Following on from the initial ground works video of our Stone Harbour House project, we have made fantastic progress with an effective use of concrete flooring. Working with Su-Fix Precast Ltd, who designed and manufactured the concrete planks, this allowed us to span large distances and create a complete working floor in just 14 hours! Hollow core planks can be laid in all weathers which really helps to accelerate the build, as once the planks are craned into position, we have an instant working platform and allows us to continue with construction the very next day. The use of precast concrete floors also benefit the acoustic and thermal performances of the building, ultimately providing a more energy efficient home for our clients. #concreteplanks #hollowcoreplanks #sufixprecast #randelldesigngroup #kinganddruryconstruction #energyefficiency #construction #highendresidential #constructionmethods #architecture #energyefficient #thermalperformance #acousticperformance #collaboration

Why are bricks so useful for building? These are just some reasons: 🧱 Bricks are energy efficient because they hold sunlight throughout the day and release that energy after the sun goes down. 🧱 There are face bricks, common bricks, paving bricks, fire bricks, and refractory bricks – each designed for a specific purpose. 🧱 Bricks can withstand extreme temperature changes and are considered to be one of the most durable building products. 🧱 Bricks do not rot, dent, or need to be painted, so they are extremely low maintenance and long-lasting. #Brickwork #Bricks #Build #Architecture #Contractor #BrickworkContractor #Construction #Bricklayer #Bricklayers #ConstructionNorthWest #NorthWestConstruction

Marquee Cable-Wall Atrium in Toronto   Designed by RPBW Renzo Piano Building Workshop and built on columns, the Ontario Court of Justice features high glazed walls and a 20-metre high atrium. FRENER & REIFER was involved in the project, having been commissioned by Antamex Industries to design, fabricate and install the atrium facade.   With a height of almost 20 m, the atrium facade encloses the south-eastern corner of the building podium with transparent glazing, covering a facade area of 836 m². A flat, pre-tensioned double cable system supports the facade and is anchored to the main structure at Levels 1 and 5. The system is divided by three horizontal double T-sections (one inside and one outside) to transfer the horizontal loads into the lateral main structure.   Particular challenges of the project were the glass clamps, which had to be specially developed, and the installation of glass panes with individual weights of up to 1 ton.   We are happy to have been part of this project: our first ever in Canada - and hopefully not the last.   Project: Ontario Court of Justice Toronto Architect: Renzo Piano Building Workshop Location: Toronto General Contractor: EllisDon Design Build Inc. © Rendering: RPBW Renzo Piano Building Workshop   #frenerreifer #facades #construction #constructionbusiness #innovativeconstruction #constructioninnovation #innovativeconstruction #buildinginnovation #constructioncompany #constructionmanagement

🏗️🔍🏢 𝐔𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 🏢🔍🏗️ In the world of construction, the "bones" of a building, or concrete in this case, are a crucial element, holding up the dreams and aspirations of countless homeowners / renters. Recent news about Bellway Homes discovering a "design issue" with the reinforced concrete frame of an apartment scheme in Greenwich, London, brings to light an important reminder.: 𝐐𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫 It's been 12 years since the project was completed, but this discovery raises questions about quality assurance and overall thoroughness in its design and construction. As professionals in the development industry, this incident invites us to reflect on a few key points: 1. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐎𝐧𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬: A building's life extends far beyond its completion. Developers have a moral and legal responsibility to ensure the safety and longevity of their projects. Quality assurance and regular inspections are non-negotiable. 2. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲: In an age where transparency is highly valued, how a company handles such problems matters. Bellway's willingness to admit the problem and address it whilst simultaneously seeking recoveries from the parties involved is a lesson in corporate responsibility. 3. 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: The construction industry is a collaborative effort, with multiple stakeholders involved. Learning from such incidents and sharing knowledge is essential for the entire sector to grow and evolve. What do you think? Interested to hear your thoughts below!
