For all the advanced building specialists out there, today we're taking a look at the largest mass timber dormitory building project at UAMS (University of Arkansas) in the USA, in collaboration with the architecture firm, Leers Weinzapfel Associates' Ashley Roa, and WoodWorks USA. This is a short 'Lessons Learned' video about the project and their experience working with mass timber. #Construction #MassTimber #Architects #UAMS #AdvancedBuildingSystems #Design #USA #BuildDiary

He highlights the importance of good timber design in optimising the design of mass timber elements. Additionally, he emphasises how building codes outside of Europe need to be updated promptly to fully utilise these modern and more advanced building systems. #Construction #Interview #MassTimber #TimberDesign #OptimisedDesign #Design #BuildingCodes #Australia #NewZealand #Video

Why almost every couple on the programme thinks they can project manage their first—and most likely only—build is entertaining in itself, but it is usually fraught with mistakes and added costs. For me, designing and building my own home for my family to grow up in is one of my proudest achievements. One of the exercises that took the longest to complete was finding the right development land. I am currently undertaking this task again for my next house — for a smaller home further away from the city. Finding and buying land has to be done properly, so here are a few tips that I've put together for you. #SelfBuild #Construction #Builder #Land #DevelopmentLand #HouseBuild #AffordableHousing #DesignBuild #GrandDesigns #BuyersGuide #HowTo

Many companies miss out on this procurement advantage because they perceive it as too difficult and time-consuming. This is where a competent freight forwarder becomes a valuable partner, striving to get your products from A to B and through customs as efficiently as possible. However, ensure that you scrutinize all freight and logistics partners for their fees, as many tend to clip the ticket, making the administrative cost of getting through customs and handling port fees even more expensive, sometimes more than the physical freight component itself. I'm sorry to say that to me this is just daylight robbery, especially through Ports of Auckland! Additionally, ensure your freight and logistics partner is fully knowledgeable about the types of products you are importing, as mistakes applying the wrong duties can result in unnecessary costs that are hard to rectify after the fact. The team at Magellan Logistics has written an informative article about customs brokers that is quick and easy to read.

Tesla is a well-known brand, while Enphase remains relatively unknown, at least in my area. Despite this, Matt explains why he was so impressed by Enphase's battery technology and potential longevity that he decided to choose it over other renewable battery storage solutions.
