The Crossings of Dawsonville is a multi-family apartment complex located 1/2-miles from North Georgia Premium Outlets in Dawson County, GA. The project consisted of nine structures combining the aesthetics of segmental block retaining walls, vegetated wire form slopes, and rock-faced, galvanized wire form walls. The entrance road to the development is supported on both sides by 40-ft, rock-faced galvanized wire form walls. A 52-ft wall constructed with the lower 1/3 as rock-faced galvanized and the remaining 2/3 as vegetated wire form slope surround the site detention pond. The remaining walls are dispersed across the challenging site with more than 125-ft of grade change.

Great montage of the necessary work needed to restore the land to a condition suitable for building to start.

Hudson Valley Bricks Red "rocks" - or remnants of bricks can still be found scattered along shorelines in the Hudson Valley. My newsletter ("The Brick") was named in tribute to days past of a once flourishing brick making industry in the Hudson Valley and it's impact on construction. Scenic Hudson shared some interesting facts about HV Bricks: What made the region a nexus for brick making? An abundance of clay, deposited at the bottom of glacial lakes at the end of the last Ice Age, about 12,000 years ago. Some of these deposits were up to 100 feet deep. At the industry's height, brickworks were located in more than two dozen riverfront communities. By the end of the 19th century, there were over 130 different operations that employed about 10,000 workers, primarily immigrants. Two prime reasons for the industries success: 1) A construction boom in Manhattan that led to a 20 fold increase in the number of buildings between 1790 and 1910 and 2) new building codes in the mid 19th century that required masonry construction to prevent occurring devastating fires. By the late 19th century, Hudson Valley brickyards were supplying NYC with up to 1 billion bricks per year. The lower quality clay in the valley led local brickyards to specialize in producing molded "common" bricks for inner walls, as opposed to "face" bricks that adorn building exteriors. It's fairly safe to assume that any brick building constructed between 1800-1940 includes some form of sediment from the banks of the Hudson River. The emergence of steel and concrete combined with competition from cheaper European bricks doomed the regions brick making operations. Hutton Company Brick Works in Kingston opened in 1865 and was the longest running brick plant in the Hudson Valley. It stopped operations in 1980, representing the end of an era. Pic taken this past weekend: Charles Rider Park  250 Ulster Landing, Kingston  Boat dock, playground, free. Beautiful views of Rhinecliff Bridge. Lots of bricks along the shoreline. #bricks #hudsonvalleyny #exploreny #brickyard #masonry #thisisupstate #upstateny #yesteryear #buildingnyc #constructionindustry #hudsonvalleynest

Canterbury Community New Construction Update Here’s a brief overview of the recent construction phases: Foundation: Our team began by preparing the site and laying a strong foundation. This involved excavating and pouring concrete to create a stable base for your home, ensuring durability and resistance to environmental factors. Framing: Following the foundation, we erected the framework using quality timber. This skeleton of your home defines its shape and structure, including walls, floors, and roof support. The framing process is crucial for establishing the layout and ensuring stability. If you have any questions about your new home or need information on other new builds or rehabs in the Atlanta area, please contact us at @haroldmonuhomes. #newconstruction #atlantarealestate #newhomes

Oooooh did you know??? The technique of "wattle and daub," 👀which involves weaving wooden strips together and applying a mixture of clay and straw, dates back to medieval times and was commonly used in constructing houses. 🏠 This method not only provided structural integrity but also excellent insulation, showcasing the ingenuity of builders in that era🧱👷. Today, there is a growing interest in preserving these traditional skills as part of the effort to maintain historical buildings and promote sustainable practices in construction ♻️. Maybe Gerald Rogers you could bring this back?? 😝 #construction #shropshirebuilding #dmospeople #shropshirebusiness
