Combustible materials, in this case mass timber, used on the extension above an existing 7 story building in DC. By using mass timber on 80 M’s vertical extension, we were able to reduce both cost and disruption. This low-carbon, lightweight material, which also acts as a carbon storage medium, meant a quicker build and minimal intervention to the existing structure, allowing occupants to remain in situ during construction.

Commercial Construction Cost Per Square Foot Before commencing the construction of a commercial building, the biggest and initial concerns are always the construction costs per square foot. Commercial buildings are used in different sectors such as education, health, and retail. Dependent on usage and other factors such as location, the costs can vary greatly. The area’s zoning and geography also affect the construction costs per square foot, whereby materials are more expensive in earthquake-prone regions.

??Mass Timber in High-Rise Residential: The Future of Sustainable Construction? ??? Mass timber is undoubtedly gaining momentum in the world of high-rise residential buildings. But here’s the catch: it’s not non-combustible. ?? Given the current UK building regulations, which require materials below A2,s1.d0 in external walls, we might wonder if timber can truly play a role in these structures. Could timber be used in external walls if it’s part of the superstructure? Should it be encapsulated in non-combustible materials, or perhaps the natural charring layer of the wood would offer the necessary protection? ?? What do you think? Is mass timber the future of sustainable construction in high-rises, or are we facing too many regulatory challenges? ??

This project hopes to set new benchmarks for mass timber construction. Interesting read. We'll be watching this with interest. Could be a game changer in high-rise construction. #MassTimberConstruction #Construction #SustainableConstruction

In an effort to pioneer the construction of more energy-efficient dwellings, a modern British residence with thick mud walls evolved as part of an EU project. Architect Anthony Hudson used a centuries-old construction process to build the cottage, ensuring that it met modern building codes. The CobBauge project is located in Fakenham, Norfolk, and its walls are made of a mixture of hemp straw, dirt, and water, generating what is popularly referred to as 'cob,' hence the name. The thermal insulation of cob walls meets modern standards, opening up great opportunities for sustainable living. The three-bedroom project, executed by local builders Grocott and Murfit under Hudson's architectural guidance, was completed in January and was praised for its cost-efficiency. Mud, regarded as one of the most sustainable construction materials, has given numerous historic cob structures in Britain a lifespan exceeding five centuries. The residence, which features expansive south-facing triple-glazed windows for winter solar heating and is complemented by an air source heat pump, is the result of an EU-funded project. This is the first regulations-compliant cob structure, built with the goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions. Hudson envisions a future in which mud dwellings transcend novelty while recognizing the current problem of labor-intensive construction methods. As the residence opens to the public in March, complete with a 'green roof' to promote biodiversity, attempts to improve building processes for greater accessibility and appeal continue. Will Mud Construction Revolutionize Sustainable Housing Practices in the UK and Beyond?

Metal Buildings require less maintenance than structures constructed with traditional building materials. That means less time messing with facility issues and more time getting stuff done. #MetalBuilding #Construction #MetalBuildingSolutions #EfficientDesigns #SustainableConstruction #InnovativeBuildings #RoofingOptions #DesignFlexibility #EnergyEfficientSpaces
