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

Design for the World's Tallest Wooden Building in Perth Unveiled Australian architecture studio Fraser & Partners has revealed its design for the proposed 190-metre-tall residential tower named C6 in Perth, Australia, describing it as a "new benchmark in height for mass timber". Once completed, C6 will claim the title of the world's tallest hybrid timber housing structure. This surpasses the previously proposed 180-meter hybrid timber tower by SHoP Architects in Sydney and Schmidt Hammer Lassen's design for a 100-meter housing block in Switzerland. Timber is proposed to make up 42% of South Perth’s C6 building, including the tower’s beams, floor panels, studs, joinery and linings. The rest of the building's structure will comprise a concrete core and columns and a steel diagrid.

The popularity of porcelain pavers is growing exponentially, due to the fact that they hold up against harsh weather better than other common building materials. Porcelain pavers can withstand brutal winters since they do not absorb water that leads to the freeze thaw effect, causing large cracks to form in materials such as concrete pavers. #Pavers #PorcelainPavers #PorcelainAdvantages #Construction #Architecture #OutdoorDesign
