architectural design concept for residential building

Looking to install Single Ply Roofing on a heritage building?   When it comes to heritage or historic buildings, any renovation, repair, or restoration work must be meticulously in line with standards and regulations, to preserve the architectural integrity and historical significance of the structure. Roofing work is no different, and it is often the roof that will need repairing, restoring, or replacing on such a property, due to long term exposure.    Single ply roofing can provide a wide range of benefits when it comes to restoring and renovating a heritage building. These benefits include:   ·        Being lightweight ·        High quality weather resistance ·        Being eco-friendly   For more information have a read of our blog in full: https://lnkd.in/e7KXU7rk #singleply #mebranes #roofing #flatroofing #maincontractor #architects #northwest #lancashire #heritage #historic #renovations #maincontractor The Single Ply Roofing Association (SPRA) Jake Clarke Teruka Taylor Paul Gibney Claire Holden Ben O'Connor

So proud to be above grade, topped out, almost fully clad and on the way to being occupied. More on what that construction code means shortly, first a big thanks to the crew on site for a magic afternoon walking the top floors and seeing how our plans are building to fruition at Eve Residences. The complex construction process for high rise projects is divided into several stages, each with their own names and significance. Once digging or excavation for a project is completed, the crane is installed, and the building begins to rise. When the tower climbs high enough to hit ground level, it has reached grade. Below-grade, at-grade and above-grade are terms that signify whether the building is below, flush with or above ground level. When the construction hits its final height it is structurally topped out. This means the final structural element of the building has been installed but work is by no means finished. If there are spires, antennas, or parapets, then once they are secured in place the building is architecturally topped out. After topping out, the concrete or steel envelope is completely sealed from the outside with glazing or other finishing and it becomes fully clad. When the building is ready to be utilized for its intended purpose, even if some construction or cosmetic work is still occurring, it becomes substantially complete. This often coincides with occupancy of some floors of residential projects. Final completion of the building is celebrated when the building is architecturally topped out, fully clad, occupied and all exterior and interior work has been executed! So a huge thank you to all who got us above grade and topped out and are knocking it out of the park to get us fully clad and occupied at Eve Residences. #construction #development #civilengineering #structuralengineering #urbandevelopment #propertydevelopment #australianproperty #homecorp

Architectural Acoustics We provide the best Architectural Acoustics Solutions for condominiums, office buildings, and custom homes. Working closely with architects, mechanical engineers, and developers we design noise control measures to ensure appropriate acoustic environments are provided for a space. Our services include: Review the architectural drawing set and provide design recommendations for suite demising boundaries to meet the OBC requirement. Provide acoustic treatment plan to achieve such as room finishes to achieve speech intelligibility and target reverberation time. Predict noise and vibration impact from building mechanical and electrical equipment and provide design recommendations such as floating floor, SI ceiling, and spring isolators to meet the design target limit. Provide design recommendations for silencers, lining materials, and acoustic barriers to establish acoustic compliance according to the guideline limit. Provide acoustic requirements for building facades (windows and walls) to meet the indoor guideline limit.

Builders, contractors, and architects, listen up! 🛠️ When it comes to designing for residential or commercial spaces—whether it's new builds or renovations—sound control is key. While fully soundproof windows and doors might be a myth, selecting the right glazing system can significantly impact a project's success, the soundproofing quality, and the occupants' wellbeing. Choose wisely for a harmonious space! Read our full article: https://lnkd.in/dt4vzn9

Drylining to Facilitate Building Movement A significant increase in demand for technology from heating and lighting control to building management systems has increased the amount of mechanical and electrical services (M&E) in buildings, resulting in the interior systems having to adapt to suit these everchanging demands. While the structural elements of the buildings have become lighter and more flexible, how we create internal spaces has evolved in a different way, focussing on the delivery of durability, acoustic comfort and fire compartmentation. A consequence of these different approaches was highlighted in work completed by the Finishes & Interiors Sector (FIS) Tall Building Working Group* which concluded that — “External loads make the building move: nonstructural elements should be installed in such a way as to allow for the movements freely. — Any locked in movement will cause distress in the non-structural elements. — Any frictional resistance to movements will cause noise.” And furthermore “The key to reducing the phenomenon occurring in future tall towers is sharing the information contained in the structural engineer’s movement and tolerance reports early with the system owners of the drylining, and providing movement joints to allow the elements of the internal fit out to move independently.” See the complete guide at https://lnkd.in/etvDJUJe #ukhousing #affordablehousing #residential #housebuilding #insulation #architects #insulationforregulation #insulationforthermalcomfort #newhomes #refurbishment #acoustics #rmi #refurbishment #improvement #drylining #plastering #plasterer #cladding #facades
