Associated Builders and Contractors’ Post

PUSHING THE ENVELOPE I would like to pile on the congratulations to the project team, but with a Building Science twist: Not only did they receive the 2024 MCA Choice Award, they also achieved a Whole Building Air Tightness test result of 0.015CFM50/SF!!! For a point of reference, the Phuis airtightness requirement is 0.060 CFM50/SF. - 285,000 square feet building footprint - 423,000 square feet exterior enclosure surface area If you want the equivalent value at 75pascals, the power law conversion would be 0.019CFM75/SF. If you’re stuck in your ways and want to turn this into a less sensible metric, the average building height of 34 feet would give you 0.04ACH50 Multipoint table and chart in the comments below.

The last thing you want when building a school is traffic tie-ups, dust and noise getting inside, or worse, a tragic mishap involving a student being able to access construction areas. Planning in advance of construction can help educational clients to avoid these issues. #schoolconstruction #sitesafety

I love seeing this! Alternative delivery methods are the future! The traditional bid-build system for the Department of Transportation is outdated and causes more issues than it prevents in the long run. #construction #alternativedelivery #DOT #bidbuild

NYC DDC - DBIA Liberty Region - New York Build Expo -- Great job this week by NYC DDC's Jade Bailey, Director of the Design-Build Unit, along with NYCHA, MTA, and the New York Power Authority with amazing audience support from Commissioner Foley, Assistant Commissioner Yvi McEvilly, Kayla Holmes, and NYC Parks' Laura Pavilonis. It is exciting to see how critical public work improvement projects are benefiting from having the right project delivery tool. Since NYS gave the City the authority to use this tool, NYC DDC has been selecting critical and complicated projects for this tool and the results are coming in. Design-build gives NYC DDC the right project delivery tool to finish projects faster and more efficiently. Of course, the real winners are the residents and businesses. The days of open construction projects dragging on for years are ending as this project delivery tool is utilized. If the City gets the authorization from NYS in 2024 to also use Progressive Design-build and CM-Build, then the paradigm for how projects are executed will change dramatically and all in favor of the residents and businesses. Exciting times for NYC DDC and everyone that will use the completed buildings or roadways
