Colemans’ Post

Timely post by our pioneering colleague Russ Vaagen @ Vaagen Timbers - Mass Timber for datacenters and light industrial. I'll add that also considering a hybrid steel / timber solution will expand opportunities in the sector even further. Russ also shares a couple important soundbites about the connection to our forests - this continues to be an under represented piece of the Mass Timber story and we can't do any of this without healthy forests. That's why many of our presentations are titled "Tree to Key". Onward & Upward!

I personally can’t figure out for the life of me how to have a green thumb… BUT I can learn from the smartest Doctors I work with in what it mean to aid in our industry’s LEAN principle’s. Our concrete experts have all the deets - DM me to learn how we can bring green concrete to your next project!

As the construction industry explores sustainable options, it’s critical to examine the ways we build. Kenneth Smuts, president of RENCO USA, outlines a building method in which molded blocks interlock Lego bricks. The blocks are made of composite material repurposed from other industries, which reduces waste and produces less carbon. Learn more about how Renco’s real-life building blocks are making the industry greener. https://lnkd.in/e5m7UKMU

It was great to present at yesterday’s Structural Timber Association Ltd conference. Excellently chaired by Andrew Carpenter. The range of talks, case studies and debate at the conference was terrific, and testament to the skills we have across the UK in #structuraltimber. The routemap to #netzero2050 is clear, as is the scale of the challenge. Timber construction has a major role to play in this transition. Not least of which is the forecast for increase in market share that timber frame construction for new UK housing increasing from circa 25% to 40% over the coming transitional years. More home grown timber supply is an important part of this transition through forestry and supply chain projects. The technical resources that designers, suppliers and insurers now have available at their fingertips in the design and construction of innovative new structural timber projects is fantastic, thanks to organisations such as Timber Development UK , Built by Nature , Structural Timber Association Ltd and others. #timefortimber #lowcarbonfuture

Tyler Freres is featured in this insightful article by O'Brien, discussing the future of construction and the role of Mass Ply Panels (MPP) in driving innovation. 🌲 This is a must-read for anyone passionate about sustainable building practices and how the construction industry is evolving for a greener future. #FreresWood #MassPly #FutureOfBuilding

This year at World of Concrete 2025 in Las Vegas, we showcased our innovative technologies designed to make concrete both sustainable and profitable. With solutions like CaptureCrete® and CoolCrete™, we are transforming the construction industry by reducing carbon emissions and addressing critical challenges like the Urban Heat Island Effect. The event presented a great opportunity to connect with industry leaders, share our solutions, and demonstrate how sustainability and profitability can work hand in hand. As we continue to push the boundaries of innovation, we’re excited to build partnerships that will shape a greener, more sustainable future for concrete and the construction industry as a whole.
