RED Construction Group’s Post

Thank you Gabrielle Gould for bringing this to light. Let's start by focusing on our existing conditions and quality as it pertains to historic preservation and new builds. First, the statement “cheaper is better” has been ingrained in our building patterns and it needs to stop. Design, architecture, planning, and engineering is an art. A key signature of the team or individual who created it. I say team because most times it takes a team to bring it to fruition. “Wait, isn’t the quick prefab supposed to be more efficient?” Not exactly. The old way was! This is why we still see ancient marvels that baffle current structural engineering understanding. Look at the Pyramids or Manchu Pichu! These amazing feets are still standing to this day. As the saying goes, “Rome wasn't built in a day.” It certainly was not. So how can we build more resilient buildings? Start by getting to know the history and partner with an archeologist. Building quality is worth every dollar, it creates a vibrant community for all income types.
