Wade and Paul explain how craning a modular home into a precast foundation demands extra thought and innovation. They must strategically cut out areas to remove the straps once the home is in place, ensuring a smooth and precise installation. #InnovativeBuilding #Crane #ModularHomeBuilding #42TechModular #CalgaryBuilders #CalgaryHomeBuilders #CalgaryRealEstate #HomeConstruction #ModularHomes #HeavyDuty

In a world facing climate extremes and increasing environmental responsibility, the demand for resilient building solutions is at an all-time high. Concrete masonry construction stands out as a key player in meeting these challenges. Known for its robust structural integrity, safety, and resilience, concrete masonry also offers significant yet often overlooked advantages such as aesthetic appeal, design versatility, energy efficiency, and low embodied carbon. CMUs are an essential choice for future-proofing our communities against the evolving demands of our environment. #CMU #ConcreteMasonry #ConcreteMasonryCheckOff #SustainableArchitecture #CMUCheckoff

Just a couple of 105' diameter bin foundations. These solid concrete leveled foundations are critical to avoid settling and future problems with the bins integrity.

How would a building owner know just how pourous their masonry is??? The answer is Rilem testing. RILEM Test Method II.4 provides a simple method for measuring the volume of water absorbed by a material within a specified time period. This split face block wall is NOT performing well!#JYDirect #RILEM #SheildMX

Code listed for cracked and uncracked concrete, and masonry applications, the Strong-Bolt 2 wedge-type (now available at confast.com) expansion anchor is an optimal choice for high-performance even in seismic and high-wind conditions. Dual undercutting embossments on each clip segment enable secondary expansion should a crack form and intersect the anchor location; this feature significantly increases the ability of Strong-Bolt 2 to carry load if the hole expands.

Day 3/30, #masstimber costs. One of the most common questions I am asked is if mass timber is more or less expensive. It’s an incomplete question. Compared to what? The #AscentMKE superstructure cost $43 per square foot, shipped and installed. That was 2020. Those prices are much higher today, estimated at $55-70/SF. This will never be competitive with stick frame, or even light gauge steel. But it can compete with concrete and structural steel. The next question is, where? Concrete prices very significantly from market to market because concrete supply and labor is hyperlocal. In California, it’s well over $100/SF. In Denver, it’s probably around $55, in Dallas it’s likely around $40, in Ohio and Pennsylvania, it’s higher. And so on. Mass timber, on the other hand, is much more static (subject to shipping costs covered in my first post). Also (see pic, taken by Nate Vomhof) Ascent is a mass timber hybrid, so we have to add the cost of the cores to get a true superstructure cost. This is one of many adjustments that needs to be made in the mass timber versus alternative calculation to get to a true cost comparison. To be covered in a subsequent post…
