Bailey Total Building Envelope’s Post

Homebuilding in the US has been stuck in the horse and buggy mode - on-site stick building with wood  in the same way for many decades. We are changing that with Griham Living’s Homebuilding 2.0 approach to building ADUs(our 1st product). We deploy a fully automated build process from design to offsite fabrication using cold formed steel while leveraging a global supply chain to source material at the best prices. Cold formed steel is fire resistant, does not mold and is dimensionally stable- it insures for less, is sustainable and lasts longer.  We are making  a small stride towards more affordable and sustainable housing development at a time when interest rates, land prices, and construction costs are at all-time highs.  www.grihamliving.com #homebuilding #adu #realestateinvesting #housingshortage #buildingtechnology #innovation #affordablehousing

The evolution of flooring estimation has become increasingly sophisticated, demanding technical expertise and strategic navigation through complex technological advancements and changing construction requirements. Here, Kathy Case, founder, Quantify North America explains how to navigate these challenges. https://ow.ly/b3ZR30sJqyh

Only three weeks to go until Precast & Masonry Expo 2024. We have a great line-up of exhibitors and a full seminar program featuring: The Sector Briefing: a talk from the MPA on the political and economic outlook of the sector, followed by an explainer of the brand-new UK Concrete Sustainability Strategy Framework. Toolbox Talks: One of the precast and masonry sectors greatest strengths is the innovative partnerships forged between manufacturers and the supporting supply chain. This session features a series of briefings on tools, products and services that help manufacturers deliver on sustainability goals. Enabling decarbonisation: In this session, we will explore the implications of changes to BS8500 and hear about other decarbonisation initiatives in the precast sector. Achieving Future Homes Standard: Guests from the Future Homes Hub and the housing sector will give their insights on what actions should the sector take, post future homes standard, to remain as the developer's first choice for housing.

In my view, accelerating the building 🏠 process, enhancing quality assurance, boosting energy efficiency 📈 in structures, and ensuring greater alignment between design 📐and final product are merely a few benefits commonly linked to Modern Methods of Construction (MMC). With building elements produced and assembled to varying degrees in controlled factory 🏭 settings, Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) are gaining traction for project delivery across the UK 🇬🇧 and Globally 🌍for affordable housing. From an architect's perspective, what are the key benefits of this approach? The Sano M-Dock system showcases several advantages that enable architects to leverage its digitally-driven platform for the provision of affordable housing. - Encourages strategic-level thinking 🤔 - Facilitates a more cohesive process from design through to construction - Promotes thoughtful consideration of the supply chain and components - Allows for regular factory visits to observe the assembly of designs - Enables architects to apply their training to ensure the end-user's experience is prioritised in home design The common myth is that MMC diminishes the architects role; rather, it challenges them to thrive within constraints, showcasing their ability to devise innovative solutions 💪.

As the hallways of the NeoCon are again bustling, its important to remember that we all play a roll in the performance of a buildings materials. I start off every class with the statement " Flooring is not designed, engineered or manufactured to fail, however, we often fail the flooring by either putting it in an impossible situation or having inadequate maintenance.... "The Ramifications of Specifications". Here is an article I wrote with Stanley Hulin a few years ago!
