In the wake of the Grenfell Tower tragedy, there's a growing call to rethink how we approach building safety, particularly in the certification of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC). The latest discussions highlight the urgent need for a dedicated research centre to ensure that safety standards keep pace with innovation in the construction industry. At BIM4Housing, we believe that thorough research and rigorous certification processes are essential to preventing future tragedies. As the industry continues to evolve, our commitment to safety, transparency, and accountability must be unwavering. It's time to prioritize safety over speed and ensure that all new construction methods meet the highest standards. The lessons from Grenfell demand nothing less. #MMC #BuildingSafety #BIM4Housing #ConstructionInnovation #Grenfell Read more: https://lnkd.in/eiZGrt5E

Four key questions industrial property developers ask before buying a building: • Is there enough clearance for high bay racking? • Will fire sprinklers limit the usable height in the building? • Does the building have the necessary electrical infrastructure for the intended use? • How much renovation is needed to make the space appealing to tenants? — What other questions do you think are vital when evaluating an industrial property? #BuildingAcquisition #DeveloperQuestions #ARCInsights

Every new roof means an old roof goes into the dumpster. It also means a lot of money spent, of course. 💰 removal and disposal of the old materials 💰 the cost of the new materials 💰 the labor to install them 💰 professional services to design the system 💰 oversight and coordination by facilities and property management personnel It’s inconvenient, often disrupting building occupants and neighbors. Then there’s the risk involved. The building or grounds may be damaged during the work, often due to the very nature of the work itself (removing a component that’s protecting the building in order to replace it). There are potential safety risks. The considerations above apply to more than just roofing—building envelope systems are notoriously difficult to repair properly once installed. That’s why durability is so important. Durable materials... ✅ put more time between inevitable risks and costs ✅ generate far less waste ✅ are more forgiving of installation errors Finally, durability is the oft-neglected cornerstone of sustainability. Efficiency is great… until those efficient materials end up in the landfill too soon. Honestly, this doesn’t have to be super complicated. What are the oldest structures in the world made from?
