older 20,000 barrel ones in terms of weight load, airflow, and temperature control. We brought their President, Donald Blincoe, and chief engineer, Kevin Aldred, on the show to talk about what goes into building a rickhouse. We talk about different wood types, exterior materials, precise airflow design needs and humidity considerations. We also dive into the costs because a rickhouse run into the millions these days. Overall, Buzick has been the name in construction around Bardstown and has a reputation in these time-honored warehouses. 🎧 brbn.at/441
Via Timothy Mastas, a cool overview of some factors considered in barrel maturation on the warehouse construction side. I *love* barrel maturation development, from dirt to climate to design interventions. Some of the most valuable decisions are made when we fully study and understand the intersection of maturation diversity with blending mastery. As someone who has overseen successful retrofit and construction with a commitment to expanded opportunities, R&D, and ROI, I highly recommend the podcast!

What is the single, greatest challenge facing the construction industry today? It’s the million-dollar question. Joseph Bouthillette shares his answer, and ways owners and project teams can overcome it. #ConstructionNews #ConstructionIndustry #LaborMarket #ConstructionCosts #MarketConditions #CommercialConstruction #CommercialDevelopment #Developers #Owners #Design
Witness the construction of a five-story structure using the tunnel form method, a cutting-edge technique. #building #builders #construction #constructionmanagement #constructionindustry #constructionlife #innovation #innovate

We know that for some builders, whether they are experienced in construction or looking to start a self-build project, there may be some uncertainty around how timber-frame construction can be used to turn a dream home into reality. But whatever your situation, here we explain why Merronbrook can be the perfect partner. https://lnkd.in/dnnEbka7 #TimberFrame #Construction #Consultation
Director, Kerto® LVL Sales Development / Kerto® LVL sales in Finland, Lithuania, Latvia, Spain, Portugal, Turkey / Kerto®LVL solutions for offsite, construction, industry. Long term experience of LVL and plywood...
Metsä Wood Kerto® LVL provides a wide product family for roof-elements 🌲🌲 🌲 In roof-structures, where structure vibration is not typically the primary determinant of the structure, Kerto® LVL S-beams and Kerto-Q panels bending capacity can be fully operated. Kerto® LVL constructed roof-elements can be mechanically connected, between rib-beams and top-panel or elements can be structurally glued (Kerto® LVL RIPA-elements) where the structural bonding reaches 100% adhesion between rib-beams and top-panels, which generates full composite action for element. Using Kerto-RIPA technology, elements span can be easily over 20 meters! Benefits of using Kerto LVL in roof elements: 👉 Possible to take full advantages from off-site construction process and Metsä Wood Kerto® LVL products performance 👉 Elements and structures are always manufactured under controlled conditions, protected against rain and UV etc. 👉 Fast to install, even 16,000 ft2 / 1,500m2 of finished roof per day 👉 Lighter roof gives possibilities to save material with foundations and with main load-bearing structures 👉 Less material waste and less work at construction site
