I've been thinking... More about the types of projects we perform. I love that we have the ability to perform traditional's like old school—brick and mortar, stick-built framing, wooden frames on site, concrete pouring. It's what we're used to. But modular? Prefab modules, constructing building sections or modules off-site; building wall panels, floor panels, and roof panels off-site, which are then transported and assembled at the construction site. Modular pods—all built off-site, then assembled like Legos on-site, so cool! It's faster, cheaper, and more efficient. Definitely worth considering for quick projects. #traditionalconstruction #modularconstruction #buildinginnovation #constructionmethods #efficiencyinconstruction

Do you have a machine shed that could use a facelift? Building recovers are the perfect option for saving time and money; a couple things we all could use more of! A 26-gauge Kynar painted metal will typically last on average 40 years with minimal fade with a 29-gauge SMP painted metal being substantially shorter. Typical building recovers are completed in a quick and timely manner and can reduce project costs by as much as one to two-thirds vs. new construction!

In the world of construction, every wall tells a story, every corner speaks of dedication, and every home is a promise. Imagine the hands that tirelessly shape these spaces—builders who are committed not just to deadlines but to lasting quality. They seek materials that mirror their dedication, something they can trust without question. Ready Mix Plaster steps in as a silent partner in their mission, a blend that doesn’t just fill gaps but strengthens bonds. It’s more than a product; it’s a mark of precision, an assurance that each wall will stand proud, enduring, and true. For those who dream of building not just structures but legacies, it’s the unseen foundation of reliability, quality, and excellence. Build not just walls, but trust and longevity. Choose a plaster that stands the test of time, just like the values behind every brick laid.

Our host, Matt Risinger, a builder experienced in unconventional projects, invites architect Steve for an in-depth review of this unique construction. In the video, they discuss the challenges of building in Austin’s rocky terrain, the importance of natural light in basements, and the use of a large sliding glass door for illumination. They also cover design details like a home exercise room and a concrete sill pan. Practical aspects of basement construction such as drainage systems, rust prevention with fiberglass ties, and the concept of ‘aging in place’ are also highlighted, with the installation of an elevator for the homeowner's long-term convenience being a key feature. While basements can be costly and slow to construct, and can sometimes lead to maintenance issues, careful planning and a meticulous approach can mitigate these concerns. #Construction #BuildingTips #Basements #HouseBuilds #Design

Ah, the romance of wood framing. There’s something poetically nostalgic about hammering nails into timber, as if you’re building your very own log cabin in the woods. But let’s take off those rose-colored safety goggles and get real for a moment. Wood framing, dear friends, is like that unreliable high school sweetheart – it looks great at first, but then the relationship starts to rot. Literally. Picture this: It’s a bright sunny day, perfect for construction. You’ve got your crew, your blueprints, and a stack of wood that cost a small fortune. Life is good. Then, without warning, the heavens open up. Rain pours down, soaking your precious wood. Fast forward a few months, and those beams have turned into a soggy mess that makes a sponge look dry. Termites have moved in, turning your dream project into an all-you-can-eat buffet. And don’t even get me started on the warping and twisting – your building might just start doing the cha-cha when the wind blows. Now, let’s switch to the hero of our story: cold-formed steel framing. Imagine a building material that doesn’t whimper at the sight of rain, doesn’t invite pests to dinner, and stays straight as an arrow, no matter the weather. Cold-formed steel is the dependable, low-maintenance partner every builder dreams of. It's like upgrading from a rickety rowboat to a sleek, unsinkable yacht. Cold-formed steel framing isn’t just about avoiding headaches (though it does that remarkably well). It’s about longevity, sustainability, and peace of mind. Steel doesn’t rot, warp, or catch fire. It’s strong, yet lightweight, making installation a breeze. And in the grand scheme of construction, it’s an eco-friendly choice, as steel is highly recyclable. So next time you’re planning a build, consider this: Do you want a partner that dances in the rain without turning into a puddle? Choose cold-formed steel and leave the soggy logs and termite-infested timber behind. Your future self – and your building – will thank you. #CFS #OffsiteConstruction #Prefabrication #Modular #ColdFormedSteel #MultifamilyConstruction #Developer
