Shotcrete truly is a game-changer in modern construction. Its versatility and efficiency in adhering to complex surfaces make it an invaluable technique for a wide array of projects. The high strength, durability, and reduced permeability of shotcrete enhance the longevity and integrity of structures, while also allowing for rapid construction and reduced labor costs. As the construction industry continues to seek innovative and efficient solutions, shotcrete remains a valuable technique for both new constructions and repair works.

In this video, the customer had previously employed another contractor to build 145 feet of fence that we were to add on to, which apparently took a crew of four, 4 days to build onsite. After setting the posts and importing them into our Fence Genius software, we prefabricated the system offsite and showed up with everything to install all 325 feet & a custom gate in a matter of a partial days work with only two people. For this fence design, the bottom panel was a 5' Estate Style Fence and we added a custom 2x2 lattice topper. We pre-fabricated these as separate units for easier installation. Each rail gets 2 pcs, 4" exterior deck screws per end to fasten to the posts, and the toppers received 5 screws to fasten the bottom 2x2 to the panel, and the cap to the adjacent posts. #fence #fenceinstallation #fencecontractor #offsite #offsiteconstruction #offsitemanufacturing #buildingmaterials #retailbuildingmaterials #constructiontechnology #constructiontech #westernredcedar #homebuilder #hoamanagement #backyardoasis #backyarddesign #landscape https://lnkd.in/gz6jPAFk

The right tools make all the difference in a deck remodel. 👷♂️ When planning your deck transformation, it's important to remember just how taxing removing the old decking can be. The Wrecking Claw makes this a much easier process. 👌 The Wrecking Claw is equipped with a dual claw head that leverages the floor joists as a fulcrum point to pull up the boards. The long steel handle lets you remove the old deck from a comfortable standing position, saving your energy for when it's time for the installation. 💪 Ready to get started?

Do you want more free time? … Joining two pieces of timber requires the drilling of clearance holes so that the timber does not split  Currently carpenters use two tools, one for each task which is time consuming. RAPID Drill and Drive, two tools in one will drill the hole and drive the screw in half the time. #inspiration #creativity #innovation #design #how to #save money #save time #deck #timber

Over the years, properties may have been modified multiple times, and inexpert workmanship or gradual degradation of components following building work can cause internal dampness to develop, which often looks to be rising dampness. For example, a former owner might have installed a new driveway, which has resulted in the external ground level rising up above the line of the damp proof course. When this happens, it doesn’t matter if the DPC is working properly, as brickwork above the DPC will be saturated anyway. For similar reasons, if you or your neighbour props up items for storage against an external wall, or perhaps installs raised planters or decking, a similar situation can arise. We often find dampness in properties which have been retrofitted with cavity wall insulation. If the mortar pointing between bricks on the outer walls is not well maintained, this can allow outer brickwork to become porous, which saturates cavity wall insulation and allows internal dampness to develop as the wall tries to dry out.
