Are you up to date with the latest regulations that could impact you? The National Construction Code (NCC) has introduced new regulations for EV charging in car parks, and it's vital for you to be informed! 🔌 These regulations mark a significant shift in the industry, encouraging the widespread adoption of EVs. 🚗 See our blog below to view all the updated rules: https://hubs.li/Q026cZLH0

As electric vehicles (EVs) become increasingly accessible to the general public, the infrastructure supporting them is rapidly expanding. From bustling urban centers to suburban landscapes, new buildings are incorporating facilities to accommodate the growing number of EV owners. More and more experienced industrial general contractors are seeing, firsthand, the shift towards sustainable transportation solutions and the integral role construction plays in facilitating this transition. In this week's blog, we're looking at the recent evolution of EVs, their supportive infrastructure, and how they’re making their way into the construction industry.

With the accelerated uptake of electric transportation for homes and businesses, the demand for charging infrastructure is increasing. Electric vehicle owners need access to reliable, compatible and fast EV chargers at key locations, where it is convenient and safe, and with additional services including refreshments and rest facilities. This expectation has been met with the updated National Construction Code, which now incorporates minimum requirements for electric vehicle charging in new multi dwelling residential and commercial buildings. Existing buildings present some challenges, from the demand on existing electrical infrastructure to fire protection compliance. A.G. Coombs Advisory has published the below Advisory Note, detailing just some of the things to keep in mind when considering installing EV chargers in your building.

As the construction industry proceeds to evolve, Consigli Construction Co., Inc. strives tirelessly to stay ahead of the curve with innovative practices. Bill Seery, Prefabrication Director in our Boston office, has seen both sides of the market having spent 16 years at SurePods, eventually rising to VP. He joined Consigli to head our prefabrication efforts last year. “We’re working in some of the really high-cost markets in the country­—Boston, New York, etc. So we view prefabrication as beneficial in that manner”. Consigli is delivering light-gauge steel assemblies in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, along with many other offices. When Bill was at SurePods, the firm provided bathroom pods for the Prism Apartments in Cambridge, Mass., and other health care projects. Large contractors need to get fabrication facilities to “a certain level of scope and size” for the economies of scale to kick in, but Seery says the benefits are worth it. “If I’m seeing dozens of projects every day, if not hundreds, then you can see the same lesson happening over and over.” #Consigli #prefabrication #construction #modular #buildingbetter

The Architectural community and the Building community both struggle with staying on top of the ever changing cycle of code updates. When we push back, experience tells us that they will eventually catch up and cost us more in the long run. It's best to implement a good design FIRST, and work through those pesky code issues and upfront costs now. This is a perfect argument for hiring an Architect ALONG with the builder, and preferably those who work well together. And, if you think a good design is expensive, you should look at the cost of bad drsign. #relationships #architecture #energyefficiency #smarthome #whateverittakes #construction #buildingcode https://lnkd.in/eAa_eAKC
