PCI Gulf South’s Post

Because of the Gulf South region's architectural diversity, robust and adaptable building materials are required to keep the buildings standing for decades. The perfect answer for meeting these various architectural needs is precast concrete. Learn why → https://bit.ly/3AzF7Hk

Steel is an incredibly strong and durable material, making steel structure stairs well-suited for high-traffic areas and heavy loads. They can withstand significant wear and tear without compromising their structural integrity. Also, the teel stairs we provide are often pre-fabricated in controlled factory environments, ensuring high precision, consistent quality, and reduced installation time &cost on site.#steelstairs #metalsteps #stairdesign #interiordesign #architecture #construction #safety #durability #sustainability #costfriendly #strengthanddurability #versatility #fireresistance #recyclability #costeffectiveness #commercialstairs #residentialstairs #industrialstairs #fireescapes #spiralstairs #straightstairs

Once we laser scan a project, our clients can order section cuts like slices at the deli counter. Or, we can bake them an entire 3D Revit cake. Either way, we only use the freshest ingredients. This is a historic 1905 residence in New England. Our architect client needed site-verified documentation with billions of measurements and 360° photos of all facets across four levels and three separate structures. Anyone who has attempted to hand measure a project like this knows it's literally impossible to get high accuracy information. Floors are not entirely flat and 90° angles do not exist (not even in new structures). #residentialarchitecture #architecture #renovationproject #historicpreservation #historichomes #historicrestoration #architects #architect #residential #renovation #residentialarchitect #residentialconstruction #residentialinteriors #interiordesign #newengland #building #construction

SubFloor is ideal for renovations and listed buildings, offering minimal disruption during installation and preserving the building’s structural integrity. 🙌 Its adjustable design accommodates uneven surfaces, a common challenge in older properties. The system’s raised structure also allows for easy integration of utilities without invasive work, protecting the character of listed buildings.

Resilient and super-insulated, this four-bedroom seasonal retreat by LEVER Architecture is clad in contrasting weathering steel and acetylated wood, echoing the geological character of the nearby Teton Range. https://lnkd.in/gApzedys

When you need to marry architectural features, like this overhang as designed by RHAD Architects, with a very high bar for building performance, you gotta deploy some crucial details. Like this multi-course install of mineral wool underneath a sealing layer of closed cell spray foam. Here you can see the strapping being installed for another course of mineral wool that will be just in behind the soffit cladding. These kinds of details are especially important at overhangs because of how vulnerable these areas are; not in contact with the insulating ground, shielded from solar heat gain, negatively impacted by the stack effect. All of which conspire to make overhang floors a focal point of design considerations.

Unitized curtain walls are a popular architectural solution for modern high-rise buildings. They are typically made of prefabricated units that consist of glass panels, metal framing, and sometimes additional materials like stone or composite panels. These units are manufactured off-site and then transported to the construction site for assembly. The advantages of unitized curtain walls include faster installation time, improved quality control in the factory environment, and reduced on-site labor costs. Additionally, unitized systems offer better thermal performance and weather resistance compared to traditional stick-built curtain walls because they have fewer joints and connections. Unitized curtain walls are designed to accommodate movement caused by factors such as wind, seismic activity, and thermal expansion and contraction. They also often incorporate features like insulation, vapor barriers, and drainage systems to enhance performance and durability. Overall, unitized curtain walls have become a preferred choice for many architects and developers due to their efficiency, aesthetic appeal, and technical capabilities. #Architecture #Construction #BuildingMaterials #FacadeDesign #HighRiseBuildings #CurtainWalls #Prefabrication #BuildingTechnology #GlassFacades #StructuralEngineering
