Eric O. Pempus, FAIA, Esq., NCARB discusses "Contingency Funds in the Design Professions & the Construction Industry" in the December Building Blocks.

Our response to the Grenfell Inquiry Phase 2 report ⬇️ RIBA Chair of Board Jack Pringle PPRIBA said: “We welcome this thorough examination of the causes of the tragedy at Grenfell Tower and accept the report’s findings. It is only through the objective, independent and expert analysis of the evidence so sadly created by the events of 14 June 2017 that a safer built environment can emerge. The failures which led to the fire were system-wide, with myriad contributing factors in the years preceding, on the morning of, and in the aftermath of the tragedy. The report makes clear that people’s safety requires reform of structures and regulations. This includes systemic change within the construction industry, and a fundamental shift in culture and behaviours. This is a collaborative endeavour and RIBA has committed to playing a leading role. As the Inquiry also notes, RIBA has taken steps since June 2017 to improve education and training in our profession. With the benefit of these comprehensive findings, and as recommended, we will review the measures already introduced. Many of the report’s insights and recommendations, particularly on the role and responsibilities of an architect, have great relevance for our members. We will take time to study them in detail, update our members, and continue to play an active role in the creation of a safer built environment.” Read more: https://ow.ly/JkCj50TftJT

An article in Commercial Property Executive focuses on the rise of mass timber use in commercial real estate projects across the country. A combination of advances in engineering, sourcing, and code changes have allowed projects to use the material. Developers are seeing mass timber as an attractive option for meeting the challenges of construction efficiency, sustainability and tenant appeal. Anthony Markese FAIA, principal at Pickard Chilton, and Jordan Komp, principal at Thornton Tomasetti, provide an architectural and engineering perspective on using the material. https://bit.ly/3BqJ819
