Damp!!!!! I encountered a lot of damp in this project. A typical Victorian design with a vented subfloor. This was causing a lot of damp patches around the property at base level. Coupled with leaking wooden gutters, yes wooden, causing damp internal walls high up. Gutters replaced, roof repaired and downstairs was treated and fitted out with a damp proof membrane to combat the spread. #propertydevelopment #propertyrefurb #propertyrefurbishment #propertydevelopers #propertydeveloper #propertyinvestors #propertyinvestments #propertyinvestment #norfolk #smallbusiness #building #hmo ##propertyconversions #letsgo #hjhart #hjhartproperty #hull #northeast

We were recently asked to assess a large section of the roof over Arthur Johnson Auction House in Nottingham. The building holds thousands of items for auction each week & the roof was starting to show signs of ingress. The existing bituminous roof had clearly been patch repaired in various places over the years. We completed numerous core samples, and an appropriate roofing system proposed. The existing roof had loose stones across the majority of the surface which were removed & the existing bituminous covering repaired accordingly. A recovery board was mechanically fastened to the metal deck, followed by StrataPlan SF 1.5mm Anthracite Single Ply Membrane. There were also numerous detailing challenges which the team overcame, providing a robust roof system for many years to come. #flatroof #roofing #roof #roofer #roofs #roofingcontractor #roofingcontractors #roofers #roofrepair #commercialroofing #construction #newroof #roofingcompany #rooftop #metalroof #contractor #roofmaintenance #residentialroofing #roofinstallation #roofinglife #architecture #building #roofreplacement #roofleaks #home #residentialroofs #staceroofing

Pavers For Building Market Outlook 2024-2030 For Additional Information, Get a Sample Copy>>> https://lnkd.in/d3kqV5A4 The Pavers for Building Market refers to the industry involved in the production, distribution, and installation of pavers, which are flat, typically rectangular building materials used in outdoor flooring applications such as driveways, walkways, patios, and landscapes. Pavers are made from materials like concrete, brick, stone, or composite and are valued for their durability, aesthetic appeal, and ease of installation. The market is driven by increasing demand for outdoor beautification, urbanization, and sustainable construction practices. Applications include residential, commercial, and public infrastructure projects. #KeyPlayers::: Belgard (United States), Unilock (Canada), Pavestone Company (United States), Marshalls plc (United Kingdom), Wienerberger AG (Austria), RCP Block & Brick Inc (United States), Tobermore (United Kingdom), Acker-Stone Industries (United States), McNear Brick & Block (United States), Oldcastle APG (United States), Boral (Australia), Nitterhouse Masonry Products,LLC (United States), Techo-Bloc (Canada), Bolduc (Canada) #PaversForBuildingMarket #PaversForBuilding #Building #Pavers #Construction #Constructionindustry #Constructionnews #ConstructionMarket #htfmi #htf HTF Market Intelligence Consulting Pvt Ltd

External Wall Build-ups - Brick & Block Construction We have been reviewing our typical external brick & block wall build-ups for the projects in our studio. We typically meet the building regulations u-values for new elements in existing properties and extensions but on new build projects we uplift fabric insulation standards to work towards zero carbon homes. Where possible we look to reduce the embodied carbon within the products we specific. We have compared our wall types by thickness and cost per m2 showing the additional costs of using more sustainable materials. It is interesting to see the cost difference between construction types and u-values 0.18 W/m2/K to 0.13 W/m2/K walls which is about 25% which would be less than £5,500 increase for a 3 bedroom 100m2 home.

Per Josh Rincon: After this week we’ll likely see a rise in defensively designed homes. This is an interesting example of one of the few houses in LA that survived the fires thanks to smart passive design choices (and some luck). - Passive design/construction - Semi-sterile perimeter - Brick retaining wall - Steel roofing with class A underlayment - Class A Ipe floating deck

Wood belongs in forests, not homes. Make your cabinets out of it, furnish your house with it, burn it in your fireplace, but don't frame your house, multifamily, or hospitality projects with it. Cold-formed steel offers strength and reliability without inviting pests or warping. It's time to modernize our building materials for better, sturdier structures. #CFS #Prefab #Modular #OffsiteConstruction #ModularConstruction #ADU #Prefabrication #ColdFormedSteel #MetalStudFraming #MultifamilyConstruction #HospitalityConstruction

Ever wonder what the difference is between commercial and residential fencing? Oftentimes, residential backyards include slopes. But with modern rackable design, select steel and aluminum systems to accommodate steep grade changes across nearly any landscape (this technology can support commercial fencing too 👌). Commercial fencing enhances security and allows better monitoring of a perimeter. Read everything that sets them apart on the Fortress Blog: https://lnkd.in/g5xfkkAN
